Molly Kagan returns to the small screen to begin a new chapter in her life with the new season of The Starter Wife, premiering tonight at 10/9c on the USA Network.

At the same time, problems with the divorce settlement drove Molly to find the strength to claim what's rightfully hers and take charge of her own life.
Read on to find out what's in store for the two-hour season premiere of The Starter Wife.

During the second season of Ugly Betty, we saw a lot of developments involving the relationships of several characters on the show. Betty (America Ferrera) herself had to make some life-changing decisions, while her sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) moved on from the death of Santos (Kevin Alejandro), the father of her flamboyant son, Justin (Mark Indelicato). Moreover, we saw Hilda heating things up with Coach Diaz, played by Eddie Cibrian.
However, just when you thought you’ll have some more eye candy in the form of Coach Diaz, the face behind the hot new Hilda squeeze is said to be heading to another show! In fact, EW reports that Eddie Cibrian was recently recruited into the USA network’s The Starter Wife, where he is to play a detective investigating some suspicious events in Molly’s (Debra Messing) life. Cibrian is set to appear on the show for the three-episode arc.
