## Main characters
### Marisol Suarez

Marisol Suarez (Ana Ortiz) originally goes undercover as a Beverly Hills maid in order to personally investigate the murder of Flora Hernandez. Her son, Eddie, has been arrested for the crime, despite allegedly being innocent, and so over the course of six months she works to befriend fellow maids - Rosie Falta, Carmen Luna, and Zoila Diaz - and find out everything they know about Flora. Taking a job at the Stappord house, while also working part-time for the Powells (Flora's old bosses), Marisol eventually tracks down the true culprit, Philippe Delatour, and her son is exonerated.
Three months pass by the time of the second season, and by then she has entered into a relationship with the mysterious Nicholas Deering. He quickly proposes marriage to her and they move in together, but Marisol can't quite shake there being something secretive about him... and his maid, Opal. Upon doing a whole new investigation, Marisol comes to find out that Nick is responsible for the death of Evelyn and Adrian Powell's son, Barrett. After making him confess the truth to them, she has him turn himself in to the police.
Four months have now passed, by the time of the third season, and Marisol has successfully published a book on the events of the first season. Now working towards the next chapter of her life, she starts a maid placement agency, which leads her to hiring male maid Jesse Morgan, who she starts dating. Problems often occur throughout their romance, as Marisol's previous bad luck with men gets in the way of being happy, and so Jesse eventually leaves her. She then gets involved in the new mystery at hand though, surrounding her former employer Taylor Stappord, and she helps Rosie solve the case that it was really Taylor's love, Sebastien Dussault, who killed tennis pro Louie Becker and maid Blanca Alvarez.
Another time jump, this time being six months, leads into the fourth season. Marisol's book is now being made into a movie, and she enters into a new relationship with head of the studio, Peter Hudson. Jesse pops back up in her life, however, and it turns out he never moved back to Seattle like he originally claimed. Drama strikes when Peter turns out to be Genevieve Delatour's ex-husband, and she comes to claim him back; Marisol also has a brief affair with Jesse. Meanwhile, she also helps Rosie with solving the murder of Peri Westmore, and after that is all complete, Peter and Marisol make amends for the latter's affair, and Peter proposes marriage. She accepts, and a time jump to one year later shows them about to get married; however, Marisol doesn't make it down the aisle. The maids go to investigate and it appears she has been kidnapped.

### Rosie Falta

Rosie Westmore (Dania Ramirez) originates from Guadalajara, Mexico, having immigrated to the United States and takes a job for Peri and Spence Westmore as their maid. While saving money to get her son, Miguel, to America, Rosie goes about life serving the Westmores and also tending to their one-year-old son, Tucker. Rosie winds up entering into an affair with the unhappily married Spence, and is the first to learn that her new friend, Marisol, isn't really a maid, but undercover. While deciding to help Marisol in her investigation, Rosie also keeps hiding her and Spence's affair from Peri. Spence finally decides he wishes to leave Peri and proposes to Rosie, but when Peri sneaks Miguel into America and reunites him with Rosie, she can't bring herself to hurt Mrs. Westmore in such a way. It's only then that Peri learns of Rosie and Spence's affair, as they're about to call it quits, and she puts in a call to immigration and has the maid arrested.
Three months later, in the second season, Rosie goes on trial and is allowed to stay in America until scheduled to seek asylum six months later. She goes to reunite with Spence, who ends his marriage with Peri, but they're forbidden to be together when Peri threatens to destroy her husband's career if the world finds out he's leaving her for the maid. Meanwhile, Rosie finds work in the dysfunctional Miller household, headed by the post-stroke patriarch Kenneth Miller. She also starts seeing Kenneth's nephew, Reggie Miller, but overtime she comes to realize Reggie's been working to tear the family apart, getting wife Didi and daughter Lucinda kicked out, and is prepared to take all of Kenneth's money for himself. Rosie works to stop Reggie and reunite the Millers, and ends up reuniting with Spence. They get married, but when exiting the church, Rosie is shot by Ty McKay and winds up in a coma for the next four months.
Bringing the show into the third season, Rosie finally wakes up from her coma and goes to be with Spence, finally... until her supposedly deceased husband, Ernesto Falta, returns to the picture. Apparently he faked his death and has spent the last five years with the Gaviota Cartel. Rosie fights her feelings for both Spence and Ernesto, but ends up choosing Ernesto. In the meantime she finds work in the Stappord house, but starts to notice something going on with their daughter, Katy. Meanwhile, Ernesto turns out to have been working for the cartel, and he tries to kidnap Katy, really named Violeta, who the cartel has been after for quite sometime. Rosie finds out the truth and condemns her for it, and he decides to do the right thing and leave to settle things once and for all with the cartel, in order to ensure Rosie and Miguel's safety. This means he is stepping aside for her to be with Spence, but when she leaves to do so, she learns he has been beaten to the point of losing his memory of the last three years... giving Peri the perfect opportunity to return and brainwash her ex-husband against their former maid.
Six months later, in the fourth season, Rosie is now working for Genevieve Delatour, and still longs to be with Spence, who has gotten back together with Peri. With the help of their butler Jesse, however, Rosie is able to get to Spence, but after he pushes her away, he slips and falls and regains all his memories. He confronts Peri for her lies... and she is found murdered the next morning. Spence is arrested for the murder, despite being innocent, and Rosie works to prove his innocence. In order to stay close to the Westmores' son, Tucker, she gets a job as his nanny, working for Peri's sister, Shannon Greene. Rosie uncovers all of Peri's greatest secrets, such as the true paternity of Tucker, being that he is the product of Hugh Metzger drugging and raping Peri. However, Rosie ultimately finds out it wasn't Hugh that killed Peri, but his daughter, Gail Fleming. Once she is arrested, Spence is exonerated, and Rosie reveals she is pregnant from one of their conjugal visits. A year passes and Rosie's baby is born, and she attends Marisol's wedding where she and the other maids find that Marisol has been kidnapped.

### Carmen Luna

Carmen Luna (Roselyn Sanchez) longs to be a famous singer, which is why she takes the job of being a maid for popstar Alejandro Rubio. While trying to get close to him in hopes he'll make her a star, she also has to battle the Russian housekeeper, Odessa. Meanwhile, Sam Alexander, the butler, is also crushing very very hard on Carmen, despite her not necessarily reciprocating his feelings... or so she thought. While they go through obstacles, Carmen comes to realize that she wants to be with Sam and they decide to move in together. However, word gets out that Alejandro is gay, and so his agents decide that he needs to marry a woman to convince the press otherwise; they make a deal with Carmen that if she marries Alejandro they'll make her a star, but that means breaking off her relationship with Sam. She chooses stardom.
In the second season, Carmen lives a life of luxury as Alejandro's glamorous fiancée, but this is cut short when he is shot dead by a band of robbers stealing from the rich in Beverly Hills. Carmen and Odessa mourn his loss, and from there Carmen is forced to find work elsewhere, that being in the home of Rosie's former boss, Spence Westmore. She becomes his new live-in maid, just as his nephew Ty McKay comes for an extensive stay. As it turns out, he's one of the robbers from the gang that killed Alejandro, not that Carmen knows that, and Ty starts to develop an unhealthy obsession for the maid. Once it becomes quite clear how mentally unstable he is, Spence is forced to make him leave as Carmen refuses to be anywhere near him. Spence ends up firing Carmen though, when he and Rosie are about to get married, and at a bar she meets Sebastien, who she sleeps with after he promises to introduce her to the Head of Talent for Discerna Records... then he finds out that it's really his wife. Carmen attends Rosie's wedding, but notices Ty just as he is about to drive and shoot it up.
Four months pass by the time of the third season, and Carmen is in an ongoing affair with Sebastien. Marisol, who has started up her own maid placement agency, sets Carmen up with a job for Evelyn and Adrian Powell, the latter of which she becomes the dominatrix of. With Adrian having learned of Carmen's affair with Sebastien, who is acting as his and his wife's realtor, he threatens to go to Sebastien's wife if they do not continue their S&M sessions. It's all put to a stop when Carmen finally goes to Evelyn though, and she finally gets the time to meet Sebastien's wife, Jacklyn, about making her a true star. Jacklyn becomes quite the fan of Carmen, and even interested in her in a more romantic way, but this is all cut short when she becomes aware of her affair with Sebastien. To punish the maid, she holds her under an exclusive contract to prevent her from making music anywhere else. Carmen's relationship winds up not even being worth it though, as it turns out Sebastien killed Louie Becker and Blanca Alvarez, and he winds up dying in the explosion of the Powell mansion.
Six months later, in the fourth season, Carmen continues to work for the Powells when she finds herself being visited by Daniela Mercado, the daughter she gave up years before. Initially Daniela believes the two of them are cousins, and Carmen chooses to keep it that way all throughout her stay in Beverly Hills, but she soon finds out the truth when Carmen argues over it with Danni's adoptive mother, Josefina. Carmen decides to push Danni away, however, and she decides to go on the hunt for her birth father instead. Mad at Carmen though, she returns claiming that he - Lucas - is dead, when in reality he is very much alive and wishes to see his high school lover. Carmen and Danni wind up becoming close again when Carmen saves her from being drugged and raped by Hugh Metzger, and the two decide to start their relationship over, but Carmen remains oblivious to the truth regarding Lucas. A year passes though, and Carmen attends Marisol's wedding where she and the other maids find that Marisol has been kidnapped.

### Zoila Diaz

Zoila Diaz (Judy Reyes) is the maid of Genevieve Delatour, and mother of the teenaged Valentina. While her whole world revolves around her daughter's success, this means that she must prevent her from engaging in a relationship with Genevieve's son, Remi, as Zoila believes rich boys never fall for the help. This is because years ago Zoila had a relationship with Genevieve's brother, Henri, that didn't go so well, and when Valentina confronts her mother over this, she finally understands that she must let her daughter make her own decisions. Zoila stands by as Genevieve starts to go through a financial crisis and Valentina builds a relationship with Remi. What she does not support, however, is Valentina giving up her dream to go to Africa with Remi for a year. She convinces him to go without her, and to leave a note Zoila has previously already written. Valentina ends up finding out the truth though, and leaves for Africa without telling her mother. Meanwhile, Genevieve gets back together with her ex-husband, Philippe Delatour, something that goes unblessed by Zoila. The maid winds up taking part in unmasking him as having killed Flora Hernandez.
By the second season, three months have passed, and Zoila struggles to get in touch with Valentina. She soon returns from Africa though, having broken things off with Remi, and the two wind up making amends as Zoila decides to finally quit meddling in her life. Pablo, Zoila's husband, has previously left her for this, sending Zoila into the arms of chef Javier Mendoza. As the two fall hard and fast for one another, their relationship goes interrupted when Pablo returns to Zoila's life when Valentina gets into some trouble with the law. As the two start to spend more time together they wind up having an affair, and Zoila is left to choose which man she wishes to be with. She confesses the affair to Javier, but chooses Pablo... until she finds out he only wanted her back because he was homeless. She reconsiders her decision and return to Javier, but then finds out she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.
Four months later, in the third season, Zoila gets through mourning the death of Pablo, who was shot dead at Rosie's wedding, and is now more focused on revealing her pregnancy and confessing to whether or not the baby is his. Genevieve convinces her to pass it off as his, but when Zoila and Javier prepare to get married, she tells him the truth and he leaves her at the altar. This makes way for Zoila and Genevieve to start building on their own relationship, relying on one another, that is, until Genevieve begins seeing Dr. Christopher Neff, who frowns upon his girlfriend's closeness with the help. He works to sabotage their friendship, only for Genevieve to choose Zoila over him in the end. Zoila and Genevieve realize they do need to work on their relationship though, but now is not the time as Zoila goes into labor. Complications occur, however, and Genevieve is left to decide whom to prioritize: Zoila or her baby.
Six months pass, into the fourth season, and it's revealed Genevieve chose to prioritize Zoila and that she lost her baby in the hospital. Zoila is unable to forgive Genevieve, and winds up quitting, taking a job for an away fashion executive instead. As she'll be gone for six months though, Zoila starts to pass herself off as the owner of the house, which gets her into a relationship with a man named Kyle. This doesn't go approved by his mother Frances though, who works to sabotage it. Zoila also befriends Adrian Powell to fill the void Genevieve has left, but Zoila's fantasy starts to die down and she slowly breaks things off with Kyle. This is just as her employer, Fiona, is returning home though. Zoila plays a part in helping Rosie solve Peri Westmore's murder, as Kyle and Frances run a cult known as "The Circle" that has something to do with it, and Zoila quits her job for Fiona and returns to Genevieve. The two have made amends and decide to not meddle in each other's lives, which prevents Zoila from saying anything when she finds her boss has begun dating a woman named Lori. A year passes though, and Zoila attends Marisol's wedding, where she and Adrian exchange questionable glances. She and the other maids soon find that Marisol has been kidnapped.

### Valentina Diaz

Valentina Diaz (Edy Ganem) is one of the maids of Genevieve Delatour, and the daughter of Zoila Diaz. She longs for the love of Genevieve's son, Remi, and attempts to form a relationship with him to her mother's dismay. Zoila works to prevent Valentina from getting close to him, as she believes rich boys never fall for the help, but after stepping aside she is proven wrong. Valentina ends up being able to get well acquainted with Remi, and after getting him through rehab when he becomes addicted to cocaine, he returns home and the two of them enter a relationship. It's when Remi wants to go to Africa for a year that Zoila tries to intervene again, as she doesn't want Valentina to throw away her dream of going to fashion school. She convinces Remi to go alone and leaving a pre-written note explaining why. This hurts Valentina, leading to Zoila confessing the truth; the mother and daughter have a falling out, and Valentina leaves for Africa without saying a word.
Three months pass by the time of the second season, and Valentina returns home as she and Remi have broken up. She tries to avoid Zoila at first, and takes a job as the Powells live-in maid, but she and her mother finally make up when Zoila promises to quit meddling in her daughter's life. Remi returns from Africa too, wanting Valentina back, but she finds herself in a new relationship with a poolboy named Ethan. Remi fights for Valentina's love, but the longer she spends with Ethan, the more his true colors comes out. Valentina officially terminates her relationship with Ethan when learning he is part of a robbery gang who killed Alejandro Rubio, and she gets back with Remi. This puts her in danger though, because, while Ethan goes on the run, the unstable member Ty McKay decides it's best to kill Valentina to keep her quiet. Valentina and Remi attend Rosie and Spence's wedding together, and Ty drives by to try and kill her, but misses, only killing her father Pablo instead.
Four months later, in the third season, Valentina and Remi are in a stable relationship, though the latter is more protective ever since the wedding shoot-out. When Remi finds himself being accepted into a school in New York, however, he convinces Valentina to join him since she can take a fashion internship up there too. They leave to do so, but not without becoming engaged and Remi taking Valentina's virginity.

### Evelyn Powell

Evelyn Powell (Rebecca Wisocky) is the unhappy wife of Adrian Powell. She and her husband are the employers of murdered maid Flora Hernandez, and their lives start to pique the interest of Marisol Suarez, whose son, Eddie, was falsely arrested for killing the maid. As it turns out, Adrian runs a prostitution business where he hires women to sleep with his friends and then he records the sessions to make his own person pornography. This hobby disgusts Evelyn, but it's the only way to keep him from leaving her, as he blames her for their son being hit by a car; she looked away from him for just a few seconds. As Marisol digs through the Powells secrets, she works to find out the real killer of Flora Hernandez, but once doing so, she fails to get a proper confession out of him. It's the Powells who get justice for Flora, as they find out Philippe Delatour killed her, and they kill him themselves by poisoning him and throwing him off their balcony. Marisol and the maids add that he confessed to Flora's murder, and the Powells and the maids silently part ways.
Three months pass for the second season and the Powells appear to be in a fairly good place, that is, until their home is robbed during a dinner party and Adrian is left traumatized. Because of this, the couple hire a bodyguard named Tony Bishara, who Evelyn becomes instantly infatuated with. The couple also hire Valentina Diaz as a maid. Evelyn and Tony end up entering an affair, and they work to get Adrian sent off to a mental hospital for a brief period of time so they can be alone together; they just have to worry about Valentina. It's she who basically exposes their affair to Adrian, but when he catches them in the act he realizes how hurt he truly is. Adrian does away with Tony when learning he's really a con artist though, and works to rebuild his marriage with Evelyn. This is only enhanced when Marisol hauls her new husband, Nicholas Deering, who was also once friends with the Powells and make him confess to being the driver that ran over their son fifteen years before. As the Powells cry over this revelation, Marisol takes Nick to turn himself in to the police while Adrian and Evelyn decide to forgive one another for everything.
Four months later, and into the third season, Evelyn and Adrian seem to be happy, but their sex life lacks. Adrian comes to find he has a particular interest in bondage, whereas Evelyn decides she wants to sell their home when the severed leg of tennis pro Louie Becker winds up in their yard. Adrian fails to get Evelyn into his new found S&M lifestyle, and instead blackmails new maid Carmen Luna into joining him. She goes to Evelyn about this though, and it's put to a stop, while Evelyn has decided she desires the love of a child. She decides to foster a son by the name of Deion, who Adrian initially hated, but soon grows fond of. When he's taken away by his birth father though, Evelyn decides to end her marriage with Adrian. However, unforeseen events involving the exposure of their realtor Sebastien Dussault being an exposed as a murderer results in the explosion of their home, leaving Adrian's fate unknown.
A time jump of six months occur, making way for the fourth season, and Evelyn has become trapped in her marriage with Adrian as he fakes paralysis from the home explosion. Though she leaves him when learning the truth, Adrian is determined to make her fall in love with him again and so he works to destroy her life to send her crawling back. He seizes control over their accounts, preventing her from having any money, and she is forced to work for Marisol's maid company as her assistant. She begins dating Reverend James Hamilton, but this withers out when she realizes he's too nice for her. Adrian, meanwhile, decides to marry Gail Fleming in hopes of drawing Evelyn back, but they go through with signing their divorce papers, too stubborn. It's when Gail is arrested for murdering Peri Westmore that the Powells are left with the question of whether or not they get back together... and the answer goes unrevealed, as one year later Evelyn is seen acting as Marisol's maid of honor. It seems the bride has been kidnapped though, when she doesn't make it down the aisle.

### Taylor Stappord

Taylor Stappord (Brianna Brown) marries Michael Stappord after they fall in love when she is paid to seduce him by Adrian Powell. Six months into their marriage they take on a new maid, Marisol, who is secretly trying to prove the innocence of her son, Eddie Suarez, who has been accused of murdering maid Flora Hernandez. Marisol becomes a confidante of Taylor's as she struggles to win the side of her husband, whose ex-wife, Olivia, continues to sink her claws into him. She eventually becomes pregnant with Michael's child, and despite some shenanigans pulled by Olivia, everything appears to be going well for the Stappords until Taylor is accidentally shot by a sniper, which was meant to hit Marisol. Taylor winds up losing the baby, and so she convinces Michael to tell Marisol everything he knows about Flora's murder.
After proving her son's innocence, Marisol quits working for the Stappords to resume her previous life, but she remains close friends with Taylor. Early in the second season, Taylor meets with Marisol where she reveals that she and Michael are moving to Washington D.C. and plan to adopt a child once getting settled in.
The Stappords return in time for the third season, however, with a new mysterious daughter in tow. Since moving to D.C. and back to Beverly Hills, Taylor and Michael's relationship has slowly begun to deteriorate, which leads Taylor to having an affair with Sebastien Dussault. Michael pays a friend, Louie Becker, to catch Taylor and Sebastien in the act, but Sebastien accidentally kills Louie and so he and Taylor cover up the murder. As Taylor's life continues to fall apart, with also having to raise the daughter she illegally adopted from Mexico, who she's hiding from a drug cartel, things only get worse as Marisol and new maid Rosie begin digging deeper in Taylor's secrets. Ultimately though, Michael leaves Taylor, but she and her daughter, Katy, flee Beverly Hills and take up new aliases.

### Michael Stappord

Michael Stappord (Brett Cullen) is a Beverly Hills lawyer, once married to interior designer, Olivia Rice. After twenty years of being unhappily married, Michael had an affair with a prostitute named Taylor. They soon fell in love, and so Michael left Olivia to marry her. The Stappords wound up hiring a maid, Marisol; however, she is secretly the mother of the man arrested for Flora Hernandez's murder, and Michael represents the real culprit in the court of law. While also dealing with Olivia lingering in their lives, trying to win Michael back (even attempting suicide at one point to do so), Taylor soon learns she pregnant with Michael's baby. She soon miscarries because of Flora's killer though, Philippe, and Michael tells Marisol everything she wishes to know afterwards.
The Stappords move away early on in the second season, with Michael getting a job in Washington D.C., and telling Taylor that once they're settled in they can look into adopting a child.
By the time of the third season, however, the Stappords return with a new daughter named Katy. Due to the stress of parenting, the Stappords' marriage is now hanging on by a strand, and Michael starts to suspect Taylor is having an affair. This proves to be true, but when Michael's friend sent to spy on Taylor ends up mysteriously murdered, questions begin to arise. The Stappords have two maids during the course of the season, one being Blanca Alvarez, and the other being Rosie Westmore. Both start to look into what the Stappords are hiding, though it turns out Michael is just as clueless as everyone else. Ultimately though, it becomes known that Taylor's lover - Sebastien Dussault - killed both Louie Becker and Blanca Alvarez. When Michael finds out it was Sebastien having an affair with his wife, he swears to kill Sebastien; however, Sebastien proceeds to shoot Michael dead. Taylor and Katy, meanwhile, run away and assume new aliases.

### Peri Westmore

Peri Westmore (Mariana Klaveno) is an up-and-coming actress in Beverly Hills, as well as the wife of soap opera star, Spence Westmore. She and her husband are the employers of maid Rosie Falta, but as Peri is slowly becoming more and more famous, her marriage begins to deteriorate as a result. She neglects her husband and son - Tucker - delving into an affair with her costar. Meanwhile, Spence is busy falling in love with Rosie, and the two of them have an affair too; but when Spence suffers a heart attack, Peri sees the error of her ways and decides to make her marriage work. This fails though, as Spence is already madly in love with Rosie. When Peri commits a hit and run, Rosie decides to give up on trying to see the good in Peri and to run away with Spence, but this changes when Peri brings Rosie's son, Miguel, to America. Rosie tries to end her affair with Spence, but it just so happens this is when Peri learns the truth. As an act of revenge, Peri reports the maid to immigration and has her arrested.
Three months pass by the time of the second season, and Spence has stayed with Peri because he thought Rosie was lost to him forever. When Rosie is released though, she returns to the Westmores. Hoping to sink her claws into Spence and prevent him from leaving her, Peri lies to Spence and claims to be pregnant. Meanwhile, she has a doctor shoot her up with fertility drugs, but Spence decides to end their marriage regardless. Hurt and betrayed, Peri threatens to destroy Spence's career if word gets out that he was sleeping with their maid. She also gains full custody of their son and leaves to film for a movie in Rome.
Peri isn't seen again until the finale of the third season where she returns to Rosie and Spence's life. With Spence currently suffering from amnesia, having forgot the last three years of his life, Peri has Spence convinced that they're still married and Rosie is just their maid.
A total of six months pass going into the fourth season, and Peri has sorted out her story, and has Spence prepared to remarry her. Rosie finds out about this though and attempts to get through to Spence at Peri's party for winning an America's Choice Award. Though this initially fails, Spence regains his memories once Rosie leaves and he gets drunk and publicly confronts Peri for her lies. The following morning, Peri is found murdered in her bedroom and Spence is arrested for the crime. Believing Spence to be innocent, Rosie quests to find out the truth, and soon enough it's learned that Tucker isn't really Spence's son. Peri was raped by a movie director, Hugh Metzger, and he's the biological father. She was also part of a cult known as The Circle, and Peri's true killer was none other than Gail Fleming, Hugh's daughter, who was trying to cover up her father's rape accusations. Rosie has Gail arrested, and Spence is released from prison; however, he remains oblivious to Tucker's true paternity.

### Spence Westmore

Spence Westmore (Grant Show) stars on the daytime soap opera, Love Affairs, and is married to up and coming actress, Peri Westmore. Together the two raise a son, Tucker, though he is primarily under the care of their maid, Rosie Falta. Due to Peri's rise to fame, she and Spence's marriage begins to fall apart as Peri evolves into just another Hollywood diva. As such, Spence winds up entering into an affair with Rosie, who he subsequently starts to fall in love with. Things go well for a while, but Spence eventually suffers from a heart attack.

As it turns out, Spence lost his memories of the last three years, and Peri shows up to "help" him remember the truth. As far as Spence is concerned, he and Peri are still married, and Rosie is their maid.

Remi is ruled out as a suspect in "Cleaning Out the Closet", but a connection is established between Remi and Flora's rapist. In "Getting Out the Blood", Marisol deduces that the rapist and killer is Remi's father, Philippe Delatour, and she is set on exposing him in "Totally Clean".

Benjamin Pacheco, a member of The Circle, later collides with Rosie's car as she's taking Tucker home. The two end up in the hospital with seemingly minimal injuries.

Spence donates his blood for the operation, but he and Tucker have different blood types. As it turns, out Spence is not Tucker's biological father. In "Grime and Punishment", Rosie learns that director Hugh Metzger raped and impregnated Peri with Tucker, and that The Circle knew this, blackmailing him into bankrolling the cult.
