The Ceremony and Tradition of the Altar is one that can be found in many cultures, globally. And within the vast network of unique cultures that practice this ritual, there are vastly diverse ways in which to perform rituals and practices with the Altar.
This article is dedicated to the ritual of creating an altar for our lovers.
What is an Altar?
An altar, in essence, is a place of worship or ritual. It does not have to be a permanent location, or even a permanent design. In fact, in my own practice, my alter is portable and the sacred objects that are inside are continuously changing, though several have been with me since I began carrying an alter. Creating an altar, and developing practice, for me, means that my altar goes with me wherever I go. I never know when I will be called to practice and perform ritual, nor do I know when I will be in need of the forces woven into my Altar.
Before we talk about the Ritual of Creating an Altar for Lovers, I would like to address some of the tools and philosophies that are essential for me in Altar Rituals, carrying an altar, and why these things have become essential in my practice.
If you wish to skip this section and move into the Altar of Lovers Ritual itself, scroll down to "Why would one build an Altar for Lovers".
For example, I carry with me small empty vials when I travel. This is because I have developed the practice and position as a Sacred Water Bearer. When I visit a place, I pay my respects to the bodies of water there, Mama Cocha, Rivers, Cenotes, Oceans, Creeks, or Holy Waters present at Temples or other Sacred Geographies.
Praying with Water is one of my strongest practices, and thus I carry small vials to collect water from sacred waters. Whether they be an Ocean, a River, or a body of water that resides close to a Temple. I believe that they all have powerful presence, and reflect the Sacred Geography, Spirit, and History of a given Land. I fill my vials with water to carry their Spirits with me, to give offerings to other bodies of water (as the gift of connecting water forces), and us them to bless (when charging stones in lunar water, when in ceremony, while conducting limpias, etc.).
This is one example of how the objects and elementals held within our altar can be used in powerful force when performing prayer and rituals with our altar, given that we have fostered and nurtured a relationship with those forces. I also carry stones, from Temples, Rivers, Sacred Sites, and so forth, that I have visited globally. There are various crystals that I also carry. Within my altar are medicine pouches for particular medicines, as well as 2 sacred clothes that are the wrapping of my portable altar (one a Shipibo Cloth, the other a Mayan woven cloth). I also carry seeds from sacred plants (which I have cleverly disguised as a rattle for customs sake!). There is also the presence of plant material, including the smoking herbs, burning herbs, and essential oils.
With these tools, it is possible for me to conduct any ritual, anywhere. And though I have my altar's primary set-up (arranging the altar in the 4 Directions, with specific pieces for specific elementals and directions), the point of an alter is that it is temporary and it's contents diverse, therefore any set up can be made at any time, fully supported by all of the forces within the altar.
This article is about the ritual of constructing an Altar dedicated to Lovers. The purpose of this ritual, for me, is to give gratitude, respect, and love to those who have walked with me in this life.
Why would one create an Altar or Ritual for Lovers?
Why not? For me, so much of my being is interwoven with those whom I have been intimate with. As a woman of deep feeling, with a talent for intimacy, and lover to all things, I feel it so vital for my being to always give gratitude for the ones who have walked beside me, as well as continuously clean the karma between us when we venture into now realms of shared relationship (i.e. friendship, back into lovership, etc.).
I am so much of a romantic, this ritual has helped me to put to rest unresolved emotional feelings, as well as create channels of communication between my being and the astral bodies of my lovers. This is done, and only should be done, for the purpose of healing wounds, gifting love and prayers, and "feeling" out from one soul to another.
Navigating the invisible realms of interwoven energy that humans share is like learning how to be present in ceremony: much happens that we cannot see but we must learn to see it if we are to hold space and presence. If we just ignore it, there are causes and effects that we remain ignorant of.
I give recognition to each person's unique walk, and speak of the unique ways in which they have touched my life, the ways that they express their unique beauty in this world. I sit in front of the altar and meditate with each aspect (this alter is broken into 3 parts- one for each lover, in a circle, and thus can be rotated) and feel each in my body. I sit with what comes, and if it is something that must be released, I release it. If something is to be thanked, I thank it. If something is to be loved, I love it.
This ritual taught me to fully embody all of the roles that I may play in my lovers lives, without attachment to the role as only the lover. Even if they are past lovers, we are still brother and sister in this walk of life, and I do not stop my prayers because they (or I) chose to walk a different way.
To Make the Altar:
To make the altar, one merely needs the intention for the ritual, whatever that may be. For me, it was connecting to the 3 lovers present here. They were in various geographies at the time, and their positions in my life uncertain (if the lovership was in continuation or not). My intention was to connect to them in the Astral Realm, to pray for their walks, and to release any lingering attachment between us, simultaneously calling in clarity for the new relationships to be had. I even prayed for their new lovers. My intention was also to send love, pure, untainted love.
When the intention is clear (which is very important), one builds the alter. For me, I chose construct the alter in a circular fashion (symbolizing complete equality), and to devote a section of the alter to each Lover individually. I also chose to give them the same symbols. For example, each lover had gifted me a necklace during our lovership, each lover symbolized an exploration of a particular plant (also pictured here), and each lover was present with me when exploring Sacred Geographies (Countries, waters, stones, etc.). Thus, I constructed this altar with symbols directly linked to our shared history, our key elements of intimacy and time together.
The construction of the altar is half the ritual within itself. Choosing objects and symbols, connecting with them in meditation and prayer as you choose them, place them on the altar, and arrange them, is the force that gives the altar life. Thus, when performing a certain ritual as this, most of the power of the ritual comes from your state of consciousness when actually creating the space itself (the altar).
Be sure be in a completely mindful space. As you arrange your sacred tools and objects, signifying the lover, allow yourself to revert into the memories. Allow yourself to feel the love that was shared. Thank it, thank them, and place it on the altar without attachment. Visit each of them in gratitude and thankfulness.
I would say that this altar (as other rituals) are best performed on lunar cycles, as the magnetics of the Earth are in a more potent and powerful state at these times.
Whatever you choose, intention and object, it is so very key that this ritual be seen as a ritual of Love. If ill intention exists, this ritual, like so many others, could result in what some call "Brujeria" or witchcraft. No rituals of this sort should ever be done for harmful intentions, intentions for control, or even intention of intervention of one's own personal power. Such a thing is what separates "White Magic" from "Black Magic".
Once you have set up your Altar…
Activate it by doing a ritual of prayer. Smoke tobacco, burn sage or palo santo, whatever helps you activate the space. It is done to say "I am here, I have created this ritual here, and this is my intention. I call upon ______ to be here, to share presence, and to give gratitude, release, and love". An opening prayer stating name, intention, names of lovers and symbols, and reflecting upon the symbols that you have made, is also a wise idea to place your intentions into a verbal prayer..
From here, my experience was just being conscious of the portal that I had activated for the next 3 days. I kept the altar up for 3 days, and visited it occasionally when I felt the calling to listen, communicate, and to pray. Much came through. Memories that I had forgotten, blockages that needed to be released, attachments that needed to be dealt with within my own heart, and finding through it all that it produced a profound level of gratitude, for things large and small, about the shared history or the person themselves.
Occasionally, I would feel the calling to one lover. I treated the altar in a way that allowed me to turn it. So, if I was feeling connected to one lover, or feeling the need to pray for something between myself & them (or just for them), I would turn it, face it, and sit with it.
In this way, I appreciate Altar Rituals. They do not have to be a full-on ritual that demands presence for it's entire duration. Instead, I have found that it is a beautiful process of unfolding creativity, which is where the power is for me. The more I allow the ritual to unfold, without having particular ideas about it, the more insightful it is. I didn't sit by this altar for 3 days straight. The idea was silly to me. But to have it up, and to be in a space of consciousness for those three days, allowed me to go into deeper realms with myself, in relation to these beautiful beings. I was simply conscious and aware of my own space, and that I had activated a portal of prayer and communication.
What happens after the ritual?
For me, my more sensitive lovers, had experiences of my presence within their fields during the 3 days that I performed this ritual. One former lover, now brother, who was in the jungles of Peru at the time, had an experience of feeling the power of the plant medicine that we shared, strongly, during the night that I put up the alter. I also had the same powerful feeling when placing his plant upon the altar.
Another lover, had shared with me (when I shared the nature of the ritual afterwards) that it was interesting that I had chosen the Mapacho for him because he had been making flower essences with the flowers of his own plants, and that he had felt a deep connection to it within the recent times of his life.
It is not to say that my ritual caused any of this, that is just silly. But it is to say that there are threads of connection that when tapped through symbols and rituals, can allow us to access deeper states of connectedness with the ones we love and support.
I took the altar down after 3 days. It for me was incredibly healing. I noticed deeper states of meditation between myself and a lover who was in a ceremonial realm of the 3 days, our astral bodies connecting more profoundly than with the others. I noticed an intuitive understanding of where they all were, and I felt an expansion of the beauty and love that I had for them, a release of what was no longer serving, and concluded the ritual with an intention for new pathways of love to form between us, in whatever form that was to be.
I recommend this ritual for anyone who feels the desire to transcend selfish desires between self and others. As a practice of pure, unadulterated love, this ritual allows for the cultivation of deeper presence between ourselves and the threads that connect our hearts to others ❤

Genevieve Hudson

I can't be selfish, the U.S. economy needs me.
|Genevieve Delatour, "An Ideal Husband"
Genevieve Delatour (previously Hudson), born as Eunice Mudge, is one of the main characters of Devious Maids. She is the rich, emotionally unstable boss of Zoila, and mother of Remi. For years she's survived off her looks, marrying many rich men and living a life of luxury, but this also comes with much heartbreak, which she would not have been able to get through had it not been for Zoila, who over time, has become her rock. Despite her cliché Beverly Hills herris appearance, there is more to Genevieve than what meets the eye: she has a heart, and simply wants the best for those she cares for.
Early Life
Born in 1953 as Eunice Mudge, her mother, Velma, was married to a man who ended up dying in the Korean War. Eunice grew up with a working mother, who finally eventually remarried. Eunice witnessed her mother date/marry numerous men throughout her childhood, one of which fathered her half-brother, Henri. Velma eventually stayed single and went back to working to take care of her children, doing everything she could to put clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads. ("Minding the Baby", "The Visit") Since she was three years old, Eunice preferred to look for stylish, and cared more about her looks than anything else, something Velma didn't necessarily approve of, or think was 'cute'. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") At the age of six, Eunice had a weight problem, and Velma would joke about her being "the butterball express", something her daughter did not enjoy. ("The Visit") It took until she was seven years of age for Eunice to learn that most mothers don't belittle their own children, and so she started feeling guilty that there was something wrong with herself. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") At the age of sixteen, Eunice dented the fender of Velma's Pontiac, resulting in the latter paying $46 to repair the car, and from that day forward to believe her daughter was entirely unable to drive. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") Genevieve has cousins in Oklahoma, a part of her family that she detests. ("The Visit")
Genevieve and her second husband. ("Getting Out the Blood")
That same year, Eunice decided to run away from home to Los Angeles to "reinvent herself", where she took the name "Genevieve", something she first heard in a romance novel. She also forced her brother to change his name to Henri, something Velma did not approve of, as she believed her children were not allowed to be ashamed of her, especially after all she went through for them. ("The Visit", "Long Day's Journey Into Night") Years later, after a previous failed marriage, Genevieve meets and marries Philippe Delatour, and together they have a son by the name of Remi. It can be assumed that it was during their marriage that Genevieve hires her maid, Zoila Diaz, who goes on to become a close friend of hers; Henri also visits during this time, and has a brief romance with Zoila. Genevieve inadvertently ruins things when she introduced Henri to his wife, Cynthia. As he is serial cheater, Philippe ends up buying her an expensive ring as an apology for sleeping with her nutritionist. She throws it at his eye and scratches his cornea, proceeding to give the ring to Zoila in case of a rainy day. Philippe's many affairs, including one with Genevieve's sister, results in the end of his and Genevieve's marriage. ("Wiping Away the Past", "Making Your Bed", "Walking the Dog") At some point in the 1980s, Genevieve accidentally joins a cult, mistaking it for an exercise class. ("The Maid Who Knew Too Much")
Genevieve's wedding to Peter Hudson. ("Another One Wipes the Dust")
In the 1990s, Genevieve marries to another man - Peter Hudson - who was the youngest of all her husbands. He was in his late 20s while she was in her early 40s, and he was working as a junior executive (which she often mistook as "errand boy"). One night, while he was working, she chatted to his colleague Hugh Metzger at a party. He slipped something in her cocktail and she woke up in his bed the next morning, not realizing that what happened to her was rape. Her marriage to Peter soon ended due to Genevieve "cheating" on him; he walked out on her because of it, but she didn't realize he knew about it and couldn't fathom why he left, hence she was never able to get over him. ("Another One Wipes the Dust", "War and Grease", "Much Ado About Buffing") The last time Genevieve ever eats bread is in 1992. ("Suspicion") During her fourth marriage, both she and her husband were each having affairs, often never spending the night at home, thus meaning Zoila never had to make the bed in the morning. ("Whiplash") As two more husbands come and go, with her fifth husband turning out to be gay, Genevieve starts to become a careless mother to Remi. With no one else by her side, her maid, Zoila, starts to become her 'rock', as the only person she knows won't leave her. ("Walking the Dog", "Scrambling the Eggs", "Blood, Sweat and Smears") Genevieve went through menopause during the Clinton Administration - in the second term. ("Minding the Baby") At the age of six, Genevieve attempted to teach Remi how to ride a bike, but when he kept falling, she became so frustrated that she broke down into tears. Remi assured Genevieve not to worry about it, and for her to go inside; he'd learn how to ride by himself. ("Taking a Message")
In the year 2012, Genevieve sees Velma for the last time before cutting off contact with her; Velma believes it's because her daughter doesn't want her around her "rich and snobby" friends. ("The Visit") At one point during Zoila's time as Genevieve's maid, she is asked by her boss to provide her with shampoo whilst in the shower. To her surprise, however, Genevieve wasn't alone. After giving her the shampoo, Zoila spends the next hour waiting for Genevieve and the man to come out; all she can think about is that she's the one who has to clean the mess up. ("Pilot") At different points in her life, Genevieve has had plastic surgery, including the likes of her eyes, a lift, and filler. ("Since You Went Away") Genevieve starts developing a crush for her gardener, Abundio, since the first time he trimmed her hibiscus. ("Setting the Table") She briefly dates her poolboy, Jamal, who ends up breaking up with her when ashamed to introduce her to his friends. This sends Genevieve into depression, and leads her to trying to commit suicide by swallowing a bottle of pills. ("Pilot")
Season 1
The duty of the old is to help the young find love. And, since there are no old people around, it's up to me.
|Genevieve Delatour, "Setting the Table"
Genevieve's suicide attempt goads her son into moving home. ("Pilot")
With Genevieve having attempted suicide via overdosing, Valentina summons Remi to the house so that he and Zoila can help convince her to come out from under the bed and get herself to a hospital, with her revealing to them that she was dating the pool boy Jamal and that he broke up with her because he was embarrassed to introduce her to his friends, having said that she looks like she's 40. However, it is Valentina herself who ends up convincing her employer that she has something to live for when she suggests that Remi stay at home and simply commute to school. Genevieve is thrilled, not even knowing how to start being depressed with her son around, and when he promises to stay with her she decides that she'll go to the hospital after all, though she wants to put her makeup on first to avoid scaring the nurses. Later, Genevieve tells Zoila about her new therapist, whom she claims is a genius because he could tell she needed to be on mood stabilizers within five minutes of meeting her. Zoila is surprised that it took him this long to figure it out and, with the rich old woman gone with her maid, Valentina takes the opportunity to flirt with Remi, who, to Zoila's chagrin, she has long since had a crush on. ("Pilot")
Genevieve agrees to help Valentina win over Remi. ("Setting the Table")
Remi has his friend Glen over and, when Genevieve makes embarrassing comments such as saying that she always thought Glen was gay, Remi reminds his mother of the rule they have where she doesn't speak when he has company. She proceeds to leave, allowing Valentina to approach Remi and bond with him over a shared love of old movies. Zoila hates this, wanting for there to be boundaries between her daughter and her employer's son, but Valentina actively disobeys her mother when she approaches Remi and his friends at the movies and ends up spending time with them. They don't know she's Remi's maid though, and so Zoila takes it upon herself to make sure they find out; she goes to Genevieve and points out how bored Remi must be outside of the frat house. Genevieve subsequently decides to host a party for Remi and his friends, wanting her son to have fun, and Zoila further points out that she doesn't have to worry about a caterer because she and Valentina can take care of everything. When Remi's friends see that Valentina is a maid, she is humiliated, and later Genevieve finds her crying. Knowing this kind of cry all too well, she surmises that Valentina is in love and, when she learns that Remi is the one she is in love with, she is thrilled. She decides that she will help the young couple to get together, but promises not to let Zoila find out. ("Setting the Table")
Genevieve rests after being attacked by a dog. ("Wiping Away the Past")
Zoila is ushered out of the house by Genevieve, who wants her to go pick up a jar of face cream, which means that Valentina is able to head over to Remi's college dorm and help him move the rest of his stuff. Zoila is shocked that Valentina did this and comes to realize that Genevieve helped set it up, sending her into a fury about how the two of them are now going behind her back. Genevieve champions the idea of young love, but Zoila remains steadfast in the belief that rich boys don't end up with maids. Genevieve realizes that this is because of something that happened in the past, and Zoila replies that "he" made promises to her, and she remembers every single one of them. She then says that Genevieve is to tell Remi that he can't see Valentina anymore, deciding that she and her daughter will be taking a few days off. Remi hears the fight and wonders what it's about, and Genevieve explains how, years ago, Zoila fell in love with her brother, Henri. She now has to go over and apologize, but she ends up at the wrong house and a loud dog startles her into falling into some bushes. Her wrist is sprained, but she is fine; however, at the hospital, Remi tells Valentina that the two of them should cool their relationship since it's causing so much tension between their mothers. When Genevieve is home, Henri calls to ask how she is doing; Zoila lies and says that she's not doing so well, so as to have an excuse to invite Henri over... ("Wiping Away the Past")
Henri may be Genevieve's brother, but she sees Zoila as her sister. ("Making Your Bed")
Henri arrives in Beverly Hills, to Genevieve's surprise, but she happily welcomes him while in the meantime he starts to get reacquainted with Zoila. Valentina starts to notice this, and so she goes to Genevieve and asks to know all about her mother's relationship with Henri. As such, when Zoila returns home, Valentina confronts her, concluding that the reason her mother won't let her be with Remi is because she fears that history will repeat itself. She wonders why she would end up with her second choice just because Zoila did, but Zoila assures that she loves Valentina's father, even if she might take him for granted sometimes. Valentina asks if her mother believes she ended up with the love of her life, and Zoila says that she did, and so Valentina requests that she let her end up with the love of hers. Zoila goes on to speak with Genevieve and tell her that she's decided to butt out of her daughter's love life. She then bursts into tears and says that if Henri comes back, she doesn't want to be there. She knows Genevieve doesn't want to hear that because he's her brother, but, as Genevieve points out, Zoila is her sister. ("Making Your Bed")
"It's time to find Husband #7." ("Walking the Dog")
Zoila returns along with Genevieve from Armani, only to learn from Valentina that the gardeners are refusing to work because their checks bounced. Genevieve finds this terribly strange, wanting to get into contact with her business manager Myron Moyer to see what's happened, but it seems he's skipped the country and taken all of her money with him, meaning she no longer has a cent to her name - she believes this to be the end of the world. Michael, as Genevieve's lawyer in this case, comes over and explains that Myron cannot be arrested because he fled to Brunei, with whom America has no extradition treaty. Genevieve isn't doing as good as a result; Zoila tries giving her an expensive ring that her employer gifted her ten years prior, but Genevieve refuses to take it, wanting to be smart and find a way to sort out her own finances. She decides to go to her ex-husband, Philippe Delatour, so that she can get money out of him, appealing to his sense of guilt after he cheated on her so many times. When she goes to visit, he is aware that she is broke and in need of money, and he offers her a million dollar painting... in exchange for one last sexual encounter. Genevieve refuses to debase herself just to pay a few bills, which Zoila is very proud of; the maid begins listing off ways Genevieve can be responsible for herself from now on, but this merely makes Genevieve want to bite the bullet and sleep with Philippe after all. With her finances temporarily sated, Genevieve still refuses to take Zoila's ring, though she does have another plan to regain her riches: she's going to do what she's always done. "It's time to find husband number seven." ("Walking the Dog")
Genevieve introduces her new fiancé. ("Minding the Baby")
Zoila and Valentina welcome Genevieve home, having learned that, while out on her cruise, she managed to secure a new fiancé: Alfred Pettigrove. He is 76 and rich, and Genevieve lied to him saying that she's 39. Zoila wonders if the man is stupid to think that this is her employer's real age, but then he enters the house, revealing himself to be blind. The maids aren't comfortable maintaining the lie over dinner, especially when Alfred announces that Genevieve has agreed to bear him a child, and Zoila asks her how that's supposed to work. Genevieve reveals that she'll pretend to find out she's barren and then adopt an orphan, but Zoila doesn't like the idea of a kid being brought into this. Genevieve believes herself to be a wonderful mother, but this is only because nobody's told her that Remi is really in rehab, and Valentina stops her mother from doing so when she almost throws this in Genevieve's face. Zoila later accidentally spills the beans when she reveals that Genevieve's father died during the Korean war in the 50s, and Alfred demands to know his fiancée's real age. Once he does, he leaves her, and Zoila tries apologizing to her boss but points out that it's for the best because Genevieve was lying about being in love with him anyway. However, Genevieve assures that she liked Alfred for more than just his money, while Valentina tends to the old man as he prepares to move out. Their conversation leads to Afred agreeing stay with Genevieve if they can use a surrogate to bear them a child... but he wants to use Valentina's eggs to make the baby. ("Minding the Baby")
Genevieve leaves Alfred, to care for her son. ("Scrambling the Eggs")
Zoila is sat down by Genevieve, who's ordered sandwiches for the occasion. She proceeds to explain that Alfred has decided not to leave her and that the two of them are going to use a surrogate to bear them a child... but they still need eggs, and they don't want to use a stranger's. Zoila thinks that her employer is about to ask for one of her eggs, but in fact Genevieve and Alfred want Valentina's, and Zoila is even more disgusted. She refuses to allow Valentina to hear a word about this, but Alfred proceeds to convince her away. Zoila goes to Genevieve and orders her to talk Valentina out of it, but Genevieve wonders what the problem is, finally learning that Zoila fears the idea of her grandchild having her as a mother. Genevieve argues that Remi turned out beautifully, but Zoila points out that he's got problems that she can't even see, then finally admitting to her that her son has been using again and is in rehab. Genevieve realizes that she can't have another child while her existing one is in distress, and so she decides to go and visit him to show her support. Before she does, she talks Valentina out of the deal and Alfred says that he must leave her. He points out that she doesn't seem too sad to see him go, but Genevieve announces that it's not about her anymore. Meanwhile, Zoila decides to sell the ring Genevieve gave her to pay for Valentina's tuition. ("Scrambling the Eggs")
Genevieve agrees to have dinner with her ex. ("Hanging the Drapes")
Valentina is worried that Remi might be mad at her as she, Zoila and Genevieve prepare to welcome him home from rehab. Zoila tells her daughter that if he's mad at her for doing the right thing then he's too stupid to love; luckily, when Remi returns along with his father Philippe, he approaches Valentina and he thanks her for saving his life, then kissing her. He and Valentina finally attempt a relationship, and when Valentina fears she'll only be seen as a maid to Remi, Zoila convinces her to quit working for Genevieve. Meanwhile, Philippe approaches his ex-wife and invites her out to dinner with him. Genevieve is suspicious of his intentions but ultimately agrees, though she does promise to stab him in the neck with her fork should he spend his time staring at a pretty waitress. The two of them, along with Remi and Valentina, later attend a party hosted by the Stappords who announce that they are pregnant. Celebrations are had, but this goes interrupted when Michael's former wife, Olivia Rice, is seen having hanged herself outside of his home, trying to kill herself. ("Hanging the Drapes")
Philippe and Genevieve announce they're getting remarried. ("Cleaning Out the Closet")
Genevieve is startled when Zoila arrives in the middle of the night, and the latter soon realizes that her employer has a man over. She wonders who it is she's sleeping with, and then she's shocked to discover that it's Philippe Delatour, her ex-husband who's also a serial cheater. Zoila reminds her boss of all that he put her through, only for Genevieve to reveal that it's too late because she's already fallen back in love with him. In order to prove that he's still his old self, Zoila has her friend Margo Grayson pretend to be dropping off some wine for him; she flirts a little and Philippe ends up giving her his personal number, just like Zoila knew he would. Genevieve and Philippe have an announcement to make though, and Valentina is the only one to cheer when the two of them reveal that they're getting remarried. Zoila refuses to toast because a toast is a blessing and she will not bless this man. She tells Genevieve about Margo, but later, Zoila is surprised to hear that Genevieve plans on going through with the wedding; she wonders how she's supposed to work there knowing that Philippe is hurting her friend, but Genevieve tells her to not care as much, leading Zoila to realize that her boss wants her to just shut up and do her job. ("Cleaning Out the Closet")
Evelyn is convinced to host the Delatours' engagement party. ("Getting Out the Blood")
Zoila has the maids over where they go about discussing the events currently taking place in their lives, but Zoila is called away by Genevieve who reveals she's found a gray hair. Zoila wonders what the relevance of this is, but she then states that it's in her wig, leaving her very confused. Later, Genevieve meets with Evelyn Powell, who she asks to host her and Philippe's engagement party, as they'd rather not have it at home with all the current family drama going on. Evelyn reluctantly agrees to host the party before going on to ask about her friend's sex life, wondering if the passion is still there or if things are merely comfortable, as she is currently experiencing problems in her own sex life with her husband Adrian. Genevieve explains that Philippe is insatiable, making Evelyn very jealous, and soon she starts working on dividing her and her husband's assets, believing she deserves better than Mr. Powell. Meanwhile, Zoila convinces Remi to leave for Africa without telling Valentina or Genevieve. ("Getting Out the Blood")
Genevieve's engagement party ends with a splash. ("Totally Clean")
As Genevieve continues the preparations for her wedding, word soon gets out that Remi has left for Africa, as Zoila delivers she and Valentina handwritten notes explaining his departure. They remain oblivious as to why Remi left without telling them, and Zoila continues to go along with the ruse of not knowing. Meanwhile, Philippe is now being suspected by Marisol Duarte as Flora Hernandez's killer, and so he wishes to flee the country with Genevieve, preferably Brunei where they lack an extradition treaty. They agree to have their engagement party at the Powells, then elope and leave for their extensive honeymoon. At the party, Zoila is among the maids who band together to expose Philippe, and so Zoila works to keep Genevieve away from her soon-to-be-husband(-again) as Marisol gets Philippe alone. During the party, Genevieve converses with Evelyn and Adrian some, and even gets a few words in to the crowd. Carmen "accidentally" spills a tray of drinks on her dress though, causing Zoila to take her aside to clean her up. She later becomes desperate to find Philippe as they need to get ready to leave, but remains oblivious to the fact that Marisol is currently confronting him, but when she fails, the Powells wind up murdering him themselves, but make it out to be suicide. Upon poisoning him, Adrian shoves him out the window where he lands in the pool, right before Genevieve who lets out a horrific scream upon the sight. ("Totally Clean")

Taking this as innuendo, Genevieve wakes naked in Peter's apartment, leading to an awkward moment when he returns home along with Marisol, with whom he's on a date. Genevieve meets with Marisol and points out that the two of them are friends, and friends don't date friends' exes; as such, she'd like her to stop seeing Peter but, after realizing just how great he is, Marisol realizes that she cannot do it and she pays Genevieve a visit to tell her in person that she has no intention of backing off. While Genevieve takes it well at first, as soon as Marisol is out of her house she tells her that this means war, before slamming the door in her face. ("Another One Wipes the Dust")
Marisol fights Genevieve's fire with fire, instigating a truce. ("War and Grease")
Marisol takes Peter to her favorite restaurant for a date only to be told that, thanks to Genevieve, she can no longer eat there. Genevieve herself has a table and invites Peter to join, pretending Marisol is invisible, and as they leave the restaurant Peter encourages his girlfriend to just ignore his ex-wife's attacks... at which point Marisol's car arrives with the word "WHORE" branded across the windshield. Marisol later meets with the girls; apparently Genevieve is friends with her waxer as well and so she just got a "revenge wax", to the horror of Zoila and Carmen. While Carmen thinks Marisol should start getting even with Genevieve, Zoila reveals that the reason she wants Peter back so badly is because she never got over him after he just left her out of the blue with no explanation or goodbye. This confuses Marisol, who later learns that Peter left because he found out Genevieve cheated on him. He continues to suggest that Marisol simply ignore Genevieve but, with her maids getting fired from their jobs, Marisol can no longer do that, and instead decides to take Carmen's advice and fights fire with fire. One of the maid's sisters, Astrid, has just started working at Genevieve's salon. Marisol sends her regards when she has Astrid take control of Genevieve's hair and dye it green, to the old woman's horror, and then Genevieve shows up at Mariol's house to tell her that she crossed a line. Marisol reveals that Peter knows Genevieve cheated on him and points out that he would never get back together with her, proceeding to wonder why Genevieve is acting so desperate anyway since men have always come and gone in the past and she's been fine. Genevieve says that she had Zoila then, who was her constant, and without her she feels lost. Marisol expresses her sympathies, assuring that Zoila just needs time, and a truce is called on the "war". ("War and Grease")
Genevieve finds a new best friend, who gives her something special... ("Sweeping with the Enemy")
Genevieve has her hair fixed by her new hairdresser, Fabian, and reveals that she's been depressed ever since her housekeeper/best friend, Zoila, left her life. Fabian encourages her to befriend her new maid Rosie. Genevieve tries to do just this by inviting Rosie to dinner, but right now Rosie must go and visit Spence in prison, promising to dine with her employer the next night. However, as she's snooping around her other employer Shannon's bedroom, she has to hide under the bed when Shannon returns home unexpectedly, proceeding to have sex with Ben while unknowingly atop Rosie. Rosie hears Ben mention something called "The Circle", nearly getting caught when her phone goes off because Genevieve is on the other end. Being trapped under the bed means Rosie misses her dinner plans, and Genevieve, who went to a real effort to make things nice for her maid, is crushed. She decides to call someone else over and when Rosie returns home to apologize, Genevieve has already found a new best friend in her "hair magician" Fabian. Later, Genevieve and Fabian continue bonding and he wants to introduce her to her friends, convincing her to read a book about "The Circle". It appears to be some sort of cult. ("Sweeping with the Enemy")
Rosie is helped to uncover the next layer of the mystery: a cult. ("A Time to Spill")
Fabian and Genevieve return home from the ballet and he asks her if he read that book her leant her yet, and, to his disappointment, she reveals she hasn't gotten around to it yet. He forgives her though, wanting to see her again at some point during the week, and their interaction ends with him passionately kissing her. Naturally, she is shocked, having assumed that Fabian was gay, and later she brings this matter to the attention of Rosie, who made the same assumption. Genevieve wonders if it's possible that she's so beautiful that she turned Fabian straight, but Rosie doesn't see that as viable, then pointing out that the only thing that matters is whether or not Genevieve is attracted to him. She is not, and so later, when she is on a "date" with Fabian, she makes clear that she believed their relationship to be just friendly. He says that it was, at first, but it's since evolved into a romance; he doesn't see himself as gay, but rather, sexually fluid, for each human being is a special soul worthy of love. Genevieve isn't interested in having a relationship with him, but he believes that if she read that book he gave her she'd get it. She reveals that she tried to read it and found it boring, which he finds incredibly insulting; he says that the reason the ideas of "The Circle" didn't resonate with her is because they're new, and she's old, and then he storms out. Genevieve goes on to try and get rid of all mementos of her relationship with Fabian, catching up with Rosie in the process, and Rosie reveals that she's been investigating a mysterious man named Ben who's involved with something called "The Circle". It's then that Genevieve shows Rosie the book Fabian gave her, which she believes is the work of some sort of cult. ("A Time to Spill")
Genevieve tries infiltrating the cult. ("The Maid Who Knew Too Much")
Rosie summons Fabian to the Westmore house in an attempt to join "The Circle", though he refuses to have her because she isn't rich or famous, telling her that the people who join include the likes of Peri Westmore. She proceeds to have Genevieve try and join them so that she can help her learn the truth behind Peri's murder, at first trying to trick her into it and then learning that her employer would be happy to help as a spy, and later Genevieve tells Fabian that she read his book and wants to join The Circle. He is excited by this, though first he has to film her doing a lie detector test as a part of the initiation, asking her things such as her real age and weight, and Genevieve later tells Rosie that the test practically broke her. Rosie realizes that there must be a recording somewhere of Peri doing the same test, meaning her secrets were on video, and Genevieve's video is subsequently given to Frances - the cult's leader - who is very happy to have her as a new member, having never thought that they could get someone as high profile as she. ("The Maid Who Knew Too Much")
All is finally forgiven... ("Blood, Sweat and Smears")
Genevieve is happy to learn from Rosie that Zoila was worried about the prospect of her joining a cult, and so she formulates a plan to get her previous maid to swoop in and rescue her. Adrian later meets with Zoila though decides to leave so that she can talk to Genevieve, who keeps trying to call her; first, however, he arranges to have drinks with her later that evening. When Zoila finally answers her phone, she is shocked to hear that Genevieve is getting married, rushing over to the Delatour mansion where she learns that her former friend plans on marrying Fabian, a gay man from the cult she's in. Zoila doesn't believe that Genevieve could be so stupid as to actually go through with it, and then realizes that this is all a trick to get her to return. She vows never to forgive Genevieve for what she did. She goes on to meet Adrian for drinks though, and, when he asks what happened between she and Genevieve, she explains that she lost a baby and blames her former employer for making the wrong choice. Adrian understands completely, having blamed Evelyn for the death of Barrett, but ultimately convinces his friend that it's better to let go and forgive than to hold on to your anger and simply be miserable. As such, Zoila returns to Genevieve and tells her that she's decided to forgive her, and Genevieve is utterly overjoyed to be reunited with her best friend. ("Blood, Sweat and Smears")
Genevieve unveils Marisol's brief affair to Peter. ("I Saw the Shine")
The incredibly handsome Jesse is hired to be Genevieve's personal trainer and she attempts to seduce him a little, only to be declined due to his love life being such a mess at the moment. He explains that he was recently dating someone who went out of town and then he proceeded to have sex with his ex. Genevieve understands, and later she meets Zoila for lunch, giving her some advice on how she could go about breaking up with her new boyfriend Kyle. She then mentions Jesse, who Zoila knows to be the ex-boyfriend of Marisol, and Genevieve realizes that Marisol must be the ex Jesse recently slept with - meaning Marisol cheated on Peter. Wanting to throw a spanner into the works of her rival's relationship with her former husband, Genevieve goes down to Peter's office to tell him that a "little birdie" informed her of Marisol and Jesse getting back together. Peter assures that her little birdie is wrong, but still Genevieve is able to sow his mind with doubt, making him paranoid that perhaps Marisol really did cheat on him. ("I Saw the Shine")
Marisol helps Genevieve realize a trauma she's suffered. ("Much Ado About Buffing")
While Rosie worries about a problem Miguel is having at school, Genevieve is busy planning the next meeting of her book club, during which only one member actually wants to talk about the book while all the other ladies simply want to gossip and drink during the day. They get more than they bargained for when Marisol turns up, knowing that Genevieve told Peter about she and Jesse, and a confrontation ensues in front of everyone. Genevieve acts sweet in response, which Marisol outs as a cover she uses to stop people from realizing that she's just a self-absorbed, petty and ruthless bitch, claiming that that's why she'll end up alone. Genevieve is very hurt by these comments and goes to Rosie for assurance that what Marisol said isn't true; however, Rosie is too busy convincing Miguel to apologize for those he wronged if he wants to make things right at school, which Genevieve takes onboard for herself. As such, she turns up at Marisol's and says she's sorry, explaining that she gets a little crazy when it comes to Peter because she never wanted to break up with him, having only cheated on him by accident. Marisol wonders how that works and Genevieve explains that she blacked out after half a cocktail while talking to one of his colleagues at a party, and the next thing she knew she was waking up in his bed. Marisol says that one doesn't black out after half a cocktail, theorizing that perhaps this man slipped something into Genevieve's drink, which Genevieve herself always wondered about. Marisol tells Genevieve that what happened to her was rape. Genevieve never thought of it this way because nobody called it that back then; and besides, nobody would believe her if she claimed such a big Hollywood name raped her. Marisol believes her though, and won't breathe a word, though she does wish to know who the rapist was. Genevieve reveals it was Hugh Metzger. ("Much Ado About Buffing")
Genevieve decides that, after all her husbands, she needs a wife. ("Grime and Punishment")
Genevieve decides to go to therapy following the revelation that she was in fact raped by Hugh Metzger and, in the waiting room, she meets a fellow Beverly Hills socialite by the name of Lori. She is there because she's getting over a two-year-old break up, which Genevieve can relate to, having carried a torch for Peter for twenty years. The two of them bond over the complementary champagne and when Lori hears Genevieve's full story, she calls Peter a real "a-hole" for leaving her after she was raped without bothering to hear what she had to say. Men behaving in such a way makes Lori glad she's a lesbian, which Genevieve is surprised to hear, though she soon understands the appeal when Lori lists off all the perks. Soon enough, Genevieve's appointment is ready, but she no longer needs it because chatting with Lori has been therapeutic enough. Later, Peter meets with Genevieve who wants to relay what an "a-hole" he is. While she finally accepts that things are over between them, she thinks it's wrong of him to toss Marisol aside the way he did with her, which he is currently doing, and convinces him not to let go of another great love. Later, after Spence's name is cleared and Zoila is fired by her new boss Fiona, Genevieve's old maid returns to her in need of her job back, and Genevieve is only too happy to oblige. She gives her her keys back, and makes her promise to hold onto them. However, they set a new rule that neither of them can meddle in one another's lives anymore, meaning Zoila does not question Genevieve's date with Lori. The rich woman points out that after all her failed husbands, maybe what she needs now is a wife, and Zoila is surprised by the news. ("Grime and Punishment")
Later Life
A year after their meeting, Genevieve and Lori are married. However, Genevieve is still as lonely and delusional as she used to. As she misses men, Genevieve decides to cheat on Lori, despite Zoila trying to save their marriage. Eventually, Lori ends their relationship and Genevieve is okay with it, while Zoila is saddened because she was close to Lori.[3]

In the penultimate turn, things don't look good at all. Both pincer movements have run into trouble, with the SS-Verfügungstruppe (SSVT) struggling with supply and coverage, and the rolling steel panzers scuppered by a single bridge outside of Meordijk. The rest of my infantry is embroiled in a marshland tussle that doesn't seem to be gaining or losing ground at all.
The inundation of the Polderland, whilst innovative as a defensive measure, seems to have been unecessary, because the Dutch resistance's push forward to meet my lines was so successful.
The SS-Verfügungstruppe (SSVT) and the SS-Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler (SSAH) have pushed as far forward as they could through Amsterdam onto Haarlem and using an engineer unit to hold Amsterdam whilst they try a two pronged movement southwards in a desperate attempt to secure Leiden.
Supply is choked against the coastline at the top of the marshland line, with a slow exertion southwards to force the Dutch coming up from Utrect back to where they came from.
The secure rear of Arnhem and Nijmegen finally makes a slight push forward but its all too little, too late. The 207th and 208th forcing themselves across the river past Wageningen. Withthe 254th tentatively shoving westwards under Tiel.
The late arrivers, the 526th Infantry zip down the rail lines towards S'Hertogenbosch.
Finally the biggest disappointment, and greatest shame to myself, is the 9th Panzer. Stuck at a crumbled bridge without a hope of traversing the river beyond Moerdijk. Their speed and brutal power nutered at a crucial chokepoint that I negelected to secure prior to their arrival. The Engineers have made it over the river, but haven't got the Engineer points to make the fix this turn. I fear it is too late in the offensive to get the panzers rolling again. Cunning sabotage of their watery crossings has defused my attack and the steel beasts have been caged.
The 9th Panzers supply is also in jeopardy, due to rogue motocycle troops making headway into my undefended rear and pose a threat to the captured Tilburg. The 56th, caught in their headlights making a play northwards to attempt to widen the supply lines, totally miss judges the Huzaren Motorcycle troops powersliding beneath them.
What now, for the final turn? Well, I doubt the panzers will get across the bridge, and I can't see my SS troops making their goals without coming up again more defensive Dutch resistance. So, we'll attempt some sort of clamour for points, but it looks like its all over for the German invasion.
