El Clon, Wed,. March 30- More of the same; Marisa gets a little bump
Lucas promises Marisa to give their baby a family, love and a home. For her, he promises to try again. Talk about an awkward embrace!
It appears that two months have gone by. Marisa has a little baby bump and Ali wants Zoraida to come home. Nariza has been asked to go back with Latifa but she refuses. She give her usual speech about sacrificing herself for her brothers and wanting to live her own life. Latifa gives her usual speech about wanting a baby and being afraid that if she doesn't conceive, Mohamed will send her back. Zoriada promises to make a 'special petition' for Latifa to conceive. It involves a lot of incense. They go to Mohamed's shop. Latifa gives her usual speech about the scandalous behavior of Westerners and, as usual, is jealous when Mohamed serves a woman customer.
At the store, Zoriada sees a society page picture of Lucas and the pregnant Marisa.
Zoraida and Latifa do the fertility-enhancing ritual, which involves Latifa stepping over the burning incense and praying.
Dora is still living at Cristina's. For how long did she sublet her place? As usual, her mother, who we find out is named, Estela, is inveighing against Albieri and warning Dora that he will try and take Danielito from her. As usual, Dora doesn't think Albieri would do such a thing. "Piensa mal y acertarás," replies her mother, literally, "think the worst and it will be correct," translated in the English titles as, "trust no one." When Dora tells Cristina and Vicki how ridiculous her mother's suspicions are, Vicki says that Osvaldo thinks that Albieri is the baby's father. Cristina asks if Dora knows whose sperm Albieri used to fertilize her eggs?
Albieri refers to the clone as Diego, in Luisa's presence.
Lucas sits around crying thinking about how Jade betrayed him. He tells Rosa that he just wants to forget her but that doesn't seem very likely.
Zoraida returns to Morocco and Jade is overjoyed to see her until she sees the newspaper clipping about Lucas and Marisa that Zoriada brought. Jade calculates that Marisa must have been pregnant when Lucas came to Morocco and told her that his marriage was over. Zoraida gives her usual speech about the perfidy of Westerners and urges Jade to learn to love Said. Jade says that Said isn't in love with her. She is just an object that he bought. If Lucas has betrayed her, she will never believe in love again. She thinks of all the crazy things she did for Lucas and look at him now. What hurts the most she says is that he didn't suffer for her. [We're all suffering here, Jade.]
Lucas tells Rosa that he idealized Jade and he should have learned from Diego not to do that. He doesn't feel any of the same crazy passion for Marisa that he did for Jade but Marisa has been nice to him and she's having his baby. He thinks of all the crazy things he did for Jade and feels a lot of anger.
We keep picking at this scab. Lucas gets Jade's pendant out. He has flashbacks. He says that he will do all he can to forget her. [Let it be so!] Rosa tells him to get rid of the pendant. Lucas says that he will keep it to remember never to fall into such a trap again.
Jade wanders around like a lost soul, goes to the ruins and cries.
Dora and her mother come to Albieri's to fetch Daniel. Estela is pretty rude. She asks Luisa why, if she and Albieri love Daniel so much, they don't have children of their own. Meanwhile Albieri is tempting Dora to move to LA with promises of dance lessons. She appears to be interested but her mother barges in, accuses Albieri of making Daniel think that he is rich, drags him out of the house and Dora has no choice but to follow.
Dora and her mother return to Cristina's apartment. In the most amazing scene, Dora puts her two-year old child down to sleep in less than 10 seconds! Estela warns Dora that when Daniel is older, he may ask to live with Albieri. She says that kids are opportunists and go with the best deal.
As usual, Luisa is deluded about her relationship with Albieri. She tells Albieri that she thinks it would be good for them to move to LA, start over and leave Daniel behind. Albieri replies that he's going to LA with Daniel or not at all.
Rosa goes on and on to Lucas about the supposedly photoshopped picture of Albieri and Diego. Lucas doesn't really understand what she is talking about and neither do we.
Said comes home for lunch but Jade airily tells him that she forgot about lunch and there's no food in the house. Said is angry. He accuses Jade of wanting to go after Lucas. He finds Jade's newspaper clipping about Lucas. She won't tell him where she got it, which makes him angrier. He produces a lot more newspaper clippings and tells Jade that he spent a fortune on a detective to follow Lucas. The clippings tell the same story Jade already knows - that according to the society pages, Lucas and Marisa are happily married. Said reminds Jade of all he's risked to protect her. When Said runs into Abdul, who assumes that Said's glum expression is Jade's fault. His recommendation is to leave a whip lying around the house where Jade can see it.
Jade burns the clippings asking, as usual, why Lucas lied to her.
Nariza is out with Osvaldo. He sees a watch in a jewelry store that he likes. He says that there is a woman who is crazy about him in the barrio who would buy it for him. Nariza says that her millionaire boyfriend would buy her a gold necklace in the store if she asked for it. Nariza asks if Osvaldo has thought about marrying. She boldly invites him to meet her family and propose to her. All he needs to do is become a Muslim. "I'll convert to whatever you want, doll," says Osvaldo.
Nariza returns to Latifa's house and announces that she is engaged to a convert to Islam. Meanwhile, at the club, Osvaldo tells his friends that he is getting married to a millionaire in Arabia. This information is passed on to Dora who is disappointed. She hoped that she and Osvaldo would get back together. To cheer her up, Cristina proposes to have a birthday party for Daniel at her house and invite Leo and Lucas.
Rosa is going out shopping and to Albieri's . She asks Leo why he is on the outs with Albieri.
Cristina invites Enrique to the birthday party for Daniel and asks him to bring Leo as well. Leo says that he won't go. He says that Cristina is like drugs were to Enrique. If he is with her, he would get tangled in her snares.
Cristina barges into Albieri's office. With Luisa overhearing, she asks if Albieri is Daniel's father. He asks where she got such a crazy idea. She replies that everyone is saying it. Then we get to the real purpose of the visit as far as the plot goes. She invites Albieri to the birthday party for Daniel and drops the bombshell that Leo is coming.
Dora drops Daniel off at Luisa's house.
Lucas is moping around his office.
Said comes home and finds that Jade has burnt the newspaper articles about Marisa and Lucas.
The credits roll.

Thanks so much, Jean, for another great recap. I loved your remarks, such as "[Let it be so!]" and "In the most amazing scene, Dora puts her two-year old child down to sleep in less than 10 seconds!" And I was heartened by your saying that "Lucas doesn't really understand what she is talking about and neither do we." Certainly I had a hard time following her.
I found your recap especially helpful since for some reasons Telemundo gave me no captions last night, not for "El Clon" and not for "¿Dónde Está Elisa?" The latter was especially problematic, since CarayCaray isn't recapping it.
I gather from what you said that you can get English as well as Spanish captions? Sometimes I'm told that they're available, but I seem to be able to switch back and forth between 1 and 2, not 3, where the English captions are said to be. Oh well, I'm probably better off using Spanish captions--I just wish they were always available. Often, I find they cut out in the last ten minutes of so of a program. And last night, nada. :-(

Sorry that your captions weren't on last night, Juanita. I'm glad my recap helped with El Clon at least.
One of the TV's in my house used to get only CC1 and CC2. If you wanted to get the English captions, you could probably get them with a new TV that receives CC3.
Your failure to get captions last night has to be the fault of your local Telemundo station although I don't understand how that can be if they are just broadcasting a network program.
Anyway, I thought I had to say something about Rosa's conversation with Lucas about the photos but it is such a stupid part of the story, I gave it pretty short schrift.

Thanks, Jean. It looks like Albiri has met his match in Dora's mama. I got a kick out of the look on her face . Mama is not having any of it. Arabic names always have meanings , so I asked my students what Nazira meant , and they told me that it refers to whatever you promise God to grant your wishes. They did not recognize the name Zoraida. I also asked them the difference between ''Inshallah'' and ''Mahshallah.'' They said that ''inshallah'' is ''I hope'', ''Ojala.'' ''Mahshallah'' is more like ''Keep it so.'' [For example, ''Your child is beautiful and healthy. Mahshallah.''] I still don't where this show is headed with the clone, Lucas/Jade/Marisa/Said.

Jean, regarding your comment, "it is such a stupid part of the story, I gave it pretty short schrift." Adalante! Al bagazo poco caso. (Pay no attention to worthless things.) I'm on board with that school of recapping.
Let's see. People I would invite to my son's 2yo birthday party.
1. My relatives.
2. My friends.
3. Moms and kids we know from the playground down the street.
4. The old dude who split up with my friend almost three years ago, along with his adult son.
Did I miss anyone?
I know we're eager for the time warp, but I have to wonder if we're going to get a child abduction first. Albieri seems to be moving toward that.

Thanks for the Arabic translations, Susanlynn. As I've said before, if I get nothing else out of this novela (and it's looking like I might not), I've learned more about Islam.
I'm sure everybody knows (but just in case) that the Spanish word, 'ojalá, actually comes from an Arabic word. See this info from SpanishOnly.com:
Spain and the Iberian Peninsula have a great history which has been influenced by different ethnic groups and languages. Most people think that Spanish only has been influenced by Latin, but forget that also the Celts and the Moors influenced customs and the Spanish language over time. One of the words of Arabic origin which is still used in Spanish is ojalá.
If you go to the roots of the word (in Arabic it’s وشاء الله – wa-šā’ allāh), you’ll see that it roughly means “if God [Allah] wants it” or “and may God will it”. However, the best translation nowadays is “hopefully”, “let’s hope” or “I hope”.
Some people may argue that it’s the same as esperar, but ojalá is definitely a stronger way of saying that you hope something will happen.

Thanks, Jean, great recap.
Yes, Albieri is scaring me. Something will impede Leo or Lucas from seeing Danielito, and I hope it isn't an abduction. I can't believe Luisa won't put her foot down. Dora's mom's intuition is very good on this. While it's not true that Frankenalbi is Daniel's father, he is his creator and is obsessed with the child.
I thought it was really cute that Ali is begging for Zoraida to come back. He can't even manage his wives without her. Wonder if she'll end up the 4th wife.
That scene in the jewelry store with Nariza and Ossie was really funny. Each thinks they're going to get a real catch. I can't wait to see Mohammed's eyes bug out when and if he gets a look at sleazoid Ossie!

Regarding Ozzie and Nariza, I can't wait to see Ozzie's reaction when Mohamed tells him how much he expects for the bride price!
On some of the Caray boards, we go wild with nicknames. FELS was brimming with them. Here on Clon, Nariza is firmly pegged onto Nazira, and Frankenalbi is getting used daily.
But I just caught something swimming around my brain. With our comic-relief couple, when we refer to them together.
Osvaldo and Nazira...
Ozzie and Nariza...
Ozzie and Harriette...
Considering how eager Nariza is to lasso a man...
I GOT IT!
Ozzie and Lariat!

Heh heh, I like Ozzie and Lariat. I hope it will be interesting and entertaining when these two have to get in touch with reality.
Paula - BRILLIANT!!! I love, love, love Ozzie and Lariat.
