Devious Maids (2013–2016): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Turning Point - full transcript

Previously on "Devious Maids"...

I am having feelings for Ernesto.
Are you going back to him?

You have to give me something
I want.

And what's that?
I want a child.

I'll take Jesse back.

Too late. You can't have him.
He works for me now.

By the way, you lost
a fantastic maid.

JESSE: I've been wanting
to kiss you

since the first time I met you.

Maybe I don't have
to be married anymore.

I thought you couldn't leave your wife.
I have a plan.



What the hell happened in here?

FIGUEROA: We've been able to
identify the victim.

Oh, my God.
That's Louie Becker.

That necklace is gorgeous.

Thank you.
It was my mother's.

[ Muffled screaming ]

Mrs. Stappord told me
that she quit, left town.

That doesn't sound like Blanca.

Reina.
What are you doing here?

Can't I just pop in for a visit?

I'd invite you to stay,
but it's not my house,

and Genevieve hates it
when I have guests.

Mm-hmm. Well, good thing
she's in Mykonos.

I didn't even realize you had a sister.
She's an evil bruja.



You're a leech, and I want
nothing to do with you.

Aah!

Zoila!

And you'll need to stay off that
ankle for a couple of weeks.

Do you have anybody
who could take care of you?

Don't worry. I'm gonna take care
of everything.

Reina!

Reina, little help?!

[ PANTING ]

Oh, my God.

Ay, Zoila! Try knocking!

It's a kitchen.
There's no door.

[ Sighs ] You should probably
go now.

Actually, uh, I still need
a signature.

Get out!
Yep.

Oh, my God. You never change.
Sneaking boys in the house?

[ Door closes ]
Sucia. It's just like high school.

Relax. I was just having
some fun.

You're always such a buzzkill.

You're supposed to be
helping me.

I'm helping!
How?!

I'm out getting groceries,

and you're getting busy
on the kitchen counter.

Yeah, you should probably
wipe this down now.

[ Exhales deeply ]
Reina. I'm pregnant.

I got a sprained ankle,
terrible heartburn,

I pee every 10 minutes,
and my boobs are enormous.

Just the left one.

Actually, the right one is
a little smaller.

You're driving me crazy.
It's time for you to leave.

No! What if you fall?

The doctor said you can't
be left alone.

I'm starting to hate
that doctor.

You need someone here
full-time.

Genevieve is in Greece,
so I guess that person is me.

[ Beep, speed-dialing ]

[ European telephone ring ]

Hello. Yes, I'd like to leave
a message

for one of your hotel guests.

Genevieve Delatour.

Yes, tell her she needs
to come home right away.

There's an emergency.

Rosita. You're early.

Miguel's still
at soccer practice.

I know. I need to speak to you.

Uh, if this is about

the video games I bought him,
I --

I left Spence.

We're separated.

I thought you should know.

Uh, I'm sorry.
That must be very hard on you.

You don't have to pretend.
I know you must be happy.

I'm never happy when
you're in pain, Rosita.

Anyway, I-I got a live-in job
with a nice family,

and they said Miguel
could stay there, too.

What about us?
You would both live here.

It's been years
since we were together.

We may not be
the same people anymore.

I'm the same man
I've always been.

I promise you.

I love you...

but I...I just need
to take it slow.

Okay?
Okay. Slow.

I can do that.

Why are you smiling?

I was thinking, this is
just like when we first met.

I had to take you
on a hundred dates

before you would even
let me kiss you.

It wasn't a hundred.

Oh. Miguel's staying
at a friend's house tomorrow.

Will you have dinner with me?

Are you asking me on a date?

Yes. Why don't you come here?
And I'll cook for you.

Mm, that sounds...
[ Inhales deeply ]

...very romantic.

Bueno.
One down, 99 to go.

[ Giggles ]

[ Both chuckle ]

Ohh.

Ahh.
So...

have you ever had a nooner
without leaving work before?

Well, I used to work with
a platoon full of men, so, um...

[ Chuckles ]
[ Whispers ] No. No.

Good for you.
Keep it professional.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, I wish we could
stay here all day.

Why can't we?
Well, if you're up here,

then the house doesn't
get cleaned. [ Chuckles ]

But if you're up here,
the house doesn't get dirty.

[ Gasps and huffs ]

How about we meet up here again
tomorrow?

But not tonight?

I can't.

I've got this
charity fund-raiser thing

I have to go to.

I bought the tickets months ago.

Who you going with?

I was supposed to take
my friend Zoila,

but she sprained her ankle.

I'll go.

Oh.

Unless you don't want me to.
No. No. I just...

I didn't think
you'd be interested.

Well, I-I am.

Yeah, but these things are
really boring.

Well, it won't be boring
if I'm with you.

And besides, it'll be good
to spend some time together.

We spend a lot of time together.
[ Chuckles ]

Mm. I want this to be
more than just sex.

Don't you?

Well, I just --
I figured a guy your age

would wanna keep things casual.

Well, I'm not like
most guys my age.

No, you're not.

So, Mrs. Powell,
you'd like to adopt a child.

Yes, I would. Very much.

[ Metal clinks ]

Are you looking for a baby?
A toddler? An adolescent?

Whatever you have in stock.

In stock?

You know, in the back,
or wherever you keep them.

Ma'am, this isn't
a department store.

Of course not.

[ Metal clinks ]

Are we just gonna pretend
that isn't happening?

Mnh. I don't even notice it
anymore.

[ Metal clinks ]
So...

[ Chair scrapes floor ]

What's next?

I have a facial at 4:00,

and I'd like to leave here
with my child today.

That's not gonna happen.

There are background checks,
home evaluations.

The whole process takes
up to a year.

A year? Oh, no, no, no.
No, Loretta...

Can I call you Loretta?

You can, but my name
is Lorraine.

Lorraine,
I have so much love to give,

and I'm not wasting it
on my husband anymore.

Oh, don't write that down.

The truth is...

I've led a life
of tremendous privilege,

and for once,
I feel the need to focus

on someone other than myself.

Look, I admire your passion,
Mrs. Powell,

but my hands are tied.

But the child will never
want for anything!

We have eight bedrooms,
six cars.

I spend more money in a day
than you make in a year.

I am not endearing myself
to you, am I?

[ Turns off music ]

You should have knocked.
What are you doing here?

Oh, I came back to talk
to Evelyn about new houses,

but she's not here,

so I thought I would
say hello to you.

Hello. Now shoo.
I gotta rehearse.

Wait. What are you
rehearsing for?

There's a showcase at
the piano bar,

and I'm doing a set.

You are?
Yeah. Just getting my feet wet again.

You wanna come?
It's tonight.

Oh, I-I can't.

"I have plans with my wife."
I have plans with my wife.

I'm sorry, mon coeur,

but things will be different
once I leave Jacklyn.

But that's never going
to happen.

It is, okay? I told you,
I have a plan.

But you won't tell me
what the plan is.

It's better if you don't know.
Because there is no plan!

No, there is a plan.

Come on, Sebastien.
I'm Carmen Luna. I'm not stupid.

And I'm Sebastien Dussault,
and I'm not lying.

Just trust me on this, okay?

Mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh-mnh.

I put my career on hold
long enough for you.

So...let me know
when that plan works out.

Hi, Katy.
Do you want some company?

I bet you must be lonely,

with your mami
still in the hospital,

and your papi spending
so much time there.

When is Mommy coming home?

Soon.
She's getting much better.

Are you going to leave, too?
Like Blanca?

No. I'm here to stay.

Hey, did Blanca ever
play games with you?

I don't like games.

Oh, come on.
Everyone likes games.

Here. Let me teach you one
I used to play back in México.

Hmm?
You're from Mexico?

Mm-hmm.
Now your hands go like this.

Hmm? Hmm?

And the words go...

♪ Papas y papas para mamá ♪

♪ Papas y papas para papá ♪

♪ Las calientitas para mamá ♪

♪ Las quemaditas para papá ♪

Wow. You know this game?

Mm-hmm. I used to play it
a lot before I came here.

But this is a Mexican game.

I thought you were
from Argentina.

I don't wanna play anymore.

Oh. Okay, we don't have to.

Come on.
Let's go make lunch, huh?

[ Door squeaks ]

[ Steps creak ]

[ Click ]

Why are you keeping me
down here?

Why? I don't know anything.
I don't even know who you are.

If you let me go,
I won't go to the police, okay?

I'll just leave town and I'll
never come back. I swear.

I don't even know anything!
I'm begging you!

You can't keep me here!

I won't tell anybody anything!
Please!

Please don't leave me here!

[ Humming ]

Sebastien, I am looking
specifically for homes

with a large backyard,
ample playroom,

living quarters for an au pair.

Exactly. Child-friendly.

We are considering adopting.
If it ever comes through,

I'd like to be ready.
[ Sighs ] Wonderful.

Looking forward to it.

Mrs. Powell?
You're adopting?

Yes.
If everything goes well,

we will soon be hearing
the patter of little feet.

Size and sex of the feet
yet to be determined.

But why?
Why what?

Why would you wanna have a kid?

Your house is so beautiful
and... [ whispers ] quiet...

[ normal voice ]
and it's not...sticky.

Is this because you don't
want extra housework?

What?! No! I love cleaning.

But are you sure
you wanna have a child

at this stage of your life?

And what stage would
that be exactly?

I'm just saying,
it's gonna be really hard.

My friend Zoila -- she's having
a baby and she's miserable.

Zoila?

She's the one who works
for Genevieve, right?

Yes. She thought she was done
having kids,

but then she got knocked up,
and now her life is over!

How sad for her.

Thank you, Carmen.

You've given me a lot
to chew on.

[ Piano playing light jazz ]

[ Marisol sighs ]
Hmm.

Thank you for coming with me
to this thing.

Yeah, I totally invited myself,
but you're welcome.

[ Chuckles ]

What's this fund-raiser for,
anyway?

At-risk youth. But mostly,
it's just an excuse

for people to flash
their money and drink.

Well, I don't have money,
so...should we drink?

Absolutely.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Inhales sharply ]
Ugh. Gail Fleming, 6:00.

Oh. [ Clears throat ]

I don't think she spotted us.

Marisol?

Gail. Is that you?

I haven't seen you in ages.
Mm.

[ Air kisses ] Jesse.
Mm.

I hope this isn't awkward
because I fired you.

No hard feelings. I'm very happy
working for Marisol now.

Yes, I noticed.

At first,
I thought you were canoodling

with one
of the at-risk youth,

but then I realized
it was Jesse.

It's been lovely catching up, Gail.
Mm-hmm.

So are you two an item now?

Yep.

Wow. I'm so happy for you,

finding love
in an unexpected place.

It's new. We just started
seeing each other.

Regardless, mazel tov.

Oh, that's Jewish
for "congratulations."

Thank you. We were just
on our way to the bar.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Who is that man with Marisol?

I know. He's her maid.

But obviously she is not
paying him to clean.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Zoila! Where are you?!

[ Weakly ] In here.

Oh, my God.

Zoila, are you all right?

I am now.
Thanks for coming back.

Well, the hotel said
it was an emergency,

that you'd had an accident.

It was terrible.
I fell down the stairs.

Is the baby all right?

Fine, thank God.
[ Exhales ]

It was so scary.
Mm.

I really did a number
on my ankle.

[ Inhales sharply ]
I'm a mess.

Oh, of course you are.

Look at you --
pregnant, injured...

And is it just me,
or are your breasts crooked?

The point is... [ Sighs ]
I need your help.

I know we left things badly,
but --

Stop. That's water under
the bridge.

[ Sighs deeply ] Really?

Really.
[ Exhales ]

Besides, I couldn't bear
the thought

of you suffering here all alone.

Hey, "G" to the double "V"!
I didn't know you were home.

Actually, Reina showed up
to help.

How nice.

Make yourself at home, dear.

Thanks, girl. Already did.
[ Chuckles ]

Zoila, I don't understand.

If your sister's here,

why did I need to fly
across the world?

Because...

you've been much more
of a sister to me

than Reina's ever been.

I'd much rather have you around.

Oh. Well, that's lovely.

It's how I feel.

So...could you ask her
to leave?

What?
It's your house.

It'd be so much easier
coming from you.

[ Scoffs ]
Please.

I really don't want
to have a fight with her.

And I've been through
so much already.

Oh! Ah! [ Gasps ] Ow! Oh!

Okay. Don't you worry.

I'll take care of everything.

[ Scattered applause ]

MAN: Wow.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Exhales ]

I don't even know
why I come to this dump.

Look at the audience.
There's nobody here.

Excuse me.
And it's supposed to be a-a showcase

for "industry professionals."

Do you see any
industry professionals here?

If I may?
And I was awesome tonight. I killed it.

[ Chuckles ] What's the point if there's
nobody here to see it?

Uh, Carmen?
Yes! What do you want?

I'm Kevin Hanson.

I'm a talent scout
for Needle Drop Music,

and what I want
is to make you a star.

[ Gasps ]

And I'm telling you,

the Stappords say their
little girl is from Argentina,

but I don't think she is.

Rosie, I placed you
in that house

to make their life easier,
not to stir up trouble.

You don't think
they're hiding something?

I think they're trying to hide

that their marriage
is on the rocks.

But why would they lie about Katy?
I don't know.

But when I played
"Papas y papas" with her,

she knew all the words.

- So? -So it's a Mexican song,
sung by Mexicans.

I think that's where
she's really from.

That's not much to go on.

Mnh-mnh.
[ Scoffs ]

You guys think I'm being stupid.

Of course not. No one is saying
that you're stupid.

I'll say it.
Carmen!

What? That's her thing.

I'm the hot one,
she's the dumb one,

Zoila is the mean one,
and you're the other one.

I don't even get an adjective.

Who wants to hit her first?

I will. I'm the mean one.

[ Laughter ]

Thank you.

[ Whispers ] Ah!
To pink champagne,

the only thing better than
regular champagne. [ Chuckles ]

[ Clink ]
Cheers!

Mmm. It's so nice of you to
take me out for a swanky lunch.

You're paying, right?

Of course.
I just wanna thank you

for taking such good care
of our little Zoila.

It's my pleasure.
Oh.

Aren't you a good sister?
[ Chuckles ]

The thing is, now that I'm back,

Zoila doesn't have to be
your burden anymore.

My burden?

Well, surely you must be tired
of looking after her.

Oh, my God.
You're throwing me out.

Did Zoila put you up to this?

Well...

she's very grateful to you
for all your efforts,

just not grateful enough
to let you stay.

I don't know why I'm surprised.

Zoila has always been
extremely selfish.

Now, now.
That's not fair.

Oh, it's not?

You think she considered
your feelings

when she dragged you back here
from your big vacation?

She needed me.
You may not know this,

but we have a very special bond.

Some bond.

She complained about you
the entire time you were gone.

She did? What did she say?
You know, something about

you two getting
into a big fight,

and it being all your fault.

But you know what?
I don't wanna get in the middle.

My fault?
She really thinks that?

No, no. I've said too much.

Anyway, I will just pack up
my things and I'll go.

[ Voice breaks ] It's important
that Zoila gets what she wants.

[ Sobs ] I just...

I thought she'd be
more sympathetic,

since she -- she knows
I can't go home.

Oh, sweetie, why not?

I'm in the middle of a divorce.

I have no money.
I have nowhere to go.

But Zoila needs her space.

Don't cry. There must be
some way I can help.

No. [ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] No, Zoila
clearly wants me to suffer.

Well, Zoila doesn't get to
decide everything,

now does she?

Hello, Zoila.

Genevieve isn't here right now.

That's all right. I came to see you.
What? Why?

[ Door closes ] I just heard you're pregnant!
Now how am I the last to know?

Because we're not friends?

Of course we're friends.

What's my last name?

Del...Barrio.

It's Diaz,
but thanks for playing.

Wait.

I brought you a gift.

A cashmere baby blanket?

Don't throw it in the wash.
It's dry clean only.

How...practical.

Mrs. Powell,
let's cut to the chase here.

What are you after?

Zoila...I know your life
is hard,

and I was wondering if you might

allow me to make it easier.

How?
By letting me raise your baby.

What?
Just think about it.

Your child will go
to private schools,

visit exotic places,

have the best therapists
money can buy.

And, of course, you'll be
generously compensated.

You wanna buy my baby?

Adopt your baby...
for a fee.

[ Laughs ]

Why are you laughing?

Because what you're asking
is horrible!

And weirdly flattering.

But my baby is not for sale.

Are you certain?

Yes.
If that's what you're after,

you'll have to find someone
a lot more desperate than me.

Very well then.

No baby, no cashmere.

[ Dishes clatter ]

Thank you, Jesse.

Sandra, how did you find out
about my service?

Sandra?

Oh. Um...Gail told me
all about it.

Gail Fleming?

She told me how much
you enjoy your maid,

and I'd like to have someone
that I could enjoy as well.

Well, why not?
You deserve it.

Are you doing all the housework
yourself right now?

[ Chuckles ] "Housework."

Yes, unfortunately,

I take care
of all of that myself.

[ Whispers ] Okay.

But I've never hired anyone
to clean before.

There's nothing
to be nervous about.

Now let me ask you
a few questions.

What kind of job do you want?

Do you want a deep cleaning
or just a quick in and out?

Deep. Definitely deep.

I want someone strong,

who will spend
some serious time...

on my house.

How soon can you get someone
over to me?

Well, I have a great person
in mind.

Her name is Phyllis.

No, no, no.

I don't want a woman.
I need a man.

Unfortunately, I don't have
any men available right now.

Well, how about your maid?
Jesse?

He works for me full-time.

Well, I don't mind sharing,
if you're up for it.

Jesse seems worth it.

Tall, handsome...

Are the rumors true?

I'm sorry, Sandra,

this is a legitimate placement
agency for housekeepers.

With a happy ending.

[ Chuckles ]

What exactly do you think
I'm selling here?

Sex.
You're a madam, right?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Reina, how was your lunch
with Genevieve? Are you okay?

Can I help you pack?

Actually...

she gave me a job.

Wait. What?

She liked my style, so I'm gonna
be her new personal shopper.

So you're gonna be working here?

And living here, too.

You can't get rid of me
that easy, sis.

You gave Reina a job?

Your sister's going through
a very difficult time right now.

Genevieve!
She's manipulating you.

Like you manipulated me
into coming home from Greece?

I fell down the stairs!

A week ago, but you didn't
call for my help

until you couldn't stand
your sister anymore.

Okay, that's...true.

But I really am glad
you're here.

You tricked me into coming back
so I'd get rid of Reina.

But she's a very nice person.

And I won't do it.
I'm not your puppet.

Okay, this is what Reina does.

She turns people
against each other.

She told me you'd say that.
She's taking advantage of you.

She told me you'd say that, too.

I'm trying to protect you.

You give Reina an inch,
she'll take a mile.

Zoila, you've always said
that Reina is the bad sister.

But what if
it's the other way around?

Gail...
why did you tell Sandra

that I'm running
an escort service?

I beg your pardon?
You told her I was selling sex.

No, I didn't. I told her
you were buying sex.

Gail!
Well, aren't you?

No!
So you're not paying Jesse?

I'm paying him.

Then you're not having sex
with him?

Well...

Thanks for clearing that up.

Look, I'm not paying Jesse
for sex.

I'm paying him to clean.
Of course.

And every time I hire an escort,
I pay him for the companionship.

The sex he just tosses in
for free.

Do not turn me into you, Gail.
I am not you.

Okay, Marisol, please.

Do you really think that

that tall glass
of chocolate milk

would be interested in you
if you weren't paying him?

I do.

I think he genuinely likes me.

And you know what?
I like him, too.

He's smart, he's sweet, and...
he knows what he wants.

Huh. So you actually think

you and Jesse have a future
together?

Maybe. Why not?

Because you are holding
the purse strings.

And as long as that's true,
you're not equals.

Do you like the mole?

It's my abuelita's recipe.

Remember, she made it
the night we got engaged?

Mm-hmm.

Is everything okay?

You seem so quiet tonight.

I'm sorry. It's not you.

Then what is it? Tell me.

Do you think I'm stupid?
Huh?

I was talking to my friends
about something today,

and it felt like they were
calling me dumb.

Why would you think that?
Because they called me dumb.

[ Sighs ] These people are
your friends?

You are not stupid.

I would not marry
a stupid woman.

You wouldn't?
No.

You may get your English
confused sometimes,

but you see things
other people don't.

And you know why?

No.

Because you have a big heart.
You care more than anyone.

I think it makes you beautiful.

And that's why I love you
so much.

Now tell me what you were
talking about with your friends,

and I will tell you why
they are the stupid ones.

Later.

I think I'm ready
for dessert now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I thought you wanted
to take it slow.

Mm, that was stupid.

Oh.

[ Moans]

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Clatter ]

[ Clacking ]

[ Sighs ]

I can't believe I'm here!

This label has launched
so many careers.

And I am sure yours
is gonna be the next one.

You think so?

Of course.

I've been listening
to your demo nonstop.

Don't you know how amazing
you are?

Oh, I do, but I wanted
to hear you say it.

[ Laughs ] Come on in.

Here you go.

Wow.
Your office is fantastic.

Oh, it's not mine. It belongs
to the company president.

Santo Dios. How many awards
can one person win?

I know.

You know, she's only been
with our company

for a couple of months,

but she's been
in the business forever.

She must be amazing.

Now I don't want
to make you nervous,

but she only meets
with the artists

who she wants to sign.

Oh, my God! [ Laughs ]
You're kidding me! [ Laughs ]

You must be Carmen Luna.

Ooh, I've been listening
to your music.

You're very, very talented.

Wow. This is like
a dream come true.

Carmen, meet the president
of Needle Drop,

Jacklyn Dussault.

What?

Dussault. It's French.
My husband's name.

Your husband?
Mm-hmm.

Handsome, isn't he?

[ Exhales deeply ]

Can you believe it?

Of all the music people in town,

the only one who wants
to sign me is your wife.

Well, what'd you say?

I told her I have to think
about it.

But you're gonna say yes.
I don't know.

I'm screwing her husband.
It doesn't feel right.

But you --
you have to say yes, Carmen.

Why do I have to?
Because this is the plan.

What?

I set it up for you, okay?
You told me about your show.

I got an assistant to send
that talent scout.

[ Smack ]
Ow! I knew if he heard you,

he would love you
and introduce you to Jacklyn.

[ Smack ]
Ow! Please stop hitting me.

I told you I didn't wanna
meet your wife.

But this is
what Jacklyn does, okay?

She finds new talent
and turns them into stars.

And once you're a star,
we won't need her money anymore.

We'll have yours.

See?
I told you I had a plan.

That's your plan?

I thought you were gonna
break the prenup.

Eh, that thing is unbreakable,

so I had to think
of something else.

I never should have fallen
for a Frenchman.

You're all crazy.

Look, I believe in you
and your talent.

I think you got what it takes.

Does that make me crazy?

It's too dangerous.

If I'm working with her
and sleeping with you,

she's going to figure it out.

She won't.
She will.

And then that's it for my career
and your marriage.

We're gonna end up with nothing.

I know it's scary, but that's
a risk we've gotta take.

It's the only way for us
to be together.

Sebastien...

I hope that's not true,

became your plan is terrible.

I'm not going through with it.

A reservation for two, please.

Oh, and can we have
the corner booth?

Perfect. See you at 8:00.

[ Beep ]

Oh, hey! I didn't know
you were there.

I'm working.

Genevieve's going to a gala,

so she needs me to buy her
something classy.

Well, I'm sure you'll find
something.

Look...I'm sorry I tried
to get you kicked out.

I don't wanna fight anymore.

Is that why
you're treating me to dinner?

Oh. You overheard
my phone call.

Actually, I'm taking Genevieve
to her favorite restaurant.

I sorta owe her.

Because you've been
such a raging beeyotch?

Yeah.
I've been a beeyotch.

Anyway, she always orders
the tasting menu,

so don't wait up.

Wait. Whoa.

You're gonna be gone all night?
Yeah. Sorry.

I hate to leave you all alone
in this big, empty house.

I hope you don't mind
holding down the fort?

Don't worry. I'm sure
I'll find something to do.

[ Water dropping, door opens ]

Mrs. Powell.
What are you doing back?

Let's be honest.
I'm desperate.

You're desperate.

But there's one thing that
can fix both our problems.

I'm sorry?
I'm making a donation to this department.

You can hire additional help,

fix...plumbing issues.

Or you can use it
at your discretion.

Mrs. Powell,
I can't accept a bribe.

[ Water drops ]

[ Sighs ]

But how much money
are we talking about?

[ Pen clicks ]
Tell you what.

I'll write the first number,

then you tell me how many zeroes
to add after it.

And all you have to do
is move my application

from the bottom to the top.

Katy?

Katy?
I brought you a present.

Do you know what this is?

Mango lollipop.

I hope you like it.

It was my favorite when I was
growing up in México.

You had these before?

Mm-hmm. I love them.

But they don't have these
in Argentina.

You grew up in México,
didn't you, Katy?

Mm.
_

_

I have something for you, too.

Oh? [ Chuckles ]

Close your eyes.
[ Giggles ]

I'm so excited.

I can't wait to see
what it is. [ Giggles ]

Okay. Open them.

Dios mío.
Do you like it?

This is Blanca's necklace.

Where did you find it?

On the floor, in the hallway.

But she loves this necklace.

Why would she have
left it behind?

Come on! [ Grunts ]
[ Rope snaps ]

[ Tray clatters ]

[ Muffled screaming ]

Zoila?
[ Door closes ]

Feeling any better?

Huh? Oh. Yes.

Sorry to cut dinner short.
Darn pregnancy.

Oh. I just wanna see
what Reina's up to.

You're so skeptical of her,
but she's a good person, Zoila.

[ Gasps ] Aah!
Who are you?

Genevieve Delatour.
You're in my house.

No, no.
This is Reina's house.

Of course it is.

Pink champagne!

The only thing better than...
regular champagne.

Hi, Reina.

Y-you're back early.

Reina, why is there a naked man
defiling my silk pillow?

Oh, that is my friend...

Mar-Marshall.

Are you wearing my fur?!

Well, it was a little chilly
in here.

[ Gasps ] Reina, I am shocked
by your behavior. Shocked!

Genevieve, listen --

No! I've listened enough
to you.

Honey, I'm so sorry

I didn't believe you
about your sister.

Will you forgive me,
for everything?

Only if you forgive me, too.

Of course. Now get the hell
out of my house.

I'll take that.

You set me up, didn't you?

Yeah. I guess I did.

Well, I hope you're happy,
'cause that's it.

You're never gonna see me again.

That's what you always say.

[ Gasps ] Let's go.

[ Spritzes ]

Hey, Jesse. Can we talk?

Uh-oh. What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I've got
some good news. Sort of.

In a way, it's a kinda bad news.

Marisol?

I want this to be
more than just sex, too.

I wanna see where this goes.

Good.

So you're fired.

Excuse me?

[ Sighs ]
You're an amazing maid,

and you look so cute
when you're sweeping,

with your big arms
going back and forth.

I just -- I can't.
But... [ Inhales deeply ]

at the end of the day,

I don't want to think of you
as my maid.

And I don't want you to think
of me as your boss, because...

We're more than that.
Exactly.

Okay. I quit.

Technically,
I already fired you.

[ Sighs ]
But let's just say you quit.

Mm. Mm-hmm.
That's better.

Are you okay with this?

Yeah.
I can find another job.

But before I hang up my mop,

what kind of severance
are you offering?

Well, there are
several packages.

Okay.

But the one I have in mind
for you

has some excellent benefits.

Mm.

There she is --
our newest star.

I need to talk to you.

Wait. You're not
turning us down, are you?

Actually...I am.

Okay, who got to you?
Sony? Columbia?

Whoever it is, you're making
a huge mistake.

I am not signing
with another company.

Then what is it?
It's... [ Sighs ] It's personal.

I don't wanna get into it.
I'm so sorry.

Wow. [ Huffs ]

This is a first.

But I guess I was wrong
about you.

Excuse me?

You're not a star.

Whoa. Hold on.
That's just rude.

It's the truth.

Stars aren't scared of success.

They're not always the most
talented or the most beautiful,

but they're hungry.

That's what separates them
from the nobodies.

They don't care what stands
in their way

or whose throat
they have to cut.

They will do anything
to be famous.

That's what a star is, Carmen.

But obviously, that's not you.

It is me. I'm a star.

Then prove it.

Where do I sign?

This is the last listing
of the day,

but I don't think it's right
for you.

Why not?

Needs some
minor touch-ups.

Um, painting, landscaping.

It's also Beverly Hills...
adjacent.

Oh, dear.

Well, as horrible
as that sounds,

if it is child-friendly,
I suppose I should consider it.

[ Voice echoes ] Ooh! Look at
these high ceilings!

That's a promising start.

10 bedrooms, 8 baths...

Hmm.

...with a spacious backyard,
perfect for kids.

Kid.
One kid, if we're lucky.

So what's the catch?

What do you mean?

Well, I know the neighborhood
is less than ideal,

but a house like this,
at this price?

There must be
something wrong with it.

This is why we have inspections.

No need to worry.
Mm.

Let me get the light.

[ Click ]
[ Evelyn screams ]

[ Gasping ]

Evelyn.

[ Gasps ]

Oh, my God.
