On the last episode of Dirty Sexy Money called “The Silence,” there was this memorable line from Karen (Natalie Zea): "I've been married four times, even I have shame."

Last episode opened with Nick (Peter Krause) and Lisa (Zoe McEllan) in couples counseling where they talked about their problems, mainly the lack of sex in the relationship.  The therapist's response: at least they were being honest with their unhappiness, as if that counted. Meanwhile, Andrea (Sheryl Lee) and Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald) were screaming at each other while Brian Jr. (Will Shadley) sat there watching.  More couples: Jeremy and Nola were at it in some fancy shower until he asked for a favor to get his mom to Patrick's campaign party.  The show also ends with yet another therapy session. And yeah, perfectly timed for our national election, Patrick has won.

According to ABC official synopsis of tonight's Dirty Sexy Money episode, entitled "The Verdict," Nick George's struggle in court continues with some fresh air after discovering Nola Lyons' dirty secret that can be used against the prosecutor.”  Nick, of course, is defending Letitia Darling (Jill Clayburgh) in a murder case with Nola on the other side of the court. Just what this little secret is, you have to tune in tonight.  Also, Nick will learn from Karen Darling about her marriage plan with the family nemesis Simon Elder.  Karen then asks Nick to tell Tripp Darling about the marriage. Meanwhile, Tripp tries to use his power to affect Patrick Darling in choosing his chief of staff. Finally, Brian Darling and Andrea Smithson will get some shocking news after a visit to the doctor.

In related news, Joel Madden, lead vocalist for the band Good Charlotte and Nicole Richie's boyfrind, will make an appearance on tonight's episode where he'll play himself.  Madden will be attending the opening of Lisa's art gallery.  He'll also have some surprising news to Nick.
