El Clon, Wed., October 20 - Summary for Discussion
Jade pulls away from kissing Daniel and laughs. He asks why. She says that she isn't 18 anymore but he is. She says that she is sad because she can't go back in time and he can't know the person she was then. Daniel replies that he likes the person she is now. 'Lucas...' says Jade and apologizes saying that she is confused. Daniel replies that he knows that she only noticed him because he looks like Lucas. At first, he was angry about that and then he forgave her. They laugh together. 
Lucas finds Cristina prancing around with a veil. She is planning to do a dance that will knock Leo's socks off. Lucas remarks how 'tú siempre subiendo el ánimo,' you always raise our spirits. 'I know there are problems,' says Cristina, 'but no one's dead.' Lucas says that he feels like he is dead. Cristina tells him that Jade was right, he is always looking for excuses not to be happy - now it is Natalia. She tells him that he has to break out and go crazy. Lucas says that Jade wants the 20-year old Lucas, not him. She won't accept him with his problems. Cristina says that she wouldn't do that either. Accepting someone's problems is different than living apart from them because of those problems.
Jade tells Daniel that she has nowhere to go. She has given up everything. He invites her to live with him. She says that Lucas never did that for her. There were many times when she was in this same position and he just left her alone.
Daniel brings Jade to his house and introduces her to Dora. He shows her his room. She can sleep on the bed and he will sleep on the floor. Jade tells him that she is afraid of causing him problems. Daniel says that the only thing he is afraid of is not being with her. He asks her to marry him.
[Instead of the opening credits for the show, we get a promo for Aurora and the first confirmation that it will premiere on Nov. 1]
Estela doesn't think Dora should let Jade stay with them. Dora replies that Daniel is going through a lot right now with the hearing tomorrow. She will let Jade stay for a few days and then they will see about it.
Daniel asks if Jade loves him. She tells Daniel that she needs to stay away from him. She is afraid of him. She knows how this will turn out. Daniel says that she is afraid of him because she has been told that he is a clone. He claims that at the hearing tomorrow, Albieri will prove that he isn't a clone and then when she sees him, she won't be reminded of what Lucas did to her. Daniel asks Jade how she met Lucas. When she tells him, he is impactado.
Ramoncito tells Gloria that he thinks Alej and Diana are novios.
Roberto gets notice that Karla has filed a paternity suit against him. Lucía has a spasm and has to sit down. Roberto swears that he hasn't been with anyone else. He tells her that he will prove that the claim is false.
Zein can't understand why Malicia wants to honor Leo Ferrer. She makes up something about wanting to attract wealthy businessmen. Zein says that she is the publicist, she can do what she wants.
Malicia calls Leo's office and gets Clara [I guess she hasn't started her new job yet.] Malicia won't say why she is calling and Clara won't put her through. Malicia replies that it isn't a problem, she will call Leo on his cell. Clara tells Carolina that Cristina ought to be warned.
Pablo tells Alej that Diana is the woman for him. Alej replies that Diana has been very supportive and they are thinking of moving in together. When asked if he has heard from Nati, Alej says that he has heard that she is worse every day.
Everybody's getting ready to go to the big hearing. There is some to-ing and fro-ing with the upshot that Pablo sees that Nati is preggers. He tells Cristina that he didn't know Nati was pregnant and he doesn't think Alej knows. Cristina says that Nati is about 6 months along.
Marisa is visiting Lucía. Lucía says that if Roberto betrayed her, she will die. At this point, Rosario comes in. She has remembered who Karla is and that she is a distant relative of Consuelo. In a flash, Lucía figures out the scam. She is sure that Karla et al won't want a DNA test because they will be shown to be liars. She is so relieved to realize that Robert didn't betray her.
Dora and Daniel leave for the hearing.
At the courthouse, everyone turns up. Roberto tells Rosa not to talk about reincarnation. The trial starts. The judge states that the results of the DNA test show that the DNA of Lucas and Daniel are identical. Leo is called to testify and all the other witness leave the hearing room.
Pablo tells Alej that he saw Nati and that she is 6 or 7 months pregnant. Pablo thinks that it isn't his child but Alej is sure that it is. He almost runs over Diana on his way to confront Nati. Ramoncito tells Gloria about this. 'San Judas Tadeo, esto no es fácil,' Saint Judas Tadeo, this isn't easy,' says Gloria as usual.
Jade and Estela have a little conversation about Morocco and why she wears a veil. [I guess Jade had her makeup in the pockets of her very tight pants because she is perfectly made up right down to the orange eyeshadow.]
Jade may be gone but things are not happy at Said's house. Said is mooning over Jade and won't talk to Rania. Jadiya and Rania have a knockdown drag out fight. When Jadiya curses Rania's father, they come to blows.
Jade calls Latifa and tells her where she is staying. Latifa and Zoraida are about to bring some of Latifa's clothes to Jade when the Naz comes in. She asks why they don't bring Jade her own clothes. Zoraida replies that Said wouldn't like it. The Naz says that no one will stop her if she goes over to Said's house and gets the stuff. [What do you bet it's all going to fit in a little telenovela magic maleta? In real life, she'd need a U-haul van.] When Latifa expresses surprise that the Naz wants to help Jade, once again the Naz shows why she is one of the more interesting characters in this novela. She replies, '¿Y qué es lo que tú quieras? ¿Que la otra odalisca, Rania, se ponga las cosas de tu prima?' Do you want that other odalisque, Rania, to wear your cousin's stuff?
Nati is her usual rude self to the other maid, Marina. When Marina won't leave her alone, she runs outside just as Alej runs up. He says that he won't leave until she explains what is going on. She tells him that the baby isn't his. She goes back inside, locks herself in her room and threatens to jump out the window if he doesn't leave. He tells her that he will leave but it is over between them. Neither of them seem very happy about this turn of events.
Marisa has gone to see Enrique's shrink. She starts to tell him the whole story of the novela. [At least it's a change from Enrique's endless sessions about how drugs ruin your life.]
All the witnesses are hanging around in the hall of the court. Rosa doesn't understand why they just can't have people come to court when they need them. [Good question! But in this respect a novela trial is the same as a real trial - a lot of standing around waiting.] Dora tells Albieri that she never should have come to his clinic- he ruined her life. Albieri replies that Dora is and always will be Daniel's mother. Then he sees that Amalia is there and slinks away. Meanwhile, Luisa does not accept Cristina's conclusion that Albieri has ruined a lot of people's lives. She says that he is a genius who is a benefactor of humanity. Cristina's expression says it all.
Much to the consternation of Roberto and Enrique, Leo testifies that Albieri made a clone of his son Lucas and that that clone is Daniel.
Luisa finds out that Amalia spoke to Albieri the previous day. Then she overhears Amalia on the phone arranging to meet someone. At the end of the conversation, Amalia says, 'Igual un beso para ti, Albieri,' A kiss to you, too, Albieri.
The credits roll.

i am so confused. i have been watching loyally since the beginning and speak fluent spanish, but i am lost!!!! HOW can Nati be 6 months along? she just lost Alejandro's baby, they didn't hook up again afterwards either since she just disappeared into the world of drogas, and the show has only jumped ahead 2 months?? She called to say she was preggers and moved back in and all of a sudden she's 6 or 7 months along? Poor baby, too, we all know it's got to be severely damaged....And for Alejandro not to have seen her for months and she threaten to throw herself out the window, and he screams "It's OVER Natalia!" Uhhhh, yeah, it has been for some time, lunkhead.
Also, Zein was waiting for Said's response and then at the "Home trial" Said was given 2 more months and where has Zein been all this time? Not that Jade would have gone for it, but still!
How have the zombies gone on for 6, 7, 10, 12 months using to these extremes without ODing and with parents still defending, protecting and HOUSING them?
How does Malicia intend to snag Leo with so little time left in the novela?
Is it me, or are the writers in such a hurry to wrap things up that the plot has gotten supersloppy? Maybe it's me....

I stopped watching and when I can read your posts (which is the best thing about this novela), I too can't understand how the druggie can be 6 to 7 months pregnant. They really dropped the ball here. Did they rush to finish up the story? When is she and the other 2 going to get their due? What a stupid turn this novela has taken.

I feel your pain, Anonymous 8:01! I can think of three possibilities:
1. As was suggested earlier, Nati didn't really lose the baby way back when. The doctor should be sued for malpractice;
2. The episode that was preemented by the rescue of the Chilean miners. Telemundo has not made the gran final 2 hours so maybe they have just edited out some crucial stuff that would explain what is going on.
There are always logical inconsistencies in a time jump. Other's people's lives just go on hold, or
3. The plot has gotten super sloppy as we head toward the end.

Amen to the previous comments! But still, a fabulous and snarky recap with especially nice screen shots today. Thank you, Jean.
I hope the housekeeper, Marina, is getting combat pay from the Ferrers. I know I was afraid for her when Nati threatened her with yet another 'blunt object'!
As you say Jean, the lawyers seem unhappily surprised by Leo's testimony. I wonder what they expected him to say. What explanation was he supposed to offer for the fact that Daniel and Lucas are genetically identical? Reincarnación? El milagro de los ricos?

Thanks, Novela Maven.
Why do the Ferrers leave large blunt objects around their house knowing Nati's proclivities? I thought maybe Nati would try an bean Alej with that big rock or whatever it was she had.
I wondered why the judge didn't make any comment about the fact that Lucas' and Daniel's DNA were identical. But I guess he doesn't know the parties. Without knowing that Lucas is 20 years older than Daniel, identical DNA would only mean that they are twins. When Leo started babbling about clones, the judge certainly showed some interest. Incidentally, this actor also played a judge on La Traición.

Jean, thank you for another great recap - the photos were great as well. I loved the Cristina photo. I can hardly wait until she rips into Malicia. This love story should have been about Cris and Leo. Their romance has lasted 20 plus years and they are now happily married. There has not been a lot of angst for Cris, she knew what she wanted and stayed the course.
I love the Naz. She has always been my favorite character. I was delighted to see her offer to fetch Jade clothes. Her reasoning was terrific. She knows how unhappy the Wicked Stepmother has made Jadiya. I hope they find a husband for her before this over.

About the identical DNA --
I assumed the judge had birthdates for both Lucas and Daniel. But yeah, you're right. If all he had was the identical DNA, the obvious conclusion would be that Lucas and Daniel are twins.
I also thought about Natalia-proofing the house. Imagine the family using plastic knives, shoes that close with velcro... and yet I
can see the increasingly aggressive Zombie Princess trying to smother Rosa with a pillow. Hmm, maybe that's not such a good example. :)

Thank you Jean for the summary and pictures. Since I'm trying to understand with limited Spanish and terrible CC3 your detailed recap really helps. Love Jade needing a U-Haul for her clothes and make-up.
Naz's reaction to getting Jades clothes ect. was a wonderful surprise. The reaction, tonight of all the people at Said's house may make up for all the druggie scenes.
I will be sad that this program is ending because the summaries and comments are often more interesting than the show.

Jean another top notch recap and the photo you provided of how Cris looked with what delusional Luisa was saying priceless i was ROFL remembering that scene great work.
So let me get this straight the Dr. said Nati miscarried and she actually didn't? Whether she did or not shouldn't they have still taken her to hospital like i was yelling at that to get her checked up?
So were never going to see the episodes we missed or was this novela already like this?
Since this novela is about cloning and collecting someone's DNA illegally without their consent. Let's say the baby Karla has is actaully Roberto's wouldn't he still have legal grounds to sue her, her mother and her cousin for plotting like they did to collect his DNA to reproduce this child?
I'm loving the Naz more and more it's possible the writers might be sending the Naz to go to Said's house to see how awful Rania is as a step mother to Jadiya either making Said to recognize he might have to let Jadiya live with her mother or get rid of Rania once and for all.
I'm getting my popcorn ready for the Cris and Malicia showdown or should i say throw down there's no way she's going to allow that nasty devious skank to try and steal her Leo after all she's gone through to get him.

Blu- We have no idea how or when Nati got to an advanced state of pregnancy. The idea about the doctor misdiagnosing a miscarriage is just speculation. As is the suggestion that some stuff was cut. I have seen that happen in another novela though.
Somebody posted on You Tube episodes of La Traición when it was broadcast in Israel. There was one episode where many bits of scenes were cut, including an 8 minute scene that explained the name that the character played by Dánna Garcia gave her baby. Comparing it line by line was very interesting.

Jean i recall for awhile some people were complaining about how they edited some of the scenes in this novela from time to time it looked like they cut out some important bits to give more clarity to the stories going on.
As for the Nati pregnancy i have to admit it's got me stumped is the baby Alej's or some anonymous male she slept with running the streets to to get her next fix for her drug habit?I fin it kind of baffling they wrote it like this when the end is so near.

Jean, a priceless recap, and thanks for the photos. That one of Cris doing the eyeroll at Luisa's commnent does, indeed, say it all.
I'm with you, BluSam, I'm getting my popcorn ready for the Big Showdown between Alicia and Cris. My guess is that our home-town girl Cris is a match for anyone.
I don't know what happened to the episode that aired the night of the Chilean Mine Rescue, God bless them all.
We on the West Coast did not El Clon that night, but I read the recap, and the next night they played what must have played on the East Coast the night before. Oh well, guess we fill in the blanks however seems best, it can't be any more confusing than what the writers have already given us...

Yes, confusing & slopy. And I'm still enjoying, thanks in large part to Jean and NovelaMaven. What are you recapping plans for the future?
Is anyone going to tune in to Aurora? Stars the cutie policman from Donde Esta Elisa.
Meanwhile, Go Naz! Lois

Jean/NovelaMaven: I've been keeping up with the recaps and enjoying the heck out of the snark! The pix of Cris listening to Luisa's explanations was priceless! Also, the looks Amalia and Luisa exchanged at the end when she hears Amalia give a kiss back to Albieri was to die for! Can't wait for that showdown, either!
As for Nati constantly threatening to bean people with heavy objects, I think someone needs to at least threaten back with a heavier one and maybe she'd shut her pie-hole for once. Jus' sayin'..... Everyone lets her walk all over them.
As for the pregnancy, the last time she actually came to speak with Alej, they went inside and up to his room to talk. I figured then, as they'd made up for the umpteenth time, that they'd done the deed then though we never saw what happened between them. Thay might explain the baby she's having now.

Lois -- I haven't decided whether or not to recap another show. It CAN be fun writing these things but it also can feel like a bit of a chore. Besides, when you're just watching these things, you can skip over the tedious or obnoxious parts, but when you're trying to recap, you really can't.
On the other hand, Mad Men just closed out the season, the current season on Project Runway is coming to a close... so who knows? :)
