on "devious maids"...

She's waking up.
Get a doctor!

What's going on?

You've been in a coma.

Because i'm pregnant.

No one knows.

Not even javier?
He's the father.

Well...
It's pablo's baby.

You'll break javier's heart
if you tell him the truth.

Am i really
going to be a dad?

Yes.



[ exclaims ]
whoa, whoa!

Carmen,
please don't go.

I have to, sebastien.

The bad part is now
i don't have a place to live.

Well, i have
an empty guest room.

How's your marriage?

Things have been
a little --
limp.

I shouldn't talk about my work
in polite company.

She's a dominatrix.

She stepped on my hand.
It was a revelation.

You disgust me, adrian!

I'm blanca.
Nice to meet you.

I know that the stappords
just moved back into town.

I bet you they're looking
for someone.



We've been a bit busy
with our little angel.

Wherever did you find her?

Argentina.
We visited orphanages.

Michael: Katy has
emotional problems.

Oh, g-god! Blanca.
What's wrong?

Uh, there's a mess
in the living room.

I was just going
to clean it up.

Trust me. Whatever it is,
i'm sure i've seen worse.

I can do it.
No. Oh, uh, w-wait.

What the hell happened
in here?

I'm looking
for the velvet whip.

[ whip cracking ]

Adrian: Oh!

[ chuckles ]

Yes!

[ chuckles ]

Evelyn, my god!

Where the hell
have you been?

I got up early
and went out.

And you didn't see it?

It was right there
in my rose bushes.

What?
A leg.

I found a leg.

Of lamb?

A human leg, you idiot.

Come again?

I must have fainted.

Next thing i knew,
juan, the gardener,

Was giving me
mouth-to-mouth.

Oh, you poor, poor thing.

Yes, and apparently
we don't pay him enough

To afford mouthwash.

Uh, excuse me, mr. Powell?

Oh, detective figueroa,
nice to see you again.

Yes! It's been ages since
we've had a murder at our house.

Uh, i-i'm sorry,
but for the record,

I need to ask
where you've been.

The...Chiropractor.

At 6:00 in the morning?

You had me sleeping on the couch
all night.

My back was killing me.

Can i get
this chiropractor's name?

Oh, he's expensive.
I doubt you could afford him.

I want to verify
your alibi.

Can i get back to you
on that?

Adrian, what's going on?

Mr. Powell,
this is a murder investigation,

And if you can't provide
your whereabouts,

I'll have to take you
down to the station.

I was at the...Club.

The country club,
the yacht club?

What club?

Sex club, okay?

Good god.

It's called
the velvet whip.

I was there all night.

There must have been
a dozen witnesses.

[ chuckles ]

Why don't i
give you a minute?

No. Stay.

There's going to be
another murder.

And the doctor says
if everything goes good,

I can go home
in a couple of days.

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!

Thank god, because the lighting
here does nothing for me.

Yes, your coma has been
so inconvenient for carmen.

[ chuckles ]

Well, anyway,
i have a little announcement.

You do?

Yes.
Now that my book is done,

I've been thinking about
what's next,

And then, when i got blanca
that job with the stappords,

I realized --

She's starting
a placement agency for maids.

What?

Carmen!

What?
You were taking too long.

Iórale! Bravo, marisol.

Thank you. I just --
i want to make a difference,

And i thought maids are always
helping everybody else, but --

"but who helps
the maids?"

Would you let me tell it?
[ chuckles ]

I actually have
some news myself.

I'm pregnant.

You owe me 10 bucks.

Oh, my god.
You made a bet?!

It was claro.

Carmen said
you were just chubby,

And marisol said
you were too old.

I did not.

You said at zoila's age,
it would be a medical miracle.

The important thing is
you're pregnant! Yay!

[ chuckles ]

Is javi excited
to be a father?

Mm-hmm.

How does valentina feel?

I haven't told her yet.

But i'm seeing her
later today.

You sound worried.

She's still
sad about her dad.

I have to handle it
just right.

You will.
You're such a good mom.

Now, exactly how fat
have you gotten?

Because there's another $20
riding on it.

Okay, sweetheart.
Mommy's gonna go talk to blanca.

Just stay put.

Maybe paint something.

[ door closes ]

How's it going?

Um, i'm almost finished.

Thank you, blanca.

I just -- i couldn't let katy
see all that blood.

No. Please, i'm just -- i'm glad
that she was still asleep

When that burglar
broke in.

Yes.
That was lucky.

You know, you were really brave
to grab that knife.

God, you must have been
so scared.

[ chuckles ]

Honestly,
it -- it just happened so fast.

I wasn't really thinking.

If you ask me, i think that
he got exactly what he deserved.

And no one's
gonna blame you

For stabbing a burglar
in your own home.

Well,
i can't take that risk.

That's why
we're not calling the police.

But you can help them
catch this guy.

I mean,
he's -- he's still out there.

He was wearing a mask.

I couldn't identify him
even if i wanted to.

I don't get it,
mrs. Stappord.

Aren't you afraid
that he'll come back?
He won't.

I-i scared him off.
It's over.

Okay, well,
at least call mr. Stappord

So he'll come home
from his trip.

Michael?

No, no.
I-i don't want to upset him.

But he's your husband.

I said no!

I appreciate your help,
i do,

But, please, blanca, don't tell
anyone what happened here.

You know
how people gossip.

You can trust me,
mrs. Stappord.

I'm counting on it.

[ sighs ]

A leg on the lawn?!

That's pretty creepy.

I know.
Creepy stuff happens here a lot.

Maybe you should leave.

Huh?

[ chuckles ]

Well,
it's -- it's actually

Kind of what i wanted
to talk to you about.

I got into med school --
columbia.

[ gasps ]
remi, that's amazing!

Thanks.
But here's the crazy part --

I have to start next week.

What?
Yeah, i got in
off the wait list.

I guess
somebody dropped out.

Wait, so you're moving
to new york next week?

Come with me.

Remi, what am i gonna do
in new york?

What about that fashion
internship with bruno de luca?

I turned it down
when my dad died.

Well, they said
the door's always open, right?

Maybe now's your chance.

I don't know.

Remember africa?

I followed you there,
and all we did was fight.

What if i could promise you

That this time,
it'll be different?

Woman: Hello.

Hey.

There's a weird lady
in your living room.

That's alma, one of the maids
i'm trying to place.
Oh.

I'm running the business
out of the house.

While i'm staying here?

Well, it's a good thing

You're only here
for a couple days.

You know,
i've been thinking.

Maybe you
could find me a job.

As a -- as a maid?
Yeah, why not?

Well, i just thought
you were gonna focus
on your music career.

Of course.
But i have to pay the bills.

I have, like, $4
in my bank account.

I'm desperate.

Oh.

So, go ahead.
Find me something.

Just not a big house
where i have to vacuum all day.

Okay.
And hopefully
a cool boss --

You know,
someone in the industry.

Got it.

And a house on the beach
would be fantastic.

I said i got it!

[ door opens, closes ]

Hi, mami.
Oh, good.

Let me get my purse,
and we'll go to lunch.

Actually,
i can't do lunch today.

Oh, that's too bad.
Can you sit down for a minute?

There's something
i need to --

I'm getting married!

Isanto dios!

Remi's starting med school
on monday,

So we wanted to do it
before we go -- this weekend.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down a minute.

This is crazy!

I just got ahold of my mom
on her cruise.

She's over the moon.
[ genevieve exclaims
through phone ]

We'll call you back.
[ phone beeps ]

I wanted to talk to her.

Forget genevieve.

Mi amor, you're too young
to get married.

Mami, i'm 20.

Exactly. When i was 20,
i didn't know anything.

Well, i'm not you.

I'm just saying
don't rush into anything.

What if he's not the one?
No offense.

Of course he's the one!
He's always been the one.

But you've broken up
before.

And what about all the boys
that are out there?

Latinos with muscles?

You should probably wait outside
for this.

Mami,
we've thought this through.

Zoila,
i love your daughter,

And i want to take care of her
forever.

So live together.
Keep dating.

That's the best part.

There's nothing special
about getting married.

Well, if we were married,
we could finally, you know...

[ sighs ]

You mean
you two have never had sex?

No...

You've always said
to wait for marriage.

Otherwise it's a sin.

[ chuckles ]
and you listened?

So, to be clear, all that time
you were in africa,

You two never...?

No...

Aww.

Come here.
Aww!

You're a good, good girl.

But you're not getting married,
not in a million years.

Hi, mamá.
Hola, miguelito.

I've missed you.

Isn't this great?
Now you can see the apartment.

It's so exciting.

Well, there's not much
to look at.

It's pretty small,
actually.

I'm sure it's enough for us.

[ cellphone rings ]

Oh, shoot.
That's my agent.

It's okay.
Go ahead. Take it.

I'll be right back.

Hey, miguel,
show mom the apartment.

Okay.
[ ringing continues ]

[ door closes ]
rosie: Wow.

What a nice living room.

Oye, miguelito.

You've got
to pick up your toys.

Yes, mamá.

And your clothes, too.

Those aren't mine.

Don't lie, papito.

I'm not.
They're spence's.

Oh. Well, he must be making
a pile for the laundry.

Is that the kitchen?!

Ugh. It stinks in here.

Doesn't spence ever
take out the trash?

I don't know.

Miguel,
take me to the bedroom.

I'm not supposed to go
in there.

Just a peek, papito.

I just want to see
where i'm going to sleep.

Okay.

Ay, virgencita de guadalupe,
por lo más quieras,

Please be clean.

[ gasps ]

Thanks a lot, virgencita.

Am i in trouble?

No.

But spence is.

I hope you don't mind
me popping by like this.

No, of course not,
uh, but the house
is kind of a wreck.

Oh.
Did katy make a mess?

No.
But, uh, blanca's just...

Doing some, um,
deep cleaning for me.

Uh, w-why don't we go
in the kitchen?

How's it going
with blanca?

Oh, good. Yeah, um,
she's a very hard worker.

She does whatever i ask.

Well,
that's good to hear.

Is she around?

Oh, you, uh --
you just missed her.

She took katy out
for a walk.

I needed a break.
Everything okay?

[ stammers ]

We just had
a really rough night.

That's all.

Katy had a hard time sleeping,
and...

Sometimes she has
really bad nightmares.

Oh.

When we first adopted eddie,
he had bad dreams, too.

It's a big adjustment
for a kid.

Yeah.
That must be it.

Anyway...
Mm-hmm?

...I was hoping that
i could drop something off

For michael.

Michael.

Uh, but he's in,
uh, boston.

I know, but maybe i can
leave this for him.

Uh, what is it?

Do you remember the idea
that i was kicking around --

The placement agency
for maids?
Yeah.

Well, i finally decided
to just do it already.

[ chuckles ]
life's too short, right?

It is.
[ chuckles ]

Anyway, there's
a bunch of legal stuff

With starting a business,

And i was hoping michael
would look everything over.

Uh, well,
i-i'm sure he wouldn't mind,

But i-i don't know
when he'll get to it.

When's he back?

Hard to say.

You don't know?

Well, he's supposed to be home
on friday,

But sometimes these depositions
can just go on.

Do you think
i should call him?

No. No, no, no, no.

I-i doubt
you'd get ahold of him.

He's very busy.

But i will tell him
that you dropped by.

Great.

I'm so glad
you guys moved back!

[ chuckles ]
it's like nothing's changed.

[ sighs ]
i feel the same way.

Okay.
I'll see you.

Well, it's official.
We are now social pariahs.

How so?
[ sighs ]

We have been disinvited
from three events.

It's that damn leg.

Oh, soon enough, people
will start gossiping
about something else.

Yes, perhaps
your delightful, little romp

At the sex club.

Technically, it is more
of a bondage and s&m club.

Well, i will have to remember
to clarify that

In our holiday newsletter.

How long are you gonna be angry
about this?

You haven't even apologized
to me.

Because i'm not sorry.

Last night was glorious.

You betrayed me!

I didn't sleep
with anyone.

Then what was the point?

It's not about sex.
It is about ceding control.

Do you have any idea
how liberating that is?

Evelyn?
I'm sorry.

I'm just thinking about
all the other men i
could have married.

Just come to the club,
even once.

Why would i subject myself
to that?

For our marriage.

Remember
what our therapist said?

We have to work on this
together.

Well, what does he know?
He went to cornell.

That's barely even
an ivy.

Please. I'm trying
to include you in this.

Just give it a whirl.

If you don't like it,

I promise
you'll never have to return.

Oh, i don't know.

All right.

What if i sweeten the deal
with an obscenely large diamond?

Well,
define "obscenely large."

I mean,
how can valentina get married?

She's so young!

So, you never told her
about our baby?

Javi, please. I can only handle
one baby at a time.

Do you know she's only 20?
20!

You've mentioned it
several times.

Are we ready
for the special dessert?

Maybe not just yet.

Are you kidding?
I'm eating for two here.

Bring it.

Uh, sir?

You heard the lady.

Now that dessert's
on the way,

Maybe we can talk about
something other than valentina.

Right. Sorry.
Go ahead.

I mean, she's making
the biggest mistake of her life,

But...Go ahead.

Zoila, breathe.

She's not getting married
tonight.

Oh, she's not
getting married ever.

No one is
marrying anyone.

Ah. Here we go.

Uh, hold on.
[ chuckles ]

Zoila, i know we've only
been together a short time,

But...You're the most
important person
in the world to me.

[ chuckles ]

Just a second.

You're so funny and smart
and beautiful.

And hungry.

Why won't you just let me
have a moment?

Why don't you just let me
have dessert?!

Because!

There's a ring in there.

What?

[ gasps ]

[ sighs ]
i had it all planned out.

You would open it,
your eyes would fill with tears,

We would tell the story
to our grandchildren, but now...

You were gonna propose.

Yes.

[ sighs ]

And after the evening
we've just had,

I must
really, really love you.

'cause i still want
to do this.

Zoila,
te quiero más que nadie.

Will you marry me?

Oh, my god.
What am i gonna tell valentina?

So,
you find me a job yet?
Nothing yet.

But you made some calls?

Look, i have to say,

Your résumé
is not the strongest.

That's why
i attached my head shot.

[ doorbell rings ]

Well...
It's only been a day.

These things take time.

How much time?
I don't know.

The job market is really slow,
you know?

Nobody is hiring.

I got the job!

Oh!
I start tomorrow!

Oh, that is wonderful,
alma.

Well,
thank you for stopping by.

No one wanted
to hire me,

But ms. Marisol
worked and worked

To find me
something.

She did, huh?

It was nothing.

What? You --
you're a miracle worker.

If she can find me a job,
she can find anyone a job.

Good luck.
Bye-bye. Thank you.

I'm gonna call you and...
Okay.

...Get all those details.

You're my friend.

I should have gotten
that job.

I-it wasn't really right
for you.
Why not?

You have
all these requirements --

A house by the beach,
no vacuuming.

Forget all that.
I'll take anything.

Just find me work.

I'll try.

No, don't try, marisol.
Just do it.

You're a miracle worker,
remember?

[ sighs ]

That apartment is filthy!

Don't you ever pick up?

Eh, now and then.
It's not that bad, is it?

It's a pigsty!

Then it's a good thing
you're coming home, right?

So i can clean it
for you?

You are really good
at it.

Spence!

What? It's your job.
Loo-- i'm an actor.

I wouldn't be offended
if you asked me

To perform a monologue
or cry on cue.

When we first met,
i was your maid.

But now i am your wife.

Of course you are.

I'm sorry.

I will hire someone
to clean it up.

Why can't you do it?

Me?

Well,
don't act so surprised.

When i was married to ernesto,
we always shared the housework.

I just think a cleaning lady
will do a better job.

But you got to learn
how to save money, papi,

Or we're never
gonna have any.

Okay.

When you get home,
the place will be spotless.

And you won't hire anyone
to clean?

I won't. I promise.

[ chuckles ]

[ sniffs ]

[ exhales deeply ]

What?

You might want to start
with the laundry.

[ doorbell rings ]

May i help you?

Detective figueroa.
Beverly hills police.

Oh, is everything
all right?

We're canvassing
the neighborhood

For leads on a case.

Were you at home
the night before last?

I-i was.

And did you see or hear
anything unusual?

Not really, sorry.
What is this about?

A severed leg was found at the
powell residence down the road.

Oh, my god. A leg?

And we think it belonged
to someone who was murdered

In the area
two nights ago.

[ gasps ]
that's horrible.

Don't worry, ma'am.
We'll catch the killer.

I'll leave you my card
in case something comes to mind.

Thank you, detective.

You lied to me.

[ sighs ]

Thanks for coming over.

I hate
the way we left things.

You act like getting married
is the worst thing in the world.

Yeah, about that...

I think i was wrong.

Did you just say
you were wrong?

Marriage really is
a wonderful, sacred thing.

So i have your blessing?

I support you 100%.

In a bit
of unrelated news,

Javi and i
are also getting married.

What?

I know.
It's a bit sudden, but --

You've only been together
for less than a year.

What's the rush?

Well...I'm pregnant.

Oh, my god.

And since i've been
so supportive of you and remi --

Papi just died.

And now you're getting married?
And having a baby?

I didn't plan
any of this.

But, sweetheart,
i could really use your support.

No.

Valentina --

You do not have my blessing.
And you never will.

[ door opens ]

[ door slams ]

Please,
i-i-i can explain.

No. You told me
the burglar ran away.

How did he run away
with a missing leg?

Well...

I'm not stupid.

He's dead, isn't he?

Yes.

Oh, my god.

What really happened?
Did you kill him?

It's probably better
if you don't know.

All right, uh...Listen,
maybe if it was self-defense,

The cops will understand.

I can't have the police
looking into our lives.

Why not?
Because of katy.

Her adoption
wasn't legal,

And if it comes out,
we'll lose her.

You know what,
this is insane.

I don't want to be involved
in any of this.

Look, look, look, you don't
have to work here anymore,

But don't go to
the police.

I am begging you.
For katy's sake.

Your keys
are on the kitchen counter.

Son of a bitch.

[ sighs ]

[ doorbell rings ]

Hi.

Ladies.
What are you doing here?

We brought goodies.

Tamales!
Oh, you guys are the best.
[ laughing ]

We figured rosie wouldn't be
up to cooking just yet.

And marisol
sent along dessert.

Oh, this is so sweet.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anything you need from us,
just ask.
Yeah.

Huh.

Uh, you guys haven't seen
the apartment yet.

Let me --
let me give you the tour.

Oh, we'd love to.

I-i have to apologize.

The place is, uh, eh,
it's a little bit of a mess.

[ chuckles ]
it's not so bad.

I hope you got
your tetanus shot.

Mm-hmm.

I've just been
really busy...

Taking care of miguel.

He's not buried
in here somewhere, is he?

No, no. He's in his room
playing video games.

Helps him
keep his mind off of...

How hard
things have been...

Since [voice breaking]
rosie's gone.

Oh, oh! Ooh, ooh, ooh!
It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm sorry.
[ chuckles ]

I'm supposed to be
the one keeping it together.

It's all right.
Let it out.

Ah, there is
just so much to do.

I know, i know.
Just let it out.

Let it out.
[ sobs ]

When rosie gets home
and sees it like this,

She's gonna know how much
things have fallen apart.

No, she won't,
because we're gonna help you.

We are?

Yes.

This poor, sweet man
has been through enough.

The least we can do
is lend a hand.

[ sighs ]

All right.

Fine. We'll help.

No, no.

I-i -- i couldn't ask you
to do that.

Rosie
wouldn't want me to.

She doesn't
have to know.

So you just sit back,
rest.

We'll take care
of everything.

W-well, if you insist.

[ sighs ]

Can you believe it?

After the way
she raised me,

And now she's
the one who's knocked up?

Maybe you should just
be happy for her.

You know,
if it wasn't for my mom,

We would've had
a lot of sex by now.

A lot.

Trying not
to think about that.

My father
would be so upset about this.

I think he'd probably
be more upset

That you and your mom
are fighting.

She forbid my marriage
before i forbid hers.

I thought you liked
javi.

I do.
Javi's not the problem.

Then what is?

I am going to burn this
hospital gown when i get home.

Who could possibly look good
in this?

Oh, i could.

What? I could.

[ chuckles ]

It's so nice
to be on my feet again.

I can't wait
to get back to work.

Well, don't ask marisol
to find you a job.

She takes forever.

Oh, she already set up
some interviews for me.

What?

Well, i told her
that i couldn't start

For a couple of weeks,

But she was so excited
to help me.

You were in a coma!
You can barely walk!

You're scaring me.

Why wouldn't she find me
a job?

I'm her friend, too.

Mm. She's probably just
looking for the perfect fit.

Or maybe
she's just full of it.

[ alarm beeping ]
what -- what are you doing?

This is an emergency.

Rosie, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's fine.
I need you to do me a favor.

[ cellphone rings ]

This is marisol.

Jerry: Good day.

This is...

Thurston howell iii.

Why do i know
that name?

I'm a very rich
millionaire.

Good.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Now, i'm in dire need
of a maid.

Oh.

Well, then you've called
the right place.

Can you tell me a little bit
about what you're looking for?

What am i looking for?
Fabulous question.

You want someone
who can start today.

She should be able
to start today.

Stop this!
Marisol is your friend.

And you love
puerto ricans.

Say it!

And i love puerto ricans...
For some reason.

Uh...Well, i have someone
who is very eager,

And i think she'd be
an excellent match.

She has someone.

Her name is
ruth rodriguez.

Ruth rodriguez.

So, i just need
your address --
hell no!

[ beep ]
sir?

Hello?

[ beep ]

Do you have a minute?

I do.

What's that?

It's my
ángel de la guardia pendant.

The one
your dad gave you.

I want the baby
to have it.

For good luck.

That's really sweet.

Look, i think i got so upset
because...

It feels like you're starting
a new family without me.

And it really hurt.

I can understand that.

You're starting
a new life with remi.

Without me.

And that hurts, too.

Mami,
i'm so sorry i overreacted.

You're my daughter.
Of course you overreacted.

It's what we do.

[ chuckles ]

We don't have to get married
if you don't want us to.

Oh...

That's not up to me anymore.
You're a grownup now.

But i love you
no matter what.

[ sighs ]

I love you, too, mami.

I'm gonna miss you
so much.

Me too.

Ruth rodriguez?

Ruth rodriguez?!

Oh, my god. That phone call.
That was you?

You were supposed
to give me that job.

Me! Carmen luna!

So you were testing me?

Yes. And you failed.

I thought
you were my friend.

Um...

I'm letting you live here.

I'm feeding you.
Of course i'm your friend.

Then why is it such a big deal
to find me a job?

Because
you're a bad maid!

So, what?

You're not even
gonna deny it?

Why would i deny it?

It's not like you think
i'm a bad singer.

This is the problem.
You don't care.

Who cares about
being a good maid?

A lot of people!
Zoila, rosie.

Well, how is it any
of your business if i'm good?

Carmen!

This is a placement agency.
It is literally my business.

Oh.

Businesses are built
on reputations.

If you're bad,
it reflects on me.

I guess.
[ sighs ]

Carmen, you're a diva,
and we love that,

But it can't always
be about you.

Okay.

You don't have to find me a job.
I get it.

Really?

I'm proud of you for starting
this business, marisol,

And i don't want mess it up
for you, okay?

So, i'll find something
on my own.

I'm sure you will.

Until then,
i'll just keep crashing here.

I'm so proud of you
for giving this a chance.

"proud" is no longer a word
in my vocabulary.

What are you doing?

I don't want anyone to see me
in this godforsaken place.

Well, sweetheart, everyone's
come here for the same purpose.

There's no shame here.

[ sighs ] fine.

Let's just get this
over with.

That's the spirit.

[ gasps ]

[ slaps ]

Ahh.

Evelyn: Why, that looks
horribly uncomfortable.

Yes. Lucky devil.

What strikes your fancy,
darling?

Uh, handcuffs?

Whips? Ball gag?

Oh, a riding crop.

As a girl i used to adore
my equestrian lessons.

You know
how to use that?

On a horse.

[ neighs ]

[ nickers ]

Well, perhaps
if we found a private room...

Evelyn powell?

It's me. Mitzy.
From the historical society?

Oh, god...

Relax. She's here, too. There's
no reason to be embarrassed.

Hello, mitzy.

What's this i hear
about a leg?

What are you people doing
in that house?

I'm so glad
you stopped by.

How is it working
with the stappords?

Well...

'cause it was such a joy
helping you get that job.

I'm sure
you're loving it.

I had to quit.

What?
I'm sorry.

Can you help me
find something else?

Wait, what happened?

Well, mrs. Stappord
was asking, uh, a lot of me.

Really?

I didn't have
that experience.

No.
No, i'm sure you didn't.

Well, i'm sure that
this is just a misunderstanding.

I'll just call her.

No. I don't want this to be
a whole thing.

I really just want
to move on.

Without even trying
to fix the problem?

I don't think
it can be fixed.

I'm sorry.

Blanca,
can i offer you some advice?

Mm-hmm.

When an employer asks
a lot of you,

You're allowed to ask
for something in return.

I am?

Sometimes a problem is
just an opportunity in disguise.

Hey, babe.
What's up?

We don't have to get married
right away.

What?

We can just be engaged,

And maybe in a year
we can plan a big wedding

And have
our families there.

[ sighs ]

That sounds
really nice.

So...
You don't mind waiting?

Of course not.
Anything for you.

Though i'm not gonna lie,
there was one thing

I was really, really
looking forward to.

Well, maybe we don't have to
wait for everything.

Oh, thank god.

Taylor:
...Told me not to worry.

You said you would
take care of everything.

Okay, then why were the police
over there asking about that...

Well, i mean --

Uh, i will, uh, call you back.
I got to go.

Blanca, come in.

Hi. I'm sorry.
Am i interrupting something?

Uh...
[ door closes ]

Uh, no.
It was, um...Michael.

[ chuckles ]

He's extending
his business trip.

Oh.

So,
what can i do for you?

My mom was a maid.

What?

Yeah, she cleaned houses
so that i wouldn't have to.

And before she died, she made me
promise to go to college

And make something
of my life.

She sounds like
a good mom.

She was.

And, yeah,
i'm trying to keep my promise.

But it's hard.
College costs so much money.

There's books and classes
and enrollment fees...

I wish i had
a scholarship.

But i don't.

Oh.

Well, maybe
if you came back to work here,

I could give you
a raise.

It'd have to be
a pretty big raise.

It would be.

You'd be able
to pay your tuition,

Finish college,
make your mom proud.

Well, i would be so grateful
for that.

Really,
i'd be grateful and...

Quiet.

I'll get my checkbook.

Mr. Powell?

Can i talk to you?

Well, since evelyn isn't,
i suppose someone should.

How can i help you?

I have good news.

And some
not-so-good news.

[ sighs ]

[ cellphone rings ]

Hello?

Marisol,
thank god i caught you.

Adrian.
I need a maid.

Well, what happened
to valentina?

She got engaged.

Oh, that's wonderful!

It's a catastrophe!

She's abandoning us
at the worst possible moment.

She is?

Oh, evelyn is already furious at
me.

This is the last thing
she needs.

Y-you have to help.

Well, i'm not sure
i have someone

Who is up to
evelyn's high standards.

Honestly, evelyn loves
yelling at bad maids.

She finds it soothing.

Really?

Can you get someone here
by morning?

Yes.
I think i can.

Great!

Okay, sweetheart.
It's bath time.

Blanca, can you straighten up
in here

While i start
katy's bath?

Sure, mrs. Stappord.
[ gasps ] yay!

Here we are.
Home, sweet home.

Do you like it,
mama?

Mm. I do.

[ door closes ]

It's very clean.

Go play, buddy.
Let your mom get settled in.

Are you, uh --
you impressed?

I don't know.
Did you hire someone?

No, i did not.

Then i'm very impressed.

You did good, mr. Spence.

Thank you,
[spanish accent] mrs. Spence.

Hey, where did zoila put
my hot wheels?

Zoila?

She came by
and gave me some pointers.

Uh...
Check your toy chest.

Wait a second.

Did zoila clean
this whole apartment?

No.

Carmen helped, too.
Thanks, pal.

Miguel,
go play in your room, hm?

Okay, okay.

[ sighs ]

But before you say
anything...

It's just --
[crying] it's been so hard.

Knock it off!

You made my friends
clean the apartment?

No, they offered.
You should have said no!

But i didn't hire anyone.
Isn't that what you wanted?

What i wanted
was for you to grow up.

And to take care of things
like an adult.

Okay.

You're right.
I made a mistake.

When i was married
to ernesto,

I knew
that i could count on him.

You can count on me,
rosie.

Then prove it!

I will.
But listen, i'm not ernesto.

It's not fair that you
keep comparing me to a dead man.

Thank you.

"pasaporte"?

Como no, officer.
Here you go.

Ernest falta...

What's the purpose
of your visit to america?

I'm here to see my wife.
