Caray, Caray!

Jade realizes that now she is pregnant, she can't get a divorce, return to Miami and study. She is destrozada and cries, "I've lost everything!" Zoraida tells her it's haraam to be upset that you are pregnant.

At the restaurant, Ali continues to sabotage Said's marriage prospects. He says that one has dentures, another had a sister who was sent back. Ali tells Said that it is a good thing that they ran into one another - making the right choice of a wife is difficult.

Daniel is angry with his mother. The kid can sure hold a grudge. Dora writes to her friends that Daniel blames her for taking him away from his real father. The kid likes his grandma but not his mama. She says Albieri stole her son's heart from her.

Zoraida calls Latifa's house to share the good news about Jade. She gets Nariza who is stuck babysitting while Latifa and Mohamed go out. Nariza can only think about Osvaldo, though. She hasn't seen him since he went out of town. Zoraida gives Nariza the news about Jade. "That means they won't get divorced," says Nariza, disappointed.

After she hangs up, she asks Allah not to let Said change his mind. Latifa and Mohamed return. Nariza passes on the news. Latifa is upset that Said will take the baby from Jade when it is born.

Jade is still inconsolable. She says that she only wanted to have Lucas' babies.

Marisa puts on her sexy underwear and tries to get Lucas to make another baby for her.

Lucas refuses. He says that they are fine with just Natalia. Marisa says that she thinks that another child would bring them together. Lucas replies that a kid isn't the solution to marital problems. If they haven't succeeded with one child, two will be worse. Frustrated, Marisa reverts to her natural state of nastiness. She says that but for Natalia, she wouldn't be married to someone as insignificant and mediocre as he.

Said comes home and asks why the doctor had been there. Jade tells him that she is pregnant. Said is impactado and then ecstatic in thanking Allah that he is blessed.

Zoraida returns to a scolding from Ali but when she tells him the good news, he says that she has brought happiness to his house.

It appears that Albieri has put detectives on Dora's trail. One of them has come to Dora's workplace and now she tells Estela that they have to move immediately.

Albieri hears from the detective that he has lost track of Dora. Once again, Albieri says that he cannot understand why Dora took the child away. Luisa suggests that maybe Dora felt uncomfortable with Albieri taking over Daniel's life. "But she ruined his future out of selfishness," says Albieri, "I had so many plans for Diego." Luisa reminds him that the kid is named Daniel. "For me," replies Albieri, "Diego and Daniel are the same person."

Osvaldo is back at the dance club. He told Nariza a story about going to Chicago. He tells the bartender that these Arab women want to get married before you can check out the merchandise. He has given up his dreams of oil money. The bartender suggests that Osvaldo is still carrying a torch for Dora. Osvaldo says that she hasn't even called him. He swears on 'los clavos de Cristo" 'the nails (as in nailed to the Cross- fingernails are uñas) of Christ' that Dora is out of his life forever. So, of course, we know that they will get together eventually.

Said celebrates the news of Jade's pregnancy by doing the handing out food to the poor ritual and there is a party at Ali's. Jade is glum. Said says that he will wait until the baby is born to decide what do with Jade. He thanks Ali for keeping him from marrying one of the women at the restaurant.

Jade slips out of the party followed by Zoraida. She tells Jade that being blessed with a baby is the best thing that can happen to a woman. Zoraida goes on to quote the prophet that, "if we raise our children in the customs and the religion, that child becomes our shield (escudo) accompanying us in old age and defending us from the fires of hell." Jade is unimpressed with this wisdom especially since if Said takes the child, it won't be around to defend her when she gets old.

Nine months pass quickly. A short montage and Jade is great with child and in the ruins. Back in Miami, Lucas appears to get a psychic transmission but he turns to the picture of his child and a tear runs down his cheek.

Latifa gives birth to a boy. Mohamed gives thanks to Allah. The baby is named Mohamed Amine and will be called Amine, the name of Said's, Mohamed's and Nariza's father, so has not to get confused with his father Mohamed.

Zoraida gives Jade the news about Latifa's baby. Said brings Jade a whole box of gold jewelry and says that even though they are separating after the baby is born, he wants her to keep the gold as a token of his appreciation. She takes the box but doesn't show any appreciation.

Mohamed brings Latifa one gold necklace for making him the happiest man in the world.

Lucas finds Natalia reading a book about the desert. He says that one day he will take her to the desert and tells that long ago he wanted to live in the desert. He says that if he had lived in the desert, she would be riding a camel and would be the daughter of a beautiful odalisque.

Jade goes into labor. The news goes to Miami. Mohamed tells Nariza that when the baby is born, she has to go back to Morocco to take care of it. Nariza doesn't want to leave Miami or take care of her brother's children at least until she hears from Osvaldo. Latifa is upset that they are planning to take Jade's baby away from her. She doesn't think that it is fair that Jade's baby will be taken away. Mohamed reminds her that the baby belongs to Said's family, not to Jade's.

Jade must be the only woman in labor who is trying not to deliver. She says that she doesn't want the baby out of her.

Lucas tells Natalia the story of him and Jade as a fairy tale. A traveler went to a far away kingdom in the desert and saw a beautiful princess and fell totally in love with her. She was locked away in a tower but she would escape occasionally and see the traveler. They planned to have lots of kids together and get married. Natalia asks if they got married. Lucas says, no. Another princess named Natalia appeared and the ending was changed.

Finally, however, Jade's baby girl is born. Said names her Hadiyah (the name of the prophet's first wife.) Said tells Jade that after the mandatory 40 days of rest, he will come back for the baby and she will be raised by Nariza. Said says that Jade can keep everything that he gave her during the marriage. Jade is destrozada.

Ali tells Said that the arrival of the baby means that he can withdraw his two divorce declarations. Said replies that he isn't changing his mind. If Jade doesn't care about him, he doesn't care about her. [And knowing what would happen after the baby was born, has Jade done anything to make Said believe that she cares about him? Apparently not.]

Uncle Abdul has another matrimonial candidate for Said.

Ali tells Jade that he did all he could but Said will not revoke his divorce declaration. Jade says that it isn't right that she should lose her baby. "La suerte le da la espalda a quién no piensa en las consequencias, (Luck turns its back on those who don't think about the consequences of their actions)" says Ali. He says that Jade can go to the US and study. Jade replies that everything is changed now. Nothing is more important to her than her baby. Ali gives Jade some more, 'I told you so' advice. Jade says that no one will take her baby away from her. Ali replies that Allah will give her resignation.

Said likes Uncle Abdul's wife selection although he only sees her eyes. Ali's servant who was at Said's house to get Jade's stuff is watching and reports to Zoraida who tells Jade. Jade says that she won't let a stranger raise her daughter. Jade has a plan. She gets Jade to invite the girl to her house.

Said buys a gold necklace as an engagement present.

The new wife candidate comes to Ali's house. Jade tells Zoraida that her life is in Zoraida's hands. She must translate exactly what Jade says. Jade (who got her figure back immediately) welcomes the woman. Jade flashes back to a conversation with Said where he said that he had a superstition that if a woman looked at him and right away intentionally dropped her veil, that would mean that all their life together will fall like the woman's scarf. So, of course, Jade instructs the woman to do exactly that. She does and the marriage is off. Jade is happy but Ali warns her that Said will just find another woman. Jade didn't nourish the love Said felt so strongly (a borbotones) for her. "¿Qué culpa tiene la lámpara que se apaga cuando su aceite se agota? (Is it the lamp's fault that it goes out for lack of oil?)" says Ali.

Albieri is still hiring detectives to find Dora.

The club appears to be a big success for Cristina but apparently Leo hasn't been back. In walks Jade's necklace on a woman who was given it by her ex. Cristina offers to buy it from her.

The 40 days are up. Jade takes her baby and makes a run for it. Since she hasn't learned any Arabic and doesn't know anyone, Ali's servants find her in the ruins immediately. Now she throws herself at Said's feet and begs to be taken back. She swears that she won't 'trastornar.' 'mess up' his life again. She says that if he doesn't want her as his wife, then keep her as the nursemaid.

The credits roll.
