04x03 - w*r and Grease

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Devious Maids"...

Oh, my God.

I've been keeping Tucker away from it all.

Does he know what happened to his mommy?

He knows, but I don't think he understands.

Spence Westmore, you're under arrest for the m*rder of Peri Westmore.

If someone saw Spence, I can prove he's innocent.

Oh, yeah, he was here.

So he was here between 1:00 and 3:00 and not at home?

I'm here to help.

We need to find out who really k*lled Peri.

I have a witness. Her name is Cinnamon.

This case is closed. We've already got a confession.

I k*lled Peri.

As long as I'm in this chair, she won't leave me.

Give it up. I know you can walk.

I'm leaving you.

Evelyn, we were meant to be together.

I'm tired of it. I'm tired of you!

I'm Daniela! Your cousin Josefina's daughter?

That girl's your daughter?

My cousin Josefina... She raised her as her own.

So, she doesn't even know she's adopted?

I'm gonna be working here as a maid!

Name?

I'm a hot girl.

I can see that.

Big fashion exec just bought this place.

She's gonna be gone for six months.

I was drinking and trying on the owner's gowns.

This really cute guy came over and assumed I owned the house, so I went with it.

Kyle, is that you?

You didn't mention your mother was visiting.

She's not visiting. She lives here. Your mother's great.

I can see why you want to spend time with her.

I like her, too. But not for you.

I have other plans for you, Kyle.

I think there's something between us.

Peter.

Husband number three... the one who got away.

Please stop dating Peter.

I'm not breaking up with him.

This means w*r.

I can't believe you've never been here.

It's one of my favorites.

Well, you have good taste in men.

I'm sure you have good taste in food, too.

Oh, I have great taste in food.

Jury's still out on the men.

[Both chuckle]

Hi, I have a reservation. Marisol Suarez for two.

I don't have you.

I just called yesterday.

Well, it's not there.

You don't seem to be that busy.

I'm sure you could still seat us, even without a reservation.

I'm afraid not.

Take that couple to table 9, please.

Hey, they don't have a reservation.

I'm sorry.

One of our regulars has requested we not serve you.

Excuse me?

I think what you're doing is shameful, seeing that woman's husband.

Ex-husband.

Peter. How wonderful to see you.

Genevieve, are you blocking us from eating here?

I love the smell of that aftershave.

Or is that just your natural manly musk?

Don't talk about his musk.

What a shame you couldn't be seated.

Would you like to join me, Peter?

I have an extra chair.

She is ignoring me.

You can see very well that I'm with Marisol.

Perhaps she can have a little doggy bag in the car.

Don't make me take off my earrings.

Come on. We'll go somewhere else.

I told you she was upset.

Can't you do anything about it?

Genevieve is just looking for attention.

If we ignore her, she'll stop it.

Eventually.

Come on. You're a studio head.

You terrify people for a living.

All she did was cancel our reservation.

If that's the worst she's got, it's not really that bad.

I guess you're right.

There's my car.

What the hell?

Genevieve Delatour says hello.

Danni.

What are you doing?

Oh. My bad.

I don't care about the couch. I'm talking about the weed.

[Laughs] Relax. It's medical marijuana.

Really.

Yes. I have glaucoma.

You shouldn't be doing dr*gs.

I thought you were cooler than this.

I'm cool.

You're just like my mom, telling me how to live my life.

That's why I had to get away from her.

You didn't let me finish.

You shouldn't be doing dr*gs inside the house.

If Mr. Powell walked in, you'd be in big trouble. Oh.

I mean, if it was just you and me, I'd say, "Pfft.

Do whatever you want."

You know me. I'm fun.

But Mr. Powell would fire you like that.

Oh. Gracias, Carmen.

Where are you going?

Didn't Mr. Powell ask you to scrub the floors?

He did, but my glaucoma really hurts.

Hey.

I wasn't sure that you'd come.

Of course I came. I will always be there for you.

Even after what I did?

You didn't do anything.

I don't understand why you confessed.

Because I'm guilty, Rosie.

You told me you blacked out, that you don't remember what happened The night of Peri's m*rder.

Yeah, well, Ben came by for a visit and he helped me piece it together.

Ben?

My sponsor.

You know Ben. My good friend.

I've never heard of him.

I thought I'd known him for years.

You see? You were tricked.

And somehow you were tricked into confessing, too.

Rosie, I can see it in my mind. I k*lled Peri.

You couldn't have.

I found you an alibi.

The police didn't want to hear about it because, well, she's a stripper.

Rosie, stop.

The only thing that matters now is Tucker.

He doesn't have a mom or a dad anymore.

All he has is you.

Me?

I don't want him to become a ward of the state.

You were his nanny. You're great with him.

I know it's a lot, but...

I will take care of your son, Spence.

But only until I get you out of here.

You said to call if I heard anything interesting about Spence Westmore.

Yeah, what's up?

His ex found him an alibi.

Well, that's certainly interesting.

Hey.

Hi.

I hope it's okay for me to just pop by.

Are you kidding? You're my favorite neighbor.

And not just because Mrs. Azarian retrieves the morning paper in her brazier.

[Groans] I promise to never do that.

[Both chuckle]

Is Kyle home?

I was hoping he could come out and play.

Oh!

No, he's out of town. Family business.

Oh.

I hope everything is okay.

Oh, nothing to worry about.

Okay. I'm just surprised.

He never mentioned a trip.

If it's any consolation, he left me in the lurch, too.

We had plans today.

Oh.

Any chance you want to come to a charity lunch with me today?

Look, I know you were hoping for Kyle, but honestly, I'm much better company.

No doubt. It's just...

Eh, eh, eh. You're going to love it.

It's 1,000 bucks a plate, and you don't have to pay a nickel.

1,000 bucks a plate?

I mean, chump change for you and me.

But still.

Mario Batali is catering.

Oh, and the gift bags.

And last year's door prize was trip to Barcelona.

Oh, my God!

Is that a yes, then?

That's a hell yes!

Wonderful.

Being in my circle has its perks, Zoila.

You'll see.

It's lovely of you to check on me, Marisol, but I am fine.

Oh, well, divorce is never easy, so if there's anything you need...

Aren't you sweet?

Thank you.

Oh, you smell amazing!

I just had a detox massage.

Lemon grass, coconut oil, and jojoba.

I don't know what jojoba is, but it sure is a hoot to say.

Jojoba.

[Cell phone vibrates]

If it's not completely obvious, they allowed me to drink vodka during my detox massage.

Unbelievable.

Another one of my maids was just fired from her job.

That is the third one today.

What a shame.

I know this might sound crazy, but I think Genevieve Delatour is behind it.

Oh, don't be silly. Of course she's behind it.

You're dating her ex. She put a fatwa out on you.

A fatwa?

Oh, yes.

You are persona non Grata in Beverly Hills.

It's a risk for me to even be talking to you.

[Knocks on door]

You weren't followed, were you?

Stop that.

It's just the hotel manager. I'll only be a moment.

Hello, Theodore.

Mrs. Powell.

I need to speak with you about a sensitive matter.

Before you say anything, that massage therapist placed my hand there himself.

No, no. It's not that.

Mrs. Powell, the credit card we have for you has been... declined.

Declined? I'm sorry.

I'm not familiar with that concept.

Unfortunately, you can't stay in the room without a valid card.

I don't understand.

Our business manager always pays the bills promptly.

Adrian sees to that.

[Gasps]

Adrian.

Carmen, which one of these canes goes best with my golfing attire?

Why do you need a cane?

I've been faking paralysis for the better part of six months.

I'd like my sudden recovery to be miraculous but still believable.

The black one.

The gold one makes you look like a pimp.

Hm. Gold it is.

I thought I asked young Daniela to do the floors today.

Oh, she did them. But I wanted to do them again.

I'm a perfectionist.

Carmen, you don't just miss a spot...

You miss entire rooms.

I'm turning over a new leaf.

You let this girl get away with m*rder.

She's out all night. She doesn't come to work.

I don't understand Why you don't say something.

I want to, okay, but it's not my job to fix her.

You're her mother.

No!

Her mother is my cousin Josefina, and she's very judgmental.

Danni can't stand it.

So, you're just gonna be, what, her friend?

Danni just needs me to be cool.

I didn't have anyone telling me what to do at that age.

Yes, and look how good you turned out.

So, how's it been going with Tucker?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Pretty much like that.

He's been having a meltdown all day, and I'm about to have a meltdown myself.

It's all right.

Spence wants me to look after Tucker from now on.

And I know just what he needs.

An exorcism?

He needs a lovey.

A stuffed animal or a blanket he carries around like it's the most important thing in the world.

He has something like that.

It was dirty, so I was gonna throw it in the wash.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Oh, my God. He stopped.

You just missed your friend, didn't you, Tucker, huh?

[Laughs]

You are much better at this.

Don't take it personally.

He's just missing his mami and papi.

So how is Spence?

[Sighs] He's convinced he k*lled Peri.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Do you know a guy named Ben?

Sure. He's Peri's manager.

He visited the jail Right before Spence confessed.

I know it sounds weird, but I'm wondering...

No. It's not weird.

Before Peri d*ed, Spence was starting to remember things, and then Ben talked to him.

And then Spence was different.

He didn't even want to remember anymore.

Hijiole!

Ben is washing Spence's brain!

That's why he confessed!

Oh. Hello.

I didn't realize anyone would be here.

Can I help you?

I'm Shannon. I'm Peri's sister.

I still can't believe she's gone.

Of course. My condolences.

I'm Jesse. I worked for her.

Oh. Hello.

I knew her, too. I'm Rosie.

Yes.

You're the one who stole my sister's husband.

What's with the pant suit, mami? You look like Hillary Clinton.

I just came from a very swanky charity luncheon where they gave out these as party favors.

Ave Maria Purisima! Is that real gold?

Can I just say, I freakin' love being rich.

They just give you that for free?

Apparently, if you have money, they just give you free stuff.

I really hate you right now.

That's not all.

Francis' friends keep inviting me to dinner parties.

I'm never paying for a meal again.

Don't say anything to Marisol. She got me my job.

I don't want her to know about all this.

I'll keep your secret if you give me that watch.

Hey, there, cowboy.

Yeah, why are you walking like that?

Because I'm dating Genevieve's ex-husband, and apparently, she's friends with my waxer.

I just got a revenge wax.

Ow/ew.

You're dating Genevieve's ex?

Mm-hmm.

Which one?

Peter Hudson.

[Gasps] The young one.

She never got over him.

I don't understand it. You always said that Genevieve doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

Unless you steal her man. Then it's all-out w*r.

Has she sent you the box of bees yet?

Oh, my God.

The best way to hurt someone like Genevieve is to go for the face.

Switch her lipstick with glue and shave her eyebrows while she's sleeping.

I can't do that.

You have to fight back, Marisol.

Your coochie's under att*ck.

You know what? Wait.

I have more ideas.

You have a revenge list in your purse?

Remind me to never get on your bad side.

I'm surprised Genevieve even wants Peter back after what he did.

What did he do?

He just left... out of the blue, así.

No warning, no explanation, nada.

But Peter's not a cruel person. There must have been a reason.

Well, if there was, he never told Genevieve what it was.

[Laughing] Okay. 32 is perfect.

Put laxatives in her coffee.

You are terrifying.

And now I can't drink this.

Now, listen.

I know your sister didn't like me.

Oh, she hated you. Hated.

Hated, hated.

Fortunately for you, I don't hold grudges.

Really?

Life is just too short.

[Crying] Just ask my poor sister.

Oh, no. Don't cry.

Jesse, tissues.

Here. Oh!

Is there anything else I can get you?

Oh, you're too kind.

Do you come with the house?

Excuse me?

The house. I'll be moving in.

Peri left me in charge of her estate.

She did?

Oh, well, technically, it's all in a trust for Tucker, but I'll be calling the sh*ts until he comes of age.

Wow. This house is ginormous!

How many bedrooms?

Six.

Ms. Shannon, what about Tucker?

What happens to him?

I have custody. He's my number-one priority.

What do you think the square footage is here?

No idea.

But why don't I go get Tucker for you?

I'm sure he'd love to see his aunt.

Oh. No rush.

Ms. Shannon, I hope you'll let me stick around.

I still want to be a part of Tucker's life.

Well, I don't think my sister would have approved.

Spence wants me here.

I don't care what Spence wants.

He m*rder*d my sister.

No. He's innocent.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm more than capable of taking care of my nephew, and I can't have you interfering in my time of grief.

Ms. Zoila, Another baconwrapped shrimp for your friend, Ms. Zoila?

Yes, these are delightful.

Carmen, I think you're laying the bacon on a little thick.

Yes, Ms. Zoila. Whatever you say, Ms. Zoila.

Excuse me.

Yes.

Thanks again for doing this. You're doing great.

Oh, I have to do my best or Ms. Zoila beats me.

She's so mean.

Hey, where's your cousin Danni?

Oh, she had to stop at the store for a minute, but she'll be back very soon.

Okay.

Danni. Where are you?

Zoila's party already started.

Oh, my God. That was tonight?

You forgot?

I'm sorry! But I'm on my way.

See you soon.

Got to run. See you guys later.

Oh, hey. Don't I know you?

Oh, yeah.

You were working the door at Peri Westmore's party.

You wouldn't let me in.

Right. Let me make it up to you.

I'll buy you a drink.

Unless you got somewhere else to go.

Nope.

I'm all yours.

Ms. Shannon.

Rosie.

I didn't realize you were still here.

I wanted to stay with Tucker until he fell asleep.

Well, you didn't have to do that.

Jesse went home an hour ago.

I don't mind.

Actually, I could put Tucker to bed every night, if you'd like.

Well, that's not necessary.

I'll call a nanny service in the morning.

Is that what Tucker needs?

Another stranger in his life when he's already lost his mami and papi?

He'll adjust.

But if his nanny was someone he already knew, that would keep him calm.

And quiet.

My sister wouldn't...

Your sister is dead, and so it what happened between us.

Besides, I thought you were calling the sh*ts now.

All right. I'll give it a try.

[Laughs] Thank you.

You won't regret it.

I hope not.

Genevieve.

Love the new look.

It is one thing to defile a person's reputation, but to att*ck their hair?

You've crossed a line.

Good. I've got your attention.

Now come in and sit down.

Lucky for you, I look like a young Jackie O. When I wear a head scarf.

Why are you so hung up on Peter?

You cheated on him.

Who told you that?

Peter.

He knows?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, dear.

I never wanted him to find out.

It was a mistake. It was a one-time thing.

I kept it from him to spare him the pain.

Well, he found out about it.

Do you really think he's gonna get back together with you after that?

Maybe.

If I spend the rest of my life making it up to him.

Okay. What is going on with you?

Why are you acting so... desperate?

I'm...

I've been just so lonely.

I guess I was grasping at anything that would help.

You've gone through times in your life without men before.

You've gotten through those, right?

It was different.

I had Zoila then.

Oh.

Men have come and gone, but Zoila...

She was my constant.

She just needs time. She'll come around.

What if she doesn't?

Carmen, sorry.

What happened?

You said you were on your way an hour ago.

I was, but then I met this guy.

He was super cute.

[Sniffs] Have you been drinking?

A little. Are you mad?

No.

Open.

Ah.

Now take these out there.

Come on.

And the next thing I know, Zoila tells Mario Batali his meatballs are good but that hers are better.

Well, they are.

[Laughter]

So I turn to Mario and I say...

[All gasp]

Oops.

"Oops"?

You just ruined my blouse.

Well, you bumped into me.

You know what? It was an accident.

Nobody's fault.

I'll just get some club soda for...

Club soda won't work on silk.

I'll have you know this is Brisbois.

That's French.

Is it French for "ugly"?

What did you say to me?

I'm sorry, Frances. She's new.

No, don't apologize for her.

What is it with your generation? The entitlement.

You're nothing but a rude little brat.

Hey, don't talk to Danni that way, you old bag of bones.

[Gasps]

Oh, dear God.

Zoila, are you going to allow this?

[Sighs]

Carmen, Danni, please apologize to my friend.

Oh, she's your friend?

Yes. Now say you're sorry.

[Scoffs]

Carmen.

[Gasps]

Okay. You're fired.

Both of you.

That's fine. We quit.

Come on.

Zoila, I know exactly how you feel.

It's so hard to find good help.

Hey.

You ran out so fast tonight, I never got to pay you.

I did you a favor working the party tonight.

And you embarrassed me in front of all those people.

Look, I'm sorry about that.

But all you had to do was apologize.

All you had to do was take my side.

You're the one who encouraged me to play the part.

Well, you're playing it a little too well.

What's that supposed to mean?

You know, you say you're doing this for all the free stuff, but I think you like being one of those people.

Is that so bad?

Yeah, Zoila.

I saw you tonight, kissing everyone's ass.

It's like you're a completely different person.

Well, maybe that's the point, okay?

Maybe I don't want to be myself.

What are you talking about?

Look at my life.

I'm wearing nice clothes.

I'm going to fancy parties.

I have a chateau in Switzerland.

I'm not angry and empty all the time.

I never lost the baby.

The new me gets to be happy.

Well, the old you was my friend.

Seriously?

Mm.

I'll get rid of them. Here.

I'm not going back to Adrian.

I'm taking you up on your offer.

My offer?

You said if I ever needed anything, so I'm moving in.

Wow, I, um...

You can't turn me away.

I have nothing but the clothes on my back and the 17 Louis Vuitton suitcases in my car.

Believe me, if I had literally anywhere else to go, I would.

Actually, I have company right now.

Danni, can I talk to you?

There.

My problem is you.

Your behavior tonight was awful.

Is this about that old lady?

She was a real bitch.

Yeah, she was, but she was also right, and you were being a brat.

You defended me.

Because I wasn't gonna stand there and let her talk to you like that.

But you were out of line.

She bumped into me.

Okay, can you stop, Danni? Please stop.

It's not only about tonight.

It's the boys, the dr*gs. You're crashing cars.

I thought you were cool with all that.

Well, I'm not cool. Okay? I'm not.

I'm worried. You're going down a bad road.

Oh, my God. Don't talk to me like I'm a kid.

I'm talking to you like a kid because you're acting like a kid.

Well, it's none Of your business what I do.

None of the girls know where she is.

Oh, my God.

She's a stripper. Sometimes they just disappear.

Ahh.

Poor Rosie.

She'll be so sad to learn that Spence's alibi has gone up in smoke.

Yeah.

Poor little Rosie.

You'll have to go easy on her now that she's working here.

You okay with that?

Keep your friends close.
