Devious Maids

Previously on "devious maids"...

Who are you?

I was working for you and your wife, peri,

but we fell in love, so we got married.

Why can't Spence remember me?

Apparently, this kind of memory loss

can happen with severe head trauma.

How could i ever forget you?

You're the best maid my wife and I ever had.

Your wife?

Hello, Rosie.

I'm right where I belong.

Carmen: I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone a kid.

So I gave my baby away.

Marisol: Well, my book came out.

And it's on the New York times best seller list.

Marisol, do you think we're getting back together?

Said you needed more time.

You said i needed more time.

I'm gonna go home to Seattle.

Zoila, it's time, huh?

Mom's crashing.

You need to tell me who to prioritize --

zoila or her baby.

That is my petition for divorce.

Adrian, I've spent my entire adult life with you,

and this ordeal has made me realize

what a terrible waste that's been.

Where is Adrian?

Adrian!

Adrian!!

¶¶

Oh, dear god.

Help!!

My maid's been murdered!

Who's going to clean all this up?

Ow!

Damn it!

What the hell's your problem now?

You stepped on me.

Please! It's your own fault! You died on my mark!

I didn't die on your mark!

Are you having fun

watching your book get made into a big studio movie?

Well, it's not... Exactly what I expected.

In the book, flora is stabbed and she falls into the pool.

Why did that change?

Peri felt like the audience was paying to see her,

so her character should discover the body.

But that's not what happened.

Take it up with the head of the studio.

I got bigger fish.

Eva: Elliott!

I can't work with her. She is completely abusive.

All I did was politely suggest she not perform the scene

like the brain-dead, no-talent pageant queen that she is.

Ladies, please.

Can we just get along for one more scene?

Oh, hi. Are you taking the dinner order?

Eva: Oh, my god!

Are you still hungry after all the scenery you just chewed?

No, no. I wrote "coming clean."

The book that this movie is based on...?

But you could still take our dinner order, right?

I'm glad you're here. I was thinking --

shouldn't I be the one who goes undercover as a maid?

Wouldn't that be better?

No. No. This story isn't about you.

It's about the maids.

It's about... Latina empowerment.

Back me up here, Eva.

Mm, I don't know.

Do all the maids have to be latina?

Seems kind of racist.

No, it isn't.

Not all maids are latina, but these maids are.

If we change the race of the murdered maid,

we can get somebody better than Eva.

Okay, that's it. I'm gone.

By the way, you are the meanest person I have ever met.

And I worked on "desperate housewives."

¶¶

Evelyn. I was in Barbados.

I just heard the tragic news.

Thank you, dear.

It's been a devastating six months.

You're such a strong woman.

I'm a survivor.

I will always survive.

You know who else survived?

Me.

Yes.

We are both survivors.

But the house was a total loss,

so thank you for your condolences.

Adrian, how are you?

Still paralyzed.

But the doctors are optimistic.

And he did feel a tingle in his toes today,

so our hopes are high.

Oh, you are a Saint for taking such good care of your husband.

If you need anything, please don't hesitate.

Well, you're very popular at the club.

If I'd perished in the explosion,

they would have renamed the golf course after you.

I'm sorry.

I don't say it enough,

but I appreciate everything you've done for me.

I adore you, my love.

And I, you.

Mrs. Genevieve, you have a visitor!

Zoila!

Oh, I'm so happy you're back!

I was only in New York for a little while.

Yes, but this is really the first time we've seen each other

since that sad, sad day at the hospital.

Right.

I hope visiting Valentina and remi made you feel better.

Um...Sure. A little.

But how is this working out?

Isn't Rosie the best maid?

Oh, yes, she is.

And Mrs. Genevieve is the nicest boss I ever had.

Rosie, would you be a dear and go make us some lunch?

Mm-hmm.

I hate her.

What?

No one hates Rosie.

Maybe not the deaf.

They don't have to hear her awful whine.

Rosie doesn't whine.

"Mrs. genevieeevve, you have a visitorrr."

Stop!

She'll hear you.

Have I mentioned how happy I am that you're back?

That's the thing. I'm -- I'm not really back.

Oh. Do you need more time?

No. That's not it.

Well, then, what's wrong?

I...

Don't feel good about taking the job from Rosie.

I do! I feel great about it!

But she's living here with her son.

I can't just throw her out on the street.

And i-i just talked to Marisol,

and she has a lead on a job for me.

That's ridiculous.

I'll just have two maids.

What?

You can't do that.

Of course I can. I'm rich.

Oh, I am so happy you're here!

It's gonna be just like before.

Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Hudson.

Ah, "Peter," please.

It's nice to finally meet the woman behind our next big hit.

Actually, that's why I'm here.

I have a few concerns.

Well, shoot. Your concerns are my concerns.

Oh. Then why does it seem like you're about to leave?

Well, unfortunately, i have another meeting in...

Three minutes.

Look, I'm the first to admit

I don't know much about how Hollywood works.

W-- i wasn't finished.

But when I let your studio option my book,

I was promised that the movie would stay true to my vision.

I-- still...Not finished.

Peri Westmore is twisting this movie

into something I hate,

and I need you to do something about it.

Well, don't you have anything to say for yourself?

Oh, I can talk now. Good.

Why don't we have dinner tonight -- talk about it?

Are you asking me out on a date?

We obviously have a lot to discuss.

Wouldn't it be nicer to do it over good food and wine?

I shouldn't have to go out on a date

to have my concerns addressed.

It's wildly inappropriate.

That's too bad.

This was the best three minutes of my day.

Now, peri, after your big win

at the America's choice awards,

I'm hearing people say "Oscar."

I'm just trying to enjoy the moment --

shooting a new movie, enjoying my family.

I'm so blessed.

Now, I have to ask you something a little touchy.

Uh-oh.

A few years ago, you all went through a very public divorce,

but now you're back together.

Spence had an affair with our maid.

It wasn't just an affair.

You actually married your maid.

I guess I did.

You don't remember?

Six months ago, Spence suffered a traumatic brain injury.

He almost died.

But that tragic event brought us back together.
