El Clon Tuesday October 12: Summary for Discussion
Capítulo 169: In which -- Lord help us -- the Zombies have a gun; Natalia tries to rob Alej – again; Clara and Rogelio make up while Malicia prepares to trade up; and the Not So Smart Pizza Caper is in progress at Casa Ferrer.
It is, in the end, Cristina who, with a gutsy mixture of common sense, kindness and charm defuses the Zombie crisis. She goes up to them, introduces herself, asks Andrea to put on some cool music and invites the Zombies to join the party.
Enrique is sad to see the kids in that condition – it challenges his sobriety. It’s a good thing Caro is there to look out for him.
Lucia tries to comfort Marisa, who, in spite of looking devastated, minimizes Natalia’s behavior as adolescent rebellion. She’s a good girl but she has some bad friends, she says. I understand, says Lucia.
When Lucia rejoins the party, Paula gives her a hard luck story about her sick mother who can’t afford to buy her medicine. She scams her out of $300. By the time Andrea and Pablo wise her up, it’s too late. And we see Fernando and Paula gloating over the money as they are on their way out the door. “Me robaron” laments Lucia. (They robbed me).
Rogelio is trying to talk to Malicia about Zein and Jade but she is tuning him out – is she thinking about her last victim or her next one?
Leo and Cris slip away together.
Daniel and Nati are at a table talking and Lucas watches them and frowns.
The day after the wedding…
Gloria tells Alej he’s been looking sad since he broke up with Natalia. I still love her and I miss her, he says. And I still feel as if I could have done more for her. I doubt she’s thinking about you, says Gloria.
Amin and Mohamed walk by. Amin asks his father if it’s true that he’s going to have a bride. (¿Es verdad que tú vas a tener una novia?)
Diana and Pablo are at the pool talking about witchy Malicia. Andrea stops by to chat. Pablo admits he’s not sure if he likes Andrea or if he’s just using her. She’d be good for you, says Diana.
You should have seen it mom, it was a disgrace, Dora tells Estela. Daniel defends Natalia. She feels alone and she’s like me, she feels she doesn’t belong there, he says. The doorbell sounds: It’s the lawyer bringing news: Leo has presented his paternity demand and the judge has ordered Dora and Daniel to provide DNA samples.
Lucas and Marisa are at the breakfast table as Rosa looks on. ¿Y Natalia desapareció? (So Natalia’s gone?) asks Lucas. Marisa answers:
Sí, claro, ya hizo su escándalo, nos humilló delante de todo el mundo, se va a perder por unos días.
(Yes, of course, now she’s made a scene, she humilliated us in front of everyone, she’s going to get lost for a few days).
Enrique phones to tell Lucas that the judge has ordered him to provide a sample of DNA.
Back at Dora’s apartment, her lawyer explains how a DNA sample is taken. Dora is sure the test will put the lie to the whole clone business. The lawyer reminds her that if Leo prevails, Dora’s name will be removed from Daniel’s birth certificate.
At Empresas Ferrer, Enrique advises Lucas to comply with the judicial order for DNA. If he doesn’t, it will seem like he has something to hide.
Caro confirms to Clara that Rogelio and Malicia are really a couple. Clara decides she needs to hear it from Rogelio and sets off to find him.
Rogelio is with Zein at Salamandra. Zein is also determined to put his romantic house in order and he sets off to find Said and get an answer from him about Jade.
Enter Clara. You should have at least had the decency to break up with me, she says angrily. Rogelio seems genuinely puzzled. You’re the one who ended everything, he says. You were just using me to make your husband jealous! (Me utilizaste para darle celos a tu marido!) Clara tells him the truth – how Malicia broke up her marriage, stole the apartment and the car and then kicked Escobar out to be with Rogelio. And if you don’t believe me, says Clara, ask Escobar. Clara, escúchame (listen to me), begins Rogelio… They look at each other. And they kiss.
At Said’s house:
Jade and Zoraida are chatting. Said me va a aceptar de vuelta (Said is going to take me back again), predicts Jade. [Poor Jade didn’t see Said’s memory bubble of Jade’s past betrayal.] Rania shows up complaining about Jadiya’s music. Jade invites her daughter and her friend to listen to the music in her room. She and Zoraida will continue their conversation downstairs.
Lucas is in his office with Enrique. He is going to follow his father’s example, he has decided. He’ll be there for Natalia but he is going to live his life. Says Enrique:
Hay que luchar por la vida, Lucas. La vida sigue.
(You have to fight for for your life, Lucas. Life goes on.)
Yes, agrees Lucas, and life passes by so rapidly.
Outside somewhere in Miami, the Princess of the Zombies gives the house keys to the thief for hire. His gang will attack at 10pm and then they’ll all meet up to split the loot. But right now the Zombies need a fix and have no money left. They decide to rob a clothing store.
Somewhere along the way, Fernando has acquired a gun. Once inside, he waves it threateningly and all three Zombies fan out through the store. Hey, you, fool, give me your money! says Natalia to someone with his back to her. He turns and gazes at her with sadness: It’s Alejandro. She runs out of the store and he follows her. What are you doing? he asks in despair. Do you want to be a criminal for the rest of your life?
Enrique to therapist: When your head is clear, you are filled with shame and guilt and you can’t look people in the eye. But when you are using, you turn into an animal…
Alej tries to confront Natalia with the reality of what she is involved in: Does she realize she committed armed robbery and the store probably has security cameras? He tells her he can’t be with her as long as she is using drugs. I want to stop, she insists, I want to be happy with you…
At the clinic, Albieri is phoning Amalia to arrange their next meeting. When he notices Luisa is watching, he ends the call quickly. He tells her he was talking to a patient. Luisa complains to Julio and Anita that Albieri is hiding something. Julio tells her that sometimes a man wants to leave his wife but can’t figure out a way to tell her. So he leaves hints and that way she can discover the truth for herself. If you really want to make it hard for Albieri, concludes the enigmatic Julio, don’t help him so much.
Zuleica meets Latifa at the mall, as agreed. She wants to know everything about “our” husband.
Coincidentally, Zumaya and the Naz are also at the mall. The Naz gets mad when she learns that Abdul chose a novia for Mohamed and no one consulted her.
Meanwhile at Mohamed’s place, Samira is refuting Zoraida’s contention that it’s a sin not to wear a veil. Samira is pointing to a text (which we know Zoraida can’t read) and quoting:
Es conveniente que la mujer use el velo pero no es obligatorio.
(It is advisable that a woman use a veil but it is not obligatory.)
At that moment Latifa comes back from the mall and with a smile announces:
Averigué todo lo que necesitamos. (I found out everything we needed.)
And Alí, also smiling, replies:
Ahora, sí Latifa, ahora lo podremos salvar de ese compromiso.
(Now, yes Latifa, now we will be able to save him from that engagement.)
Alejandro and Natalia continue their conversation beside the water. When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror? he asks. I don’t know, I’m afraid of seeing myself, she answers.
Alej goes off to get them some cold drinks and by the time he comes back, Natalia is gone.
When Clara gets back to the office, she is feeling pretty good about her talk with Rogelio: We made a good beginning, she says. And adds: I’d just love to see Malicia tearing her hair out when she finds out Rogelio and I are back together again.
Malicia, however, has other things on her mind. She has charged a Salamandra employee, Yasmin, with investigating Leo. Find out everything, she instructs her -- personal and professional. She is planning an event in his honor, she explains.
Marisa gets home and Rosa tells her Leo called. He is on his way to Morocco. Lucas is going out but Marisa is unwilling to join him. She doesn’t want to risk meeting anyone who witnessed her humilliation last night.
That night…
The Zombies are sitting on a ledge outside. Natalia is positively radiant with her imagined revenge. Ya están llegando a tu casa (They must be arriving at your house about now.) the others tell her.
A beat-up yellow pizza delivery car drives up to Casa Ferrer and a fat guy in a rumpled white shirt gets out. He holds out a “Smart Pizza” box. It’s for Señora Rosa, he tells the dubious guard. Then Pizza Guy thief pulls a gun and says: Don’t move or I’ll shoot! A second thief holds a gun to the guard’s back and they march the poor guy inside the house while a third thief is left as outside look-out.
Once inside, they knock out the guard and leave him sprawled on the floor.
Marisa is upstairs in bed and hears noises below. She pulls on a robe and starts downstairs to investigate. As she goes she calls out: Natalia, eres tú? Rosa? (Curiously, Marisa, in her nightclothes, is more modestly dressed than we have ever seen her.) The thieves scurry into hiding. She sees the guard on the floor. One of the thieves sneaks up behind her and says: Don’t move or I’ll kill you!
The second thief forces Rosa at gunpoint from her room. The thieves demand money. Marisa tells them there is no money in the house. Then where’s the safe? She takes them to it and they pull out a paper with the combination. Except it’s not the right combination. They don’t believe Marisa when she tells them she doesn’t have the code. You have until the count of three to tell me, begins head thief. One… The threat is interrupted by a ringing phone. Answer it, they tell her.
It’s Lucia calling to offer friendship, support, understanding, a trip to New York… and she simply won’t stop talking. Marisa finally says yes, we’ll talk about it later, and hangs up.
And at their home Lucia tells Roberto that Marisa sounded odd. And all she wanted to do was be a good friend. Some people are like that, says Roberto. They don’t like to accept help. And Marisa is very proud.
Marisa, meanwhile, is negotiating for her life. They want cash but they will take the jewelry she offers. And then once again, they want the code to the safe. I swear to you – I don’t know! On my daughter’s life, I don’t know! (hmmm…)
Lucas drives up and is ambushed by thief 3 pointing a gun at him. Hands up, he shouts. Don’t move or I’ll shoot!
It is, in the end, Cristina who, with a gutsy mixture of common sense, kindness and charm defuses the Zombie crisis. She goes up to them, introduces herself, asks Andrea to put on some cool music and invites the Zombies to join the party.

Wow! Thank your NovelaMaven for the excellant recap. AirNovela is the way to travel. 22 hours from Budapest to Buffalo. Little internet the past 10 days. I have had a brief read of some recaps but some have vanished. How many episodes are left? Thank you again for the recaps and comments. Barb

Thanks so much NovelaMaven. I missed the show tonight because on the west coast it was preempted by the Chilean mine rescue. It looks like I missed a doozy! If I have time I'll watch it online and comment more tomorrow.
Welcome back, Barb! So glad you arrived home safely!
I think if you refresh the bookmark page, you should be able to retrieve all the recaps. There's no reason any should have disappeared, but they are sometimes weirdly shy and have to be coaxed to come out and play.
There are supposed to be 183 episodes in all and this was 169. I guess it will go through the month with 14 more episodes, with perhaps a double header on the last day.

Super recap, NovelaMaven! I TiVo's the episode and missed the last couple of minutes. I guess Telemundo had everything delayed for a few minutes for special coverage of the Chilean miners.
Kind of frustrating episode - so much of the same old, same old but some new stuff, too. Maybe Clara and Rogelio have patched things up but we know how Malicia can turn the brains of intelligent men to mush.
The zombie druggie teens just go on and on. At least Alej didn't relent and take Nati back.
I was wondering where Lucas was during the house robbery. I didn't see him come back home. Nati's assurance to the robbers that everyone would be in bed and asleep at 10pm was a tad optimistic or maybe she wanted the robbers to confront her parents.
Someone over on TW said that this would be episode 170 because there was a 2 hour episode months ago that should have been counted as two episodes. Whatever, we're almost there.

Jean,
"Someone over on TW said that this would be episode 170 because there was a 2 hour episode months ago that should have been counted as two episodes. Whatever, we're almost there."
I wasn't going to address the whole numbering kerfuffle, but since you bring it up:
Contrary to rumor, I don't determine the episode numbers on my ouija board:) I am following Telemundo's own lead. About a day after the episode is aired, Telemundo posts it on their own site, number and title included at:
http://tinyurl.com/yeyj2ox
For example, at this moment you can look at Monday's show, their #168, entitled "Máscaras Caídas". I expect they'll post Tuesday's episode in a few hours. And I'm guessing it will be labelled #169.
But hey, what does Telemundo know?
(Actually, it's kind of fun to see the episode names. Also, for the first time I recently watched their video summary of the week and they do a nice job of it -- although unfortunately, it came with English captions which I found very distracting.)

NovelaMaven, thank once again. This was a very sad episode. I see the Terrible Three ending their days in jail if they don't die first from an OD.
I wonder what the fatal attraction Malicia has to men or does she just choose weak men? I hope that Clara will be her downfall. At least Rogelio is coming back into the shade, he has not made it all the way back to the light.

NovelaMaven thanks once again for another great recap.
Leo should thank God he has Cris in his life.
All i can say about Clara why didn't she have that talk with Rogelio sooner and no way would i have taken him back that easily.
I agree the three drugged up zombies are out of control now, armed robbery in the broad daylight? I don't even believe telenovela suspended logic can get Nati out of not serving some serious time.What the heck she sent those guys to rob her family's house knowing that maybe they would be asleep at the time and no one would get hurt?
So Malicia is going to try to get Leo? I have to ask why isn't she trying to go after Zein he just as rich also and young and good looking.
I don't know what to think about Luisa being Albieri's downfall we've been teased a lot about who will bring down each villain.

NovelaMaven, my comment about the # of episodes was inartfully phrased. What I meant to say was that the two-hour episode way back when was counted as one by Telemundo and therefore the 182nd episode on Friday will really be the 183rd one-hour episode. Or I could be compeletely wrong. But if all the miners aren't rescued by 8pm, it probably won't be on at all tonight. Telemundo is broadcasting the rescue live (which is a much more important story than a novela.)
As usual, another fine, fine recap. These are especially great this week because I won't be able to watch tapes until the weekend. Of course, under those circumstances, I cheat a litle, or a lot, with FF, FF and more FF. Still, because of the Clone recappers, the story remains intact.
I can forsee FF through alot of the zombie trash. It's all been carried too far, too fast. And Enrique ain't helpin' my attitude.
Ah, glorious, beautiful (especially in red), basically really good person Cristina. Leo is so lucky. Suppose Malicia thinks because she's already duped Cris, she can again. Not this close to the ending, honey. Ha!
Oh, and poor, poor Alejandro. Suppose the story might be that Nati goes to rehab and all's well between the once-upon-a-time lovers. Nothing will make me believe that one. The zombies need to rehab in jail.
And I'm curiouser and curiouser about Latifa and Ali's plan to end the second wife fix Mohamad is in. Golly, among so many beautiful people in this telenovela, they really picked an ugly woman for the not-to-be second wife. Lois

Thanks, NovelaMaven. Excellent recap.
I'm kind of peeved at how the plot has insisted on Dora denying Daniel is her biological child until the bitter end. Half the people in Miami have told her her kid is a clone, but she insists that because he was in her body, she'll pass the DNA test with flying colors.
Jean, I had the same problem. My DirecTV DVR records the East Coast showing of the novela at 5:00 Pacific time, but it cut off before the end. When I tried to watch the end of it on the 8:00 West Coast showing, it was Chilean miners. It was interesting to watch. I saw them bring up the second guy, Mario Sepulveda, who was a very energetic, outgoing guy, embracing the President of Chile AND the first lady.
Now what I want to see is Rogelio firing Ratoncita. He doesn't know what she did to get Cris fired, but he does now know that she's more or less swindled Escobar and Clara.
I was hoping Alej would have been harsher with Nati. He did say he wouldn't live with her, but he should have been angry with her instead of just sad.
I hope neither Marisa nor Lucas get hurt. If anyone saw previews that disclose what happens, please don't reveal it here. I'd rather be surprised.
I was amazed at what Julio told Luisa. That was pretty cold. He basically told her that sometimes, when a man wants a divorce, he doesn't outright ask for it but hints. That seems like a strange thing for an employee to say to the boss's wife.
I don't THINK Malicia's plan is going to work on Leo, but it will be interesting to see her try.
I enjoy seeing the actress playing Latifa when she's happy and smiling. She really is a beautiful woman. So often she's been filled with anxiety.
I'm kind of peeved at how the plot has insisted on Dora denying Daniel is her biological child until the bitter end. Half the people in Miami have told her her kid is a clone, but she insists that because he was in her body, she'll pass the DNA test with flying colors.
Jean, I had the same problem. My DirecTV DVR records the East Coast showing of the novela at 5:00 Pacific time, but it cut off before the end.

I don't think we are going to have an episode tonight. I can't see Telemundo giving the last miners out less coverage than the first miners.
I'm watching the rescue live on my computer at work and I timed how long it took for the capsule to go down and then up again with a miner - 32 minutes. With 12 miners remaining at 3:51pm EDT when I am writing this, the last miner wouldn't come out until 9:51 EDT (2 miners per hour). So if Telemundo continues to have live coverage of the rescue into primetime, the miracle of the Clone will have to give way to the Milagro en la Mina!!

Novelrsa the previews for the next episode didn't really reveal what was going to happen other them showing Lucas now caught up in the robbery taking place at their home.
MrsImgallego i have great news for you in case you didn't know that William's and maite's new novela Triunfo de Amor will be starting on October 25 in Mexico i think it may be a half hour because the gradually phase out the old novela to introduce the new one that will be replacing it. So it will be replacing STUD over there. Now when it gets over here i don't know or at what time slot. I think the new Eva Luna is going to replace Hasta Dinero. Supposedly the Sylvia Navarro novela from what others have said will be replacing STUD over here. So maybe William and Maite's novela will replace LLena de Amor.
Speaking of the miners trapped coverage it preempted STUD being shown yesterday at a early hour and then it cut Alguien Te Mira for most of it's show only showing 20 minutes yesterday.

Thanks for a wonderful recap, NovelaMaven.
If looks could kill when Malicia saw Pablo kiss Andrea.
I'm wondering if she has feelings for him or that she doesn't want her cast aways to find happiness with someone else even if she doesn't want them.
I'm glad Nati did another disappearing act. It seemed to me that Alej was weakening.
I see nothing good happening to those three, but I can't see Alej pairing up with anyone else.
I guess we won't see anything tonite, but, then, the miners are more important. God grant them all a safe journey up.

Ann, as much as she's capable of it, I think Malicia does love Pablo. After she hung up with breaking up over the phone, she looked very regretful and said that her porvenir (future) came before everything. But it's true she doesn't want anyone else to have him. She was livid at seeing him with Andrea. Remember how she blew her stack before they broke up when she saw them walking on the beach together?

Hi Blusamurai - thanks for that wonderful bit of WL news. I am anxiously awaiting. Another one I'm looking forward to is 'Aurora,' cuz it's got Jorge Luis Pila. I think he's real handsome too. Loved him in Mas Sabe el Diablo and DDE.

Oh mrsImgallego great minds think alike i love Jorge Luis Pila i'm hoping it won't disappoint it looks very interesting. I don't know if you ever saw Acorralada before or not but WL and Jorge Luis Pila are in that together.

A very late agreement, in case either of you are reading: I also think Jorge Luis Pila is gorgeous, and a great actor.
