Caray, Caray!

In the lobby of the fertility clinic, Dora looks at Lucas with wonder. He says that he's never met her, he'd remember. She says that she feels something inside her as if she's known him all her life.

He asks what she is doing at the clinic and Dora replies that she having AI and she is interested in knowing all about the donor, who he is where he lives... [You're looking at him honey, except that he's donating all the DNA, not just half.]

Albieri is concerned about Diego's mole. He decides to take a sample to have a biopsy done.

Dora's egg harvesting has to be postponed for a month because she had a cold.

Dora tells Vicki that she is depressed about having the AI postponed. She has a feeling that if she doesn't get pregnant this month, everything is going to be different.

Lucas asks Albieri to confirm with Ali that Lucas has decided to convert to Islam. Albieri is shocked and asks if Lucas intends to raise a child under the laws of the Koran. Sure, says Lucas, not having the slightest idea what that means, of course. Albieri remarks on the impetuousness of youth. Lucas thinks Albieri should understand the things we do for love since he just got married. Albieri is spared from answering this because Luisa announces that Leo has come for Lucas.

Albieri tells Lucas not to mention anything about the biopsy until they have the results and Leo tells Albieri that he is taking Lucas to his office to keep him away from Cristina.

Cristina and Vicki are getting a massage.

We get a close up look at Cristina's clown make up - bright green eyeshadow!

We discover that Cristina wanted Leo to hear her message to Lucas. She says that he deserves to be jealous after what he did to her. Vicki doesn't believe Leo has another girlfriend but Cristina is sure that he does. When she finds out who the woman is, she will make sure that the woman never gets near Leoncito.

Back in Morocco, Nariza is complaining to Said about not being able to go to the States right away. Said says that he needs her here to help get ready for his wedding to Jade. At that moment the phone rings, it's Mohamed. He tells Said that Jade doesn't deserve him and he should call off the wedding. Latifa overhears. As Mohamed starts to tell Said what happened with Jade, Latifa unplugs the phone line.

Latifa runs up to Jade's room and tells her about the call. She makes Jade swear that she will says that she is still a virgin. If Mohamed finds out that Jade isn't a virgin, he will think she wasn't one either and she'll be sent back to her family - the worst thing that can happen to a woman. Jade swears.

Said goes out. Nariza tells Abdul that she is sure that Said is hiding something from her. Abdul decides that Nariza is upset because Ali doesn't want to marry again. She admits that and says that she sacrificed everything for her brothers, now they are marrying and she is a 5th wheel. Abdul says that her future is up to Allah, in other words, he's not going to lift a finger to get her a husband.

Said goes to Ali's house but Zoraida tells him that Ali has left for the airport. He asks to use the phone. He calls Mohamed and with Zoraida listening on his end and Latifa on Mohamed's, he finds out about Jade's virginity fiasco of the previous night.


Said asks Mohamed not to tell Nariza or Abdul about what has happened. He will take care of it himself. Ali flashes back to his (few) meetings with Jade. After Said leaves, Zoraida gets a call from Albieri. She tells him Ali isn't there. After the call, she wishes that Lucas had never come to their house.

Lucas is hanging around Leo's office doing nothing. Finally, he says that he is leaving. Leo can't resist the opportunity to ask if he is going to see Cristina. Lucas tells Leo that Diego never would have boinked Cristina if he had known that she was Leo's girlfriend. Leo says that he trusts Lucas; he doesn't trust Cristina. Lucas replies that Cristina was nice to him and listened to his problems. Then Leo has the brass ones to ask why Lucas doesn't tell his troubles to his father instead of a stranger. Lucas tells Leo that he already knows about his problem - his marriage to Jade.

Leo asks why Lucas can't be Jade's boyfriend and get to know her better. Lucas repeats what Albieri told him - Muslims don't date - they marry. Well of course, Leo isn't interested in listening and he tells Lucas that Jade's family just want to trap him. He tells Lucas that he can't believe that he is being manipulated so easily. Then he says that Diego wouldn't have done that. Poor Lucas comes to the conclusion that Leo would rather he had died and not Diego.

Luisa suggests that she and Albieri go out dancing. Albieri suggests that Luisa invite Betty/Molly over for dinner so they can discuss cloning.

Ali arrives in Miami and takes a cab to Mohamed's house where Jade is on the balcony sans veil. She sees him and he sees her. Ali tells Jade that she is coming back to Morocco with him. She says that she will never marry Said. Ali replies that she will learn to love him but if she really doesn't want to marry him, he will cancel the wedding. He will not make someone marry against their will. Jade is ecstatic until Ali lets her know that she can't marry Lucas either.

Lucas tells Leo that he has to pay a dowry so he can marry Jade. Predictably, Leo is outraged. He pays no attention to Lucas' explanation and finally tells him that if Lucas wants to marry against his father's will, he will have to come up with the dowry and the means to support his wife. Marisa shows up.

Jade tries the 'Lucas is converting to Islam' argument but Ali isn't buying. They exchange quotes from the Koran but Ali says that Lucas is only converting to marry her and he won't approve. Jade points out that a cousin of Ali's was permitted to marry a convert. Ali responds that was different because the cousin was man. If Jade and Lucas divorced, she would have no right to her children (????).

In her room with Latifa, Jade says that she won't give Lucas up. Latifa reminds her that the coffee grounds said that her future wasn't with Lucas. Jade says she doesn't believe in that nonsense. Latifa urges her to marry Said but Jade says those anvil forging words: 'nothing and no one will ever separate Lucas and I'.

Mohamed tells Ali that Said is very concerned about Jade's behavior. He loves her but he has his pride and won't take a bride under these circumstances. Ali says that he won't make a decision until he has checked everything out. He will stay until the end of the month. Mohamed starts to bad mouth Jade but Ali cuts him off. He reminds him that the punishment for slandering a women is 80 lashes.

Said is pacing around his house. When he leaves, Abdul suggests that Nariza move up her trip to Miami. Nariza says that she will leave right away.

Jade sneaks out of her house at night to meet Lucas. Lucas tells her that the result of the biopsy on his mole was negative. She tells him that Ali has come to Miami and he won't let Jade marry Lucas even if he converts. She says that Ali is staying until the end of the month and she is sure that she can change his mind. If not, she will leave her family for Lucas. Lucas says the same. They both agree that nothing will keep them apart.

It's 'days later' and Albieri has successfully cultured Lucas' skin cells. Dora has a last night out before her AI procedure. Lucas is pouring out his troubles to Marisa and her suggestion is that they go out dancing. Lucas tells her how much he misses Diego and that he dreams about him all the time. He asks Marisa if she believes in life after death.

In his lab, Albieri says that Lucas' cells are perfect. If he had an egg, he could make a clone of Lucas. At that moment, Silvia is harvesting eggs from Dora for her AI. Silvia tells Albieri about Dora's eggs. It's destiny. Albieri bundles Silvia off to the seminar he was supposed to attend in Washington. He tells Luisa to go home so he can concentrate on his work.

Albieri has doubts - he hears the voices of Betty/Molly, Molina and finally Diego. He says that he will make a clone for Diego.

Nariza arrives in Miami and is shocked by bare midriffs. She arrives at Mohamed's house just as Jade is sneaking out. She calls Jade's name.

The credits roll.
