His Wife, His Rules

A billionaire's estate in the desert, with a pool, a fire pit and a guest casita, hosts Dana for the week that decides whether she becomes a vice president. She brings her fiancé Jake and tells him to be invisible. Marcus Voss welcomes them; his wife Vanessa says Jake will be well looked after. At the fire pit, Marcus notes that guests always look at Vanessa and usually deny it, then asks him a blunt question.

How bold it gets

A blunt proposition in the first episode and a sunscreen session with a top coming undone in the second. Flirting with a husband's blessing, nothing graphic shown.

Still open after episode 2

How far Jake plays Marcus's game, and whether Dana notices before her promotion is decided, is what the later episodes still have to answer.

Names you will hear: Jake, Marcus Voss and Vanessa.
