El Clon, Mon., June 21 - Summary for Discussion

I guess Jade danced for Said 'cause the first scene of tonight's exciting episode is Said and Jade in a mall. What mall? TOMIM (the only mall in Miami), of course. Said leaves Jade for a few minutes and who does she see? Lucas, of course.

Clara has a plan to hook up with a young stud to make Escobar jealous after he left her for a 'mosca muerta,' literally, 'a dead fly.'

Malicia brings her reptilian charms to the lab and cons Escobar, aka, Ratoncito (little mouse) [is she referring to his equipment?] out of his credit and debit cards.

Jade and Lucas escape from Said. Roberto runs into Said and lets him know that he was meeting Lucas at the mall.

Luisa wants Albieri to forbid Malicia to visit the lab. He refuses and then Luisa tells him that she is sure that Malicia knows about the embryo substitution. Albieri puts on his agonized look and flashes back to accusing Malicia of messing with his cloning diary.

Lucas takes Jade to his love nest.

Said returns home in a fury. He accuses Zoraida of helping Jade to meet Lucas. He searches Jade's room and finds Latifa's cell phone. Now he's sure that Mohamed was in on the deception, too. He tells Zoraida to pack Jade's bags.

Lucas tells Jade to stay at the love nest and then they can run away to Italy. Jade replies that they have to wait until the divorce finalizes so that she can leave with Jadiya. Lucas says that bad things happen when they wait. Jade utters the fateful phrase, 'Nunca, nadie ni nada va a volver separarnos, nunca,' 'No one and nothing will ever separate us'.

Another close encounter of the clone kind - Daniel is apparently hanging around outside of the love nest. [Why?] He just misses seeing Jade leave.

Said and Mohamed confront Latifa with the phone and accuse her of helping Jade. She barely manages to say that she didn't know what happened to the phone when the Naz comes in and delivers a tirade against Latifa and Jade but also against Said and Mohamed that leaves them speechless for a moment.

Then Mohamed announces his punishment of Latifa - no conjugal visits for a month.

Jade appears and defends Latifa by saying that she took Latifa's phone without her knowledge. She tells Said that she lost him in the mall and had to take a bus to Mohamed's house because she didn't have money for a cab. Said that he has made a decision and she will find out what it is when she gets back to the house.

Alej visits his Mom while Nati is at the apartment cleaning. Leo calls Nati and says that he wants to meet her and that he will send her money through Rosa. Marisa overhears this conversation and tells Leo that he is not helping the situation.

Clara meets her young stud at a club. Enrique gets wasted while Carolina frets.

When Jade gets home, she sees her bags backed. Said says that she wanted to run away and now she will have the opportunity.

Abdul comes to Ali's house and tells his servants that Jade is returning from America and that until Ali returns from South America, Ali will be in charge and run Ali's house like a prison camp. Amina, who came with Abdul, takes pleasure in telling Ali's servant, Carima, that Latifa is in trouble too for conspiring with Jade.

Latifa is in the doghouse and Mohamed won't eat the goodies she made.

Albieri comes to Dora's house to see Daniel. Dora makes him go to the club and clear up her problem with Osvaldo. Albieri swears to Osvaldo that although he treats Daniel as his son, he has never had any relationship with Dora and that Daniel is not really his son. Dora and Osvaldo reconcile but probably not for the last time.

Lucia, Andrea and apparently, Fernando, are going somewhere for 2 days. Roberto is alone and when the cat's away...

Malicia comes to Cristina's club. She makes nice but Vicki is suspicious of her. Outside, Malicia fantasizes about having Cristina's job at the new club and says that she will see how long Cristina's luck lasts.

Albieri goes to see his priest friend. He says that he will die if he doesn't tell someone.

The credits roll.

Great summary, Jean. You've managed to cover all the action succinctly and with great humor. I especially loved your remark "Ratoncito (little mouse) [is she referring to his equipment?]"

I've gotta say, I'm really losing patience with this TN. The writers seem to be recycling the same predicaments over and over again. It could have been cut by 75% and nothing would be missing except the bloat. It still seems better than "Soy Tu Dueña," both in the acting and in the story, but that's not saying much!
 

I loved the "Ratoncito" comment too! Thanks for today's summary -- well-written as always!

The image of Lucas's face pressed up against the window as he waves goodbye to Jade was reminiscent of the scene when the child Daniel catches a glimpse of Natalia and waves to her through a taxi window. It felt very poignant... and final.

I don't fault Lucas and Jade for stealing a few moments of happiness together -- deep down they both know how unlikely it is that they will get out of there -- together, alive and with Jadiya -- no matter what they do or how much they deny themselves.

Mohamed is emerging as a distinctly unattractive person, weak and disloyal. If it weren't for all the suffering it would cause for his children and Latifa, I'd say it would serve him right to end up married to that nasty little Amina.

BTW, ya gotta admit, nothing says "Suegra" like a pink plastic flamingo!
 

I forgot about the pink flamingo. I was going to put in a picture of that. That was a cute moment.

Jade and Lucas- what can I say. All they had to do was wait a month and half but no, Jade has to engage in reckless conduct that puts Zoraida and Latifa at risk and makes it more likely that she won't be with Lucas but whatever.
 

Loved the pictures. Summary great as always. Might even get to watch this episode this morning! From the pix, however, have to assume we will be teased for a while with almost face-to-face meetings of Jade and Daniel. Don't really want to know ahead of time, but am tempted just to ask someone who saw the original when the first real meeting will occur. Please don't tell me. Lois
 

Jean, thank you for the summary and photos.

Jade is dumber than a box full of rocks. Everyone has told her she not going to get her daughter and a divorce. She is making me crazy, I feel no sympathy for her at this point.

Mo is on my bad list today. Shame on him. He really does deserve someone like Amina as a 2nd wife.

It is too bad the Muslim women cannot have more than one husband.

What is going to take for Ratoncito to see what Alicia is really like. He "had" a lovely wife and family and gave it all up along with his credit and debit cards. What a putz.

Why is Abdul at Ali's house. Are he and Amina moving in to "rule the roost"?

Juanita: ITA about 'losing patience.' Like I said asked last week, when is this merry-go-round gonna end? how many more episodes, i wonder.

Still, this is better than Univision tns. The storylines of Nati/Alej, Cristina, the Naz are what keeps me tuned in. Not even El Clon is interesting.
 

Thank you, Jean. A appreciate you and NovelaM for keeping up with the summaries.

I've been good. I've mostly kept my kwetching private. So please indulge me just this once (for now). Show of hands? After last night's cap, how many recappers are glad that we shifted from full recaps to summaries? ME!! Others?

I didn't watch last night, and the only thing I regret missing is the pink flamingo!
 

The pink flamingo was cute.

As long as there a place to post comments, summaries are fine with me, since I get CC3.
 

NovelaMaven, I love your comment "nothing says 'Suegra' like a pink plastic flamingo." I think I'll bring one the next time I visit my son and daughter-in-law, and if they give me a funny look (but why would they?), I'll quote your remark!
 

Juanita, I'm quite sure your kids will be thrilled, especially your daughter-in-law! jajaja!

"It is too bad the Muslim women cannot have more than one husband."
OMG, Rosemary!!! Why would they want to??? :)

Jean, I have to tell you I cracked up when I read --

"All they had to do was wait a month and half but no, Jade has to engage in reckless conduct that puts Zoraida and Latifa at risk and makes it more likely that she won't be with Lucas but whatever."

You sound so parental here -- I can just imagine you, brazos en jarras, scolding these naughty novela children! (I mean the children are naughty,not the novela. The novela is actually pretty tame...)
 

NovelaMaven, more husbands, more gold, of course. (Just kidding).

Rosemary
 

Thanks, Jean. You got all the high spots (if you can call them that). Jade and Lucas keep risking everything.

One thing I noticed, you had said that Tio Abdul would be in charge until Said returned from South America. I'm pretty sure it's Ali who's in South America. I guess Said plans to stay in the US, presumably with Jadiya and Rania.

Looks like you were right on about a chance for Jade and the clone to meet in Morocco.
 

You're right, Novelera, it should be Ali not Said who is in SA.

I'm glad we went to summaries. This novela does not merit recaps. I am interested in how the clone business plays out and in Nati and Alej. The rest, including Lucas and Jade - couldn't care less.

I believe the novela is supposed to end in August.
 

Thanks Jean. Jade and Lucas!! I wonder if it is illegal to clone a human being in the USA. I'll be out of town for about a week.
