‘Star’ Season 1 Spoilers: Episode 9 Synopsis Released; What Will Happen In ‘Alibi’? [VIDEO]

When things finally seemed to be falling into place on “Star” the group now must face consequences after covering up Otis’ murder.

“The Otis (Darius McCrary) murder wreaks havoc on the beauty salon and threatens to destroy the family,” the synopsis for episode 9, “Alibi,” teases. Otis’ murderer has yet to be revealed on the Fox drama but now that the police are involved, the truth may come out.

In the “Star” episode 9 promo, the group can be seen on edge as the cops search through Carlotta’s (Queen Latifah) salon looking for evidence in the murder.

Later on, Simone (Brittany O’Grady) can be seen getting dragged away by police officers. Did she kill Otis or is she getting removed from the house because she is minor? In an earlier episode on the Fox series, Otis came to take Simone back to her foster home but was killed before he could follow through with his plan.

“Additional information about Carlotta’s troubled past is uncovered,” the synopsis also states. In the promo, Carlotta can be seen sitting at the kitchen table looking as if a big secret has been revealed. She is later taken away in handcuffs and asks if she needs a lawyer.

“Jahil (Benjamin Bratt) faces an ultimatum,” the synopsis teases. Jahil buried Otis’ body but will he have to reveal the truth to save someone else? In the promo, Jahil calls Star when he sees all the cops at Carlotta’s hair salon. Will he run away or admit to hiding the body?

“Cotton (Amiyah Scott) moves out,” the summary continues. Last viewers saw of Cotton, she was considering killing herself after Pastor Harris (Tyrese Gibson) forced her to say she was a man. The gun she was going to use to end her life looked similar to the one found by police in the episode 9 promo.

Despite her emotional episode, Star managed to talk her out of it and Cotton realized that her environment was affecting her. Maybe she decided it was time for a change?

Let’s not forget that Cotton’s new guy Elliot (Jack Yang) accepts her for who she is and he’s pretty rich. Maybe it’s time to take their relationship to the next level?

“Star” Season 1 airs on Wednesdays at 9:01 p.m. EST on Fox.
