Caray, Caray!

Albieri explains to Estela that the identity of sperm donors is confidential. Estela does not let on that Daniel is back in town but tells Albieri that Daniel does not feel like part of their family and that must come from the father's genes.

[The writers seem to vacillate between suggesting that Daniel doesn't feel that he belongs in Dora's family because he not related genetically to them or because he is a clone. If the former, why did he feel at home with Albieri? Are they are suggesting that an adopted child would not feel part of his/her adopted family? Or, are they suggesting that Daniel does not feel at home in Dora's family because it was different from the way Lucas was brought up - with Albieri in his life and with lots of expensive toys. In other words, are they suggesting that Lucas' life experience somehow got into his genes? I think this is where we are going and a later scene provides more evidence that this is the case.]

Here we see that Albieri has an Apple iMac with the logo covered up.
After she leaves, Estela wonders if a doctor should examine Daniel.

Alicia calls Luisa to tell her that she isn't needed at the clinic.

Dora is overprotective with Daniel but he assures her that he will be fine.

In a post coital chat, Marisa tells Said that Lucas is planning to divorce her. Said says that he might not want to do that after the news Said has for him.

Ali warns Jade that she will reap what she has sown with Said.

Lucas tells Rosa that he will pay any price to be with Jade. He also tells her that at first Nati's relationship with Alej caused him concern but if Nati loves Alej, he wants her have the experience. He doesn't want to do to his daughter what Leo did to him. Rosa agrees and in a surprising turnaround, Rosa, who only the other day said that Jade was the cause of all the misfortune that had befallen the family, now tells Lucas that she should have helped him marry Jade. She doesn't think he would have been happy with her,
pero por lo menos no estarías diciendo que tu vida habria sido diferente al lado de ella.
but at least you wouldn't be saying that your life would have been different at her side.
Si pudiera regresarme 20 años... sería diferente, sería otro Lucas.
If I could go back 20 years, says Lucas, I would be different, I would be another Lucas.
So we are setting us up for the appearance of the 20 year old clone of Lucas who will be able to be a different Lucas.

The Naz is in pursuit of Pablo and she finds out where he gives aerobics classes. Zamira tells her that they need special clothing to go to exercise class. Reluctantly, Latifa lets them go shopping but insists that they can't go to the gym without Mohamed's permission.

Estela suggests to Dora that Daniel go to a doctor, presumably for a DNA test, to see why he is different from them.

Cristina is drowning her sorrows about Leo in ice cream.

Amalia fishes for info on Cristina from Clara but as a new hire she doesn't know anything.

Said shows up at the office without any advance notice. He tells Leo et al that he is now their associate. It transpires that he has bought up all the available stock of Leo's company. Leo is still the majority stockholder but that wouldn't be the case if Lucas sell the shares that he owns. Enrique tells Carolina about his concern that Lucas would sell his stock to get Jade back.

Leo has no confidence in Lucas' judgment when it comes to Jade. He tells Roberto to set up a meeting with his lawyers to see if there is a way to get the stock back from Lucas.

Nati tells Andrea that her house is like a caja de gatos (box of cats) with everyone fighting. Andrea one ups her by describing how Lucia made Roberto record videos of all the staff at the office explaining that the woman she heard at the office had nothing to do with Roberto.

Lucia is not sure she can believe the videos.

Jade, Rania and Jadiya leave for the States.

Karla with a K comes to shake Osvaldo down and meets Daniel.

Latifa is shocked at Zamira's exercise outfit and horrified by what the Naz chose. This made me laugh out loud. Way to go, Naz!

Jade, Rania and Jadiya arrive in Miami and go to Said's new house. Jade is pretty pleased with herself until she finds out that the phones in the house can't make outgoing calls and that the security detail won't let her leave the house. There's trouble brewing on the 2nd wife front, too. Rania thinks that Jade's room is nicer than hers and that Jade has more gold than she does.

Said goes to see Latifa. Latifa asks why he didn't bring Jade. Said, who has this sort of self-satisfied demeanor that indicates he has gone to the dark side, replies that Jade has things to do in the house and Latifa will see her later. Latifa hasn't listened to Zoraida's advice. She pitches a fit when told that Amina is arriving next week and says that the Naz is trying to push Amina on Mohamed as a second wife and she won't accept that. Said takes this as a criticism of Nazira and the brothers close ranks, as usual, to defend the Naz. Latifa leaves in a huff and Said says that more and more Latifa resembles Ali's bitchy wife, Duina.

Daniel is strangely attracted to Estela's jade ring so it's pretty clear that the writers want us to believe that Lucas' feelings for Jade are in his genes and that the clone got them, too.

Jade clutches her pendant and remembers Zoriada's 'two rivers meeting' prophecy. She says that her destiny is written and no one can change what Allah has decreed.

Clara leaves work early to try and catch Escobar and Alicia red handed.

Alicia provides further demonstration about why Luisa is no longer needed at the clinic. Luisa suggests that Albieri get Alicia a different job but he replies that she has become indispensable to the clinic.

For about the millionth time, Ali tell Zoraida how worried he is about what will happen with Jade. If Jade misbehaves, Rania will report it to her family and Ali won't be able to protect her and Nariza will be able to get Mohamed to take a 2nd wife. Zoraida asks if Ali would take Jade back if Said divorces her. Ali says that he won't, la tiro al viento, he will throw her to the wind.

Rania asks Jade why she only had one daughter. Jade replies that is all that Allah gave her. Rania expresses her wish to have lots of sons for Said. Jade asks Rania if she would like to be Said's first wife. She won't go into details yet. Said comes home. Jade demands to know why she is locked up like a prisoner. Said asks if she is sad that she hasn't been able to find out anything about Lucas. Then he tells her that Marisa is coming to dinner and Jade can ask her anything she wants about Lucas. Jade is impactada.

The credits roll.
