8. I Saw the Shine

Complete story — includes the ending

Adrian and Evelyn are refusing to speak to each other, stressing out Carmen. Shannon is upset that Ben has gone missing. She begins to question if Spence is the killer, but Frances promises her The Circle will make her a star, just like they did for Perri. Marisol wants to break things off with Jesse, wanting to be with Peter, but he doesn't want to, as he has feelings for her. Zoila tries to break up with Kyle, who is catching onto her secret, but has trouble. Adrian, upset that Carmen let Evelyn back into the house, fires her. In retaliation, Evelyn hires her to irritate Adrian. Adrian hires Dani as his new maid. Genevieve hires Jesse as her trainer and begins hitting on him. Peter turns over a new leaf and he and Marisol make up. Rosie begins to realize the prison guard has been spying on her and is a part of The Circle, so she wants to get a conjugal visit with Spence. After having had their marriage annulled due to Ernesto, they get remarried. Kyle, realizing The Circle is all about worshiping Mother, announces to Shannon that he's quit. He also reveals to her that The Circle didn't make Perri famous, and that she has been played. Remarried, Rosie cannot bear to tell Spence the truth about Tucker. Dani tells Carmen that she found her father named Lucas. Lucas and Carmen were madly in love and he is dead now, something they are both horrified about. Zoila, wanting to dump Kyle, teams with Frances by starting a fire at Frances' home to get him to move back in with her and he does. The firemen want to check their attic, but both Kyle and Frances are very adamant against it, raising suspicion from Zoila. Rosie confronts Shannon about Perri's murder and Tucker's real father. Shannon, disillusioned by the Circle, doesn't know who it is, except that the man was a big wig in the movie business and that Perri was raped. Genevieve “reveals” to Peter about Marisol and Jesse’s hookup, making Peter concerned. Carmen breaks down about Lucas' death as he was her first and only love and seeks solace in Evelyn, who confesses that Adrian was also her first and only love. Evelyn shares that when she thought he had died, she was heartbroken, but that she has now found a new love and Carmen will too. Adrian hires a PI to find out what James is hiding. Jesse stops by to try to win over Marisol, not wanting the relationship Dani offers, but she sends him away. Outside Peter's assistant reports to Peter that she is seeing Jesse again, as Peter is seen holding an engagement ring. Carmen reveals to Dani that Lucas was the best man she ever knew, but that she left him and didn't tell him she was pregnant because she wanted to be a star. Dani, unmoved, then makes a call to Lucas, who is alive, and tells him Carmen does not want to see him. Kyle tries to leave The Circle, but Frances says he is too involved and must take care of Ben's body. Fiona, the woman Zoila is house sitting for, returns home early.
