Arman walks down an aisle, with a pistol in his right hand. Hayak’s employee (Gabriel Rodriguez) flees when he sees Arman. The man is blocked by a load of materials on a forklift. He turns and shoots in Arman’s direction, but not before Arman shoots him.

The Cleaning Lady

Thony finishes her song before they put Luca to bed. She rejects Marco’s kisses. He asks what is wrong. She assures him it is nothing before reminding him they weren’t sleeping in the same bed. He says not all the time. She asks where he got the money to pay the embassy official to speed up his visa. He claims the money was his commissions. She asks if he has been gambling. Disappointed, he asks why she always thinks the worse of him. When her phone rings, he demands to know who is calling so late. She tells him it is work before walking away.

Thony arrives at the warehouse, where the man Arman shot is lying on the ground dead. She is cleaning when Arman approaches. He thanks her for coming. She sees he is injured. His arm was grazed during the shootout. While she assesses his gunshot wound, he informs her about the man who he believes was going to rat to Hayak Barsamian (Navid Negahban) about the guns. She tells him it is best if he doesn’t tell her. He tells her if a deal goes through, he could pay for his liver transplant surgery. She refuses his offer because it is too costly, He accredits her for getting the CIA involved. She tells him about Marco being home.

The Cleaning Lady

When she arrives home, Fiona is having a beer. Fiona demands to know where she has been. Thony says it is complicated. Fiona wants to know why she isn’t being open with Marco and if she and Arman are having an affair. After denying the allegations, she opens up about Arman helping her with Luca. She informs her about Arman taking Luca to Doctor Daniel Saroyan (Antonio Jovani Leon), his private physician. Fiona is concerned about being caught between Thony and Marcos, her brother.

CIA Agent Garrett Miller (Oliver Hudson) speaks with ASAC Katherine Russo (Liza Well) about the Barsamian case. He informs her about Arman and another man leaving the Barsamian depot in two semi-trucks at 9:23. Katherine says it happened about four hours before the raid went down. Garrett admits to piecing together the surveillance footage of Arman’s route, which ended somewhere near the Paiute reservation. He suggests they check out all the properties located in that area. She tells him the surveillance footage is only circumstantial evidence. He believes Arman is moving illegal goods. Reminding him of Melongate, getting a warrant is questionable. She wants evidence.

Thony and Marcos meet with Dara Oum (Josette Canilado) to discuss Luca. Marcos is surprised when Dara admits to needing the $20k to pay her college tuition. She asks Thony about the location of the surgery. Thony says they have decided yet. Dara meets Luca.

Arman meets Nadia Morales (Eva De Dominici) who isn’t happy to see him. He pops open a bottle of single malt whiskey before telling her about his plan to take Hayak down. She asks him to clarify. He claims to have utilized the recent raid at the club to move Hayak’s illegal guns. She asks if Hayak is aware of what he did. He says Hayak is aware of him moving them, but that is all he knows. He informs her of a potential buyer who is willing to pay $6 million for all the guns. She warns him if Hayak finds out, he will kill them. He suggests they take the $6 million and go to Curacao. She agrees to help him push the deal through.

The Cleaning Lady

Arman and Nadia meet Noah McPherson (Eric Ladin) in an isolated area. Nadia tests the guns while Noah and Arman watch. Noah admits to being a doomsday prepper. He believes they don’t have much time left before they are forced to fight for water and fresh air. Arman offers the guns to him for $6 million. He wants to test an RPG before he agrees to the deal. He blows up Carlos’ vehicle. Carlos informs him the car was his. Referring to the car as a “gas-guzzler,” he says we did the world a favor.

Thony is concerned about Luca’s condition. She tells Fiona and Marcos, he is jaundiced. Fiona asks how long they have to get him into surgery. She says about two weeks. Fiona suggests they take him to Mexico. Marcos believes it isn’t a good idea. Thony disagrees, saying Mexico is notorious for medical tourism. She warns them about the dangers of crossing the border into Mexico. Marco shrugs it off, suggesting they go home after he has the surgery. She tells him about Arman’s offer to pay for Luca’s transplant surgery. Fiona finds an excuse to leave them to discuss the offer. She informs him about cleaning up crime scenes. He believes Arman is after more than just helping Luca. He questions if she is okay with a criminal paying their son’s doctor’s bills. She says what are their other options.

The Cleaning Lady

Garrett reaches a crossroads before turning to the left, where he meets Hector (Leandro Valdez). He asks Hector if he knows where the Madison farm is located. Hector refuses to tell him anything. He pretends to be interested in buying a tractor when another man emerges from the barn. He parks his truck and gets out. Hector orders the other man to inspect the property. As he leaves, Garrett can be seen walking across the property. Hiding behind bales of hay, he sees a man emerge from a building. He moves in to get a closer look. He searches the barn, where he finds shipping crates of guns. He snaps some pictures of the crates.

Russo meets Garrett to show her the images of the guns. She reminds him the farm was searched without a warrant. He tells her Arman is selling the guns to Noah. She says all the evidence was obtained illegally. He suggests they feed Arman false information.

The Cleaning Lady

Thony tells Arman they will accept his offer to cover Luca’s surgery expenses. She knows it will never be possible for her to repay him. He assures her it is okay, and she is free to go after Luca’s surgery. He tells her his plans of getting out of Barsamian’s illegal business. Marco enters the club. She tries to stop him, but he demands to meet Arman. Marco refuses to shake Arman’s hand. He asks what he wants in exchange for the money to cover Luca’s operation. Arman suggests he take the money for Luca’s sake. Thony convinces him to leave.

Nadia questions Arman about the confrontation. He tells her the man was Thony’s husband. She asks why he was so angry. He informs her about his offer to pay for Luca’s surgery. She accuses him of giving their money away when they will need it. He assures her they will have plenty of money. She says you care about Thony. He warns her about jealousy. She thinks Thony is why he is trying to change his life. She demands he think it over before throwing everything they worked for away.

The Cleaning Lady

Thony informs Arman about Garrett’s knowledge of his deal with Noah. He questions how he found out about the deal. She denies knowing anything. He believes it may be necessary to cancel the deal. She tells him to not worry about Luca, she will find another option.

The Cleaning Lady

Garrett boasts about his reverse telephone method. He is sure they will not move the guns. She tells him there is no hurry to obtain the warrant because Arman knows they are watching him. She suggests they go to Bluey’s Tavern for dinner.

Thony arrives home to find Marco is out. She tells Fiona Arman probably won’t be able to pay for Luca’s surgery. Fiona asks Chris De La Rosa (Sean Lew) and Jaz De La Rosa (Faith Bryant) if they have seen Marco. They both deny knowing his whereabouts. Thony tells her about Marco coming to the club. She calls him, with no luck. Fiona recalls Marco told her he was going to the store. She warns Thony that it could be bad. Thony rushes into the bathroom to find Luca’s $20K is gone.

Marco is at the casino. He wins at craps, and everyone cheers as the episode come to an The Cleaning Lady.

 

The Cleaning Lady Review

Two episodes to the finale, Luca is no closer to getting his donor liver than the debut. Thony’s hope of paying for the surgery in Mexico may have slipped through her fingers. With gambling addict, Marco in control of her $20K, she will probably be returning to the Philippines without Luca.

Garrett is becoming a pain in Arman’s butt. He is desperately trying to save his career by taking down Arman and Hayak. His desperation shows through when he took his young son, Sammy to meet a CIA informant. It took some time for him to convince Sammy’s mother to let him spend time with him. Now, he is taking him on dangerous CIA missions.

I still believe the series should only have 6 episodes, which is obvious with all the filler. Can’t really figure out what the writers are trying to achieve with this one.

The episode deserves a 7. Get more The Cleaning Lady recaps here. Support ReelMockery by clicking the link to find out how.
