Complete story — includes the ending

Rosie's immigration lawyer (Reggie) has her employed in the home of his elderly uncle (Kenneth Miller) who is debilitated by a stroke. Kenneth's adult daughter (Lucinda Miller) and young wife (Didi Miller) live with him but constantly bicker and force Rosie to take sides. Carmen sees Dario (Alejandro's ex-boyfriend) as a threat to her getting her music career unless she goes through the sham marriage with Alejandro. After Spence confessed to Peri about his affair with Rosie and that he wants a divorce, Peri threatens to ruin his career and flee to Europe with their son if he has any contact with Rosie. Peri reveals to Spence that she lied about being pregnant to keep him in the marriage. During the engagement party, a group of masked gunmen (the same group that broke into the home of the Powells) break in Alejandro's home. Alejandro is hit in the chest with a stray bullet from one of the gunmen and dies. Pablo and Valentina find out about Zoila's attempt to have Valentina fired from her job as a maid for the Powells. After having a talk with Marisol, Nicholas decides to have all of Dahlia's belongings donated to Goodwill. While cleaning the hall closet, Marisol finds an old letter from Dahlia's mother that says "Get Opal out of that house.".
