Caray, Caray!

The mystery kisser in blue crashes the party and the Naz redeems herself-

It's the big night! The opening of Salamandra, Sein's club. Malicia is checking invites at the door. She clearly doesn't enjoy working at such a menial task while Cristina hobnobs with the guests.

Inside the decor is so Tutanhkamen via Las Vegas! Hieroglyphs on the walls and the waitresses with those pharaoh hats (why didn't they have Malicia wear one of those?)

Said and Rania are just getting ready to leave for the party. The Naz is happy to stay with Jadiya. [You would think the Naz would be dying to go to a party like that.] Jade shows up outside the house crying and begging to see Jade. Said is unmoved. He tells the guards not to let Jade in and he and Rania leave.

At the party Said runs into Marisa,
'¿Te gusta mi collar?' Do you like my necklace? asks Marisa, 'Me lo regaló un marroquí, guapísimo,' A super handsome Moroccan guy gave it to me.

Pablo urges Alej to go to the opening and try and get his job back but Alej doesn't think it is worth it.

Just what we needed. A new skank, cousin to Karla and Hilda, shows up fresh from committing insurance fraud by making false accident claims.

Roberto jokes with Enrique and says that he had better not have the drinks that are being served or he will see Diego at the party. Marisa says that she hopes Diego shows up. She would marry him. That marriage would work.

The Naz is not hard-hearted enough to be able to ignore Jade's pleas.

She lets Jade in the house and lets her see Jadiya.

Leo and Amalia arrive. Cristina greets them and then makes out ostentatiously with Pablo.

Dora is watching a program where a woman describes symptoms similar [I guess] to Dora's. The woman says that she never imagined that it was a fatal condition... Dora turns off the program when Daniel comes in dressed á la Arabe to go to the bar opening.

The Naz hustles Jade out of the house when Jadiya falls asleep.

The host (anfitrión) of the party and the owner of the bar, Sein is presented. [It's Tiberio Cruz, who played Pajarote on Doña Bárbara and Hércules in La Traición.]

Nati and Alej meet at Gloria's. Alej flashes back to when he gave Nati her bracelet (pulsera).
'Tú me hacías tan feliz,' You made me so happy, says Nati. Alej protests her use of the past (imperfect) tense. Nati says that nothing is the same (nada es igual). Alej agrees that everything has changed, 'porque yo te quiero más, mucho más,' because I love you more, much more. Gloria spoils the mood by making threats against Nati's family if any further harm comes to Alej.

Fernando is still ruing the loss of the car. He tells Clara that his father deceived him.

Malicia tells the Chump that Cristina didn't go a good job at the opening and she is sure that she will replace Cristina very soon. The Chump tells her that the papers putting her name on the apartment will be signed in 15 days.

Daniel shows up in his weird Bedouin costume with his face covered like he was in a sandstorm. We recall that way back at the beginning of the novela, Diego or Lucas wore something like this. Where did Daniel get it? He locks eyes with Cristina. This is history repeating itself, folks.

Jade has nowhere to go (she has the key Lucas gave her but maybe she doesn't have the address). She goes to Mohamed's house and Latifa lets her stay. Zamira tells Jade that she doesn't want her husband chosen for her. 'Sólo te puedo consejar que luches por lo que quieres hacer ahora, porque después puede ser más tarde,' I can only advise you to fight for what you want to have now because later it could be too late, Jade tells Zamira.

Daniel and Cristina kiss.

He has to pull down his face covering to kiss Cristina and she has to close her eyes so as not to recognize Daniel as Lucas. It's rather awkward. What is this supposed to mean? That a clone of Lucas remembers something that Diego did?

The next morning Cristina tells Vicki that with all the stress of the opening and seeing Leo with Amelia, she lost her head. 'Lo besé sin conocerlo,' I kissed him without knowing who it was, she says. Cristina goes on to say that the whole situation reminded her of what happened in Morocco when she lost her chance to marry Leo.

At Said's house, Jadiya wakes up and asks where her mother is. Said is suspicious but the Naz insists that Jadiya dreamed the whole thing.

Mohamed is angry that Latifa let Jade stay with them. He, of course, wants to tell Said right away. Jade comes in and says that Mohamed is right, 'Yo escogí mi suerte,' I chose my fate (literally, luck), says Jade. There is a knock on the door. It's Ali back from his trip. Jade asks him if it is true that Said can prevent her from seeing her child.

Back in Fez, Zoraida tells Abdul that Ali has returned to Miami and she has to go take care of him. Amina says that she wants to go back, too to see Rania.

Said keeps flashing back to Jade begging to see Jadiya. Rania tells the Naz that Said still suffers for Jade. 'No es cierto. Se acostumbró al maltrato que es muy diferente. Hasta le gusta,' That's not true. He got used to being mistreated and ended up liking it, says the Naz.

What is Marisa doing at Leo's house? She asks if Nati would like to study abroad. Nati says no. She is happy here. Nati asks Marisa if she is seeing anyone. Marisa asks what Andrea told her. Nati replies that Andrea didn't tell her anything, '¿Acaso ella sabe algo?' Does she know something? This, of course, confirms the fact for Nati.

At school, Andrea tells Nati that she saw Marisa and a man kissing. When Nati identifies Marisa's lover, Nati correctly concludes that it was Marisa who got Alej fired from his job.

Marisa calls Said and says she wants to see him. When they are in bed together, she tells him, 'Ellos nos vencieron,' they defeated us. She says that all she and Said ever talk about and think about are Jade and Lucas. She says that they are never alone, 'siempre somos los cuatro,' there are always the four of us. Said asks who Marisa wants to get vengeance on more, Lucas or Jade. Marisa says it would be Jade because had Jade not existed, her relationship with Lucas would have been different. She says that Lucas liked to fall in love with the impossible and she made herself too available.

Ali leaves a message for Lucas to go at once to an address.

The credits roll.
