The season consisted of 13 episodes, and concluded on September 22, 2013 with a season high of nearly 3 million viewers.[1] The pilot episode has received positive reviews from critics.[2] It tells the story of five Latina women who works as maids in Beverly Hills, and how they are affected when one of their friends, Flora, is murdered for knowing a secret. Marisol Suarez (Ana Ortiz), tries to figure out who was the killer in order to help her son get released from prison.
