Caray, Caray!

The goons drag Jade away. She screams at Lucas to stay away and for once the hero obeys the heroine and doesn't do anything to help her.

Cristina and Diego encounter one another outside of Leo's house. Leo comes out and Lucas gives him an ultimatum - if Leo wants him back, he has to get rid of the bimbo. Even though Leo wants to end it with Cristina, he won't take defiance from his son. He says that Cristina is staying. "Your choice," says Diego and leaves.

At the market, Zoraida tells Latifa that this is her chance to get out of the marriage. She doesn't have to accept the insult of Mohammed's inability to buy so much gold. Latifa thinks it over. She tells Zoraida that she might not get another man. She decides she doesn't need so much gold. Mohammed rejoices.

Dora is doing Luisa's nails.

We find out that Dora has always dreamed of having a baby and completing herself as a woman. With her house, her business and her savings, she can raise a child properly now. She believes that she is close to realizing her dream. Luisa also thinks that she is close to realizing her dream of starting a family. Dora says that she loves Osvaldo and wants him to be the father of her child. Luisa says that she loves Albieri and he loves her back but they have never even kissed. She thinks it will happen soon, though.

Leo and Cristina are driving. He tells her that it is over between them. Cristina plays her cards very cleverly. She insists on telling her version of what happened to Leo but not in the car. She persuades him to go to her place.

A furious Diego pounds on the door of Albieri's house. He tells Luisa that his father has rejected him. Diego says that as far as he is concerned, Leo can have Cristina. Luisa babbles about how men need companionship but Diego isn't paying attention.

The goons drag Jade back to Ali's house. Zoraida asks if she knows what she has done - now no one can help her. Latifa asks if it is true that she kissed a man on the lips. Jade admits it proudly and says that she won't be like the women here who have children but have never learned to kiss out of love. She says that she has found the man of her dreams and she won't marry Said. Latifa tells her that if Mohammed's family finds out what she has done, he won't marry her. When Zoraida leaves, Jade and Latifa start giggling.

Latifa wants to know all about what kissing a man on the lips is like. Latifa has never even seen a man kiss a woman in a video since such scenes are cut in local releases. Jade says it's no wonder Latifa obeys Ali, she doesn't know what she's missing. Jade tells Latifa how wonderful kissing is and shows her a video of same.

They sober up thinking about what Ali will do to Jade.

At the camel market, Ali gets the news that Jade was seen kissing a foreigner.

Cristina gets Leo into her house. He still doesn't want to hear her version of what happened and she continues to try and convince him to take her back by acting more and more desperate. Finally she dresses like a whore (not much change was needed) and tells Leo that she will become the woman he thinks she is. Thus attired, Cristina saunters down the street and accosts a guy while Leo watches from his car. He drags her away and ends up kissing her.

Ali comes back to his house in a fury. He curses Jade and says that she will never go out again and then he slaps her. Ali says that he will hunt down the man who defiled her to the ends of the earth. He demands to know the guy's name. Jade gives a false name and says that the guy was on his way out of town. Ali wants his address. Jade tries to protect Latifa and Zoraida by saying that she acted alone. Ali drags Jade to her room and says that she will never leave it again; she betrayed his trust, she is filthy, etc., etc.

Albieri tells Lucas that he regrets letting Leo go home alone and he is returning to Miami that night. Lucas says that he will stay. He asks Albieri for his friend Ali's number in case he needs him. Albieri writes Ali a note and gives it to Lucas.

Leo and Cristina return to her place and kiss passionately.

Diego is back at his father's house. Rosa tells him that Albieri is returning the next day. Diego is going to fly with his instructor to a party in Daytona and needs a shirt ironed. Diego sees some toys that Lucas doesn't want anymore and concludes that his twin is doing everything he can to be different from him.

Lucas wastes no time in bringing his letter of introduction to Ali's house. Latifa asks Ali what will happen when Mohammed's family finds out what Jade did. Ali prays for guidance on how handle the situation. Latifa sees Lucas arrive, which enables her to tell Zoraida about it. She also tells Zoraida that she is starting to like Mohammed more. Observed by Zoraida, Ali tells Lucas that he now has a family in Morocco and he asks Lucas to stay for dinner.

Zoraida brings Jade food and Jade says that she is tired of being locked up. [What has it been - an hour?] Zoraida tells her that Ali has been involved with the preparations for Latifa's wedding. Then she lets Jade know that the friend of Ali's godson is visiting. Zoraida realizes that Lucas is the man Latifa has been seeing. Latifa begs for Zoraida's help as a woman who knows what she is feeling. Zoraida confesses that she doesn't know. She has been a servant in Ali's house since she was eight. Years ago, a man wanted to marry her but she had to go to the States to take care of Latifa and there never was another. Jade ask Zoraida to help her run away to America with Lucas where they will get married immediately. Zoraida says that if Jade is caught, she will be kiled. She replies that would rather be killed than live the life her uncle wants for her. She says that she will kill herself if she can't be with Lucas. Zoraida tells Jade that Ali is going to Mohammed's house the next day to talk about her.

Ali is the gracious host to Lucas. He shows him how to eat according to local customs. He invites Lucas to his niece Latifa's wedding on the weekend. He tells Lucas that he has two nieces living in his house but he prefers boys. "When women are beautiful," he says, "we have no control over them." Zoraida calls Ali to the phone. She takes the opportunity to tell Lucas to wait for Jade in their regular place at 5pm the next day. Zoraida says that if Jade doesn't come, it means that her destiny is fulfilled and Lucas should go home and never return to this house. Lucas ask if that means Jade will be killed. Zoraida doesn't answer; she just pushes Lucas out the door.

Osvaldo spins a yarn for Dora about why he didn't show up at his appointment at the fertility clinic. She buys it but says that he has another appointment on Wed and he'd better not miss it or she is through with him. They dance.

Leo comes home smiling after being with Cristina. Rosa scolds him for driving Diego away and for letting Diego fly the helicopter. Leo reassures her that there is no danger. He has spoken to the pilot and Diego will never fly alone.

The next day Diego finds out that the pilot has appendicitis and isn't available for the flight to Daytona. Diego decides to fly there solo. Rosa is horrified and threatens to tell his father. But it's sex in the afternoon with Leo and Cristina and he doesn't answer the phone.

Now the intertwined threads of twin tragedy unfold. Diego takes off in the helicopter. Lucas waits for Jade in the ruins.

Jade is delayed. Diego runs into clouds that he has been told not to fly through. Lucas decides Jade isn't coming. He takes a horse and rides into the desert.

Diego flies into a storm. He loses control of the helicopter and crashes.

Lucas rides into a CGI sandstorm and is thrown from his horse.
