Joss (Jes Macallan) appears to be ready to raise the white flag in the upcoming episode of ABC's sexy mystery drama "Mistresses."

In "Reasonable Doubt," ABC reports that the blonde-haired mistress is now considering whether to take a plea bargain for the murder of Luca (Noam Jenkins). She remains undecided, however, as she worries about what this will mean for her and Harry's (Brett Tucker) future together. Harry has been a staunch defender of Joss, continuing to pine for her as she spends time in prison. Last episode, he finally got to visit her. Will they ever have that happy ending someday?

Meanwhile, Calista (Jennifer Esposito) appears to finally realize the pain that she has been causing, not only to Joss, but to the people around her. She will reportedly make her next move, but it remains unclear whether it involves admitting the crime and absolving Joss. The police has her by the neck after discovering the incriminating video connecting her to the death her husband. Is this another one of her ploy to avoid getting imprisoned, or a sincere attempt to make up for her sins?

Elsewhere, Karen (Yunjin Kim) will agree to keep Vivian's (Sonja Bennett) secret from Alec (Ed Quinn). This is because she wants him to accept a very important award without the knowledge that his wife is cheating on him. Last episode, Karen caught Vivian with another man. Although the latter told her he was just as old friend, Karen did not buy it. The encounter also made her reconsider the couple's suggestion to raise their baby together as a modern kind of family.

As for April (Rochelle Aytes), she and Marc (Rob Mayes) had established a sort of understanding between them. Last episode, the hot momma broke up with Blair (Brian White) after the latter discovered she slept with her ex-boyfriend. When she got home, Marc was there and they ended up talking about their lives. In the upcoming episode, Marc's sister will be paying them a surprise visit. What can her arrival mean for the two? Marc is obviously attracted to April, and his sister is bound to see that. Will she encourage Marc or tell him to quit before he gets in too deep?

"Mistresses" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
