A public affair

Genevieve (Susan Lucci) was visited by the police about the murder of Louie Becker (Eddie Mills) after it was revealed that she had an affair with him. Aided by Michael Stappord (Brett Cullen) as her lawyer, Genevieve was very evasive and Zoila (Judy Reyes) was surprised to find out what her employer had been up to. During the questioning Genevieve lost her temper and told the police that she ā€˜loathedā€™ Louie before storming off.

Zoila decided to talk to Genevieve to find out more about her relationship with Louie. After a lot of prompting, Zoila found out that Genevieve had made a sex tape with Louie and she was sworn to secrecy about it. Unfortunately Zoila couldnā€™t keep her mouth shut and told Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez) who in turn told Evelyn (Rebecca Wisocky) to distract her from the terrible ironing sheā€™d done. Armed with the knowledge Evelyn went straight to the country club to find out more about the sex tape and get revenge on Genevieve for telling the police that she flirted with Louie.

After a spot of blackmail, Evelyn got her hands on the video and released it to everyone at the country club whilst Genevieve was having dinner with Dr. Neff (John Oā€™Hurley). Genevieve confronted Zoila about telling her friends about the sex tape before telling her she was furious with her and going to Greece with Dr. Neff.

Under pressure

Taylor (Brianna Brown) struggled to cope when news of Louieā€™s murder broke. Michael quizzed her about her relationship with Louie and the night that he got murdered. Taylor tried to brush his questions off but he was persistent and started to ask about Blancaā€™s (Naya Rivera) whereabouts. When Michael was out of the house, Taylor started necking back pills and Katy (Grecia Merino) asked questions about what she was doing.

Michael paid Marisol a visit to find out if she had any contact information for Blanca. He left with the contact details for Blancaā€™s sister after brushing off Marisolā€™s questions about Taylor. Michael tried confronting Taylor again and shared his suspicions that Blanca knew what happened to Louie. He told Taylor that he sent Louie to their house the night of Marisolā€™s book party to catch Taylor with her lover. Michael pleaded with Taylor to tell him the truth but she refused.

Taylor was caught making a frantic call about Blanca, which woke Katy up. Thinking she was helping Katy poured Taylorā€™s pills into her wine glass. The next morning Marisol found Taylor passed out on the couch and called an ambulance.

Maid appeal

Marisol (Ana Ortiz) struggled with her attraction to Jesse (Nathan Owens) and was less than pleased when he arrived early to clean her house. With no make-up on and fresh out of bed, Marisol behaved awkwardly as Jesse poked a little fun at her. Marisol suffered further embarrassment when Carmen stopped by and the two women talked about Jesseā€™s attractiveness, which he overheard.

Carmen delighted in telling all of the other maids about Jesse and they gave Marisol unsolicited advice about her love life. They tried to encourage her to ask him out but she was having none of it. Rather than asking Jesse out, Marisol tried to clear the air but was caught off guard when he admitted he found her attractive.

Moving day

Rosie (Dania Ramirez) and Spence (Grant Show) helped Ernesto (Cristian de la Fuente) move into his new apartment but tensions soon arose when Miguel (Alejandro Vera) accidentally smashed something and Spence and Ernesto disagreed about how to discipline him. Ernesto expressed a desire to take Miguel to church on Sunday, which upset Spence as thatā€™s the day he spends with him. Rosie promised to talk to Ernesto so that Spence could still spend Sunday with Miguel.

Rosie stopped by Ernestoā€™s to talk to him, as sheā€™d promised Spence, and was caught off-guard when he appeared in nothing but a towel. She started to muddle her words before eventually getting her point out and quickly leaving. Following her encounter with Ernesto, Rosie had a sex dream about her former husband and woke up in the night shocked.

The next day Rosie visited a priest to talk about her love triangle and was told that legally she was still married to Ernesto and that her marriage with Spence wasnā€™t valid. That evening Spence tried to get intimate with Rosie but she pretended she was coming down with something and told him sheā€™d sleep on the sofa.

Punishing work

Adrian (Tom Irwin) grew frustrated with Carmen when she didnā€™t take to her new role as his dominatrix with the enthusiasm heā€™d hoped. Instead she sat texting Sebastien (Gilles Marini) instead then accidentally let it slip that the married man sheā€™s dating is someone he knows. That led Carmen to spank Adrian just to get him off the subject.

Marisol stopped by the Powell house to see how Carmen was getting on and was shocked to see her friend engaging in S&M with Adrian. Later Carmen stopped by Marisolā€™s to see her and was very enthused to be greeted by Jesse. Marisol told Carmen that she saw her with Adrian and told her she had to stop doing what she was doing with him.

Adrian called a meeting with Sebastien to ask him to find a house with a room that he could use as a sex dungeon. During the chat Adrian started to suspect that Sebastien was Carmenā€™s lover, which was confirmed when he spied them kissing. Carmen told Adrian she wouldnā€™t do S&M with him any more and he blackmailed her by telling her he knew about Sebastien.

Devious Maids continues Wednesday at 10pm on TLC.
