Devious Maids: Heading Into The First Season Finale
The latest episode of “Devious Maids” answered more questions about Flora, but left the big one still unanswered. Next week we shall learn all! However the show should set up the second season as well, if Marc Cherry follows his usual formula.
Remi confronted his father about murdering Flora to protect him, but Philippe swore he didn’t. Was he lying? Possibly, because he’s very good at it. We did learn though that Philippe also had sex with Flora, who was a gift to him from Adrian. However she said no to him, but Philippe said “She was a whore, she can’t say no.” So we know that Philippe is the one who raped her and Flora wrote the letter about. Is it possible he was also the father of her child all along, not Remi?
Michael found out who Marisol really was and warned Philippe. He too felt it was Philippe who possibly killed her. He thought they needed to go to the police and make a deal, but Philippe said he would handle Marisol. Michael warned him not to make things any worse. He went home and warned Marisol about Philippe and the danger to her life. He felt it was best she leave, he’s made arrangements to basically hide her away for awhile. Taylor however didn’t want her to leave. She asked Marisol if she lied about being her friend, and Marisol said no. Taylor convinced her to stay. Taylor went to the car to get her bags, which unfortunately is when the gunman Philippe hired to take care of Marisol shot Taylor by mistake. She sadly looked to be hit right in the stomach, probably killing her unborn child if she herself manages to survive.
Remi made plans to leave town himself, out of fear what could happen to him if the truth about his involvement with Flora comes out. Valentina planned to go with him, but Zoila did not want this to happen. She convinced Remi to leave without her so that she could go to school and pursue her dreams. Remi knew Valentina would hate him, but Zoila said only until she learns the truth, then her daughter would hate her.
Sam returned and Carmen and Sam planned to move in together. However thanks to his scorned ex, the paparazzi were after photographs and proof that Alejandro was gay. Everything he worked for was about to be lost. His managers realized he needed a beard, one he could marry and trust with his secret. He had the perfect girl in mind. He didn’t say it, but we all know it’s Carmen!
Finally Spence proposed to Rosie, who turned him down. She told him what Peri was going to do for her. She said they can’t be together anymore. Spence then went to Peri to try and stop her, but only temporarily. He said what she was planning was actually illegal (smuggling a Mexican child into the US in a private jet). He told her to let him look into things and take care of it, but she refused. She wanted to do this now, and she felt Spence was trying to steal her glory and this was her plan! She brought Rosie’s son home to her, and she thanked Peri. Peri then made the comment to Spence “and you wanted me to wait!” Rosie then gave him a look! He tried to explain, but she wouldn’t hear it. My guess is when Peri finds out about the affair, and she will, the first thing she’ll do is make a call to INS about Rosie’s illegal child. We’ll ignore the fact that she’s the one who brought him into the country in the first place.
Next week is the big finale! I can’t wait to see who killed Flora. All signs point to Philippe, but his insisting he didn’t kill her had me wondering. Could Genevieve have done it? Did Flora tell her all, causing her to snap and have a psychotic episode that even she doesn’t remember? Recall the opener mentioned all her psychiatrists and meds! Is Philippe actually trying to protect her and Remi?
I also think Philippe will end up dead, and that will lead to the second season mystery. Who killed Philippe?
