Taking a job at the Stappord house, while also working part-time for the Powells, Marisol eventually tracks down the true culprit, Philippe Delatour, and her son is exonerated.Three months pass by the time of the second season, and by then she has entered into a relationship with the mysterious Nicholas Deering. He quickly proposes marriage to her and they move in together, but Marisol can't quite shake there being something secretive about him... and his maid, Opal.
