Caray, Caray!

Jade tells Zoraida about the vow she made to Allah to renounce Lucas if his life was spared. She won't go after Lucas but she wants a divorce because whenever she looks at Said, she will think about the fact that Lucas isn't there and about the happiness that they could have had and it is all Said's fault.

Lucas rehashes his conversation with Jade and has flashbacks. He tells Rosa that his relationship with Jade is over. He doesn't understand why. He says that he will only believe it if Jade says it to his face.

Ali tells Jade that since she came to live with him, he has ignored his conscience many times by not noticing or hearing things just to defend her. He thinks he might burn in hell for this. Jade shows no understanding or gratitude for this. Totally absorbed in her own problems, she says that she wants to divorce Said. Ali goes through the reasons a wife can divorce her husband in Islam: not providing for the wife; hitting her; not performing the marital duties in bed and insulting the religion in front of her. Jade acknowledges that Said has not done any of these things. "Isn't being unhappy enough?" she asks. Ali tells her that if Said doesn't agree she cannot get a divorce.

Leo the lout is furious that Rosa let Lucas go to Morocco and Marisa leave the house.

Dora brings her mother to Cristina's house. This actress played Nanny in La Tormenta and Dolores in Zorro. First time I've seen her in modern dress. Like everyone else, she is very surprised to see how white Danielito is [I guess Dora hadn't even sent one picture of the kid to his grandmother.] Dora' mother [we don't know her name yet] is not one of those sophisticated New Yorkers. She has no idea what artificial insemination is and can't understand why Dora doesn't know what the father of the baby looks like.

Nariza encourages Latifa to go Mohamed's store with him.
Once she gets rid of them, Nariza signals to Osvaldo, who is lurking around outside. I notice that Mohamed and Latifa drive off in a car when I believe the store was supposed to be on the ground floor of where they lived. This scene got cut off very abruptly and I'm sure there was more to it.

Much later at night, Dora is dancing in the club. Osvaldo is there. He tells Vicki that he has a new girl from Arabia. Vicki in turn tells Dora.

Nariza lies around Mohamed's house singing, sighing and primping. Latifa suggests that she is in love with someone but Mohamed insists that anyone getting involved with Nariza would have to come to him first.

Marisa returns to Leo's house because she is pregnant. Leo is ecstatic and insists that she stay. He says that he will make Lucas take her back.

Zoraida tells Jade that there is a way that she can get a divorce. She has to make Said want to divorce her by irritating him a little bit every day until finally he says, "I repudiate you!" three times and prang - she's divorced. Jade vows to employ this method.

Everybody except Jade leaves to take Zoraida to the airport. Said tells her to stay at Ali's house and he'll come for her later. Jade avoids his kiss.

Lucas has arrived in Morocco. I hope he gets a special rate on his hotel room since he is there so much.

Marisa returns to Leo's house with her luggage. She tells Rosa not to tell Lucas about the baby. She wants to do it. Rosa asks if she has any cravings, "antojos." She says not yet. Rosa replies that she will get whatever Marisa wants.

Lucas devises a plan to get Jade back by talking to "him." He leaves the hotel room.

Albieri is furious that Dora will only let him spend Saturday afternoons with Danielito. Luisa asks, "When will you understand that Danielito is not your son?" "He's much more mine than hers," mutters Ablieri. Dora asks what he said and Albiero blows her off.

Dora's mother still doesn't understand the artificial insemination thing but she says that the kid is very strange.

Albieri decides to bring Danielito a gift. He is surprised to meet Dora's mother at Cristina's apartment. He tells her that he is the baby's godfather. She accuses him of being the father of the child.

The "man" that Lucas wants to talk to about Jade is Ali. Lucas goes to Ali's house.

He doesn't understand the servant who tells him that Ali isn't home. Then he sees Jade. She heads back into the house. Lucas pushes his way past the servant and goes after her. She asks why he has come. He is part of her past. Lucas doesn't understand. He tells her that he has left Marisa for her. They can be happy together like they always dreamed. He blames his failings in the past on the death of his brother that left him lost and not knowing what to do.

Jade tells him that it is over between them. She doesn't love him any more. She loves her husband. Lucas asks when this happened. She replies that not everything she told him before was true. She was using him to get her uncle Ali off her back so she go to the US but now she loves Said and can't live without him. Lucas says that his life without her will never be the same. Jade tells him to go back to his wife and when he won't leave she calls the servant to throw him out. As he is dragged out, Lucas yells back to Jade asking when did she stop loving him and that it was all a lie.

Two very unhappy people.


Leo is having a nursery made out of a guest room. Marisa thinks that it might be a little premature but then realizes that her son will be the king of the house.

Back at the hotel, Lucas flashes back to Diego telling him not to take women so seriously and just have fun. He vows that from now on he won't let any woman hurt him. He calls Leo's house and tells Rosa that the story of his love is over. She tells him that something marvelous has happened. He is not interested and says that he will return to Florida the next day.

Rosa asks Marisa not to throw the Morocco incident in Lucas' face. But Marisa is not the forgive and forget type. She says that until Leo insisted that she return to the house, she was going to get rid of everything to do with Lucas from her life, including the baby. Lucas will have to earn her forgiveness little by little and he will have to humiliate himself like he humiliated her. Rosa seems shocked.

Ali and Said return to the house and are informed by the servant that Lucas was there.

Ali reams out the servant while Said goes to Jade and asks if she is going to deny that Lucas was there. She tells him that she is innocent. If she were going to do something with Lucas, she wouldn't be there. She is tired of being blamed for everything. Having had the blame turned on him, Said starts to apologize. Ali starts to scold Jade. Said comes in and says that Allah sent Lucas to test him. He had suspicions about his wife but now he knows that they were unwarranted.

Dora's mother tells her that Albieri will take her child from her. She can see the love he has for the child. She suggests that Dora let her take the child New York. Dora replies that her child is staying with her in Miami.

Albieri asks Luisa to take the photo of Danielito off his desk. [He can't do this himself?] He doesn't want pictures of the child at the lab. Luisa asks if Albieri is hiding the child. Albieri refuses to respond to her question.

Jade, with a butter wouldn't melt in her mouth smile, tells Ali that she is at his house to learn to cook lamb for Said. Ali tells her the saying that there are two ways for a woman to conquer a man: at the foot of the bed and at the foot of the table. But Jade is really there to learn how to cook lamb badly for Said. She dumps a whole lot of salt in the pan.

Poor Said is so happy that Jade cooked for him but he can barely swallow the stuff.

When Said goes to answer the phone, Jade puts even more salt on his food. He can't eat it and there are no other dishes. Said is not angry. He says that Jade will learn in time. He tells her that they will go to a restaurant.

Of course, Lucas is in the restaurant. Jade pretends to want to be with Said while Lucas looks daggers at them.

The credits roll.
