El Clon 53, Fri., April 30- Lucas & Jade can't escape seeing each other; Natalia can't escape from Alej; Zamira can't escape from growing up
Cris meets Lucas in a bar. His gaze is riveted to Jade's pendant around Cris' neck. He asks her where she got it.
'It's a long story (historia patria),' she says. She tells Lucas that not long after she opened the bar, a girl came in wearing it and Cris was blown away when she saw it, ('quedé muerta y sepultada,' literally, 'became dead and buried,'). She traded the girl's tab at the bar for the pendant. Lucas asks to buy the necklace (collar) from Cris for whatever she wants. He tells her it that it belonged to his Jade.
Jade is afraid to see Lucas again because she knows it will hurt. Latifa tells her to just laugh it off the same way she does when she sees Said who was originally going to marry her. Jade points out that it's not exactly the same. Jade spent the best hours of her life with Lucas. She is afraid that the happiness she hasn't had for so many years will return upon seeing Lucas.
I guess Ramon isn't Gloria's son because he calls her 'Doña Gloria.' He must be just an employee at the restaurant. He tells Gloria that he overheard ('escuchar sin querer,' 'listen without wanting to') Mohamed's kids saying that Mohamed's brother is a millionaire. Gloria reminds him that he was not supposed to get involved with that rabble (gentuza). She says that if she catches him snooping around them ('husmeando,' from 'husmear,' to scent, get wind of, pry into) she will cut out his tongue, chop it up and cook it ('te corto la lengua y me la como en picadillo').
Ramon seems to be a little gossip monger. Alej shows up at the restaurant and Ramon tells him that Victor (el asesino) bought Karla a car. Alej says that he isn't interested. Alej tells Gloria that his first day at work was a nightmare. His boss (jefa) is a brat (mocosa, literally snotty), spoiled (engreida), badly brought up (mal criada) and a daddy's girl (hijita de papá y mamá).
Natalia complains to Leo about having to have a chauffeur. She says that she is 18 and doesn't need a bodyguard (guardaespaldas) breathing down her neck (detrás de mí soplándome la oreja,' literally, 'behind me blowing in my ear'). She makes no headway with Leo at all.
Alej says that he can't stand working for Natalia and wants to get another job. He doesn't want to be anyone' slave for money. [He might think differently if he got into David's line of work - still a slave but better hours and more money.] Gloria sees a business opportunity and gives Alej a menu from her restaurant to give to his employers before he quits.
There is a party for Said's family at Mohamed's house. Mohamed complains to Ali about his neighbor Gloria's business. He says that not only is she a woman, she is out of control (desbocada), extravagant and everyone's favorite bad thing - an exhibitionist. He doesn't want his kids growing up seeing her bad example. [You should have stayed in Morocco, then.] Prince Amin pipes up and says that when he grows up he wants to run his father's store and go to Morocco to get a wife. Jade points out that there are lots of women in the US. Latifa replies that when the time comes, she and Mohamed will go to Morocco with him and find a nice religious wife.
Jadiya tells Zamira that she can't wait to get her first period 'cause her Daddy will load her up with gold. Zamira replies that gold is horrible and an ugly color.
Alicia makes points with Albieri by sewing the buttons on a shirt that he wants to wear to the party.
Latifa discovers that Zamira got her her first period. Latifa thinks Zamira should be happy about this development because she is becoming a woman. Zamira begs Latifa not to tell Mohamed because she doesn't want to have to wear a veil. She doesn't want to go to school dressed like an extraterrestrial. It's bad enough what she has to wear now. Latifa agrees to say nothing Mohamed for time being but says that it isn't something she can hide forever.
Albieri and Luisa arrive at the party.
Lucas makes his pitch for Cristina to Leo. Leo says that Cristina ruined his marriage with Sofía and their night in the hotel never should have happened. Lucas asks Leo why he doesn't accept that he adores Cris and can't live without her. Leo tells him to fix the problems with his own wife before giving advice about Leo's love life.
Ali says that when he read that someone claimed to have created a human clone, he thought it must be Albieri's work. Albi says that he doesn't believe the claim because no proof has been provided and anyway it isn't the first human clone. Albi denies that he has any actual knowledge that a human clone has been created while thinking to himself how much he wishes that he could confess everything (deshogar) to Ali.
Latifa and Jade explain to Luisa the whole milk-sibling reason that Latifa couldn't marry Said.
Latifa and Jade try and teach Luisa to dance.
Rosa refuses to let Natalia go out with her friends without Alej. She won't lie to Leo saying that lies have a way of being discovered ('la mentira tiene patas cortas,' literally, 'the lie has short legs')
Alej's former girlfriend shows up. She knows he didn't set up her fight with Karla and she tells him that she still loves him. Alej is saved by the Rosa's call summoning him to work.
But when Alej arrives at the house, Natalia is in her jammies and says that she has changed her mind about going out.
Marisa returns from her art opening. Just like years ago, Lucas is fondling Jade's pendant. Fortunately, he doesn't let Marisa see it. Marisa says some nice things to Lucas but he has left the room. She calls David for some consolation sex.
Estela is back in town and looks much better with what is clearly her own hair and without the weird wig. Dora shows her their new place. She says that she will buy stuff little by little so that it will be furnished when Daniel comes home. [And what makes you think that a 20-year old who has lived on his own wants to come back and live with his mama and grandma?] Dora tells Estela that Albieri doesn't know about this place but she did tell him that Daniel was in Miami. She says that Albieri has contacts who can put Daniel's picture in the newspaper or on television. [We know how likely that is to happen.] Estela has a recent picture of Daniel that she is going to put up all over town and find Daniel without Albieri's help.
It appears that Clara's son, Fernando, is going to be an intern (practicante) in Leo's business. Clara gives him a lot of advice on how to behave to which neither he nor Escobar pay the slightest attention, much to Clara's annoyance.
Natalia gets no support from her mother in her campaign to get rid of Alejandro.
Said shows up unannounced at Leo's workplace. Lucas tries to bolt without success. Roberto introduces Said to Lucas and they stare at each other like junkyard dogs.
Jade, meanwhile, wonders where Said is and whether he has seen Lucas. She gets Jadiyah to call him but aside from finding out that Said is in a meeting, she is none the wiser. Lucas is sure that Said was talking to Jade. When Leo finds out that Said's family is in Miami, he invites them to dinner at his house. Said looks at Lucas and says to himself that it was Lucas' fault that Jade never loved him.
Alej tells Rosa about his mother's restaurant and gives her the menu. He doesn't get to finish his lunch before Natalia announces she is leaving.
Rosa asks Marisa's help to organize the dinner for the Moroccan delegation. Marisa suggests a Moroccan dinner. [Why wouldn't you do something typical of the US for these people from Morocco?]
Albieri and Luisa are showing Ali around his lab. Way back when he was in Morocco with Lucas and Diego, Albieri defended the Islamic culture as different but not bad. Now he he all snarky and critical.
Once again, Mohamed announces that their family will be blessed with a visit from Nariza and once again, Latifa is able to contain her excitement at this news.
Said returns to the hotel and tells Jade that they are going to have dinner at the Ferrer house tomorrow. Jade is impactada. Said asks Ali, and Mohamed and his family to go to the dinner as well. Ali looks worried. Jade tells Latifa that she hasn't had to courage to ask Said if he has seen Lucas.
Leo is enchanted with Marisa's preparations for the dinner. Lucas fondles Jade's pendant and says that he has to find a way to get out of going to the dinner.
Natalia escapes from Alej.
Tío Abdul tells Nariza to behave in Miami because she will be setting an example for her nieces and nephews. As usual, Nariza replies that the children have mothers and no one cares about what she wants.
Zamira introduces Jadiyah to reggaetton (the 'baby baby' song we've heard a thousand times). Prince Amin scurries by obviously hiding something. The girls surprise him putting money in his piggy bank (alcancía). 'Caught you! (¡Te pillé!) says Zamira. She says that she knows that he is stealing cards (cartulinas) from their Dad's store and selling them for himself. She says that she will tell Mohamed. Amin says that he will tell that Zamira was dancing to forbidden music and teaching it to Jadiyah.
Alej is sure that he has lost his job but Rosa agrees to cover up for him.
Marisa taunts Lucas about not wanting to go down to the party because of the Arab theme and decorations. Lucas says that he has bigger problems than her party decorations.
The guests arrive. [Why does Alej need to be in the house when obviously Natalia isn't going anywhere?]
Jade arrives at the party. She looks like a giant creamsicle.
Lucas and Jade see each other.
The credits roll.
'It's a long story (historia patria),' she says. She tells Lucas that not long after she opened the bar, a girl came in wearing it and Cris was blown away when she saw it, ('quedé muerta y sepultada,' literally, 'became dead and buried,').

What a great recap, Jean! Thanks so much. I loved some of your descriptions: Lucas and Said "stare at each other like junkyard dogs" and Jade "looks like a giant creamsicle." Perfect! I too wondered why in the world Dora would expect her now-grown son to live at home if and when she finds him. Then again, since she lives in TN land, it makes perfect sense.
Do you think Estela's recent photo of Daniel will indeed be circulated and seen by the right people--e.g., Leo, who would be muy impactada by the resemblance to Diego?
Also, many thanks for all the Spanish. I find it very helpful.

Thanks so much for another super job, Jean!
Like Juanita, I especially liked the "Junkyard dogs" description (and photo) -- perfect for our two competing galanes.
So now our favorite metiche, Mama Rosa, has become an official Friend of Alej. You know if Natalia and Alej were to get together, Gloria and Marisa would be consuegras. Think about it...
Juanita, I'm sure Estela can be trusted to do what she says. I'm guessing Daniel's photo will be seen by someone on the edge of the circle who will ultimately bring it to the attention of those in the center -- Leo and Lucas. Unless, of course, Daniel himself shows up first.
Jean, I loved your throwaway line: "Latifa is able to contain her excitement at this news"
to describe the scene where Mohamed tells Latifa that Nasira is coming to Miami. To me, this scene was hilarious!

Thanks, Jean! They haven't posted Friday's video yet so I really appreciated the photos. I'll write more once I get to see the actual video. TM has everything blocked on YouTube right now, the lazy bums!
Thanks all for the support. I found this episode very tedious. I guess my prediction that the clone would appear on Monday with a Friday teaser was wrong. Sigh.
I'm sure that it would never enter Rosa's head that Natalia and Alej would get together. She is just embarrassed at Natalia's behavior towards Alej. Gloria as Leo's inlaw would be great. She and Cris would get along great.
Now that Jade's pendant is back with Lucas, I thought it might be worthwhile to look at Zoraida's coffee-ground reading again to see if it makes more sense now.
Here it is:
Jade asks where her stone is. Zoraida says that it is very far away. Jade asks if someone found it. Zoraida says, "I see a hand hiding it. It's an encounter in time. When the past meets the present in the figure of a man, you will get the stone back."
You could interpret this to mean that the 'figure of a man who combines the past and the present' is the clone and that somehow he will be involved in returning Jade's pendant. Let it be so. Let the clone be involved in something. Let him just show up!! ;-)

Thanks for an exciting recap, Jean...!!!
Do you think the clone, Alej and Natalia will become a love triangle...???
I guess I missed the Latifa/Said milk thing preventing them from marrying. Can someone tell me about that...???

Ann: Said was orginally going to marry Latifa. Nariza found out that they had both had the same wet nurse, known as a 'tamara'. Under Islamic tradition, if two babies share the same wet nurse, they are considered milk sister/brothers and are prohibited from marrying. Ali decided that Latifa would marry Mohamed and Jade would marry Said.
Remember that the clone is going to look exactly like Natalia's father. He might fall in love with her but I doubt she would be interested in him.
Jean, thanks for reminding us about Zoraida's coffee-grounds prophecy about the necklace. I think you're right--the clone sounds like he'll be the one to deliver the necklace. Sometime in our lifetime :-).
Thanks, Jean, for the info on the milk sibling issue. Now I remember something about it.
Also, I think you're right about Natalia not going for the clone. I forgot he would look like her father. But I'm looking forward to Alej and Natalia getting together. They're both so cute.

Thank you for the great recap, Jean. I don't know if you meant this line to be funny: "Jade spent the best hours of her life with Lucas." But to me it highlights a key point. Jade saw Lucas for a grand total of a few hours, and she has spent the past, what? 15 years or something? pining for the loser. Get a life, Tutz!
Hi Paula: Yes, I said 'the best hours of her life' for exactly the reason you described. Jade actually said that Lucas was her life and that her heart jumped every time she saw him - all 10 or 15 times that she saw him. But that's TN's for you. True love is immediate and eternal. Jade's has suffered and we've suffered because of it.
Yes, Jean, telenovela love, "love is immediate and eternal." I say it's lazy writing. That's one of the things I loved most about Fea.
* Don Fernando took 86 cap's to fall in love, gradually, step by well-supported, well-documented step.
* He took another 80 cap's to realize he was in love.
* After that, he took another 83 cap's to transform from selfish love to self-sacrificing love.
And note, he didn't win the sweet young thing UNTIL he demonstrated self-sacrificing love. In both the Colombian and the Mexican (with the 50 tacked-on caps), he didn't win until there was a specific demonstration of self sacrifice.

Ok. Somebody finally got secret epi's up which TM hasn't blocked and I was able to watch this episodio a escondida. (Pardon the airport page in the background.....) Sheesh!
Thanks for the rundown. Now why didn't Alej jump in the car and at least try to catch the 3 juvies? They may have tons of money but I see them as worse trash than Gloria and the gang. I have very little patience with Natalia, less for airhead Andrea, and none for Fernando the rich-boy wanna-be. HOw the holy hell did he land an internship at Ferrer, Inc.? Don't tell me Naty begged her abue to give him a go at it?

Thanks, Jean, excellent recap. Monday should be interesting. This is going to be one crackling with electricity dinner at Casa Ferrer.
I really don't like Gloria much. I know she's supposed to be the earthy, working class mama. But she's just shrill and over the top. And the endless "baby" remarks toward her grown son are getting on my last nerve.
Fernando could have gotten the internship because his mother works there (or does she work at Albieri's place; can't remember).
I agree about the Moroccan dinner, mil y una noches. How dumb is that. They should have done Miami stone crabs. And after all these years, Leo still fawns over Marisa. The guy is completely clueless about everything.

Jean, once again, great recap---Jade as a creamsicle, indeed!
Of all the potential love interests for Bratty Natty, who would have guessed Alej? I never saw that one coming! Should be interesting.

I still like Natalia. She seemed a very sweet and vulnerable girl. What's turned her bratty is her stubborn grandfather who treats her just like he treated his sons. He never listens to anyone's desires but his own. He desires never to have to worry about Natalia's safety, so her desire to be a normal teenager, drive a car, and hang out with friends without a bodyguard are completely disregarded.

Novelera: all good points. Fern's daddy works for Albi and mom works for Ferrer, Sr.
Could be that Leo, after losing Diego, has gone off the deep end wanting to protect his granddaughter to help assuage his guilty conscience of 20 yrs. Not that it isn't overboard, but the reason. Mama and perhaps even Papa had chauffer/bodyguards in the day, right? Also, I don't think her gang don't come from the money (aka ransom-rich) Naty does. Somebody needs to explain the situation in plain language to her.

Novelera and Black Heart, I still like Natalia, too, even though she is going through kind of a bratty, rebellious thing right now.
And Black Heart, I was thinking the same thing about why Leo is so overprotective -- he is still reacting to, atoning for Diego's death. It's the same reason he can't permit himself to be happy with Cristina.
Novelera,
Remember what happens at the beginning of 'Las mil y una noches'? The Persian king discovers his young wife has been unfaithful to him and he kills her. ¿Qué está tramando esa bruja Marisa? (What's that witch Marisa up to?)

Fernando told his mother that his internship at Ferrer Co. was to see if he preferred a career in business administration or international law.
So far, he has been portrayed as a surfer dude who pretends an interest in Natalia and not as someone who appeared to have the slightest interest in a career. But there are plenty of jerks in business administration - look at Leo.
Lucas and Diego certainly didn't have chauffeur/bodyguards when they were young. Before they went to Morocco, Diego had a sporty convertible and Lucas had a jeep or something.
Leo's concern is understandible in this day and age. What is surprising is that he waited so long to do it.

Yes, NovelaMaven. I've got a really bad feeling about what Marisa is up to. I badly want someone in the novela to just slap her across her smug face.
I was sort of surprised Marisa decided to go the male escort route. I expected her to hook up with the husband of her friend, who seems to be the lech his wife thinks he is.

I ALWAYS get a bad feeling about what Marisa is up to because it is always evil, evil, evil. And she is always talking about how much she has had to put up with, which is extra annoying, in addition.
I don't think she would risk an affair with Roberto because it would be too risky for both of them with blackmail opportunities. If she had a mad passion for Roberto, they might get together but as far as I can tell, she is incapable of loving anyone but herself and it makes sense for her to go for professional services.

Good point, Jean. Since Marisa only loves Marisa, getting it on with the paid guy is a good option for her.

LynnE - actually, their homesite had all of them when I tried it! Yippee Skippee! Don't know how you did it, but you're a life saver. Thanks, again!
:). I managed to find them all by doing a google search on dailymotion.com el clon and capitulo and parte.
I wonder if this is a new trend for telemundo .. or just a lousy webmaster. Telemundo might as well put them out there or else people will pirate them.
