Caray, Caray!

Paula and I exchanged nights this week so I am doing Tuesday's episode and she is doing Wedneday's.

We start where we left off yesterday - Lucas in the desert and Diego a crispy critter in the wreckage of the helicopter. A vase leaps off the shelf in front of Rosa, which seems to be sum of the psychic announcements of Diego's demise.

Albieri returns to his lab. He is told that Luisa is at his house taking care of Diego.

The fire trucks arrive at the crash site.

A caravan finds Lucas.

Semi-conscious, Lucas sees Diego's face in one the caravansieri.

This blue Bedouin head dress seemed familiar to me so I went back to the first episode and sure enough, there is Lucas on the camel ride that he, Albieri and Diego took when they first got to Morocco. At the time, I wondered why Lucas was wearing native dress. Even more interesting, this scene is labeled as taking place in the 'Sahara Desert, Morocco.' Albieri says that they need to get on a plane and the next scene is labeled as taking place in 'Fez, Morroco.' So, as is common in novelas, this distant place suddenly moved to a mere horseback ride from Fez. Tighten up your beanies, folks.

Albieri returns to his house. While he babbles to Luisa that they have enough knowledge to clone a human but no one will dare to do it, at least publically, because of the taboo, he finds Luisa's clothes in his closet.

Poor Albieri is embarrassed and doesn't know what to do. Luisa tells him that she felt that someone needed to take care of Diego and lies about having work done in her house. He tells Luisa that he will sleep on the couch in the living room. He says that he wants her to be comfortable. He leaves the house as soon as he can.

Zoraida, in a red outfit

that makes me think of the apple in the fruit of the loom guys,

helps Jade escape from the house. She goes to their meeting place but of course, Lucas isn't there. She waits. Lucas, meanwhile, is being carried on camelback.

When the caravan camps for the night, Lucas seems to be in convulsions [or he has the hiccups], calling for Diego.

Meanwhile, Jade waits for Lucas into the night.

Leo and Cristina are happy happy. Leo says that Diego is old enough to have his own life and he won't let Diego ruin the life that Leo is going to have with Cristina.

Rosa is crazy with worry about Diego after she finds out that he didn't make it to the party in Daytona.

Albieri is at a bar with Julio from the lab complaining that he feels like an alien in his own house with the feminine knick knacks Luisa has brought there. He finds out that Luisa lied to him about having work done in her house.

When Lucas never shows up, Jade has nowhere to go but back to Ali's.

Zoraida lets her in. Jade is devastated. She thinks that Lucas stood her up. Zoraida tells her that it is destiny and she is better off that it has happened now. Jade is sure that Lucas loved her. She tells Zoraida that if she can't marry Lucas, she won't marry anyone.

Luisa fusses over Albieri when he comes back from the bar. Finally he gets her to leave him alone.

Shacked up with Cristina, Leo still isn't answering the phone.

The police come to the house and tell Rosa that Diego died in the helicopter crash. She has to go and identify the body.

Ali returns home and asks to see Latifa and Jade. Latifa, who is watching the video of the telenovela again, is sure that her wedding has been called off and her whole life ruined.

We find out that Ali's bark is worse than his bite. He tells Jade that what happened was his fault because he didn't insist that Jade return to Morocco when her father died. He has decided that Jade and Latifa will marry on the same day. He tells Jade that her mistake was due to ignorance and he won't ruin Latifa's life and stain the good name of the family. He says that her punishment is over. He warns her that once she is married, she will belong to her husband's family and they may not be as benevolent as he is. Jade walks away without a word.

Once back in Latifa's room, Jade swears to Zoraida that she won't get married and no one can make her. Zoraida tells her that events have clearly shown that it is her destiny to marry and she can't stop it. Jade grabs the phone, calls Said [how does she know the number?] and tells him that he has been lied to. Once he knows the truth, she is sure that he won't want to marry her. She tells him that she has defects - hideous scarring from an accident with boiling water when she was a child. She also says that she has no teeth and can't laugh or her dentures will fall out.

Said, Mohammed and Nazira believe Jade and conclude that they were deceived by Ali. Of course, Said and Mohammed blame Nazira but she says that she was deceived as well. Once again, Mohammed refers to himself in the third person and laments that he has lost the gold he paid for Latifa. Said tells him that they are going to get the gold back from Ali right away.

When Ali asks who could say such lies about the women in his house, Said says that it was Jade. Jade and Latifa are summoned. Ali asks them who made the prank call to Said. Jade admits that it was her. Once Said sees Jade, he is not eager to call off the wedding. He has an idea - Nazira will inspect the girls for defects. Ali agrees. Nariza inspects Jade and Latifa including looking into their mouths like horses.

Zoraida smugly tells Nazira that she has to admit that the girls have no defects.

Osvaldo runs into his Mom's neighbor at the club and Dora finds out that in fact Osvaldo doesn't have any children and has been lying to her.

Albieri turns on the TV and finds out that Diego has been killed.

Rosa is taken by the police to the scene of the crash. She is sure that there has been a mistake until she is shown Diego's watch.

Leo comes home from his night of love and the staff of the lab are waiting for him. They tell him that Diego is dead.


The credits roll.
