"Previously on "Devious Maids"..." "Are you having fun watching your book get made into a movie?" "It's not what I expected." "Let me introduce you to the gang." "Hugh Metzger, I'm obsessed with your films." "The truth is I didn't want to get your hopes up." " About what?" " About your movie" " being back in production." " I thought it was dead." "Now it's not." "Hugh Metzger wants to direct." "We want you to write it." "Oh, you're the reverend?" "Hello." "You seem so..." "happy serving others." "Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?" "Zoila, this is my mother." "I like her, too." "But not for you." "I have other plans for you, Kyle." "I find you intriguing." "You only asked me out to make Evelyn jealous." "It seems we have a lot in common." "I never should have broken up with you." "Give me another chance, and I will make it up to you." "One thing." "Let's not tell my mother." "Deal." "I brought you a latte..." "on the house." "That barista's got a serious crush on you." "And every time I lead him on, I get a free coffee." "I know you're my mother now." "Nothing's changed." "You don't want to be my mother?" "I'm sorry, Danni, but I can't be that for you." "Ready to go to the airport?" "Just telling my mom I'm coming home." "Who's that?" "Fabian, my hairdresser." "You should read this." "I tried to read it." " I found it kind of boring." " You know what?" "There's a reason you didn't understand it." "The ideas in that book are new... and you're old." "There's this bad man named Ben." "He's involved with something" " called The Circle." " Hold on." "Fabian was always trying to get me to read this." "It sounds like a cult." "We weren't sure you could be trusted anymore." "W-W-We?" "Mother knows about this?" "She's very unhappy with you." "And you know how Mother gets." "Mm." "Mm." "These sheets are heaven." "It's nice staying at your place... for a change." "Well, don't get used to it." "My mother comes home from her trip today." "Kyle... why are we still keeping this from her?" "Because keeping a secret is sexy." "Don't you think?" "I just hate lying to her." "She's my friend, and I think she'd be really happy for us." "Yeah, but I don't want to share you." "Not yet." "Kyle?" "I'm home." " Ohh!" " She's back early." "Hide." "Hide?" "We will tell her eventually, but not like this." "Why don't you just lock the door?" "'Cause I never lock the door." " She'll know something's up." " You still asleep?" "Fine." "Where's the closet?" "I don't have a closet." "I have an armoire." "Here." "Go out the window." "Are you kidding?" "We're on the second floor." "There's a ledge." "Just go out there for a minute, and I'll get rid of her." "Come on." "Go." " Kyle, honey." " Kyle." "Kyle." " Kyle." " Quick, go, go, go!" "This is crazy." "Aah!" "It's not that high." "Mother." "Hey." "Welcome home." "We need to talk about Ben." "Tell me everything that happened." "Yeah." "Absolutely." "But first, tell me..." "how was your trip?" "How was that?" "Fine." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "I got to put some clothes on." "I'll be downstairs in a sec." "Okay." "All right." "Okay." "Zoila!" "You okay?" "I'm fine." "I'm so sorry." "I'll call you later." "Buenos días." "Carmen, I've been thinking." "I'm giving you the day off tomorrow." "What?" "Why?" "Because it's your birthday." "No!" "I mean, no." "You're confused." "My birthday's not tomorrow." "Well, of course it is." "I wrote it in my calendar last year after you struck me with a Dustbuster for not remembering." "Well, I'm not celebrating this year." "Why not?" "Is there something different about this birthday?" "Are you turning 40?" "Don't say the "F" word!" "Oh, come on." "40's not so bad." "I'm 37." "And sticking." "Now drop it." "Is this because Danni's gone?" "Now that you're facing a milestone, taking stock in your life, you're realizing that you let your only real accomplishment walk out the door?" "No." "That's not it." "Danni leaving was a relief." "I never wanted to be a mom." "Now I can focus on being me..." "Carmen Luna." "Carmen." "The phone." "Yeah, yeah." "Powell residence." "Hey, I was trying to reach Daniela Mercado." "Oh, she's not in." "Okay, you think I can leave a message?" "I tried her cell, but I just can't get her." "Probably because she's out of town." "Oh." "Okay." "Um, I guess she'll just miss this audition." "Wait, what?" "What audition?" "Um, it's tomorrow." "We're trying out dancers for a new B.T. Chill video." "B.T. Chill?" "The guy with the really high voice and the really low pants?" "He's huge." "Yep." "So I guess it's her loss." "No, no, no, no." "Don't hang up." "Give me the details." "Wait, I thought you just said she was out of town." "I forgot she's coming back today." "So tell me where it is, and Daniela will be there." "Gail." "How nice to see you." "Evelyn, I was just getting my, um, eyebrows waxed." "I have an eyebrow there, too." "You know, I think the last time I saw you, you were getting dragged out of the country club kicking and screaming." "I really hope I didn't exacerbate the situation by calling you a monster." "No." "I understand." "You can't help your behavior." "You're like a feral cat who's also drunk." "Wow, you seem to be in an unusually good mood." "I am." "I have a date." "That's why I'm here getting gussied up." "Who's the lucky guy?" "Reverend James Hamilton from the Hamilton House charity." " He's very handsome." " I know." "Figure if I'm gonna get back on the horse, it might as well be a..." "Big black stallion?" "Gail." "Being around you makes me seem racially sensitive." "Though I have to say," "I can't really picture you with a preacher." "I mean, do they even make money?" "Does it matter?" "It's just a date." "I don't have to marry the man." "So, is, um... is Adrian seeing other people, too?" "I don't know and I don't care." "Adrian is free to do anything or anyone he pleases." "Hmm." "Okay, well, have fun." "I can't believe I'm writing a film being directed by the Hugh Metzger!" "I'm gonna learn so much from you." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "I'm impressed with you, too." "It's amazing how quickly you wrote that outline." "I lived it." "And the other script got so much wrong," "I was bursting at the seams to tell the story my way." "Well, I-I loved what you did with it." "Thank you." "So, now we can talk about what we need to change." "Oh, okay." "Okay." "I look forward to hearing your thoughts." "Okay." "Trey, give her my thoughts." "Well, first off, Hugh had the great idea to change the setting to Miami." "Yeah, Beverly Hills is just a little too on-the-nose." "But Beverly Hills is such a good backdrop for the themes of class disparity." "Don't you think?" "Yeah, let's, uh..." "Let's put a pin in that, okay?" "Next, it'd be great if the maids could be sexier." "Show some skin." "Yeah, what if there's, like, a room where they all change before they go to work every day?" "Like, a maids' locker room." "Maids' locker room." "Great idea, Hugh." "Okay, that was my idea, and I wasn't being serious, 'cause it's not a thing." "Ah, well, let's..." "Let's put a pin in that, too." "Beginning to think "putting a pin in it"" "means you're just gonna change it later." "Wow, you're right." "You are learning a lot from me." "Westmore." "Oh." "Uh, Kill Face." "Heard you were back from the hospital." "We missed you at play rehearsal." "That's still happening?" "Of course it is." "This Friday." "If you need more time to prepare, we can run lines in the shower." "No, I'm good." "And don't worry." "Your family's gonna love it." "My family?" "Didn't you invite them?" "Friday's family day." "We do a play every year for the kids." "We just never had a star like you before." "Oh, thanks." "But do you really think prison is the best place for children?" "Listen to me." "I've been in here a long time." "You get a chance to hug your family, you take it." "Oh, I hadn't thought of that." "I mean, who knows?" "You may never see them again... especially if you're not off book by Friday." "Oh!" "Well, hello there." "You must be the haircut guy." "Come on in." "So, who referred you to me?" "I...really must thank them." "Oh." "I don't need a haircut." "You don't?" "But I got a text asking for an at-home appointment." "That was from me." "Wait." "Aren't you Genevieve Delatour's maid?" "Did she put you up to this?" "Is that why you tricked me into coming here?" "I'll get back to work." "Hold on." "Stay." "I want a witness for this." "Please, Fabian." "Mrs. Genevieve doesn't even know I called you." "Well, she really hurt me." "Do you know she thought I was gay?" "Can you believe that?" "Shocking." "Excuse me." "I picked up the book you gave Mrs. Genevieve about The Circle, and I thought it was really interesting." "Mm-hmm." "Fabian, I am talking to you." "What?" "Oh." "Yes." "The book." "I want to know more about The Circle." "Can I join?" "You?" "No." "No, no, no, no, no." "Why not?" "Sweetheart, our members are very chichi... politicians, celebs." "I mean, for God's sakes..." "Peri Westmore was in The Circle." "She was?" "The point is, you don't choose us." "We choose you." "And let's be honest, no one is ever going to choose you." "See ya." "Did you hear that?" "Peri was in The Circle." "Maybe she wanted out, and that's why they killed her." "I just wish I could get inside, but they only want rich people." "So what are you gonna do now?" "I don't have a choice." "I got to get Mrs. Genevieve to join the cult." "Ouch!" "You must really like this guy to climb out of a window for him." "I won't even drive to the Valley for a guy, no matter how hot he is." "I think it's weird that Kyle won't tell his mother he's seeing you." "I know, but we're still in the," ""He's so hot I don't want to question it," phase of our relationship." "You know the mom." "Why don't you just talk to her yourself?" "Honestly, I think she'd be fine with it, but Kyle asked me not to tell her." "Maybe she can find out by accident." "You know, that's not the worst idea." "Aw." "I always like it when I don't have the worst idea." "Here's a decaf, triple-shot, skinny latte for Carmen and whatever these are for you guys." "Mmm!" "They always get my order wrong." "What is so hard about black?" "Why do we even come to this place?" "Because that barista thinks I'm hot, and I never have to pay for my drinks." "But we do." "So, 'Manita, what do you want to do for your big birthday tomorrow?" "Shh!" "It's not my birthday." "Aw, is someone upset about turning 40?" "Ow!" "Ohh!" "I'm not turning the "F" word." "Sweetie, you've turned 37 for the last three years in a row." "You're 40!" "We should celebrate!" "I can't." "I have an audition for a B.T. Chill music video." "How'd you snag that?" "Well, technically, Danni got the audition, but she's not around, so I'm gonna go in as her." "You're stealing your own daughter's audition?" "That is not right." "It's what Daniela would have wanted." "She's in Puerto Rico, not heaven." "Besides, they're expecting a 20-year-old." "What do you think they'll say when they see you looking all... not 20?" "People think I'm in my 20s all the time, honey." "Trust me." "I still got it." "Here you go, ladies." "Separate checks." "Oh." "Wait." "I always get mine free." "Sorry, Carmen." "Not today." "Ooh!" "Maybe you don't still got it." "Adrian's hidden all the money." "He retained every divorce attorney in this town." "He won't even let me into my own home." "Hmm." "Oh, you poor thing." "You don't want to listen to me complain about my soon-to-be ex-husband." "Oh, no, I don't mind." "I'm actually planning a sermon on the devil." "This is really good material." "I didn't realize ministers were allowed to have a sense of humor." "Well, we're not, so please don't tell the other ministers." "James, I must say... this date is going better than I hoped." "Oh, you thought I'd be a real dud, huh?" "I was afraid you might be a bit of a... goody-goody." "Well, trust me, Evelyn." "I'm no saint." "Reverend." "Oh, hello, Laverne." "I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for my family." "The money you raised for Timmy's surgery was a Godsend." "You should really thank Dr. Levin." "I'm so glad he and I stayed in touch after we volunteered in Africa." "Hey, Timmy." "How you doing, buddy?" "My doctor says soon I'll be running and playing just like the other boys." "You must be a very special woman to be with the reverend." "Best man in the entire world." "Yes." "I am starting to see that." "So, you haven't said anything about your meeting with Hugh and Trey." "It doesn't feel right to use our relationship to talk about them." "They said you were very difficult and not collaborative." "They're morons." "That's better." "And their ideas stink." "I don't even know who Trey is." "Some guy who gets paid to sit there and agree?" "In Hollywood, they call that a producing partner." "They were so critical." "I felt like I was under attack." "But that's the process." "Just try not to take it so personally." "I poured my heart and soul into that book." "Maybe you're too close to it." "Those guys are critiquing the material." " They're not critiquing you." " All right, okay." "Look, they just want to feel like they're being heard." "Don't say "no" to their notes." "Just try something like, "Well, that's interesting." "Let me think about it."" "Then can I ignore them and do whatever I want?" "How about if you get a note that's particularly terrible, you bring it to me." "I'll back you up." "Mm, dating the head of the studio has its perks." "Hmm, speaking of which," "I've got that shareholder meeting in New York this week." "Why don't we make the most of the time we have left?" "I love that idea." "You see?" "I am collaborative as hell." "Mm." "Listen, Rosie," "I want you and the boys to come to family day on Friday." "Oh, Miguel has school, but I can bring Tucker." "Ah, that would be great." "I would love to see him." "Spence, did you know Peri was in a cult?" " You're kidding." " Mnhmnh." "It turns out The Circle is a cult, and Peri was in it." "Rosie, I thought you were gonna stop looking into Peri's murder." "These people are dangerous." "I love you, Spence." "No matter how risky it is, I can't just give up on you." "But I wish you would." "Just promise me You won't do anything crazy like try to join this cult." "We..." "Um, I have to go, but I promise" "I will not join the cult, mm-hmm." "Rosie, I'm off to the club." "Oh." "Really?" "You're going out with your hair looking like that?" "What's wrong with my hair?" "Mm... nothing, but..." "But what?" "It just hasn't looked as good since you stopped seeing Fabian." "What are you talking about?" "My hair looks perfect." "I just think Fabian made it look extra special." "He did give an amazing blowout." "But he insulted me." "Besides, he's involved with that awful cult." "It doesn't seem that bad." "And cults are a great place to meet new people, maybe a new man, huh?" "Rosie, what's going on?" "Is this about Peri's murder again?" "I think the cult had something to do with it, but The Circle doesn't want me, because I'm not rich... like you are." "You mean you want me to join the cult?" "I know it might seem dangerous, and it's a lot to ask." "Well, why didn't you just say so?" " I'll join." " You will?" "Well, don't look so shocked." "I've belonged to a cult before." "In my defense, it was the '80s, and I thought it was an exercise class." "I must say I was surprised when you invited me over." "Why?" "We've been getting to know each other lately." "We're... buds." "Buds." "I like the sound of that." "Truthfully, I don't have many female friends or male friends." "Please." "Aren't you friends with all those rich people at the club?" "Oh, they're mostly acquaintances." "Sometimes they act like friends when they need a favor." "You need a favor." "No!" "Okay, yes." "I need you to invite Frances to lunch and then cancel at the last minute." "And why would I do that?" "Because I need her to come home unexpectedly and find me in bed with her son." "Oh, how deliciously kinky." "This is why you don't have friends." "Look, I'm tired of keeping my relationship a secret, but I can't tell Frances directly, so..." "You want her to catch you in flagrante delicto!" "I'm in." "I wouldn't go through all the trouble, but Kyle is weird about his mother, almost like he's scared of her." "W-Why in the world would anyone be scared of Frances?" "Kyle is my actual son, but everyone in The Circle is my child." "And when I ask one of my children to handle a situation," "I expect it to be handled." "I'm sorry, Mother." "Someone's going around asking about Peri's murder." "Rosie." "And if she figures out the truth, we're all in danger..." "our entire family." " I'll take care of it." " Good." "And, Ben, don't disappoint your mother again." "Okay, name." "Daniela Mercado." "This says your name is Carmen Luna." "Oh." "That's just my stage name." "Okay, whatever your name is," "I don't think you're exactly what we are looking for." "You're not looking for hot, sexy dancers?" "We are looking for Girls who are a little more... born in the last two decades." "Let me tell you something." "Today is not the day to tell me that I'm too old!" "I came here to dance, and I'm going to dance!" "Okay." "Okay." "You can warm up over there." "Aw, I didn't know they were casting the mom in this video." "I'm so happy we put all that ugliness behind us." "Me too." "I hate fighting with you." "I just wish I'd read that book you gave me sooner." "It's really changed my whole perspective." "Well, hallelu, she's seen the light." "So, you'll introduce me to your friends in The Circle?" "Not so fast." "There's a process." "If you're truly committed." "Of course I am." "Whatever it takes." "What's all this?" "Well, before anybody joins The Circle, we have to analyze their commitment." "Hold these." "Is this gonna hurt?" "No." "No." "I'm just gonna ask some questions about your life, and the machine tells me whether you answer honestly." "You don't have to worry about that." "I'm an open book." "Good." "Let's start with your age." " Hmm?" " Your age?" "Oh." "35." "45." "Genevieve, I thought you were serious about this." "55?" "Wait." "Okay." "It starts with... a six." "I'll take that." "Now, let's move on to something easier." "Oh, could we?" "That would be wonderful." "How much do you weigh?" "I'm so sorry, Frances." "I have to cancel our lunch last minute." "You should go on home." "We'll do it another time." "Bye, now." "Adrian, how do you feel about the placement of these sofas?" "Oh, Gail, I trust your judgment." "You have a wonderful eye." "I have other wonderful things, too." "Don't you think?" "Beg your pardon?" "Well, you said I have a wonderful eye." "I've also heard I have a wonderful... butt." "I'm sorry." "I just came in for a Bourbon." "Adrian, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" "You're friends with Evelyn." "Doesn't this seem... inappropriate?" "Evelyn's not in the picture anymore." "There's no reason to deny the deep sexual tension that's always been between us." "Is it possible you're unclear on the meaning of sexual tension?" "Don't act like you haven't thought about it." "I've caught you staring at my breasts before." "You took them out at a dinner party." " I was caught by surprise." " Come on, Adrian." "You're a sexual deviant, and I am game for anything." "And I do mean anything." "G-Gail, I'm flattered, but I'm married." "Now, this situation with Evelyn is only temporary." "I know she'll come back to me." "Hmm." "I wouldn't be so sure." "Haven't you heard?" "Evelyn is seeing someone." "She's been dating James Hamilton." " Reverend Hamilton?" " Mmhmm." "They met at the gala, and things have been hot and heavy ever since." "Well, you give it some thought, and remember, my door is always open... if you know what I mean." "It's impossible not to." "Before we start, I want to apologize for yesterday." "I got defensive, but I know none of this is personal." "Great, because we need to talk about the big note." " I'm ready." "Fire away." " Okay." "The character of Maria, the one pretending to be a maid..." " She's really, um..." " Unlikeable." "Yeah." "Um, this is a bit awkward, but the character of Maria is based on me." "Oh, no, of course." "But the way she's written..." "I mean, she's just no fun." "I mean, who'd want to hang out with that gal?" "Yeah, you know the one I really like... her friend... the hot one who's trying to be a singer." " Mm, Carmelita." " Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, I want to do tequila shots with her." "But it's not right for Maria." "She's trying to save her son." "Yeah, about that..." "I don't buy it." "But it happened." "Going undercover, putting herself at risk, lying to her friends..." "She seems crazy." "Yeah, no, a woman doesn't do that." "Now, look, I got three ex-wives and a daughter." "I know women." "So, you should see that Maria is strong and determined." "If she were a man, You would find that admirable." "You're absolutely right." "Maria should be a man." "Genius!" "What?" "No." "Not genius!" "Oh, now it makes sense." " I totally buy that coming from a man." " Mmhmm." "You're saying that a man goes undercover as a maid?" "He pretends to be a woman." " Like Mrs. Doubtfire." " Yes!" "Oh!" "Will Ferrell would be perfect!" "Will Ferrell as Maria?" "!" "What do you think?" "I'm hungry." "Let's go grab a bite somewhere." "No." "Let's stay in bed and cuddle." "Mm." "Did you hear that?" " Kyle, you upstairs?" " Oh, God, not again." "Oh, shoot." "She's back." "I guess she's gonna find out about us." "Okay, you got to go out the window." "No." "I'm not going anywhere!" "Oh, yes, you are." "No!" "You are so strong!" "Ohh!" "Everything okay up here?" "Hello, Frances." "What's going on?" "I guess the cat's out of the bag." "Kyle and I are dating again." "I'm so sorry, Mother." "Stop." "There's no need to apologize." "We're all adults here, right, Frances?" "Get out of my house." "Excuse me?" "I said get out!" "You are no longer welcome in this house." "Carmen Luna." "Lucy Nestor." "I'm dancing against her?" "Try and keep up." "Thank you." "Lucy... you can go." "Carmen... stay." "We'd like to see more." "Yes!" "Yes!" "You take that, you little hater!" "You can kiss my..." "Aah!" "Okay, next two dancers." "Carmen, clear the stage." "Wait a minute." "Did you just throw your back out?" "No, no, I'm fine." "I'm just resting." "On second thought, Carmen, I think we've seen enough." "There." "Oh, Rosie, it was torture." "I'm so sorry." "What did Fabian do to you?" "He asked me deeply personal questions." "And he wouldn't quit until he broke me." "I am broken." "What were the questions?" "My age, my weight, which parts of me are real and which are fake." "So he wanted to know your secrets." "He even made me tell him every sordid detail of my sexual history." "Of course, That part I rather enjoyed." "Does everyone have to answer these questions before they get into The Circle?" "That's what he said." "It's part of the initiation." "So Peri must have done it, too." "If she did, there'll be a recording." "He filmed the whole thing." "I've got to find that video." "If Peri had a secret, maybe it got her killed." "Are you actually defending your mother?" "We caught her off-guard." "She doesn't like surprises." "She's crazy!" "One minute, I'm her best friend." "The next minute, she's kicking me out." "She's not mad at you." "She's mad at me." "She thinks if I'm dating someone, I'll be distracted." "From what?" "You're upset." "Let me pour you a drink." "You know what?" "I think your mother's jealous." "She's afraid I'm gonna take away her little boy." "She's just overly protective." "So tell her to back off." "We just need to give her some more time, okay?" "She'll come around." "I'm not gonna wait for her to come around." "Zoila, please." "Kyle, you are a grown man." "If you can't stand up to your mother, then this is over." "Oh, Evelyn, can you give me a hand?" "I'm sorry." "I'm very busy learning how to be a better, more considerate person." "Well, so far, so good." "Are you reading the Bible?" "I'm studying up for my next date with James." "I'd like to strike the right balance of sexy but pious." "Oh!" "You really like this guy." "I'm just as surprised as you are." "Here I was thinking I was too good for him." "It turns out it's just the opposite." "What happened?" "He's just... kind." "He wants to make the world better." "Sounds like a breath of fresh air after Adrian." "Exactly." "Now, if you'll excuse me," "I need to revamp my entire personality." "All right, take this to the truck and ask Rafael to help with the rest." "Are you James Hamilton?" "I am." "Are you here to volunteer?" "No, not likely." "I heard about the work you do, and I wanted to see it for myself." "Well, I'm always proud to tell people about Hamilton House." "Well, over the years, we've helped thousands of children who don't have..." "You don't have to sell me, Rev." "I've already written you a check." "Well, that was easy." "Wow." "That's, um..." "Impressive?" "Of course, there are strings attached." "Strings?" "Yes." "Perhaps I should introduce myself." " I'm Adrian Powell." " Oh." "I'm giving you this donation on one condition..." "You stay away from my wife." " Mr. Powell..." " Think of all the good you could do with it." "You can't possibly choose Evelyn over the needs of the poor, sweet children." "Can you?" "Go on, take it." "Really, it's the Christian thing to do." "I am so sorry to get you involved like this." "I told you I have your back." "Yeah, but you shouldn't have to fight your girlfriend's battles." "I'm not here because you're my girlfriend." "I'm here because you're a writer that I believe in." "Okay?" "Ah, if you get called into the big boss' office, there better be Scotch and hookers." "I'm just kidding." "I hate Scotch." "Well, I thought we should all get on the same page about the script." "Couldn't agree more." "Me too." "First off, Maria won't be a man." "It..." "It changes the tone of the whole piece." "And you think people will buy it if it's a woman?" "I mean, that, uh, Marisol is nuts." "I'm Marisol." "The character is Maria." "Oh." "I think Maria and Marisol are both layered and interesting." "Fine, just make sure you cast someone thin." "Yeah, not one of those fat-tresses that are all the rage right now." "Oh, my God, that... is fine." "You know, um, as long as we're being candid and everything," "I've got to tell you that, um," "I'm not feeling great about your choice of writer." "We tried this movie with a different writer, and it didn't work." "We brought Marisol in to get it right." "Well, be that as it may, I've made up my mind." "So it's either her or me." "Oh, well, fine." "We'll get another director." "Maybe even a woman." "Come on." "Hugh's made millions for the studio." "He has two Oscars." "I don't think he's the one who's off the project." "Peter?" "Marisol..." "look, I'm sorry." "Oh... no." "I get it." "Excuse me." "Genevieve Delatour?" "All her deepest and darkest." "I thought she couldn't be recruited." "Well done." "I need to speak to you, Mother." "Alone." "Ooh, Glasses is in a mood." "Kyle, I don't want to fight." "My whole life, I have never said no to you, but Zoila makes me happy." "Why can't I be with her?" "Zoila is a discontent." "You've already changed under her influence." "You're afraid of her." "You think that she'll lure me away from you and The Circle." "That relationship is over, and so is this conversation." "Understood?" "Go to hell, Mother." "Oh, my God." "Carmen, are you okay?" "I'll be fine." "Ow." "Oh, what can I get you?" "A decaf latte would be nice." "Of course." "That's $5.95." "Oh, God." "Um..." "Why are you crying?" "My life is a total mess." "No." "No, it's not." "I don't have a career or a husband." "And I was supposed to be a star, you know?" "I mean, that's why I gave up Danni, you know?" " Danni?" " I've wasted my whole life, and I can't get free coffee because I'm 40, and even you don't think I'm hot anymore!" "Ow!" "Carmen." "Carmen, look at me." "Look, you see that?" "The boss installed it last week to make sure we don't give stuff away." "Really?" "If it were up to me, you'd always get free coffee and free scones and muffins." "So you still think I'm hot?" "Carmen, I think you're the most beautiful woman in the whole world." "I can't believe that just happened." "Me, neither." "Ohh, hey, kid." "Did you guys like the play?" "Oh, yes, this is a very talented prison." "I know." "It's amazing." "And can you believe Kill Face built all those sets himself?" "Daddy, when are you coming home?" "I don't know, but it's..." "it's gonna be a while." "But hopefully soon." "Hey." "I saw some cupcakes on the snack table." "Go get us one." "You really shouldn't get his hopes up like that." "I'm not." "I'm still going to get you out of here." "In fact, I think Peri had a big secret, and that's why..." "Rosie, can we please not talk about Peri?" "I just want to enjoy my time here with you and Tucker, okay?" "Okay, I'm..." "I'm sorry." "You're right." "I've missed you so much." "Where's our cupcake?" "They're all out." "Ah." "I wish Daddy could come home with us." "I'm working on it, chiquito." "It's okay." "Close your eyes." "We'll be home soon, huh?" "Shouldn't you be on your way to New York?" "I was headed to the airport and I made the driver stop." "Look, I feel awful about what happened." "You humiliated me in front of those horrible men." "I'm so sorry." "But how could I tell the shareholders that I chose a novice screenwriter over Hugh Metzger?" "I get that." "I do." "But you said that you had my back." "What can I do to make things better?" "I don't want to leave with this unresolved." "Then stay." "We're not gonna resolve this in the two minutes while your car waits outside." "Can't you go tomorrow?" "It's work." "And work takes priority." "I'm starting to get that." "Don't be that way." "You know what?" "It's good that you're going." "I need some time." "What does that mean for us?" "I don't know." "Your driver's waiting." "Thank you, my child." "Have a blessed evening." "Something wrong, James?" "I've been thinking." "Me too." "I believe I'm going to have the soup tonight." "It reminds me of the soup kitchen where I volunteer when I'm not donating blood or reading to the blind." "We need to talk." "Oh, God." "Gosh..." "I mean..." "Sorry." " Evelyn." " It's all right." "I know what "We need to talk" means." " You do?" " You don't need to pretend." "You're a better person than I am." "We both know it." "If I were you, I wouldn't want to be with me, either." "Look, hold on." "It's just..." "Your husband came by." "He gave me this so I'd stop seeing you." "Ohh!" "Now, that's a lot of zeros." "I could do some real good with it." "Of course you could." "I can't accept it." "What?" "It wasn't his money to give." "He took it from you." "Now I'm giving it back." "I-I don't know what to say." "Just use that money to hire the best divorce attorney you can find and get the hell away from that man for good." "So you're not breaking up with me?" "My heart can't be bought." "But lying to my husband..." "Isn't that a tad bit immoral?" "Like I said before," "I'm no saint." "I did it." "I broke up with my mother." " What?" " Okay, yeah," "I know how that sounds, but I stood up to her, just like you said." "Good for you." "So can I stay here?" "With me?" "I don't have anywhere else to go." "Rosie, thank God." "Are you okay?" "Where's Tucker?" "We're both fine." "Tucker's next door." "They want to keep us overnight for observation." "I called Shannon." "She's on her way." "Do you want me to tell Marisol and the girls?" "No, I don't want to worry them." "I just called the house so you and Shannon would know." "I-I can't believe this happened." "Who hit you?" "I didn't see." "It was a hit-and-run." "But, Jesse, I don't think it was an accident." "Oh, my God." "Someone hit you on purpose?" "It was a warning from The Circle." "They want me to stop looking into Peri's murder." "I must be getting close." "Is everything all right, Mother?" "Kyle and I had an argument." "Well, maybe this will make you happy." "I don't think Rosie's gonna be asking any more questions." "I heard you ran her off the road." "Ben, are you aware that Tucker Westmore was in the car?" "Is that a problem?" "It's a big problem." "How could you be so reckless?" "I'm sorry." "What's in this?" "Tucker Westmore is the key to everything." "I told you not to disappoint me."
