El Clon, Mon., September 6 - Summary for Discussion
The pregnancies advance to term
Daniel does a bunk
Everything else is pretty much the same
Rosa tells Leo that she and Daniel (of course, she calls him 'Diegito') are going to the mall to buy some things for his room. Leo tells her that if the kid wants stuff for his room or to remodel the whole house, 'que lo haga', let him do it. He also tells her to buy Daniel a lot of clothes.
Marisa and Lucia come in with shopping bags. (I guess Marisa has decided to try shopping therapy for her problems). When Leo leaves, Lucia says that she has never seen Leo in such a good mood (buen animo). Marisa replies that the appearance of Daniel has changed everything. Lucia confesses herself to be dying to see Daniel. Marisa says that she is impacted every times she sees Daniel. 'Me estremece,' he makes he tremble, she says. She tells Lucia, 'es que me toca el corazon,' he has touched her heart and reawakened everything that she had thought was over with Lucas. Lucia asks if Lucas feels the same way. Marisa doesn't know. Lucas refuses to see Daniel.
Daniel arrives at Leo's house.
Andrea is with Pablo talking about Natalia. Pablo does not want to see Alej go down with Nati. If she doesn't want help, there's nothing that they can do. Diana arrives and tells them that Paula has been arrested numerous times for drugs, assault and robbery. She found this out on the internet. Andrea decides to go tell Nati about this. When she is gone, Diana says what we have been suspecting - that Andrea is in love with Pablo. Diana thinks Andrea would be great for Pablo but he says that, 'Alicia es muy buena novia para mí', Alicia is a very good girlfriend for me.
Luisa and Anita double team the Chump. They ask why he put the apartment in the name of someone he just met when he has known Clara for 20 years. The Chump trots out the old story of Clara dating younger men and doing crazy things. '¡Exactamente!,' says Luisa, 'Si no puedes confiar en alguien, que conoces hace años, ¿cómo vas a confiar en una persona que conoces hace meses?' Exactly, if you can't have confidence in someone you've known for years, how can you trust someone you have known a few months? They advise the Chump to get a good lawyer right away to try and get his apartment back. When Escobarde hesitates, Anita can't contain herself and tells him that Malicia has shacked up with a guy who is, 'mucho más joven que tú ... incluso... ¡mucho más guapo!' much younger than you, and also.. much handsomer than you!' The Chump is impactado.
Clara tells Carolina that the celebration the previous night was wonderful. Fernando and Rogelio talked for hours and seemed to get along. Fernando went out afterwards to find his friends in the band. She didn't have an opportunity to speak with him in the morning because he was asleep. Carolina is sure that her relationship with Rogelio will develop ('tu historia con Rogelio está yendo lejos,' literally, 'your story with Rogelio is going far). Clara is thinking about living with Rogelio. Carolina tells her that means that she has gotten over the divorce.
Leo gushes to Enrique about how his life has changed since Daniel came into it. He can't understand why Albieri didn't tell him about Daniel before. Then he tells Enrique what an amazing job Roberto is doing in preparing the paternity lawsuit. He says that he thought Roberto was mostly a business lawyer and is surprised at his hitherto unknown abilities. Enrique makes some sarcastic comments about how sometimes we don't notice the people around us who are talented and competent and they get treated like garbage but fortunately that has never happened to Leo. Leo asks what he is trying to say. Enrique replies that if he had something to say to Leo, he would say it. He says that he hopes Leo values the person behind the lawsuit.
Rosa and Daniel are shopping. Rosa shows Daniel a shirt in the style and brand that Diego liked. Daniel says that isn't his style and Rosa doesn't object.
Lucas is astonished to find the Diego shrine room practically empty. Marina, the maid, tells him that Leo ordered that whatever Daniel didn't want to be removed and that he and Rosa are buying new stuff at the mall.
When Leo comes home, Lucas asks him to explain what is going on. No one could even enter Diego's room for 20 years and now he want a stranger to live there? Leo protests that Daniel is not a stranger, he is his son. Lucas says that Leo doesn't even know that Daniel is his son. He just looks like Lucas and Leo has not insisted on a DNA test. Leo tells Lucas to see the boy before he makes any decisions. Leo tells Lucas that he knows that Daniel isn't Diego and that he isn't crazy. He says that the kid is so much like Lucas that it is like having Diego here all over again. Lucas finds the whole thing suspicious. He wonders whether Leo refuses to have a DNA test because he is afraid of the results. Lucas says that a person can be identical to someone else and not be related. Leo repeats that when Lucas sees Daniel, he will understand. Lucas says that he doesn't accept Leo's plan to take Daniel from Dora and that he told Dora that he would stop Leo from pursuing it. Like it or not, says Leo, I'm asserting my parental rights and bringing Daniel to live in the house.
The Chump forces his way into Malicia's apartment and tells her to get her stuff and leave. She dares him to call the police. He has no proof that the apartment isn't hers. The Chump can't contain himself and blabs that he knows Malicia is seeing someone else. Somehow, Malicia manages to convince the Chump that she is being maligned and he apologizes to her (!).
Jade, Zoraida and Ali return to Fez. Jade tells Zoraida that she misses Jadiya so much. She says that if she had known that she would end up barren and alone without a husband, she wouldn't have cared as long as she was with Jadiya.
Without realizing that he is listening, the Naz tells Zumaya and Zamira that Mohamed is more like Tío Abdul every day. He doesn't live in the present. In Cairo, women walk around unattended, they have men friends and go to university. Zamira says that she just wants to go to university and be independent. '¿Y sabes qué mas?' And you know what else? says the Naz, 'Ellas van a las discotecas y a los bares solas. ¡Solas!' They go to discoteques and bars alone. Alone! Mohamed accuses the Naz of spreading corruption and says that he doesn't want any Cairo feminists in his house.
Dora tells Estela that Daniel has left the house with all his things.
Daniel has done a bunk on Leo, too. Leo orders Roberto to find him.
Amina and Rania are effecting some ritual to nullify Jadiya's dream and ensure that Rania has a boy.
Jadiya tells the maid that she is sure the spell won't work and Rania will have a girl as ugly as a frog (sapo). The ritual involves giving pastries to boys and saying each time that she hopes her child will be as strong and healthy as this kid. Evidently, these kids have not been told not to accept food from strangers.
We leap forward in time. Rania is great with child, Said is attentive and Jadiya is sad.
Alej has won some fights. He wants Nati to go to Atlanta with him for the next one but she says that she has to study for finals. 'Tú sí sabes que esto es por ti,' You know that all this is for you, says Alej, (the sí emphasizes the verb) It's for their future. Alej says that Andrea is coming over and Nati gets angry, accusing Alej of sending Andrea to keep an eye on her. As soon as Alej leaves for the airport, Nati gets some money and heads out to see Paula. She tells Paula that she needs a hit (pase) because of the stress of waiting for the results of Alej's fight. Paula needs a hit, too because of the stress of living with her mother. [I thought her mother threw her out?]
Andrea comes over but no Nati.
Fight night at Gloria's. She says a prayer that Alej will succeed.
He does. Alej returns to Miami. He calls Andrea and tells her that he can't contact Nati.
Nati is in the scary drug dealer place. She doesn't have the money to pay for her drugs and we get another PSA from Enrique.
Nati tells Paula to call Alej and tell him to bring the money to the drug dealer.
Big welcome at Gloria's for Alej. Gloria says that she loves seeing him on TV. It's beers all around. Paula shows up and tells Alej that Nati is being held a prisoner until he brings what she owes. Alej wants to call the police but Paula tells him that these people are dangerous and will kill Nati if the police are called. She says that Nati owes the dealer $600. Alej tells Gloria that he will go get Nati and be right back. Paula demands that he buy her a hit before she takes him where Nati is.
It seems like Karla is is diverging from the sugar daddy religion of Hilda. Hilda doesn't think much of Alej's achievements in the ring. She says that the best profession is, 'aquella que dé mucho, ¡pero mucho dinero! al hombre que me pueda mantener,' is one that gives lots, I mean lots, of money to the man who has to support me. She says that Karla would rather be pregnant by some poor guy like Alej. Karla agrees. Alej loved her and she loved him. 'Los hombres no se enamoran de uno; no uno se enamora de ellos. ¡Sencillamente, te usan! ¡O tú los usas a ellos!' Men don't fall in love; and one doesn't fall in love with them. They simply use you or you use them, says Hilda scornfully. Karla says that she would rather spend her life with a young guy that she likes rather than the old guys Hilda wants her to marry.
Alej goes to the drug place but without any money. The drug dealer is a little irritated, as you might expect. He says that if Alej doesn't come up with the money, bad things will happen to Nati.
The credits roll.

Great recap, Jean, as always. Thanks VERY much. I confess that I'm a bit confused about time. No, I'm not about to make a Grand Philosophical Statement--I just can't figure out the time sequences that permit Rania's pregnancy to be almost at term while Karla still seems barely to be showing and none of the rest of the plot seems to have advanced. I tried tightening my beanie, but I tightened it so much it fell apart.
Thanks Jean. Spanish lesson especially appreciated.
Here's hoping Raina does have an ugly girl baby!
Golly I'm so tired of Nati's story. Is it going to be with us until the end? Lois

Great job, Jean! I especially liked your line about how "Karla is diverging from the sugar daddy religion of Hilda."
Juanita, I think the intention is to show both bellies at the same stage. Maybe Rania is 'carrying high' because of the ugly-as-a-toad girl she's got in there. (When she's born, everyone will say: Oh, she has her uncle Mohamed's eyes!) And it figures that such a gynecologically-oriented novela would tell time by belly.
Although this was a so-so episode, there were still some details I enjoyed:
I loved Zumaya's silent attempt to warn the Naz and Samira that Mohamed is listening to the Naz's 'feminist' rant. Her eyes say it all but nobody's paying attention.
I also liked the Rania giving treats to little boys scene: the adults keep their kids far away, the girls laugh and think these women are nuts, and the boys who are alone -- well, as Jean says, their parents haven't done a very good job of teaching them not to accept food from strangers.
I sure hope Andrea doesn't get involved with the promiscuous and not very bright Pablo, especially since if Malicia sees them together, Andrea will be another target for her crazy venom. I'd like to see Andrea break out of this losers' circle -- go to college in Colorado or New Mexico or maybe California and make some new friends.
And while I'm making a wish list --
-- It would be nice if Jade had a chance to go to school in Morocco and finish growing up instead living out her life as a pious housemaid.
-- And if poor Alej gets out of scary drug place alive, it would be nice if he had the sense to call the police and then walk far, far, away from Natalia.

Jean great recap and thank you so much.
NovelaMaven little Zumaya is so adorable with her chipmunk cheeks and expressive eyes. I was LOL from that scene.We must be on the same wave length about Andrea getting involved with dumb Pablo.Alejandro finally walking away from Nati.
Lois i hit the mute button now every time Enrique comes on with his PSA message.
I guess from tonight's previews that if Rania does have a boy that Jadiya will feel left out and neglected by Said?
The Chump last night proved why he is and will always be a Chump by buying Malicia's latest lie. UGH!

Yes, Blusamurai, Zumaya is adorable! And Pablo is definitely not the brightest bulb on the tree:)
Actually, poor Jadiya is screwed, whatever Rania has. It's just that if she has a girl, Jadiya will taunt her and provoke even more conflict. And if it's a boy, RanAmina will do the gloating. Either way, Jade's daughter will be miserable.
But who knows, from the size of her belly, maybe Rania is having twins?
I guess we'll find out in a few hours.

Thanks all. As NovelaMaven noted, it wasn't the most interesting episode.
Pregnancies are the stock in trade of novelas but those 6 months from starting to show to birth are always a problem. Sometimes you get a letter written to someone (Dona Barbara) or entries in a diary (La Traicion)filling us in on what happened during the time but here we got nothing and it appears that everything is status quo.
I thought Karla didn't look that far along either but since Rania is going to deliver tonight, maybe Karla's will be born tomorrow.
I kind of liked Pablo, at least until he fell for Malicia. Andrea is one of the few likeable characters in the novela. It would be nice if she ended up with someone.

Excellent recap, Jean. Especially liked "double teamed the Chump".
I couldn't believe he fell for Malicia's act again. When he clutched her around the waist her eyes were rolling vigorously.
I'm sick of Leo. He hasn't learned one thing the whole novela. He spoiled Diego because Diego reminded him of himself. The result was Diego going against his orders and flying the chopper alone (and in a thunderstorm). He refused to accept Lucas' artistic personality nor his love for Jade, constantly bullying him into making things right with Marisa. Lucas is not happy working at Empresa Ferrer, but has burned his bridges and is stuck there.
The right thing to do would be to leave Daniel in his own environment, with his mother and grandmother, but offer financial help for education and travel. But no, our egomaniac has to have the kid living with him.
I was expecting Alej to go into "vale todo" mode and kick those guy's patooties.
It looks like our boy Daniel could be involved with Karla and Marisa, if he put his mind to it.

Great recap, Jean.
Can someone tell me how they got Roberto's sperm into Karla. Was it clarified or did I miss something. This issue confuses me as to how they accomplished it.
As for Escobar, once a chump always a chump.
And I'm weary of Nati's dilemma and Alej always coming to her defense.
I know Jadiyah is a child but she has his mean streak in her. That poor baby.

Ann- It was never explained in too much detail but basically, Hilda's cousin or something, who worked in Lucia's house 'collected' genetic material presumably from the bedsheets or a used condom or something. Karla then introduced it into herself by some means mercifully unexplained (turkey baster?)
Since Karla and Hilda are sort of the comic relief in this novela, I, for one, don't believe that they could have suceeded in getting Karla pregnant in this way and the child will be shown to be either: Daniel's or will be obviously not Roberto's ( a 'chocolatito, for example).
We shall see.

Thanks Jean, great commentary and pictures as usual. I hadn't heard "do a bunk" before, but I'll have to start using it.
O, time travel. Time flies when someone in the world is pregnant. (Nice one NovelaMaven about "telling time by belly".) The 6 month jump is OK for storylines where there is a status quo, but it's awkward where things are apt to change at any moment: Leo's pursuit of Daniel, Alejo's career and slowly going crazy due to Nati, the Malicia storyline, etc. The only one of those we saw after the jump was the second one, and it looked like Nati managed to get partial control of her life, but not quite break her habit. Plausible, I guess, but it's strange to spend so long with a storyline going nowhere then skip over an eventful period. Maybe we were supposed to assume her confession to Andrea would lead to improvement.
Novelera: I totally agree about Leo. What a jerk he is. I hate him more than Rosa, because Rosa is delusional and not particularly powerful, while Leo understands what he's doing and has the power to do it, and simply doesn't care if anyone gets hurt.
The scene with Rania giving away food made me think of how well this (apparently) goes over in Morocco. Although she had some success, the first people she met didn't accept the gift. It's a weird culture-clash, and I sympathize with her dealing with a lack of trust from her neighbors (although I doubt they know the princess personally). Imagine how much worse it would have been if it had been men trying to hand out food. Someone would have called the police. In this respect Fez has a closer and more pleasant community, and I doubt we are any safer.
OK, next episode, maybe Alejandro will show those drug dealers why they call him the snake! Or at least he can show them what he does for a living.

O, time travel. Time flies when someone in the world is pregnant. (Nice one NovelaMaven about "telling time by belly".) The 6 month jump is OK for storylines where there is a status quo, but it's awkward where things are apt to change at any moment: Leo's pursuit of Daniel, Alejo's career and slowly going crazy due to Nati, the Malicia storyline, etc. The only one of those we saw after the jump was the second one, and it looked like Nati managed to get partial control of her life, but not quite break her habit. Plausible, I guess, but it's strange to spend so long with a storyline going nowhere then skip over an eventful period. Maybe we were supposed to assume her confession to Andrea would lead to improvement.
Novelera: I totally agree about Leo. What a jerk he is. I hate him more than Rosa, because Rosa is delusional and not particularly powerful, while Leo understands what he's doing and has the power to do it, and simply doesn't care if anyone gets hurt.
The scene with Rania giving away food made me think of how well this (apparently) goes over in Morocco. Although she had some success, the first people she met didn't accept the gift. It's a weird culture-clash, and I sympathize with her dealing with a lack of trust from her neighbors (although I doubt they know the princess personally). Imagine how much worse it would have been if it had been men trying to hand out food. Someone would have called the police.
