The Cleaning Lady season 1 episode 1, “TNT,” introduces us to the show’s protagonist, Reyna Salonga, a doctor turned cleaning lady who operates in the shadows of the criminal underworld. We learn early on that she is wanted by the police for her involvement in a recent bombing, but her motivations and alliances remain shrouded in mystery.
As the episode begins, we see Reyna in action, meticulously cleaning up the aftermath of a bloody hit for her boss, Arman, a ruthless crime boss who has taken Reyna under his wing. She works quickly and efficiently, calmly disposing of evidence and wiping down every surface until the room is spotless. It’s clear from the way she works that she’s no ordinary cleaning lady - she’s a pro.
But as soon as Reyna finishes her job, things take a turn for the worse. A group of armed men storm the building, looking for her. Reyna manages to escape, but not before a mysterious woman warns her that her life is in danger and offers her a way out. Despite her reluctance, Reyna ultimately decides to take the woman’s advice and start a new life somewhere far away.
However, Reyna’s past quickly catches up with her. As she’s preparing to leave town, she’s ambushed by the same group of men who were looking for her earlier. They beat her severely and leave her for dead in a motel room. But Reyna is tougher than she looks - she manages to pull through and starts plotting her revenge.
With nothing left to lose, Reyna sets out to take down Arman and all of his connections. She teams up with the mysterious woman from before, who turns out to be a hacker named Emily, and together they start unraveling the web of lies and deceit that Arman has woven around himself.
As the episode comes to a close, we see Reyna and Emily hacking into Arman’s computer system and discovering some major dirt on him. They plan to use this information to bring him down once and for all, but it’s clear that this is only the beginning of their journey.
Overall, “TNT” sets up The Cleaning Lady as a sleek, action-packed thriller with a badass female protagonist at the helm. Reyna is a complex character with a troubled past and a hunger for revenge, and it’s clear that we’ve only scratched the surface of what she’s capable of. If this first episode is anything to go by, The Cleaning Lady is going to be one wild ride.
