So we learned a lot about the Powell’s this week, and why their relationship is so cold. They had a child that was struck and killed by a car. Adrian blames Evelyn because she took his eyes off him and let him step out in traffic. Since he died, their marriage went cold. She agreed to stay married to him, but the deal was he’d get his satisfaction elsewhere. That’s how the dirty little habit of his prostitution ring started. It seems they once loved one another, and probably still do. However they can’t get past the loss of their son, and who is to blame.

Marisol tried to use the info on Flora’s pregnancy and Adrian’s prostitution ring to get suspicion off her son. She learned that Flora plotted to get pregnant by a rich man and blackmail him. However we learned her son was in love with Flora, having his own fling with her, and even proposed marriage. She said no, so now the son still looks guilty. The son however remembered Flora on the phone arguing with someone, saying that he would pay! From the previews it looks like the husband of the family Marisol initially started working for may be the one who knocked up Flora. Did he kill her though? I doubt it. They’ll save that reveal till closer to the end of this first season.

Carmen’s husband, yes husband, showed up. We learned she married young, and he was not a nice guy and so she ran away. He got violent with her, and Odessa of all people came to her rescue. It seems they have something in common in terms of abusive relationships. It seems to be a turning point in their relationship as well. Odessa told Carmen to stop looking up and look around, there are good men she hasn’t considered. She was of course speaking of Sam, who has always had a thing for her.

Valentina got mad when Remi hooked up with an old ex. She and the ex fought, then she fought with Remi, before finally kissing him. He thought it was ridiculous she was in love with him when they had never been on a date, let alone kissed. So she kissed him! This is actually my least favorite storyline on the show, which sucks because La Lucci is involved in it!

Finally Rosie clued Spence in on his wife’s affair. He wanted to leave her, but Rosie made him see if he left his wife for the maid, it would look bad, he could lose custody of his son. He decided to give his wife an open marriage, with the hope that he could get it on with Rosie. However wife, after agreeing and thinking it over, realized she didn’t want Spence sleeping with anyone she didn’t know about! She of course asked Rosie if she knew who her husband liked . . . Oh boy! This is going to get explosive if, or more like when, she finds out the truth.
