Caray, Caray!

Here is my kitten, Wolfie, 'helping' me write my recap.

You could summarize this episode in two sentences: Latifa gets married and Lucas learns about Diego's death. But of course we won't leave it at that.

Ali tells Jade that he will feel more secure if she is in the US with Mohammed and Latifa. The foreigner could still be hanging around and she has slipped twice - it mustn't happen a third time. Little does Ali know that he is harboring the foreigner in his own house! When he leaves, Zoraida says that there is no fighting destiny.

Leo has his guards remove Cristina from in front of his car. She carries on. Rosa calls her a venomous snake.

Marisa calls and Rosa is sweetness and light. She tells Marisa to come over to take a remembrance of Diego.

Out in the driveway, Cristina asks the guards to tell Leo that all she asks is for him to tell her to her face what he has against her. It worked the last time - why not again?

Leo and Cristina have memories of their past and Cristina has a hallucination of Diego.

Mohammed's uncle Abdul comes to see him to give him the advice his father would have.

At the same time, uncle Ali is also giving Latifa advice. After determining that Mohammed is a virgin too, his uncle tells him not to rush things on the first night and to make sure he pleasures his partner. For his part, Ali tells Latifa that the book says that sex was created so that men and women would enjoy it as they wished.

The wedding festivities start.

Sylvia tells Dora that in time Osvaldo may come to accept the idea of AI but Dora says that she can't wait. Her biological clock is ticking. She asks Sylvia to choose a donor who looks like Osvaldo in case he ever comes back, he will recognize himself in the child.

Luisa tells Dora that she is marrying Albieri and Dora is surprised to say the least. She is even more surprised when Albieri comes in and can barely look at Luisa much less touch her.

In his lime green office, Albieri confides to Julio that he doesn't know how to treat Luisa. He says it's as if he suddenly doesn't feel close to her. Julio replies that he ought to feel something more than closeness with his fiancee. Luisa calls to say that Lucas is arriving on Sunday.

Lucas tells Ali that he misses his brother and is sure that Diego is thinking of him. He tells Ali that although he and Diego fought a lot, they complemented each other. Ali changes the subject and tells Lucas that they should go to the party.

More wedding fun. Latifa is carried on a palanquin with a big crown and is met by Mohammed.

Zoraida tells Jade about the benefits of marriage for a woman and regrets that she will never have them. When Jade protests that Zoraida might yet get married, Zoraida says that could only happen if she were a millionaire. Now that Nazira is a millionaire, she can get married. Money makes women look good.

At that moment, Nazira boasts to Zoraida about how much money her family will have from their inheritance and how everyone wants to be friends with her. When Zoraida says that now Nazira can marry, she says that she wants to go to Europe and buy designer clothes and jewels. Maybe marriage will come later. All this time Jade and Lucas have barely been able to take their eyes off each other. Ali's trust is going to be really betrayed.

Cristina barges in to the clinic to tell Albieri to return to Leo the jewelry that he had given her. Cristina is extremely tiresome.

The newlyweds are about to leave for their wedding night. As if these two virgins didn't need more pressure, Nazira tell Latifa that she wants to see the 'proof of blood' afterwards. Abdul tells Mohammed that he had better not fail his bride or he will shame his family and his marriage may be broken.

In their honeymoon suite, the newlyweds start out awkwardly.

Mohammed washes Latifa's feet.

He says a sweet prayer in which he asks that Latifa accept and love him and that there will always be harmony between them. They kiss and things go from there.

Ali tells Leo that Lucas is coming back to Florida the next day. Leo doesn't want to go to the airport and makes Albieri do it.

The next morning Ali and a whole bunch of people bring breakfast to the newlyweds. The 'proof of blood' is on display for the women (at least they're not going to parade along the street with it). Everybody is happy.

Back at Ali's house, Zoraida warns Jade and Lucas to be careful. Lucas says that once he is back in the States, he will ask his father and Albieri for help and he is sure Ali will relent and let him marry Jade. Zoraida throws cold water on that idea. She tells him that Ali will never let his niece marry out his faith. No problem, says Lucas, I'll convert.

Ali returns home and gives Lucas and Jade their plane tickets. He bought two seats for Jade so that no stranger sits near her. When they have gone to get their luggage, he tells Zoraida that Jade seems to have forgotten about the foreigner because she seems so happy. "So it seems," says Zoraida unahappily.

Albieri meets Lucas. He asks where his father and Diego are. Albieri says that they'll talk in the car. Lucas is allowed to say goodbye to Jade alone. He says that when he gets home, he'll talk to his father. Soon they will be together.

We have a little travelogue of Miami from Mohammed's taxi. Latifa says that it has changed a lot.

Back at the house, Leo lies to his servant, Jaime, by saying that he didn't go to the airport because Enrique needed him. In response to Leo's question, Jaime says that he left Cristina's jewels with a girl friend (amiga). He says that he was told Cristina wasn't there because she was traveling with a friend (he uses amigo here so it is clear that he is referring to a male friend). It is also obvious that Leo is upset by this information.

Lucas comes in and asks what is wrong and where Diego is. Leo says that Diego isn't here anymore. Lucas asks what he means and Leo says that the twins never listened to him and it ended in tragedy. It is Rosa who tells him that Diego had an accident in his helicopter and Albieri who tells him that Diego is dead. When Lucas asks his father if Diego is really dead, Leo says no and walks away. It is Rosa who comforts Lucas.

The credits roll.
