SUPERMARKET SECRETS | While Spence (Grant Show) recovers from his heart attack, he uses his free time to get sexty with Rosie (Dania Ramirez). Rosie texts Spence about the make believe lingerie she’s wearing while shopping for groceries at the market. “I’m in a red push-up bra and panties,” she texts him. Marisol (Ana Ortiz) meets up with Rosie at the market and is approached by a young woman claiming to be Marisol’s former English Lit student. Is Marisol a college professor and has her cover been blown? She tells the woman that she is mistaken, but Rosie still finds the encounter a bit mysterious and has her interest piqued.
TRUE LIES | Rosie’s curiosity leads her to the web we she does a quick search on Marisol Suarez which leads her to shocking results that confirm that Marisol is an award-winning English professor. Rosie goes to confront her and Marisol reveals to her that she’s working undercover as a maid to figure out who killed Flora (Paula Garces) and that the boy who was arrested is her son. Rosie is very upset that Marisol lied to all of them and storms out of the house, but not before accidentally leaving her cell phone behind.
AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER | Marisol finds the leverage she needs to keep Rosie’s mouth shut about the truth and heads over to the Westmore’s to talk it out with Rosie. Marisol tells Rosie that she knows that Rosie has been sleeping with her boss and then waves Rosie’s cell phone containing her dirty texts in front of her face. Zoila (Judy Reyes) and Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez) arrive at the house after Rosie told them to meet her there in hopes to reveal Marisol’s true identity, but then decides against it after Marisol’s counter-threat.
FAMILY MATTERS | Rosie receives a letter from her son Miguel and comes to the realization that mothers would do anything for their children. She meets up with Marisol and tells her that she understands why she’s doing what she’s doing and that they both will do anything and everything to protect their sons. And now that Rosie knows the truth, now she can help Marisol which lands Rosie on the Powell’s front door, “I heard you were looking for a new maid?”
LOL
• With Marisol banned from the Powell house, a new and much older maid has taken her place. “Isn’t she precious?” Evelyn (Rebecca Wisocky) asks Olivia (Valerie Mahaffey). “Like a vase from the Ming Dynasty. The years have cracked the surface, but the fragile beauty still remains.” It was funny watching the new maid, Dong Mei, try to serve the two of them tea while trying to keep her hands steady and Olivia speaking Cantonese to her. And after hearing that her employer’s previous maid was murdered, she storms away. “I no work in murder house!” 15
• Evelyn calls Olivia while crying hysterically over the phone. Olivia races to Evelyn’s side to find out that she was called just because her vacuum wasn’t functioning properly. “My life sucks… but my vacuum doesn’t.”
OMG
• When Valentina (Edy Ganem) does Remi’s (Drew Van Acker) laundry, she mistakens a ziploc bag of his drugs as laundry detergent. Not only did that not do anything for the clothes, but she literally washed away $6k worth of cocaine.
OMFG
• We were just as curious as Adrian Powell (Tom Irwin) to find out not only who she was — which we later found out was the mother of the suspected murderer of Flora — but what she did for a living. When Rosie’s internet search turned up page after page of all the accolades Marisol got, we were shocked that Marisol was a highly esteemed professor.
• We’ve seen it in the commercials — the normally bubbly and cheery Rosie shouting at Marisol, “I HATE YOU!” It made us anxious to see the episode to find out just what brought this out of her. Turns out that while Rosie was threatening to reveal Marisol’s secret of being a professor looking to exonerate her son and posing as a maid, Marisol also had some dirt on Rosie. She knew of Rosie’s affair she was having with Spence Westmore. “You don’t tell my secret,” she tells Rosie, “I won’t tell yours.”
