Caray, Caray!

No subtitles for me tonight, so wish me luck! Feel free to add anything I missed or correct anything I got wrong.

Dora introduces Danny Boy. Danny just scowls and doesn’t look at Osvaldo. Ozzie asks, are you happy to meet me? Daniel stammers, “It‘s strange, to meet a person I’ve never met, and the first thing he says is that he’s my father.” Danny accepts Ozzie’s offer to spend some time with him. Ozzie introduces him to Miguel, who points out the obvious differences between father and son. Ozzie insists that they are exactly the same.

Leo takes one look at Cristina in his office, and he runs and hides behind his door. What a man! She has an extended rant, screaming at the door, while Roberto tries to call Lucia. Lucia concludes that if a woman is pitching a rant next to her husband, she is obviously his lover. Leo hustles Amalia into the conference room so she can’t hear Cris’s tantrum. The scandal also causes Clara to fret about her husband and Alicia. Leo gives Amalia some excuse that the scandalosa is the wife of a terminated employee. Cris discovers that her purse strap broke and it’s all Leo’s fault since he made her throw a giant temper tantrum. Enrique says Leo will pay for it, and Cris says it’s $3,000. And she wants cash, not a check. He writes her a check, and Cris puts a new twist on an old dicho, “Take the money and stay!” She says they can’t get rid of her for a miserable $3,000.

Dora reports to Vicky that Daniel showed up. She tells Vicki their rendition of Daniel’s paternity story. She says she never wants to see Albi ever again. As we all know, in a novela a sentence like that summons him, so he shows up at their door at that moment. Extended stares that are supposed to be profound. Dora says she hasn’t heard from Daniel in a long time. Albi insists on her address and phone number. She claims she doesn’t have a phone. He asks, “What have I done? Why did you take Daniel away and hide from me?” Dora answers, “Because you’re a creepy old man who tried to take MY child away from me, and if you try to contact MY son ever again, I’ll call Cousin Guido to convince you otherwise.” Then we hear spooky music, the TV image shimmers and wavers, and we realize we were having a fantasy / illusion like TN characters have all the time. Albi’s tune changes from whining feelings of betrayal, to ranting that she would have the nerve to do such a despicable act. He says that no one can love Daniel as much as he does. That gets up Dora’s dander. “Even more than me?” she demands. Too bad Estella’s not here. Albi would be ducking a frying pan to the face right now. Albi thinks to himself, “She acts like she owns Daniel. If I told her that he’s Lucas’s clone, she wouldn’t feel like she owns him anymore.” Dora says, “You helped me have a child, but you did it for you, not for me. That’s why I left.” She tells him to leave.

At the bar, Dan asks Ozzie if he knows Albi. Dan says Albi is important to him; he considers him like a father. Ozzie takes offense at this, and says that HE is Dan’s only father. I think the shoot Dan’s close-ups through a green filter.

Albi complains to Luisa about how Dora treated him after all he’s done for her. Don’t get me started. Albi is determined to find Danny. I still think Dora should call Cousin Guido.

At the office, Julio asks for some files from last year. Luisa reaches for the file drawer, but Alicia has transferred all the records to the computer. Well bless her heart. Imagine how easy it will be to retrieve any file. Or corrupt it with bogus data. Or destroy it. With just a few keystrokes.

Leo calls Enrique from the conference room and tells him to get rid of Cristina. He makes up some other excuse for Amalia. She answers, “You’re so sexy when you lie to me,” and she starts sucking his face. Isn’t that just precious?

Rania asks Jade what the West is like. Jade says you’ll love it. There is so much more freedom, the beach, the tourists, and people from all over the world. Rania says she wants to be Jade’s best friend, and Jade is delighted. Said is leaving for the airport, and he comes in to say goodbye to his wives. Rania is responsive and Jade is Jade. When he leaves, Jade tells Rania that she has decided to give Rania all her nights with Said for the first month, so they can get to know each other better. Ali counsels Said that he’s a good guy, but his suffering has made him do things that go against his nature. He warns Said that vengeance turns people bitter. Said claims that Ali knew that Jade betrayed him, but Ali denies it. Said doesn’t believe him. Ali says he will not accuse anyone of anything without four witnesses. Said leaves and Ali tells Zoraida that he’s sure Jade will suffer.

Estella tries to talk to Daniel, and he asks her about Albi. She says that he needs to forget about Albi and focus on his family. She says he seems like he’s not connected to the family. Dan says he feels the same way, as if he doesn’t belong here. The only person he feels a connection to is Albi.

Leo goes to Lucas’s room and says that since the contract with Said is so important to their business, Lucas must renounce all ties to Jade. Lucas flatly refuses. Leo says that if they don’t get that contract from Said, the company will go bankrupt. Many people depend on the company, and if it fails it will all be Lucas’s fault. Gee, I wonder if all Leo’s payments to Cris had any effect on the Profit and Loss statement. Leo continues, “Quit being so selfish. Do it my way” (o algo así).

Nariza asks Ramon about Pablo. Pablo says he’s in aerobics classes. Then Mohammed orders her back into the house.

Dora gets home and is upset that Daniel left. Estella insists that Dora tell her where Albi lives. Dora refuses but then says he works at the clinic. She marches into the clinic and demands to speak to Albi. She asks him, point blank, who is Daniel’s father.

At home, Rosa tells Lucas about the differences between him and Diego. Lucas wishes he were more like his brother. He always worries about looking foolish. Marisa comes in and flaunts the fact that she’s going to meet Said intimately. Leo asks Marisa to convince Lucas to not get divorced. She meets Said at the hotel, he gives her jewelry, they both glory in how much they are going to hurt their spouses, and they start breeding like dogs on the front lawn.
