Caray, Caray!

Marisa is very startled to see Lucas.

She thinks it is Diego who never told her he had a brother much less an identical twin. Lucas, with the help of Rosa, clears that up. We find out that Diego met Marisa at a party and they went out a few times before he went to Morocco. Lucas shows her the photo Diego had of her, Marisa breaks down and Lucas comforts her.

Meanwhile Jade is waiting and flashing back to Lucas asking her to marry him and live in his father's house.

Marisa seems to be kind of creeped out that Lucas is identical to Diego. Lucas excuses himself.

Latifa calls Zoraida and tells her that Jade has run away.

Latifa wails that Mohamed will send her back and she'll never have a family and her life will be ruined and all because of that selfish Jade. Zoraida tries to speak but Latifa won't let her get a word in. Mohammed arrives home for lunch and Latifa hangs up.

Postponing the bad news, Latifa tells Mohamed that she was crying because she missed Ali's house. Mohamed tells Latifa that his store is in a good place with lots of traffic. Then there is the following amusing exchange:
Moh: "Where's lunch?"
Latifa (confused): "Lunch?"
Moh: "Yes."
Latifa: "Where's the maid?"
Moh. (confused) "The maid?"
Latifa: "Yes."
Latifa then reminds Mohamed that in the wedding contract he promised to provide a maid. Mohamed (who continues to refer to himself in the 3rd person) says that he hoped they could wait to get the maid until his store was open and his business was more stable. He asks if she can cook. "I think so," replies Latifa - which doesn't bode well.

Lucas meets Jade. She asks what is the matter and Lucas doesn't beat around the bush. He says that his father doesn't want her to stay at the house. Jade is impactada. She tells Lucas that she left everything for him. Lucas replies that his father believes that what they did was not correct and could get them in a lot of trouble. He doesn't want to help them. When Jade says that they don't need his father, they can handle it themselves, Lucas says that he can't.
He tells her that his brother just died, his father can't accept the fact and he can't leave him. When Jade concludes that he doesn't love her anymore, he assures her that he does. He just needs some time. He says that he feels empty without Diego. Jade reminds him that she doesn't have anywhere to go. Lucas has an idea.

Albieri is mooning over a picture of him and the twins when Luisa announces that some students have come to see the lab. Luisa suggests that they get married the next week. Albieri agrees and in response to Luisa's declarations of happiness, says that he after what has happened, he has a void in his heart.
When Albieri is gone, Luisa asks Silvia what kind of dress she should wear at her wedding. [I'm suprised she didn't have one ready.] Silvia knows that Luisa wants a gown with a train but she thinks a nice suit would be better. Luisa swears to Silvia that Albieri will fall in love with her.

Of course, Lucas takes Jade to Albieri's office. He tells her that Albieri is friends with his father and with Ali and he will help them. He asks her to stay in the car and wait for him.

Lucas goes to the clinic office but Albieri is giving a talk to the students. Silvia asks if he came about having the mole checked but Lucas says no. He tells Silvia that he will wait.

Silvia gets a call from Dora and tells her that she has found a donor. Dora is ecstactic.
She tells Vicki and Cristina, who is there for a manicure, about the news. Cristina has overdue bills. She plans to put on her red dress and make another play for Leo.

Lucas waits impatiently. For our benefit, Albieri explains to the students how an individual would be cloned. Lucas interrupts him. He blurts out the situation, drags Albieri away from the students and down to the car but Jade is gone.

Back in Morocco, Nazira is scolding Said for buying things for Jade when he is drowning in debt.

Lucas tells Albieri that the woman he has fallen in love with is none other than Albieri's niece, Jade. Albieri is horrified and not at all sympathetic. He tells Lucas that the penalty for what he did is 80 lashes for him and the same or worse for Jade. Lucas says that he is ready to convert to Islam. Albieri reminds Lucas that he was warned not to mess with the natives in Morocco. "If you were Dieg..," starts Ali. Lucas acknowledges that his brother was smarter than he but he says that if Diego were here, he would be helping Lucas fix things because he could convince his father to do anything. Albieri sends Lucas home and says that he will try and find a solution if there is one.

Once again, with nowhere else to go, Jade returns to Mohamed's house while Latifa is pouring out her fears to Zoraida about what will happen to her when Jade's disappearance is known. Latifa is overjoyed to see her. Jade tells her that it was all lies. Latifa says that Jade should forget Lucas, marry Said and be happy like her. But Jade is devastated. She can't believe that the person she just left is the same one she was with in Morocco. While they are talking, Mohamed returns and sees Jade's suitcase. Latifa tells him that Jade was going to bring some things from Morocco to a friend of her mother's. Mohamed is scandalized that Jade was planning to go out alone. He tells Latifa that he can't keep an eye on Jade for his brother if she won't obey him. He says that Ali must be told of this. Latifa protests but Jade replies that she has already sent Ali a letter. Jade goes and lies on her bed.

Lucas asks Rosa what Diego would have done in this circumstance. Rosa says that Diego would have gone charging after Jade. Lucas says that is what he will do. He will solve the problem with Jade's family.

Leo leaves work and goes to a Smith & Wollensky steakhouse for a drink. Cristina is in pursuit and pours out her troubles and asks advice of the cab driver.

Cristina plops herself down at Leo's table. He tells her to leave him alone. She says that she knows they had problems but they are nothing that their love can't work out. Leo says that his son and his guilt are problems that they can't work out. They continue to have their usual exchange until Cristina produces her overdue bills and demands that Leo pay them. Leo excuses himself to go to the bathroom and sneaks out of the restaurant. It's surprising that someone with Cristina's experience would fall for that one. She insists on checking the men's room. [I guess as an upscale place, this men's room doesn't have urinals or maybe they filmed it in the ladies room for that reason.]

Lucas goes to Latifa's house but she won't let him in.

Ali tells Zoraida that he is going to the desert with Said's harem to see if the Bedouin will take them. Zoraida takes the opportunity to ask him whether a foreigner can convert to Islam and marry a Muslim woman. Ali says that this is possible, God doesn't turn his back on anyone. Ali wonders why Zoraida is asking.

We see Ali negotiating with the Bedouin about the harem while Said tells Abul that his life depends on Ali. If Ali can't get rid of the harem, his business, his future, everything is over. Abdul gives a fatalistic answer - Allah has written the future. When Nazira says that she is worried about what is going on with Mohamed in the land of licentiousness (Florida), Abdul suggests that she go there and keep an eye on things. Nazira accepts this charge as another of her sacrifices for her brothers but you get the idea that she has ulterior motives. Said wonders how it's going with Ali.

Ali's discussion with the Bedouin don't seem to be going that well but it's hard to say since we don't get a translation.

Back at his house, Leo is seeking advice from Enrique. Enrique seems to be one of those people who only talk about their own problems when asked for advice. Leo pays no attention. He decides that to get rid of Cristina, he needs to be seen with a new girlfriend.

Actually, Leo doesn't need to get a new girlfriend, Cristina has already concluded that he has one. She sees Lucas who is standing in the street. Lucas sees her and freezes. Betrayaing a guilty conscience, Cristina immediately blurts out that what happened to his brother wasn't her fault.

Lucas doesn't move when a car is bearing down on him. Cristina pushes him out of the way and lands on top of him.

The credits roll.
