The Rich & The Ruthless

The Rich and the Ruthless owner, Augustus Barringer, does whatever it takes to protect his soap opera before network execs steal it from him. With the R&R cast in turmoil, it's "Lights, Camera, Calamity and Claws" on set.

The Rich and the Ruthless cast is furious that they are being kept in the dark and must shoot from the Barringer's Hollywood mansion indefinitely. Add to that threats of pay cuts. WHAT?! Jealousy and backbiting abound.

Adopted daughter, Veronica Barringer, show runner of Rich and the Ruthless is on the war path. Calysta wants to do a remote R&R shoot in Montego Bay with Derrick. Competing actress, Emmy Abernathy, is having an affair with Randall Roberts.

Randall and soap star wife, Alison scheme on how to make the Barringer's life hell. R&R's 8 year old matriarch gives advice to Calysta. Calysta and Derrick get in to a fight in hair and makeup room. Kitty confronts her husband, Augustus.

R&R has moved to Jamaica and is up and running, sort of. They recast Willie Turner's part with legendary Jamaican actor, Samuel Oliver. Calysta and Derrick make up. Calysta has a nightmare. Randall and Edith attempt to override Augustus.

The R&R team rushes back to Hollywood for a funeral. Kitty hires her bad-boy son, Maximillion "Max" Barringer without consulting anyone, to work on the show. Kitty makes a comeback. A game changer is in store for at least one Barringer. Cliffhanger.
