Character History

Behind Locked Doors

• Lilith, in a prison guard's uniform, explains that prison can be a very scary place and asks what a spoiled Hollywood actress can do when thrown in with the prison guards. She even states that Lacey Rivers is going to rely on her acting skills and is about to give the performance of her own life.
• Lilith later states that we can always be treated to a happy ending when watching any Lacey Rivers movie. She also comments about Lacey discovering that real life rarely turns out like a family film.

Bad Medicine

• Lilith, in a nurse's uniform, states that all superheroes have story of origins, but femme fatales are cut from similar cloth. She also says that empowered and dangerous women embrace it according to their nature, and that the essence of a femme fatale may be waiting for fate to set her loose.
• Later, while having a conversation with Nurse Violet MacReady at the Cuesta Verde Hospital, Lilith hands her a letter which reads that her transfer to the day shift was denied by her boss.
• At the end of the episode, Lilith says that Violet MacReady has blossomed into a femme fatale in charge of her own destiny, and administering her own dose of bad medicine.

Something Like Murder

• Lilith states that a gold-digger was using a shovel, that the taste of evil smells like honeysuckle, and that there's a distinct murder smell in the air.
• A short time later, while posing as a secretary working for Charles McKendrick, she greets his wife Darla, who becomes very concerned about her husband's well-being.
• At the end of the episode, Lilith states that there's no way to make money in this economy, unless we're like Elena Machado, who just got a big severance package.

Speed Date

• Lilith states that we all lie about our daily routines, and that video game designer Kevin Freeman discovers that when his fantasy becomes reality, his network of lies may get him into a lot of trouble.
• Later, while posing as a restaurant waitress, Lilith tells Kevin Freeman that his credit card was declined, and it was traced by agents. When secret agent Alexis pays Lilith a tip and tells her that she wants Raven's men to come for her and Kevin Freeman, she replies by saying that she'll tell the men about Alexis and Kevin going to the moon.

The White Flower

• Lilith states that money is the root of all evil, and when two men discover that fate points them in their direction, the harbinger of doom may come in a beating deceptive heart. She concludes by bequeathing us the white flower.
• Later, while posing as a flower florist, Lilith arrives at Jimmy's apartment with a bouquet of white flowers for Mrs. Stanwyck, only to discover from Barbara that there's no one by that name.

Girls Gone Dead

• Lilith, in a school girl's uniform, states that the brain stops maturing by the time we're into our twenties, which is why we go away to college, and that we're able to make intelligent choices. She also states what happens to those whose brains are not mature enough to make their own choices, and warns us not to understand concepts like consequences and a charming cameraman.
• Later, while making an appearance on TV, Lilith cleverly explains how cameraman Jay Roma and his assistant Kip died at the hands of Tiffany and the college girls, whose names are variations of the mythical Greek goddesses.

Haunted

• Lilith states that this house would be for sale right now if it wasn't haunted, and asks us if we could even spend one night in such a place with some kind of reputation.
• Later, before disappearing into thin air, Lilith states that the next girl we meet may turn out to be the ultimate femme fatale.

Angel & Demons

• Lilith, in a police uniform, states that the animal kingdom is a violent and dangerous domain, and that man has been known to kill for pleasure. She also says that we live in a world populated by angels and demons.
• Later, while posing as a cigarette girl, Lilith tells police detectives Janet Wright and Carter Judson that she saw someone called the Grim Reaper and some guy leave for a hotel named the Excelsior.

Help Me, Rhonda

• While feeding a beautiful horse named Tango, Lilith states that Camille Gardner is a woman who got married too soon, and is living an unimaginable life with an abusive husband and an aimless existence. She also states that Camille's world is going to get a lot worse.
• Later, while posing as a police detective, Lilith informs Camille Gardner that her house has been under surveillance for a month and she places her under arrest for the murder of her husband. When Lilith asks Camille where Rhonda Temple is hiding, she tells her that she does not know where Rhonda is.

The Clinic

• Lilith, in a doctor's uniform, states that we want to believe that we're going to live forever, and also warns us what happens when we discover that the lives we're leading have expiration dates, as Logan Cale would soon discover for himself.
• Later, Lilith informs us that the next time we're sick in bed and that we need to resort to desperate measures for a cure, we should all get a second opinion.

Till Death Do Us Part

• While in a one-piece swimsuit and sarong and on vacation in Hawaii, Lilith states that it's Rachel Worth's wedding day, and that the corpse in bed is not the man she was planning to marry. But nevertheless, Rachel has only six hours to solve a murder case that threatens to ruin her wedding day before she discovers a new meaning to the phrase, "Till death do us part". While Lilith is talking, she walks up the steps to the top of a diving rock overlooking a swimming pool and takes off her sarong. When she finishes commenting, she dives into the water and swims.
• Later, while posing as a real-estate agent, Lilith shows Rachel Worth and her friends a brand new house with an entertainment area, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a trampoline and gives them the key to the house. But she comes back the next morning to see how Rachel and her friends are doing and that when Cam arrives and complicates things, Lilith warns Cam's sister Kim what will happen to her if and when her brother finds out what's going on.
• At the end of the episode, while being refreshed from swimming with her hair wet and her hand gently stroking the water, Lilith states that she doesn't blame Rachel Worth or Cam for throwing caution to the wind on their own wedding day, and asks us whether we marry for love or money. She finally says that luckily, Rachel Worth doesn't have to choose.

Visions (1)

• Lilith, in a magician's costume, states that mentalism is a performing art whose practitioners demonstrate many mental abilities, and that Foster Prentiss, otherwise known as the Amazing Mysterium, does not possess such a skill and is a total fraud. She also states that Foster will get what he wants and must put on a performance of his life, which could also be his last.

Visions (2)

• When Tiffany asks Violet MacReady what she's going to do, Lilith appears and replies by telling the two to make Foster Prentiss pay for what he did. She also tells them that they were wronged by men in their own pasts. When Tiffany asks Lilith what this is about, Lilith says that Foster Prentiss killed a girl named Tara, and that Tiffany and Violet are going to kill him; that way the two won't worry about anyone finding out their secrets. As she bids the two goodbye, Lilith tells them that they forgot to thank her for the tickets to the show.
• At the end of the episode, Lilith tells us to imagine being murdered with no one the wiser, that a grieving mother would hope that we were still alive and what we'd do to get revenge and rest in peace. She also states that another body was found buried in the grave.

16 Minutes of Fame

• Lilith welcomes us to The Hot House, where six celebrities live in peace and resolve their own issues, and that we get to watch them interact and figure out their own dilemmas. She also states that most of the celebrities got eliminated for some reason. And, after introducing us to each of the six celebrities by name and purpose, she concludes by saying that things are really beginning to heat up in The Hot House.
• At the end of the episode, Lilith states that Bebe is about to become more famous, and that Angel Tomlin has learned the difference between fame and infamy. She even states that there's a film about Angel Tomlin in development, and there's a rumor that Natalie Portman is ready to play the role of the character.

Gun Twisted

• Lilith states that guns always have the power to symbolize control, virility and gratification, and that they also go by many names. She also states that obsessions with guns can lead us on a path to destruction.

Trophy Wife

• Lilith quotes the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned", and that Veronica Flood is about to be replaced by a younger and dangerous version of herself. She also states that the passage of time can change the rules, so Veronica is playing a survival game known as "Trophy Wife".
• At the end of the episode, Lilith declares that some scorned women are not that furious, and that love can be found in the darkest depths of our souls. She even states that Veronica and Gil have found one another in their own depravity, because even psychopaths do need love after all.

Extracurricular Activities

• Lilith, in a school girl's uniform, states that it's best not to have an affair with another woman's husband, and that institutions of higher learning have always been a dose of love activity between teachers and students. She also states that Professor Kelsey Williams is about to learn that it's impossible to stick to the lesson plan when manipulating with an impressionable mind to get what you want.
• At the end of the episode, Lilith states that a love-struck man can become a dangerous weapon whenever a woman uses love to get what she wants, but it can be sometimes be turned against us. She also states that Chaz learned everything that Professor Kelsey Williams taught him.

Killer Instinct

• Lilith, standing over the dead body of Davis Bennett, states that lethal things often come in pretty packages, as Davis learned at a great cost. She also states that Lauren Coleston is about to learn that the life of a professional assassin is about receiving pain as it is about dispensing it.

Bad Science

• Lilith, in an alternate universe, states that we look in mirrors every day, and that the reflection shows us what other people see. She also says that Matilda West has always been a force of nature, a woman who would do almost anything to survive a challenge. But even someone as beautiful, brilliant and tough as Matilda will meet her match in any world or universe.

Family Business

• Lilith states that love means never having to say that we're sorry, and that the person who wrote the phrase has never actually been in love. She also states that Devlin Grant is about to get more than he bargained for, in a battle which might cost him his own life.

Jail Break

• Lilith remembers Rafe Daniels, the prison guard at the Cuesta Verde women's penitentiary, and recalls how he tried romancing a girl at work, only to wind up with a backstabbing witch named Lacey Rivers. Lilith also states that given all the evidence, money, a gun and a dead body, Rafe might be under the spell of another femme fatale.

Crazy Mary

• Lilith states that Mary Mason just wanted her life back, but there's no safety when everyone thinks that you're crazy. She also states that things are about to get nuts at the Cuesta Verde Institute for the criminally insane.
• Later, Lilith informs us that we should be very nice to Mary Mason the next time we happen to cross her path.

One Man's Death

• Lilith states that Todd Voight is a very lucky man who is loved by two women, but his luck runs out and the two women are not only mourning his death, but also discovering all of his secrets.

Hell Hath No Furies

• Lilith states that the pleas for mercy from a woman named Lydia Gonzales have gone unheeded. Lydia tried to warn the judge that El Jefe could find her, no matter where she was. Lilith informs us that Lydia's warning is about to be proven true, and that the people of Cuesta Verde Precinct 13 are going to have a very bad Christmas.

Libra

• Lilith states that there's a line between fantasy and reality, and Dimitri Uzi Olesky paid a very heavy price to win the war against the Ryan mob. Now he is the boss of his Cuesta Verde, but an unexpected retribution will make Olesky pay for all his sins, and that the scales of justice tip one way or another.
• Lilith informs us that we all wear masks, and that they're not only for fun, but also for disguise or protection. There are all kinds of masks, and even though they're the faces of a stranger, we all love to try them on. And like Anya Olesky, we'll be able to find one that is a very perfect fit.

Quotes

Behind Locked Doors

• Lilith: Prison can be a very scary place – survival of the fittest and all that. What's a spoiled young Hollywood actress to do when thrown into the tank with all those sharks? Those are just the prison guards. No, Lacey Rivers is going to have to rely on her one skill she can count on – her acting. You don't get $5 million a picture without any talent. Behind these locked doors, our little Lacey is about to give the performance of her life.

• Lilith: Watch any Lacey Rivers movie, and you will always be treated to a happy ending. Well, poor Lacey. She's about to discover that real life rarely turns out like a G-rated family film. Karma can be such a bitch.

Bad Medicine

• Lilith: (in a nurse's uniform) All superheroes have a story of origin, from an awkward teenager that's bitten by a radioactive spider, a daring test pilot that's bestowed a very powerful ring, an alien from the planet Krypton that crash-lands on Earth. A femme fatale, you see, well, she's cut from similar cloth. Some women are born to be empowered and dangerous, and they embrace it according to their nature. Well, the essence of a femme fatale may be lying dormant, just waiting for fate to see her free.

• Lilith: (still in her nurse's uniform) Looks like Greg is in for an electrifying experience. And as for our sweet Nurse Violet, she's blossomed into quite a woman – a newly-minted femme fatale in control of her own destiny and administering her own dose of bad medicine.

Something Like Murder

• Lilith: Whenever you find a rich man, you are bound to find a gold-digger waiting to take him for everything he's got. Well, tonight, somewhere in these Hollywood hills, this gold-digger really was using a shovel. It's been said the taste of evil smells like honeysuckle. I wouldn't argue with that, but tonight, there is a distinct smell in the air and it smells like murder.

• Lilith: (as Lily, Charles McKendrick's secretary) Good afternoon, Mrs. McKendrick. Looking stunning as always, I see.

• Lilith: Poor Darla. She thought she'd planned the perfect murder, but greed makes suckers of all of us. There is no easy way to make money in this economy. Unless, of course, you're Elena Machado, a hard-working cleaning woman, who just got a very, very big severance package. I guess it's safe to say she won't be coming to work on Monday.

Speed Date

• Lilith: We all tell little white lies. We lie about our height, our weight, where we've been and where we're going. And tonight, video game developer Kevin Freeman is about to discover that when his fantasy turns into reality, honesty, in fact, may be the best policy as his little white lies get him into a world of trouble.

• Lilith: (as a restaurant waitress) I'm sorry, sir, but your credit card's been declined.

• Lilith: For this kind of tip, I'll tell them you went to the moon.

The White Flower

• Lilith: Money. It's been said it is the root of all evil. Well, tonight, in this seedy motel room, two men are about to find out that it's the devil's honest truth – that when the fickle finger of fate points in your direction, the most innocuous omen may be the harbinger of doom, and it may come in the most enticing package with a heart that beats of pure deceit. So tonight, I bequeath to you "The White Flower".

Girls Gone Dead

• Lilith: (in a school uniform) Psychologists believe that the brain does not stop maturing until we're well into our twenties. So what does that mean for a girl who's turned 18? Legally, she's an adult, yet she still has a brain that's... well, let's just say a brain that's not fully cooked. (giggles) I guess that's why you can say we go away to college. It's like an incubator. A place to keep our bodies safe and our brains baking. Until we're able to make informed intelligent choices. But what happens when our bodies are ready, willing and able, yet our minds are not mature enough to make these right decisions, especially when faced with a friendly smile and irresistible temptations like... a T-shirt, or worse, plastic beads? You can't expect a girl, whose body that's trying to catch up to its brain to understand concepts like consequences, particularly with a little booze involved, and some soft light, and a charming man with a camera.

• Lilith: (giggles) Luckily, most people can't speak Greek. If Kip or Jay did, they may recognize that Theta Alpha Nu are the first three letters of the word Thanatos. That's Greek for death. Clever girls. Jay Roma. Made his first million at the age of 25. Made his first hundred million by the age of 32. But, by 35, 20 million hits on his very last video. I guess these chicks are crazier than what he ever dreamed. And as the Greeks say – Kali nichta. Good night.

Haunted

• Lilith: Five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool, and a bonus guest house. This house would be a real steal, if it weren't haunted. But how could you prove that? Or disprove it? And would you live in a house with that kind of storied reputation? Would you even spend one night? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

• Lilith: Do you believe in ghosts or demons? Do you think it's possible for them to enter our world? Maybe the next time you meet a girl that seems too good to be true, she may very well be the ultimate femme fatale. (slowly fades away into thin air)

Angel & Demons

• Lilith: The animal kingdom is a fiercely violent domain. Animals kill for food, for territory, and for survival. But there is one animal that's known to kill for pleasure – man. We live in a world populated by angels and demons. You're about to meet both.

Help Me, Rhonda

• Lilith: You all know Camille Gardner – a beautiful woman who, like so many, got married too young, too soon. Well, now she's living a life she never imagined for herself with an abusive husband and aimless existence. Oh, and her world's about to get so much worse. Tango's beautiful, isn't she? Well, get ready, 'cause you're about to meet some animals that aren't nearly as pretty.

• Lilith: (as a police detective) Mrs. Camille Gardner? Do you know what this is? Your house has been under surveillance for the past month. So you are under arrest for the murder of your husband. Now do not lie to us. Things will go a lot easier for you. Start by telling us where we can find Rhonda Temple.

The Clinic

• Lilith: (in a doctor's uniform) Everyone wants to believe that they are going to live forever – that that tremor in their heart, the few extra pounds added over the holidays, and the labored breathing after a morning run are all perfectly normal. (chuckles) But what happens when you find out they're not? What happens when you realize the life you've been leading has an expiration date? What would you do to change that? Would you make the same choice that Logan Cale is about to make? And at what price?

• Lilith: They say home is where the heart is, and unfortunately, for Logan Cale, this was all too true, proving you can truly buy anything for the right price. And if there's a moral to tonight's story and you find yourself sick and bedridden and might need to resort to desperate measures for a cure, I make this very humble suggestion: get a second opinion.

Till Death Do Us Part

• Lilith: (in a one-piece swimsuit and sarong with a flower in her hair and a Hawaiian tropical drink in her hand) Aloha! I see you've met Rachel Worth. Poor thing. Can you believe it's her wedding day? Certainly not a very auspicious start. A bride needs something borrowed, something blue, but certainly not something dead. I guess the silver lining in all of this is the corpse is not the man she's planning to marry. But with her ceremony on a private beach near Waikiki looming in six hours, she best fix this little hiccup that's threatening her big day. (puts down her drink and walks up the steps to the top of a diving rock overlooking a swimming pool) Otherwise, there could very well be a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Till death do us part". (takes off her sarong, dives into the water and swims)

• Lilith: (still in her one-piece swimsuit and refreshed from swimming, her hair wet and her hand gently stroking the water) It's been said it's bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Although, after the day they've had, I don't blame Rachel or Cam for throwing caution to the wind. As for lessons learned, it's an age-old question for women: Do you marry for love or for money? (chuckles) Luckily, though, for Rachel Worth, today she doesn't have to choose. Mahalo.

Visions (1)

• Lilith: (in a magician's costume) Mentalism is a performing art whose practitioners demonstrate highly developed mental and intuitive abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and mind control. Foster Prentiss, the Amazing Mysterium, possesses no such skill. He is a complete and utter fraud. Unfortunately, there's nothing phony about murder. Foster will stop at nothing to get what he wants and must put on a performance of a lifetime. But maybe this time, the ruse is on him.

Visions (2)

• Lilith: You are going to make Foster Prentiss pay for what he did. That is what you are going to do.

• Lilith: I go by many names, but you can call me Lilith.

• Lilith: Men in our pasts have wronged us.

• Lilith: Foster Prentiss killed a girl once. And now you are going to kill Foster Prentiss. And in exchange for this task, you will never have to worry about anyone finding out your secrets again. You will be truly safe. And why the sad faces, girls? It's not like you haven't killed before.

• Lilith: Oh. You forgot to thank me for those tickets to the show. It's not like they arrived by magic, you know. Ta-ta!

• Lilith: (in a magician's costume) Imagine being murdered with no one the wiser. Only a grieving mother that held out fruitless hope that you were still alive. Imagine what you would do to get revenge and rest in peace. Now just imagine. And wouldn't you know it? They also found another body buried in the grave. I wonder whose?

16 Minutes of Fame

• Lilith: Welcome to The Hot House, where six celebrities with, shall we say, complicated histories live together in peace and harmony and resolve their issues like intelligent adults. Oh, that doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Perhaps rats on a sinking ship would be a much more accurate metaphor? Rats without access to cell phones or the internet. No windows, and all the doors sealed shut, under lock and key, as it were. And we, the lucky viewers, get to watch them interact 24-7, as they try and figure out their, oh, so fascinating dilemmas. Unlike some other Reality TV shows, no one in this house was meant to get voted off. However, in the end, most of them did get eliminated. Where did it all go wrong? Perhaps we should start by meeting our housemates. Tina Hendricks. Famous for, well, being famous. Her father runs a movie studio, so she has access to all the A-list parties. Her line of face creams and body scrubs, Tina's Essence, was selling well, but her true claim to fame was – oh, you guessed it. A love tape. Lucky Starr. Cute, isn't he? With a velvet voice to go with that adorable face. Third runner up on Superstar USA. Lucky's debut album dropped last Spring, then kept on dropping to the bottom of the charts. Rumor has it Lucky was the one who leaked his one-night stand with Tina online. A guy's gotta do what he can to stay in the public eye. Roger Reynolds, star of another popular reality show called The Catch. Roger caused quite a scandal when he proposed to not one, but two women in the show's finale. And no, he's not Mormon, just indecisive. Roger was engaged again, three weeks later, to Tina. But they're no longer together. Bebe. No last name; just Bebe. She's our resident party girl. Mouthy, obnoxious, and rarely sober. In other words, a hero to millions with more Twitter followers than Charlie Sheen and Ashton K combined. And also the reason why Tina and Roger are no longer an item. Pecs, trainer to the stars and half of the world's passionate love story. The other half being himself. And there's a long waiting list for Pecs' services, known as Celebrity Boot Camp. Because he's known for his killer workout, bound to get any Hollywood starlet back in shape. And finally, Angel Tomlin, the serious actress. The artist with the single-minded goal to win an Oscar before she turns 30. She has a way to go. Her last credit was Eat and Run, a direct-to-DVD zombie movie that you may have had the good fortune to miss. So she's a little bit anxious to up her game. And to do that, an actress's first priority must be getting back into tip-top shape. You got all that? Good. Because things are really starting to heat up in The Hot House.

• Lilith: Angel was right about one thing. Bebe is about to become more famous than ever, now that she has stolen Angel's juicy role as the lone survivor of a crazed killer. As for Angel, well, she's learned the difference between fame and infamy. Life is such a bitch that way. There's already a film about her in the works, and rumor has it Natalie Portman is ready to kill for the part. Perhaps she'll get another Oscar, or maybe that honor will go to her makeup artist.

Gun Twisted

• Lilith: Guns have always had the power to arouse. They symbolize control, virility, and gratification. They also go by many names. Maverick, Ice, Goose, Viper, Stinger, Slider, Tek, and Heartbreaker. Loving a gun is a lot like loving a femme fatale. Both obsessions can lead you on a path to destruction.

Trophy Wife

• Lilith: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when that woman is about to be replaced by a younger, deadlier version of herself. And for all the Botox, liposuction, and skin treatments a desperate housewife could buy, money cannot turn back the clock. It is the inevitable, inexorable passage of time that changes the rules. So now, Veronica's playing a new game, a game of survival, a game that I call "Trophy Wife".

• Lilith: Well, it looks like some scorned women aren't that furious after all. This one's for the first wives, for those women with the experience and the imagination younger women cannot even begin to know. For those women who know that love attraction isn't only to be found in soft, supple, young lips, smooth legs, and perfectly sculpted bodies, but in the mind, in the psyche, in the darkest depths of your soul. As for Veronica and Gil, it really is one of nature's majestic wonders that two people, unique in their romantic depravity, have found one another, because after all, even psychopaths need love.

Extracurricular Activities

• Lilith: When you're having an affair with another woman's husband, it's usually best not to do it directly under her nose. Institutions of higher learning have always been a hotbed of love activity. Teachers with teachers, students with students, and the perennial favorite, teachers with students. Professor Kelsey Williams is about to discover that when you toy with an impressionable mind to get what you want, sometimes it proves impossible to stick to the lesson plan.

• Lilith: Feminine wiles can be a tricky thing. When a woman uses love to get what she wants, she can easily turn a love-struck man into a dangerous weapon. Problem is, like any weapon, sometimes it can be turned against us. Unfortunately for Professor Kelsey Williams, she taught Chaz everything she knows.

Killer Instinct

• Lilith: Davis Bennett just discovered that lethal things often come in pretty packages. But the lesson cost him his life. In this case, looks really can kill. As for Lauren Coleston, well, she's also about to learn something, which is that the life of a professional assassin is just as much about receiving pain as it is about dispensing it.

Bad Science

• Lilith: We look in mirrors every day. The reflection back shows us what other people see. But it takes more than a mirror to see inside our souls. Matilda West has always been a force of nature, the type of woman who'll never back down from a challenge or take no for an answer. A woman who'll do almost anything to survive. But even someone as beautiful and brilliant and tough as Matilda will eventually meet her match in this world or the other.

Family Business

• Lilith: It was once said that love means never having to say that you're sorry. Apparently, the copywriter that coined the trite phrase has never actually been in love. For in fact, anyone who's ever been in love knows love means always having to say that you're sorry. Devlin Grant is a man who's about to be sorrier than he ever dreamed, and get more than he bargained for, in a battle in which the spoils of victory may very well be his own soul.

Jail Break

• Lilith: Remember Rafe Daniels? He works as a prison guard at the Cuesta Verde women's penitentiary. Most of the guards there have a reputation worse than the inmates they're supposed to be watching. But not Rafe. No; Rafe has a warm heart and a burning desire for true love. Unfortunately, it's hard to meet a girl you can take home to mother, when you work in a prison. It's definitely not a singles mixer. And the last time Rafe tried romancing a girl at work, well, let's just say he wound up with a real backstabber. One would've thought, after all that drama, Rafe would've learned his lesson. Oh, but it's not easy to ignore what the heart wants. And given all the evidence, stolen money, a gun, and at least one very dead body, well, one might assume that he is under the spell of yet another femme fatale.

Crazy Mary

• Lilith: Poor Mary Mason. She's just can't seem to catch a break. All she wants is her old life back. With a happy home and a man that loves her and keeps her safe and warm. Oh, but there is no safety when you're a lamb in a den full of wolves. Especially when everybody thinks that you're crazy. You may think things couldn't get any worse for our little daydreamer. Well, that's where you'd be wrong. Here at the Cuesta Verde Institute for the criminally insane, things are about to get, for the lack of a better word, a little nuts.

• Lilith: Looks like Crazy Mary's adventures are just beginning. If you should ever happen to cross her path, I suggest you be very, very nice to her.

One Man's Death

• Lilith: Todd Voight is a very lucky man. Successful, handsome, and loved by two beautiful women. But tonight his luck runs out. He leaves two women mourning his death and discovering his secrets. All of his secrets.

Hell Hath No Furies

• Lilith: (in a Christmas outfit) It looks like Lydia Gonzales's pleas for mercy have gone unheeded. Lydia did try and warn the judge that El Jefe could reach her, no matter where she would hide, and now, her warning is about to be proven all too true. It appears that Lydia Gonzales and the men and women of Cuesta Verde Precinct 13 are about to have a very, very bad Christmas. (chuckles)

Libra

• Lilith: It could be argued that there is a fine line between fantasy and reality. Dimitri Uzi Olesky just won his war against the Ryan mob. Oh, and he paid a very heavy price to do it. But all's fair in love and war, and for now, he is the undisputed crime boss of Cuesta Verde. Ironically, boss Olesky will pay for his sins, but retribution will come from a place he least expects it, for in the end, the scales of justice always tip one way or another.

• Lilith: We all wear masks – sometimes for fun and other times for disguise or protection. Some masks are steel. Some are satin. Some are silk, and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on. Hopefully, you'll find one that is a perfect fit. Anya Olesky did.
