El Clon Tuesday July 27: Summary for Discussion
Tonight, Zein has found his Scheherazade on the six-month plan; Natalia isn’t fooling any of the people any of the time; and if Abdul wants to play Cupid, he’d better take some archery lessons!
In Fez, Zein is even more enchanted with Jade when he finds out she knows the Snake Dance and she offers to perform it for him:
Es un argumento irresistible…Scheherazade!
It’s an irresistible story...Scheherazade, smiles Zein.
Cris is trying to find Zein so she can pass along Lucas’s message to Jade, but the hotel reception clerk doesn’t understand her.
In Miami, Nati tells Alejandro that after her accident, she was in the hospital all night. But I checked all the hospitals, he says. Oh, not exactly a hospital, un centro médico, she clarifies. Why didn’t you call me? he asks. I’d die if anything happened to you!
Once again we cut back and forth to Enrique’s monologue on the psychiatrist’s couch: Lying becomes normal, he says. One becomes an expert in the art of deception.
Later, Andrea confronts her friend:
¡Tú no eres, así, Natalia!
You’re not like that, Natalia! she says. Natalia claims she had no choice but to lie to Alej; if he knew the truth, he’d leave her. Besides, she says, she can stop using drugs any time.
¡Qué decepción! No te reconozco!
How disappointing! I don’t recognize you, Andrea says to Nati.
Enrique: You think you can stop using, but you become a slave to drugs. You’ll do anything – rob, kill, prostitute yourself.
A big yellow taxi pulls up in front of Gloria’s. Out steps Rosa and she wants to talk to Gloria and Alej about Nati. She was so upset, she confides, when Nati came home tan descontrolada, drogada, grosera (so out of control, drugged, rude) last night. Uh oh. Now Alej knows the truth!
Cut to Leo and Amalia in their idyllic vacation spot. Amalia tries to tell Leo about Marisa’s alarming message, but he interrupts her with a kiss, then places a ring on her finger. The ring seems to cause amnesia and Amalia forgets all about the urgent message.
At la Casa Ferrer, Rosa tells Marisa that Lucas will be home tomorrow. Marisa continues blaming Alej for Nati’s problems. She has found a doctor and is thinking about putting Nati in a clinic. Too bad Leo’s not here, Nati respects him, says Rosa. She used to respect him, corrects Marisa.
And as Rosa tries once again to reach Leo by phone, it’s déjà vu all over again! Leo is in the arms of his enamorada and the phone rings unanswered.
Natalia comes back to the apartment to find a grim-looking Alejandro waiting for her.
Ya lo sé todo, Nati, Rosa me lo contó.
Now I know everything, Nati, Rosa told me.
Nati denies everything and finally locks herself in the bathroom, screaming to Alej to leave her alone.
At the gym, Pablo tells his friend that he has to make a choice: either keep chasing after Nati’s problems, or concentrate on his career. He can’t do both. He introduces Alej’s new trainer.
And in Fez, Said is on the phone with Zein demanding that Jade be returned to him. A deal’s a deal, after all. Zein gives him a story about how returning Jade so soon after the wedding would look odd, people would think the marriage was a farce and word might get back to Zein’s parents.
On Said’s end of the line, Rania is thrilled to learn there is a delay in Jade’s return. She snuggles up to Said, reassuring him that she and her fetus are there for him. Somehow that doesn’t seem to make Said happy although Rania looks like the cat that swallowed the canary.
Latifa tells Samira that the guests have arrived at Ali’s house – the prospective novios and their families. Samira doesn’t want to meet them. Latifa begs her to do it to make her father happy (complazcámoslo) – they can work on softening him up later so he changes his mind.
Nazira doesn’t want to participate either. She has her usual No Husband For Poor Nazira tantrum, but is pleasantly surprised when Abdul tells her he has found someone for her and she will meet him tomorrow.
The surprise for Samira and Amin is anything but pleasant, however.
Mi novio es un nerd, complains Samira.
Mi novia es muy gorda, complains Amin.
Ali is apart from the festivities. He tells Zoraida he doesn’t agree with what Abdul is doing, but the kids belong to Abdul’s family and he, Ali, has no right to interfere. He muses about Jade and admits that in her case he shouldn’t have been so quick to get her married off:
Me precipité. La casé muy rápido, y ahora estoy pagando las consecuencias.
I was hasty. I married her off quickly and now I'm paying the consequences.
At Empresa Ferrer in Miami, as Clara is getting ready for her date with Rogelio, she asks Enrique if he thinks Fernando has a chemical dependency. That’s for a doctor to determine, he answers judiciously.
Rogelio and Clara are seated in a restaurant when they have the extreme misfortune to see Malicia and Escobarde enter. Malicia invites herself to join them and introduces Raul as her husband (Huh?)
Estela is home with a tearful Dora and begs her to stop thinking about Daniel (¡Quítate ese muchacho de la cabeza!) when Anita shows up. You’ll never guess what I found in Albieri’s papers…
In Fez, we, along with Zein, are treated to Jade’s interpretation of the Snake Dance. It’s a little too ..um.. reptilian.. for my taste, but he seems to like it just fine. After watching her, he declares:
Se ha enamorado de ti…locamente enamorado.
I’ve fallen in love with you... crazy in love. (literally, ‘one has fallen in love’)
You shine like a diamond, he tells her. No, she says, it’s not real, it’s just un espejismo (mirage, illusion). Zein tells her not to be afraid, that he won't force himself on her; he will love her with words until she falls in love with him. Just give him time… How much time? Jade wants to know. Six months, says Zein.
Back in Miami, Anita reads aloud the letter she found among Albieri’s papers. It is addressed to Luisa and it begs her forgiveness for what he is doing and for what he has done. It sounds like a farewell letter, says Dora. So he has no intention of coming back, they conclude. And he made his plans to flee with Daniel some time ago. (But what the… what about Anita’s shock when she saw Daniel’s photo? If there was any reference to it, I missed it!)
The aforementioned Daniel is getting a bit impatient with Albieri and all the clone questions. He doesn’t understand why they can’t visit Albi’s friend yet and why Albi can’t tell him his great truth until his friend is present.
In the clinic in Miami, Julio has decided to track down Dr. Silvia. Maybe she can clear up the switched embryo mystery. And as luck would have it, she is in Miami!
Malicia is sucking up to Rogelio at the dinner table. She is so fortunate to work with someone as gifted as he is in her chosen field, public relations. Cristina is the expert, he demurs. Oh, Cristina is a lovely person but… Clara looks ill but says nothing, and then excuses herself from the table. (Rogelio has kind of a poker face. I'm not sure what his reaction to Malicia really is. If he's taken in by her, I will be very disappointed in him!)
In Fez, Zein wants an answer from Jade. Give me six months. If you don’t fall in love with me by the end of that time, you are free to go. But if you try to run away before then, I’ll send you back to Said. If you accept, we’ll leave tomorrow for Miami. I accept, says Jade. (Wait a minute -- No one says anything about Jadiya!)
Alejandro gives Natalia another chance to tell him the truth about last night, but she just keeps lying to him, and getting angrier and angrier.
Enrique’s monologue: The addict is subject to sudden changes of mood, outbursts of aggression, getting into fights for no reason…
Alej echoes Andrea’s words: No te reconozco, Nati. And Nati says: No soy una drogadicta, no la soy!
Enrique: You keep fleeing desperately from the truth; you don’t want to face it.
Lucas arrives at La Casa Ferrer. ¿Dónde está mi hija? he asks. Silently, Marisa leans into him, her head on his shoulder and a tear streams down her cheek.
Previews: Jade learns that Lucas has gone back to Miami without her. Zein tells Said that he has fallen in love with Jade.
In Fez, Zein is even more enchanted with Jade when he finds out she knows the Snake Dance and she offers to perform it for him:
Es un argumento irresistible…Scheherazade!
It’s an irresistible story...Scheherazade, smiles Zein.

Dinero July 27: Actually, nothing happens.
- Nelson's Hare Krishna band was not a hit at Susana's apartment complex. True, their repertoire is monotonous, one song. Nelson got doused (by an annoyed neighbor) and hauled off to jail by the corrupt cops - they do a cute version of the "Hare krishna" which they claim has been going on for hours, creating a scandal.
- Glum and desperate, Rafa comes home and tells his mom he's out of work as of the end of the month. She says, "I told you so," which I think is unfair considering the jam she's gotten him into, and she rubs salt in the wound. He's desperate. She says he should have stayed at CloAuto.
He says his life's been a disaster since the accident. In a burst of eloquence, Mami says the problem is really that he's tried to reach for a life outside his social station. "Don't dream," she advises, "THIS is your life - Vicki, and this house..."
He says his new life isn't a dream, but a reality and doesn't she ever dream?" "I couldn't because the man I adored and in whom I lodged all my hopes abandoned us and I had to eke out a life for us. Then you grew up and took care of things - and that's your reality!" He thanks her for her sacrifices and admits, when questioned, that he doesn't love Vicki and does love his licenciada. - Vicki's hungry brothers practically break down the door, and they drag her home after she has yammered endlessly, told Rafa he'll be living with her family and working with her dad and brothers (he has a horrible daydream imagining that), and yelled at Julieta and Leonor - they better show up for their appointment to get the matching dresses for the wedding. She ignores all their requests that costs be kept down because of the debt.
I love the name "bofe," must be related to buffoon, and also "menso," does it come from the MENSA club? - After Vicki and the boys leave, Julieta and her mom go to bed leaving Rafa and his buddy to review. Jaime has another hysterical fit insisting that Rafa forget his licenciada and immediately marry Vicki Vicki Vicki - and in fact that he should immediately start having cositas with her. He gets so shrill Rafa has to whack him with a pillow to calm him down, and he asks suspiciously: "Why do you care so much?"
Jaime is saved by Dandy's call from jail. They go off and spring him. - Ale scolds her dad some more about his sweet young friend: "That Rubi doesn't exactly look like -- a nurse..."
Dad is humble but firm: "All my life I paid attention to appearances. Now, aren't I entitled to a moment of happiness?" Ale reluctantly yields, though Rosario announces (when she arrives with Quintana) that Rubi's appearance is the worst news since the embargo. Quintana stands up for his co-conspirator Rubi.
Marco arrives with an unwanted kiss for Ale's reluctant cheek. She tells them all: the religious wedding is suspended. WHAT? Because there are no religious ceremonies if there is no church wedding. Jorge and Quintana are in favor of postponing. Marco yells NO! Rosario and Ale agree with him. Decided: to have the civil ceremony now and the religious ceremony later.
Changing the subject, Marco suggests they all go to the hacienda next day and see the damage Chavez has caused. Ale points out she has to work. They will pick her up after work. Jorge wants Rubi to come. - Ramirez kisses the redheaded woman, one of Marino's seven discarded mothers-of-sons. She wants Ramirez to spend the night, but she hasn't told Edgar Jr. about him.
Ramirez tells her Marino doesn't care, he has a new conquest ("Poor woman!" says the redhead). Maybe, they think, it's time to tell Edgar Jr - and if Edgar Sr objects, they can threaten to tell Sandra about the seven sons. - At morning meeting, Ale and Rafe exchange a little tender glance.
Marino lies in wait for Beltran and bugs him some more about getting promoted after Ale and Rafe leave. Beltran brushes him off, so Marino welches on his deal with Claudia, keeping his sales commissions. He sneers at her: "You are too much of a coward to blow the whistle on me for welching. Are you going to tell everyone YOU were the snitch?" - Susana roundly rejects Dandy even though he crawls on her desk for forgivenness. This leaves him free to do the dirty with Carmela the Ardent - and he's willing to do it, because getting the proofs locked in her archive is the only way to convince Ale and Susana that Rafa's preposterous tale is the truth.
Zetina debriefs them all and they plan, like spies, for Dandy's mission with the "man-eating monster." Pepeto says, don't be afraid: "The dog that barks doesn't bite."
Tomorrow: looks like there will be a few sweet moments between Rafa and Ale.

Lulu tells Gabe that she is disposed to do whatever it takes to win back Remi’s love. Gabe promises to help her.
Dr. Pablo tells Mariela and her mom that Mariela just had an anxiety attack. Mom is happy to hear it and presses for permission to leave and go back to Puebla. Mariela has another anxiety attack as she cries and begs not to leave town.
Gabe asks Lulu to spy on Salma for him. He and Noel suspect that she isn’t telling the truth. Lulu promises to help him. Gabe leaves. As Dr. Pablo walks through the living room, Lulu asks him how Mariela is doing. Dr. Pablo says much better. As he turns to leave, she asks about Remi. He tells her that Remi is depressed. She says she loves Remi so much. He advises her to fight for that love. He leaves. She makes a vow to do just that.
Rod visits Leo in her bedroom. She is still upset over the trial and all the catcalling, gossip and scandals against them. Rod takes off his jacket and the climb into bed together. They start to kiss.
Noel returns home and asks Celia where his wife is. She says in her room. He asks where Ren is. She says locked away in the office. Celia leaves. Noel stops himself from entering the office and goes upstairs slowly.
Rod and Leo are in the midst of making love. Noel knocks, enters and is stunned by the sight of the two in bed together. (I’m more repulsed by the sight myself. Yuck!) Noel applauds Rod and Leo for finally consummating and showing what they all have suspected for years. He asks what happens now? Leo doesn’t care - she only cares about her son’s opinion. Noel warns about the public gossiping that she is a whore. Noel is relieved and feels he is now totally and completely free of her and he will now leave the house. Leo says good, go. Noel warns them about the deceit of Aimee and what Ren’s reaction will be - that it all may very well end in a duel to the death between Ren and Juan. He leaves. Leo calls out to Noel - she’s is really upset over Noel’s warning. Rod consoles her, kisses her, then says that he should probably get back to his house in town as soon as possible.
Noel, with suitcase in hand, sees Clem in the lower lobby. He explains that he is leaving the ranch forever. She wants to leave with him. He smiles and says she is always welcome to come with him. Clem runs to get her things quickly and they can leave.
Noel visits Ren in the office. Ren sees dad with his suitcase and tells his dad he is so disillusioned and deceived by his own father. Noel explains that he had to defend Juan, it was a matter of the heart and conscious. Noel explains the wisdom fathers teach their children and thinks Ren will understand as he will soon be a father as well.
Clem is packing in her room and talking to her Virgencita doll statues. Leo yells and enters Clem’s room. Leo orders Clem to get back to work. Clem won’t work for murderers. Leo slaps her. Clem slaps her back TWICE!, then quits and warns Leo that her downfall has now began. Clem takes her suitcase and statue and leaves.
Noel tries to talk with Ren. Ren doesn’t really want to talk or listen. He tells his dad to have a nice life. Noel asks for a hug before he leaves. Ren won’t do it and only says “Go with God.”
As Noel walks back to the lobby, he plays with his sword cane, grumbles a prayer for evil to befall on Rod and Leo and takes off his wedding ring and places it on the table before he leaves.
Ren stands in his office, totally depressed and disillusioned.
Out at the town gazeblo, Jimena and Gabe are happy and in love. She is happy that Grizzy has disappeared, and that Mariela has forgiven her. She knows that Salma is an imposter and doesn’t trust her but at the same time, she doesn’t want to hurt Mariela. As they talk, the caramel apple vendor walks by, Jimena tells Gabe about her memory of her and her mom and the caramel apples.
Santo and Jacinta are in their beach shack home. He talks to her about marriage and asks her to marry him. He goes on and on talking that he doesn’t hear her says “I accept”. She says it a second time, and it takes awhile for him to register what she said. When he does, he can’t quite believe it at first that she said “yes.” They kiss!
In the coach, Noel asks Clem why the secrecy over where they are going first. Clem only tells him that he will see when they arrive.
Juan and Regi are kissing in the main room at Paradise Ranch house. Maria enters and interrupts. Regi mentions her mom, who died when she and Aimee were little. Maria mentions finding a letter written by her mom to her and her sister. Regi wants to know what it said. Maria refuses to reveal anything about the contents until Clem is present. Regi thinks the news can’t be good. Just then, they hear the voices of Clem and Noel approaching. Noel is stunned to see Maria sitting there, alive, in front of him.
Ren makes a vow to himself not to lose Regina. He takes out papers from his desk and laughs to himself.
Celia is talking with Aimee about premonitions, great powers and a pact with the devil. Celia is totally paranoid and Aimee is intrigued. Ren enters and orders Celia to leave. Celia obeys. Aimee wonders about his visit. Ren thrusts the papers on the table - she looks at them and realizes they are annulment papers. Ren has the pen ready for her to sign them.
“ULTIMAS SEMANAS!”

Dinero Mon. July 26, 2010 Jorge's In Love With R.U.B.I.!!!
Love( or lust) take your pick...... is in the air. Vicky wants Rafa. Quintana wants Rosario. Dandy yearns for Susana. Rafa wants Ale. So does Marco. And Marino is hell-bent on bedding Sandra.
But who is madly badly in love? None other than our dapper forgetful gent Jorge. He's fallen in a big way for Miss Rubi. And who can blame him? She is, to all appearances a doll.
Okay, a doll young enough to be his grandchild. A dubious doll with her canny eye on the hacienda. But she's no more venal than Chavez and Marco and might give better value for money. Who knows?
Other than this cascade of lusty love, what else happened tonight? Well, let's face it, not a lot. We're in another holding pattern.
We begin with a replay of the Queen discussing business with Beltran. Why not keep Rafa? Forget the resumé, the guy can sell. And Ale? Okay, she's a fine executive, but not well liked. If we have to sacrifice somebody for form, let it be her. They conclude the agreement with a ditsy photo of the Queen, Beltran and the two doggies. Chaton, the photographer, looks like he ate something noxious.
The only despot more feared than the Queen is our hysterical VickyVickyVicky. She's terrorizing her maid of honor in the bridal store and giving orders right and left. And finally throwing a super tantrum because her future mother-in-law and Julietta have not been in to try on dresses for the wedding. We sense storm clouds brewing.
And storm clouds a-plenty back at the apartment. Rosario is livid when she finds out the luncheon date was with Rubi. Jorge grouses that she doesn't care about his health...'cause Miss Rubi makes him feel terrific! No way will Rosario tolerate this woman under the same roof, even if the roof belongs to Marco. No sireee! She flounces off in one direction, Jorge heads off for a nap in the other. Marco is left to gloat that now he has the old man on his side and can pressure him to sell the hacienda. Gloat gloat gloat.
Back at Auto Siglo, the posse has come to the conclusion that only Rafa can deal with Carmela. But she's off on a trip. And Zetina? Well, he's still following Marco and trying to catch him being up to something (las manos en la masa) but in the meantime, guys, we've got to start selling some cars to earn our keep. Indeed. Beltran catches them outside, yells at them to get back to work and they do.
And speaking of yelling, Vicky arrives in high dudgeon shrieking at the top of her lungs. And Leonor puts her in her place. How dare you etc. For once Vicky is startled into silence. Let's just pause and enjoy that moment....because it doesn't last long. In the end, Leonor calms her down by promising to stop by the bridal store the next day. As to when Rafa will be home, she doesn't know. AND SHE HAS A LOT TO DO SO GOOD-BYE VICKY! Whew. I can only take so much Vicky per episode and I was definitely at my limit. So was Leonor. She's wondering how she can put up with her for life.
Back to Auto Siglo. Marino is trying to tattle on the sales force. Beltran isn't listening. Next he confides to his toady friend that he has great plans for conquering Sandra tonight and engendering a little girl. His buddy understands only one thing. Marino will be back late tonight....so he can have his own lady over! There are the usual threats about Marino wanting him gone, and the usual excuses of rent is high, book hasn't been published yet, these things take time, etc. More circling the drain.
Additional circling with Rafa and Susana. He tries to explain where Dandy really was and why. Susana won't listen. Additional kvetching by Ale. Her lines. His lines. Ugh.
Now a cute visual scene. The sales folks are lined up, with Rosaura leaning on Bebe's head (he fits nicely under her chin) staring at a downtrodden, almost comatose Dandy. Rosaura can't understand why he can't fix the relationship until she's reminded of how long she's been bunking at the General's while her own marriage is in peril. Well, heck, she's giving time and space to the relationship. General consensus: Dandy misses Susana a lot more than Rosaura misses her husband and kids. Busted! And Dandy and Ramiro wonder if Ale just likes to go on being the victim and blaming Rafa. You got it: more circling. Like those dreadful traffic roundabouts they're installing....I can never get off them! These folks are stuck just like I am.
We find ourselves at the apartment where the oily Quintana (something about his mustache repulses me) has come to woo Rosario. She wants to go out for coffee so she can vent about Rubi. But the case of the hacienda is mentioned before they leave. Once again we see Marco scheming after their departure. "I've got to get rid of Quintana or find a way to keep him quiet."
And now a little guy humor. Perpetual drunk is about to throw up all over the bartender. The latter sends him off the the bathroom to hurl. Lovely.
Unfazed, fellow barmates Marco and Chavez are having their usual chat about the hacienda. Chavez doesn't think Marcos can handle the situation. Yes, he can. Jorge is the head of the family and he decides, and he's got Jorge in his pocket. Oh yeah, sez Chavez. And you think Medina is just gonna stand by while you marry his girl? And let's face it, she's sweet on him, not you. Marco explodes. A cute scene but we've seen it all before.
Now on to Rosario and Quintana. The lovebirds have hit a snag. Quintana is way too appreciative of Rubi. How could he be!? This cheesy sleazy babe is just after my brother's money. Oh, oozes Quintana, eyes glowing....you mean he has some extra money socked away somewhere? No, of course not, he's bankrupt. Well, not everybody's after money, he continues. And maybe she just thinks of him like a father. Rosario's not buying it and neither are we.
So who IS falling for a line of bull? Well, not Sandra. Not at first. But by the end of the episode, Marino has her hook line and sinker. Here's how it went. They order drinks, he moves in way too fast, wanting to "formalize" the relationship and get busy making that adorable little girl child, who'll have his fabulous genes but her good looks and intelligence. Do you care for me? or are you just looking for an incubator for a baby? snaps Sandra. A lot of fast talk about the magic of their relationship and their attraction for each other. More to come but first we switch back to Ale at the office.
No magic there. She's down in the dumps. Can't work, can't stop thinking about Rafa. Wants to go out and get a drinky-poo with Susana. Susana wisely refuses and advises her to go home and talk to her father.
Back to our lustbirds. Marino's worked himself up to a fever-pitch pleading with her to give in to their magnificent passion.
Well, look whosh here, slurs a drunk, Sandra the ball-busting maneater.
M- And who are you!?
I'm the ex-husband.
Of course there's an ad.
But we're back. Big antler-bashing scene. She's a lousy wife, can't even make fried eggs, burns water, sleeps with her socks on, slurs the obnoxious drunk.
Marino attacks. Knocks the guy to the ground. A somewhat light on his feet companion shrieks, You monster, what have you done to him? Who's that? asks Marino. The guy my husband cheated on me with, hisses Sandra. But at last I've got a REAL MAN at my side. And goes into a clinch with Marino. Lots of hot kissing which would really be great if we liked these people. But we don't. So it's gross. Sorry.
And speaking of gross, yep, we're at the beauty parlor. And Vicky's there. Ovidia frets about the boys sweeping her feet, evidently this means she'll marry a widower. They chat about her possible baby and whether or not the boys can be "aunts" for the little tyke. They also chat up Vicky who wants to plan a hairdo and make-up session for the wedding. The skinny fellow assures her she's so pretty all she needs is a little lip gloss and she'll be good to go. After she leaves, they commiserate about Rafa as a "pobre sandwichito". Interesting.
Out little "sandwichito" and Dandy are glumly sitting together, dreaming about the day they can get their girlfriends back. Well, Dandy has time. But Rafa, you have your back against the wall (estás con la soga al cuello) what with your wedding at the end of the month. And has Zetina learned anything? Only that Marco had the old guy out to lunch with some babe. Doesn't sound good, muses Dandy. Maybe you should take that job with Marian Celeste and forget Ale. Rafa looks sad...and horrified at the thought. More circling the drain.
Our gloomy Ale arrives home to find an exuberant, radiant Papa, full of vim and vigor after his marvelous day. Gosh, Marco took him to eat in a great place for one thing. But for another thing, do you think I'm too old to fall in love? Well, gee, no. And with Rosario getting married, and me getting married, and I know Mother has been gone a long time....well, yes, why shouldn't you be happy! Do I know her? You do! And it's.....
Gimme an R! R!
Gimme a U! U!
Gimme a B! B!
Gimme an I! I!
QUÉ!!!!????
Let's get this unfortunate scene over with. Ale is opposed. But Jorge feels something special. Yeah, well she's young enough to be your grandchild. You'd be ridiculous being seen with her. Aren't you confusing physical attraction with love? Jorge could answer "And your point is?..." But in fact, he fixes Ale with a steely glare and asks his own question: With whom did YOU confuse attraction and love? Marco? Or Rafa? Advantage Jorge.
Now back to our lovesick Dandy. His last resort is to draft the Hare Krishna Mariachi band to his rescue. The apartment supervisor won't let him past the yellow line but no matter. He'll sing from the sidewalk. A lugubrious Hare Krishna Hare Krishna ensues.
Nothing.
So he tries an up-tempo Hare Krishna Hare Krishna.
Nada.
So he bellows "Susanita. Te amo! Perdoname!" And begs the group for a really swingin' heart-bustin' song.
More Hare Krishna Hare Krishna.
But wait. A door opens. Someone comes out on the balcony. Is it Susanita? Nope. It's a grouchy guy with an endless pail of cold water which he pours out on poor lovesick Hare Krishna Dandy. And there we end.
Previews:
Rafa frets that he's told the licenciada the truth but it didn't help. And he's still under Marco's blackmail threat.
Ale lets the family know that she and Marco can't have a church wedding. The latter is impactado and VERY UNHAPPY.
Vocabulary:
ultimos arreglos = last-minute arrangements (Vicky at the bridal store)

familia politica = in-laws
se te van los puntos finos = you're not handling the details, the fine points are getting away from you (Chavez criticizing Marco)

el escarmiento = a "lesson" (what the Queen and Beltran want to teach folks at Auto Siglo)
acatar ordenes = follow orders, obey orders
manos en la masa = usually used as in " to catch somebody getting up to something...with their hands in the cookie jar")
Dicho of the Day
Un ojo al gato y otro al garabato. lit. one eye on the cat, the other one on the scribble.
Fig. Keep your eye on the eight ball. (And that's just what Rafa needs to do if he's going to explose Marco, win Ale and end up happy. Go Rafa!)

Club Gancho... no shirt, no shoes, no problem... except for you Carlos... put that shirt back on!
¡Hola Ganchodores! my name is Jack Buengato. One of my humanoid pets, the old fat male, Carlos, has asked me to open up Club Gancho for him this week. Now ordinarily it would never occur to me to comply with requests from my livestock, but he and the cute one I call Linda did do a small favor for me recently when I got a little short of breath (I thought it was another hairball). They drove me to the emergency room where it turned out that I had a little flareup of asthma or some such thing. Anyway, the Doc at the ER said that it was a good thing they brought me, so when Carlos asked me to fill in tonight I agreed. Maybe now he'll quit saying that I owe him one. Besides, it's raining here again so my plans to do a little night prowling are shot all to hell. I had my heart set on finding a tasty young rodent to supplement the crap they put out for me each evening but it looks like I'll be waiting a few days until the weather clears. It's a good thing for them that I enjoy having them around or I would have found replacements with some hunting and gathering skills. Anyway, for some reason my bitch, Bonnie Belle seems to adore them and generally they are adequate servants... at least as humans go.Carlos wanted me to tell you that the feature drink here this week is the Redheaded Mexican... cute. I've taken the liberty to open a couple of cans of Fancy Feast and set out some bowls of Meow Mix (sorry, it's what they bring in for me), and maybe if the weather clears I can bring in a couple of rats for you to snack on. Jeff, Sandy, and Judy, as always there's iced tea (Luzianne of course) and fresh lemonade, as well as hibiscus tea this week.
Here's a couple of pictures to talk about.
Ximena and Constanza... sex kittens?
Jerónimo... I smell a rat
Dani... a really cute kitten
Estrella Falcón... actriz
Coni and Aldo... attentive stepmother
Dr. LeFort... formerly Tio Meño
Klunder Bros. Arnaldo and Rolando... brotherly love
What the heck?Now if you don't mind, I'll just get back to ignoring you. Nothing personal,
it's a cat thing.

El Clon, Mon., July 26- Summary for Discussion
One exciting episode and it's back to the same old thing with our least favorite characters.
Jade does the sword dance
and Zein watches appreciatively.
Alej comes home looking for Nati. He doesn't want to call Rosa and worry her. Pablo suggests that they check hospitals and police stations.
Marisa asks Andrea when Nati got started taking drugs. 
Andrea replies that it was 'cuando empezó todo el rollo con Alejandro,' when the whole Alejandro business started. This confirms Marisa's belief that Alej was the source of Nati's problems. Andrea clarifies that Alej wasn't involved, he is an athlete and hates drugs. Andrea says that Nati is insecure and weak and she thought she could escape reality by doing drugs.

Marisa and Rosa look back and realize how Nati's behavior changed but Marisa says that she attributed it to a teenage crisis.
After the dance, Jade drugs Zein's drink but he doesn't drink it. 
He takes both drinks and puts them on the table saying that Jade is a woman that he could love for the rest of his life and starts to kiss her. Jade moves away, takes the drinks back and insists on a toast but now she isn't sure which glass has the drug.

Jade moves away, takes the drinks back and insists on a toast but now she isn't sure which glass has the drug.Outside, Lucas tells Cristina that he can't wait any longer. He asks Cristina to explain what happened to Jade and tell her that he loves her forever.
It looks like it was Jade who got the drugged drink.
Zoraida gives Rania her cure for morning sickness - hold a spoon. She asks Zoraida how she can give Said a boy. Zoraida replies that is up to Allah. Rania says that if she has a boy, she won't fear Jade any more because she will have given Said a whole child, not half a one, i.e., a girl, like Jade did. Zoraida protests that Said adores and will always adore Jadiya. Yes, replies Rania, but he will love my son more.
Rania asks Ali the question we had: does Jade stay first wife or become second wife when she remarries Said? Ali replies that Rania would be first wife. She cannot conceal her glee.
Latifa takes Jadiya, Sumaya and Zamira to the medina. Jadiya wants lots of gold and Zamira doesn't want to wear a veil or have her husband chosen for her.
More trouble from Mohamed's children who grew up in the West. Mohamed tells Amin that his betrothed is named Nadia and she is from a very religious family. Amin does not have confidence in Tío Abdul's determination that Nadia is beautiful. He asks Mohamed if he can marry a Westerner if he doesn't like any of the women in Fez. No way, says, Mohamed.
Zein asks Jade if she slept well from the sleeping pill she took. Zein says that women never take him by surprise but he like ingenious ones that he has to figure out. He says that he won't tell anyone what happened. It will be a secret that brings them together.
Amalia takes a call from Marisa [who is now sporting a dress with VNP]
for Leo. She wants him to call her about the Nati situation. Leo refuses to listen to the message and goes out to play squash.
for Leo. She wants him to call her about the Nati situation. Leo refuses to listen to the message and goes out to play squash.Albieri tells Daniel, 'imagina que tú no hubieras sido creado por Dios, sino por un hombre,' Imagine that you weren't created by God but by another man. Like us, Daniel is fed up with the 'what if' game.
Hilda and the sKank are having their usual discussion about how much they can get out of Roberto for his love child.
Alej comes home from searching all night for Nati to find her asleep in bed. She tells him to relax and let her sleep. Poor Alej tells her that he has been searching for her all night.
Jade begs Zein not to return her to Said. He guesses that she wanted to run away and asks why. She says that she wants to live in the West and be free to choose her own life just as he does. She begs him to help her but doesn't mention that she is in love with another man. He doesn't answer and takes her into the medina.
Mohamed tells Ali that he has a bad feeling about this business with Jade. Ali replies that he leaves the future up to Allah. The Naz delivers her usual diatribe again her brothers' 'odalisques' and Jade in particular and her brothers' failure to get her a husband after all she did for them.
The prospective bride and groom for Amin and Zamira are coming over to Ali's house. Once again Zamira states that she will not have her husband chosen for her. Jadiya can't understand why Zamira doesn't want the gold that a married woman gets. Zamira cannot understand why Jadiya wouldn't be grossed out by having to have sex with someone she's never met. Zoraida counsels Zamira that as the weaker party, she shouldn't confront the stronger party but use more subtle means. Zamira doesn't believe that will work because Abdul will bring suitor after suitor until Mohamed forces her to marry one. Zoraida tells the girls that Abdul is stuck in the past and doesn't understand that things have changed. 'What is it that I don't understand? asks Abdul overhearing. 
He accuses her of spreading corruption to the girls.
He accuses her of spreading corruption to the girls.Latifa begs Mohamed to wait on betrothing the children but he won't budge. He says amazingly stupid things like, 'if they're engaged, they will think about their betrotheds in Morocco and won't fall for Westerners. If you turned that around, it would be more likely true.
Once again Albieri chickens out on bringing Daniel to meet Ali. He insists on having Ali meet his godson in some isolated place (the ruins) because when Ali meets Daniel, he will understand Albieri's sin.
It looks like our hopes that the Chump might begin to wise up about Malicia were in vain. He has already decided that it is Clara's fault that Fernando is taking drugs. Malicia skillfully supports this conclusion suggesting the Clara is capable of doing anything including getting involved with her son's friends.
Dora comes to see Osvaldo. He says that he misses her and asks for some good news. She says that she hopes he rots in jail. She says that she will regret loving him until the last day of her life. She says that Karla told her everything. The money she made doing two jobs, that he told her was for his sick mother, [I think we definitely have some cut scenes here - first we've heard that Dora was helping Osvaldo pay Karla] was going to that slut. She says that she has always forgiven him before but she is tired of waiting for a man that will put her first. He promises to treat her like a princess but she says that it is too late. Love is like a crystal - once it is broken, it can't be repaired.
Rosa comes to see Gloria.
Alej wakes Nati up and asks her to tell him why she couldn't be there on the most important night of his life. She spins a tail about studying for an exam and not being able to find anything to eat and crashing her car.
Jade asks Zein why he just looks at her mysteriously and won't say anything. 'I don't want to betray Said but I don't want to return you,' says Zein.
The credits roll.

Dinero #160, 7/23/10: The Truth Comes Out (But No One Wants To Believe It)
Buenos tardes, queredos! Sorry for the delay. Thunderstorms and technical difficulties made me put off recapping until late this afternoon. Last night had a lot of information flying and people crying so lets get to it!
Dandy lays out his ultimatum to Rafa: either he tells Ale the truth about what’s been going on or Dandy will tell Susana.
Chavez and Quintana chat about the hacienda over drinks at the bar. Chavez is upset Marco would accuse him of being a swindler (estafador). He always supported Marco in his handling of the hacienda. Chavez warns Quintana about the headless ghost haunting the hacienda and offers to help Quintana earn extra profit off the property if he lets Marco have ownership.
Rosario tries to liven up Jorge, who has taken to moping in bed again. Marco gives Jorge the news that Rubi is back. Jorge instantly forgets his languishing and cannot wait to see her.
With Dandy’s words in his mind, Rafa steels all his courage to tell Ale the truth. Ale refuses to listen to Rafa after what she overheard between him and Pepeto. “You have a novia you’re marrying, you run off to Monterrey to seduce another woman, and then you say you love me! I hate you! I pray to God you pay me what you owe and we end this relationship for good. I never want to see you again in my life. You can get married to your clueless girlfriend and I will marry the only man who has never lied to me.”
Rafa pleads with Ale to listen. “Marco is a lying disgrace! He is cheating and laughing at you behind your back!” Ale does not believe a word of it. “You’re only saying that because Marco refused to believe your lies!”
Rafa has reached the boiling point. “Do you want to know the truth?! Marco has been blackmailing me! It was his idea to try to sell my house. It was a huge trick to get my mother to believe she won a contest so she would sign the papers that he gave to you. He did it all to get back at me.”
Ale attacks Rafa for being selfish and still disbelieves him. “You should be a writer with a tall tale like that! Marco is incapable of doing something so underhanded.” Rafa is on a roll and the truth just keeps spilling out. “Marco threatened that if I told you the truth, my mother would go to jail. I will never allow my mother to spend one minute inside a prison and much less because of a parasite like Marco!”
Ale asks why Rafa is getting married to if he loves her so much. “Because Vicky’s father loaned me the money I paid to you on the condition I marry his daughter.” Ale can’t handle the ridiculous things Rafa is telling her. “You are blaming your dishonest actions on the man who has helped my family for years, dragged others into your lies, caused Susana and Dandy to split up, and prostituted yourself for money! You only agreed to marry Vicky for money!”
Ale is overcome and Rafa, upset at seeing her cry, tries to comfort her. She tells him to leave. “I’ll go. I just wanted to tell you that even if you don’t believe me and I get married to Vicky and you get married to Marco, I am going to be the most miserable man in the world. I love you and you know you love me too! It hurts that you don’t believe me but it is the truth.” Ale turns to say something but Rafa has already gone.
Jorge has spiffed up to meet with Rubi. He and Marco try to tiptoe out of the house but Rosario catches them. She’s in a snit because they left her out of the conversation earlier and now they’re sneaking out of the house without her. The guys eventually admit they are leaving to see Rubi and make a mad dash for the door.
Meanwhile at Grupo Celeste, Marian chats with her amiga Montserrat. Marian admits she offered Rafa a job because she wanted him close to her. She neglected to mention his job would be as her assistant and not a salesman. Montserrat warns Marian about becoming obsessed since Rafa has always loved another woman. Besides, Montserrat’s brother Daniel was hoping Marian would get back together with him.
Rosaura, Claudia, and Generala pester Dandy, who is in a funk about the break-up with Susana. Later, Pepeto explains Dandy’s depression to Bebé and Jimenez. Dandy cries he may have lost his Nonicita forever. Marino is still spitting fire about being brushed off by Beltran and Ramirez scolds him for being so selfish. Jimenez visits Doña Arcadia and fumbles awkwardly as usual.
When Marco and Jorge arrive at the restaurant, Rubi scoops Jorge up into a big hug. She missed him muchisimo! Jorge asks Rubi where she’s been all this time and Marco says she was living with her mother. Rubi glares at Marco but gives it up in favor of doting on “Gorgi”. Later, Marco ends up agreeing to take Rubi and Jorge to the hacienda the following night.
Susana’s meditation is interrupted by Ale, who is a sobbing mess after the fallout with Rafa. Susana says they both have to heal and move on. Ale cries that it isn’t so easy to make her heart forget the man she lives for. Susana tells Ale she has to pull herself together for her own health. Ale tells Susana all the sordid details and more tears start flowing. One of the reasons she fell in love with Rafa was because he was so honest. Ale is overwhelmed and has no idea what to do next. Susana offers a piece of advice: marrying Marco out of spite (despecho) would be the biggest mistake Ale could make.
Rafa looks to his amigos for help. Pepeto and Jimenez run off to find a private spot while Rafa lets Dandy know he told Ale the truth.
Ale gets a phone call about her upcoming wedding. She either has to change the wedding date or get married somewhere else. Ale is too distressed to think of having a church wedding and decides on a civil ceremony. Ale is going to go through with marrying Marco so she never has to see Rafa again. “Even if I don’t love him, I am sure he loves me.”
Doña Arcadia meets with Beltran. She asks him why it bothers him so much that Rafa, a fantastic employee, doesn't have the education credentials. After all, he has the experience and has already produced results. Beltran agrees to ask Rafa to stay at the Siglo. However, they still have to let Ale go. Arcadia says they have to sacrifice someone for breaking the rules.
Avances: Jorge creatively tells Ale that Rubi has returned and Vicky goes shopping for wedding dresses.

Synopsis of "Llena de amor" (Full of Love) - upcoming novela
This is a remake of Mi gorda bella (My fat beauty); Llena de Amor will have its grand Univision premier on Monday, August 9, 2010
Despite having lived almost her whole childhood without the love of a family, Marianela (Ariadne Díaz) hasn't lost her smile, nor the sweetness of her character. After the death of her father, her aunt Freda (Azela Robinson) imprisoned her in a school with the pretext that her mother was an alcoholic and couldn't take care of her.
Years later, her mother dies in a mysterious accident and Marianela goes to live with the evil Freda.
Marianela is the victim of jokes and humiliations. Only her cousin Emanual (Valentino Lanús) treats her well and defends her, and Marianela can't help falling in love with him.
In time, Emanuel begins to feel a strong attraction towards her. Simply imagining them together drives Freda crazy and she decides to poison the girl with some chocolates apparently from Emanuel. When she finds out the chocolates Emanual gave her were poisoned, Marianela feels profoundly wounded and decides to go to Spain.
Months later, Marianela returns to Mexico - but the Marianela who left for Spain isn't the same as the one who returns, full of optimism and confidence in herself, determined to descover the truth and get back what belongs to her.

El Clon, Fri., July 23- Summary for Discussion
At the reception, Zein promises Said that he will bring Jade to Ali's house the next morning.
Tío Abdul tells Ali that he admires Cristina but thinks, 'si fuera un poco más gordita que llenara la cama... seria una reina,' if she could be a little curvier to fill the bed, she would be a queen.
Alej's fan section is ready for the fight but Alej is concerned that Nati isn't there.
Nati's high and dancing at a club. A cop asks for her id and then illegally searches her purse and finds a baggie with white powder, presumably cocaine.
Clara goes to the Chump's place to tell him about Fernando's drug habit. Naturally, he says that it is her fault for going out with young guys. Clara accuses the Chump of chasing after a homewrecker and being so selfish that he doesn't care about his son.
Fer tells Andrea that Nati has been arrested.
Lucas sneaks into the wedding reception. He and Jade start making goo goo eyes and smiling idiotically at each other as usual.
The cop who dealt with Marisa's necklace theft recognizes Nati as Leonardo Ferrer's granddaughter.
Alej is concerned that he can't reach Nati. Pablo tells him that his performance in tonight's bout will determine his place in the Nationals.
Andrea tells Fernando that they have to do something to help Nati. She suggests telling Alejandro. Fer replies that if Alej finds out he was involved in this, he will kill Fer. Andrea says that it is Fernando's fault that Nati is in trouble. Fer says that Nati did it on her own. She asked him to get drugs for her.
Alej is distracted by his concern for Nati and is not doing well in the fight. Pablo tells him to buck up. This is his big chance.
Dora seeks out Karla and tells her that she is Osvaldo's wife.
In prison, Osvaldo can't believe that Dora hasn't come to see him.
Alej wins the bout.
Andrea comes to the Ferrer house but Rosa tells her that Lucas and Leo are out of town. Marisa is in town but not at home. Andrea tells her that Nati has been arrested.
The fight promoter is impressed with Alej's bout and asks to represent him. The promoter says that he will support Alej financially and get him the best diet and training. But he says he is giving Alej a chance and there can't be any alcohol, women or problems. He has to be focused.
Said tells Mohamed that he knows the smart thing would be to let Jade go but he can't 'arrancármela de la piel,' rip her out of his skin. 'Prefiero seguir infeliz a su lado...que ser feliz y no tenerla,' I would rather be unhappy at her side than be happy and not have her, says Said.
It's off to the same hotel room as all the other weddings.
Zein tells Jade that he saw her in the medina the day he arrived and her image has stayed with him. He says that he wants to pretend that he really got married and follow the ritual to the end.
Dora comes home depressed but she hasn't told Estela about Osvaldo. Anita arrives to tell them that Luisa is on her way to Morocco. She asks to see a picture of Daniel about whom she has heard so much. On seeing it, she is impactada. [Does she know Lucas?]
Marisa returns home in one her uglier broccoli rubber bands and asks what is going on.
Rosa tells Marina that Nati was arrested.
Rosa tells Marina that Nati was arrested.
At Gloria's, Alej gets a hero's welcome. Gloria tells him that, 'aunque nunca he estado de acuerdo, ni lo estaré, con las luchas, estoy muy orgullosa porque has ido detrás de sueño y lo conseguiste,' even though I don't agree with fighting and never will, I am proud of you because you followed your dream and achieved it. [Cristina and Gloria have become my two favorite characters in this novela. They started out loud and obnoxious but they have demonstrated that their hearts are in the right place.]
Marisa and Andrea go to the police station. The detective tells Marisa that Nati has been arrested for drugs. She says that it must all be a mistake.
The detective says no, they found a bag of cocaine in her purse and she had a fake id to buy alcohol. 'Además mire su estado, todavía está drogada,' But just look at her, says the cop, she is still drugged. Marisa bails Nati out, calls Lucas and tells him what happened. She says that she doesn't know what to do and that he has to come home. Lucas says that he will come.

She says that she doesn't know what to do and that he has to come home. Lucas says that he will come.
Clara tells Enrique that she feels guilty that Fernando's drug habit is her fault because of the fighting in their house over her separation from Escobar. Enrique says that Fernando probably has a chemical dependency and it isn't her fault.
Nati accuses her mother of being a hypocrite by drinking and taking sleeping pills so that she doesn't have to face Nati or her father. Marisa says that she has never been in Nati's condition but Nati isn't listening.
Enrique says that people who have a chemical dependency have to quit cold turkey and they will always be surrounded by temptation.
Naturally, Marisa blames Nati's condition on Alej. Nati just wants to leave. Marisa tells Nati to go in the house or she swears... '¿Qué me jura, bruja?' You swear what, witch?' screams Natalia and says that she is fed up with being criticized and demeaned and that Marisa is ridiculous and superficial and that Lucas left her for another woman because Marisa is unbearable. Marisa turns and walks back into the house without a word. Nati demands money or the keys to the car. When neither Rosa nor Andrea obey, she walks away from the house.
Jade comes to Zein in a negligee. [Jade looks very beautiful here without so much eye makeup.]
He tells her that he likes the rituals of his religion but doesn't want to be tied to a wife. He won't demand to have sex with her; he has rented the adjoining suite, 'pero no quiero romper el encanto de esta noche,' but I don't want to break the enchantment of this night. He wants to wash her feet and have her dance for him like she would for the man she loves. Jade agrees.

He wants to wash her feet and have her dance for him like she would for the man she loves. Jade agrees.
Zein tells Jade that he hopes the night doesn't end because he only has this night to love her.
Said can't sleep. Ali says that it is fault and something profound about leaving doors open to the wind.
Zein asks Jade to make promises of love to him even though she won't keep them because, 'la religión de amor perdona las mentiras de la mujer amada,' the religion of love forgives the lies of of a woman who is loved.
Lucas is pacing in the restaurant waiting for Jade. She is supposed to come down when Zein falls asleep. Their flight leaves at six am and they have to be in the airport at 4. He can't miss the flight. Cristina tries to reassure him that there is still time.
The credits roll.
