Caray, Caray!

Just as he realizes what would happen if Leo goes to the birthday party, he gets a call from Enrique about the birth of Lucas' baby. He leaves for the hospital.

Of course, he doesn't think to tell Luisa what is going on. Back at the birthday party, she asks Julio if he knows where Albieri went. Julio doesn't. When Dora asks why Albieri left in such a hurry, Luisa lies and says there was an emergency in the clinic. Then she sneaks out herself. Cristina is convinced that the reason Leo didn't come to the birthday party is because he is with another woman.

Leo and Enrique see the baby. They are gowned with booties but no masks. Albieri arrives and congratulates Leo. Leo asks Albieri why he never talks about Diego anymore. He says that it's almost as if Albieri is hiding something. Albieri protests that isn't so. Then Leo suggests that maybe Albieri has forgotten about Diego because he has a new godson.

Said protests to Abdul and Ali that he doesn't want another wife. Abdul suggests that he wait until he sees the woman. Sometimes you don't want to eat until you see food. Ali confesses that if he had it to do it over again, he would only have one wife. Abdul says that he knows some men who seem not to have a wife even though they are married. Everybody looks at Jade and she quietly leaves.

In the kitchen, Nariza is eating and running down Jade and her brother Mohamed. The family of possible wife #2 arrive. Nariza takes the woman, Muna, aside. She says that Said knows how to please a woman. She taught him everything. She says that he likes good food and a clean house. His first wife doesn't do any of those things and that is why he wants another wife to take care of him like she did. When Muna says that she can cook a little, Nariza replies that she will teach Muna all Said's favorite dishes. Finally, she urges Muna to take off her veil and dance provacatively as if for her husband.

Nariza will make sure that Said sees her. Muna obeys but Jade is eager to find out how well her plan is working out. She goes to talk to Muna and when Said sees them together, he realizes what Jade tried to do.

Said is furious that Jade tried to trick him into taking a second wife. She replies that she did it to make him happy. Wife #2 would be company for Jade and be the wife that he always wanted. Said that that she has asked for it and now must accept the consequences. [I thought he meant that he was going to take Muna as a second wife but apparently not.]

Back at Ali's, it appears that Said's sudden disappearance from the party does not augur well for the marriage. Ali is sure that Said does not want to get married again. Ali says that Jade should be careful. She is playing with fire and could end up getting burnt.

Leo goes to a bar.

Cristina is moping around after the party and letting Vicki clean up everything. Her cell rings. It's Leo asking her to come to the bar. She arrives and learns that Lucas' daughter was just born. Leo says that since Diego is dead and Lucas has formed his own family, he realizes that he is all alone. Cristina replies that the isn't alone - he has her. They kiss and all I can think of is that her makeup is going to be all over his face. She really had a lot on.

Luisa finally finds Albieri. He says that he is panicking because it is obvious that Daniel is not Dora's child and he afraid of the consequences if someone finds out what he did. Luisa suggests that people will think that the hospital switched the babies and that wasn't his fault. Albieri is impressed with Luisa's defense of him for personal reasons. He says that he is only concerned about what his error did to Dora. He wishes he could be more like Luisa.

Cristina and Leo end up at what appears to be a hotel. She looks SO much better without that lipstick on.

Passion ensues. Afterwards, Cristina suggests that they get married in Paris like they planned. Leo says that his feelings for her are real but when he is with her he can't help feeling guilty that they were together when Diego was killed. Just when I thought maybe something was going to be resolved in this novela, it falls apart. Cristina is offended and leaves in a huff.

Latifa is very happy when Mohamed tells her that Said isn't taking a second wife. Then Mohamed tells her that he is upset because Adbul has told him that Nariza pretends that they don't exist anymore. Latifa says that what happened wasn't his fault. But when she says that Nariza was selfish, Mohamed is angry. Only he can criticize Nariza. He says that he has written an apology to Nariza and makes Latfia write one too that he dictates.

Jade is sulking around the house. Said shows her a newspaper article about the birth of Lucas' child. Jade tries not to show her distress to Said.

Marisa and the baby come home from the hospital. Marisa, Lucas and Leo all agree to be one big happy family for the baby.

Jade tells Said that if he tried to make her unhappy, it didn't work. Said won't let her go to Ali's house. Jade goes upstairs and suffers. Said is about to go after her when Nariza the witch comes in. She has the letters of apology from Mohamed and Latifa but says she isn't buying. Nariza asks Said what is going on. He says that nothing is going on. Nariza assumes that there is a problem with Jade. Said tells her to stay out his marriage. Nariza doesn't stop. She urges Said to get rid of Jade. When he tells to shut up, Nariza makes an 180 degree turn in her affections and says that Said is dead to her. Only Mohamed respects and loves her.

Julio wants to talk to Albieri about the Dora problem. He says that it is obvious that Daniel is not Dora's son and wonders if the embyros got mixed up. Albieri swears that it wasn't anything he did. Julio replies that however it happened, the wrong embryo got implanted. He wants to do a DNA test on Dora to see if Daniel is her son. Albieri gets that 'deer in the headlights' look.

Albieri tells Julio that he will take all the responsibility for what happened but Julio should just leave the matter alone for the time being. When he is alone, Albieri says that he has to take Daniel far away.

Cristina makes a play for another guy. She says that she wants to married and ask Leo to give her away.

In the ruins, Jade reads the newspaper article about Lucas and suffers.

Marisa [she sure got her figure back quickly!] has found Jade's jade pendant. She thinks it is a present that Lucas got for her.

Lucas is momentarily speechless but he grabs it back and says that it belonged to his mother [it didn't take long for him to start lying again]. He doesn't want her messing with his stuff. Lucas runs off with the pendant. Marisa tells Rosa what happened without describing the necklace. Rosa is surprised. All of Lucas' mother's jewelry should be locked up in Leo's safe.

Julio calls Albieri in and says that he is concerned about the Dora business. If what happened goes public it could hurt the clinic. Dora could even sue the clinic. He says that he understands why Albieri got close to Dora and the boy. Julio doesn't think that is the right approach. He says that Dora has the right to know the truth while she can still have children of her own. Since Albieri hasn't done anything, Julio has asked her to come to the clinic. Albieri is impactado but he doesn't have to wait long - Dora arrives with Luisa behind her and asks what is so important that he has to tell her.

The credits roll.
