Corazon Salvaje8/12/10 Pie Cart--1. Only Two More to Go!
Jimena and Gabe are by the ocean. Jimena gets a bad feeling something is going to happen.
We get a replay of Renato picking up Aimee’s broken, lifeless body and bringing her back to the Finca. He lays her gently on the bed. He remembers the hateful things she said that led to all this. He pulls out his gun and says always it is Juan del Diablo. He heads out into the night.
Jimena and Gabe are still on the beach. Gabe says that whatever happens, happens. There’s nothing she can do. She says she knows but she feels it. He has more important things to tell her. Don Alberto would like to talk to her. Why does he want to talk to me? Just then he appears behind them. They want to apologize for being so rotten to you. Salma confessed that she was not really Angela. It was all a lie.
Speaking of the lying witch, she is back at the camp with Branko trying to weasel her way back. Branko is not inclined to let her. He says she lied to those people and it wasn’t cool.
Jimena is going on about how awful that must have been for Mariella. Gabe agrees. She wants to go to her and console her and make her feel better. Alberto says thank you and Jimena turns around. I guess she didn’t know he was there. He begs her to come back to the house to talk to Mariella. Let’s go right now.
Branko is ready to leave and leave Salma there by herself. She begs him not to go. Various gypsy folk talk Branko out of traveling at night because it is dangerous. Well, ok then. We’ll go in the morning.
Over at Fully’s he’s busy counting and sorting his money. He needs his doting wife’s help. He makes a big show of putting away the jewelry and the money and he tells her where everything is. He even gives her the combination to the big safe in the other room. Eloisa is practically giddy. In that safe everything is in her name in case something should happen to him. There is enough money to grant her her ever desire. She says all she cares about is him. He is the important thing in her life. I think he’s giving her enough rope to hang herself. She will be the richest woman in Veracruz.
Renato shows up at Juan’s. He asks Renato what he’s doing there in his house. Renato says he needs to speak privately with him. Regina, seeing the blood on Renato’s clothes wants to know what’s up. Juan suspects something is wrong and asks Regina to go into the other room. Juan gives him the hairy eyeball and asks what he wants. Renato says that Aimee confessed everything to him about Aimee and Juan. He pulls out his gun and points it at Juan. He should make him pay for being such a traitor.
Two men in the street are talking about Aimee’s graceful exit into the afterlife. Unfortunately Gabe, Jimena and Alberto walk up just in time to hear it. Alberto thinks it is such a shame that the family has to suffer another tragedy. Jimena is upset and is sure that is what she felt earlier. Gabe feels sorry for Juan and Regina.
Renato is still pointing his gun at Juan. He wanted to help him. Include him in the family. He sacrificed everything for him. And this is how you repay me by boinking my wife? Juan pushes his gun away and tells him that they were lovers on the boat to Veracruz. But then when he found out she was a MdeO they became enemies. He didn’t know she was even married until the day of their wedding. Juan says that if anyone was to blame it was Renato. He came between Juan and Aimee. They argue some more about who’s to blame and Renato points his gun at Juan’s head again. Many times I’ve wanted to come to you and ask for your forgiveness. We must go to her and confront her together. Renato puts the gun down and looks away. We see Celia standing outside the house. Renato says we can’t talk to Aimee. She can no longer speak. Juan asks what he is talking about and starts to look worried. What are you saying? Aimee is dead. Juan is shocked and repeats Aimee is dead. Regina walks out of the bedroom at that exact moment. She doesn’t believe it. She runs to Renato and begs him to tell her the truth. It can’t be true. Tell me the truth. Renato looks sick. Celia is shocked and runs off to who knows where.
Eloisa and Fed are happily getting together at the dressmaker’s house. They have a new plan. They are ecstatic. This can’t end well I wouldn’t think. She tells him that Fully gave her the combination to the big safe. Fed says this means that he trusts us. In your dreams maybe. The dressmaker meets with Servando who gives her a large bag of money and a kiss (ewww!) and tells her she will be richly rewarded if everything goes as planned.
Remigio is in his hut trying to tidy up. What happened to his hair? He gets frustrated when he breaks some dishes and can’t sweep them up himself. He says he’s good for nothing. For nothing! He turns around to find Lulu standing there. What are you doing here? I’ve brought you some food and I’d like to prepare it for you. But if it bothers you, I’ll leave. He asks her if she’s eaten yet. She says no not yet. They look at each other. I guess that means he wants her to stay.
Regina is still freaking out over the death of her sister. Renato says unfortunately it’s true. He conveniently leaves out the part about how he was chasing her with the Hounds of Hell on her heels so he could kill her himself. She says he’s lying. Juan tries to calm her down. I wish it was a lie but it is the truth. What happened? Why do you have all this blood? She tries to shake the big guy like a rag doll but doesn’t get far because Juan grabs her--and uh, well, Renato’s really big. She wants to see Aimee. She and Renato head for the Finca. Finally left alone, Juan says it can’t be. Aimee can’t be dead. Didn’t we just have this conversation?
Meanwhile, Celia has made it to Rod’s townhouse and given him the bad news. He doesn’t believe it. He grabs Celia and makes her repeat the story again. Because he obviously didn’t hear it the first time she shouts it in his face. What happened? What happened? Tell me. She doesn’t know. He wants to know how she heard it. She heard it from Renato. Celia runs out of the house crying. Rod goes crazy and repeats Aimee, Aimee and knocks over a table. I wonder how many times he’s turned over that table during this show? He suddenly grabs his left arm and makes a terrible face. Maybe his pie cart is coming for him sooner than we thought. He falls on the couch still clutching his left arm.
Servando is reporting back to Fully. So they plan on killing me tomorrow. Hmmm… It is about time for Fed and Eloisa to pay. Servando wants to know what the plan is. Fully wants the witch to prepare a potion that will put them in a deep sleep. What do you say? Servando says you can count on me. Vengeance is sweet and something about a cold plate.
Alberto and crew arrive back at the house and interrupt Noel and Mariella in a sweet moment. Mariella is so happy to see Jimena. They hug. Happy happy, joy joy! Alberto tells Noel he needs to talk with him. Poor Noel because you know what is coming next. Raul, Gabe and Alberto are standing around acting like somebody died--oh, wait, somebody did. Alberto tells him that he needs to be strong. Raul tells him that more than ever Renato needs him. Now he’s catching on. Gabe gets to be the one to break the bad news to him. Aimee is dead. Noel has to sit. Gabe tells him it was a terrible accident. (Accident my ass.)
Over in the jail the old sheriff and his pal are discussing Rodrigo and the new sheriff. FF>>
Noel has just told Clemencia and she collapses on the floor. FF>>
Renato is still wearing his bloody clothes and pouring himself a drink. He remembers finding the potion that Aimee had hidden in her hand and he changes his mind. Leo hears the racket and comes down wanting to know what happened to Aimee. He says they had a fight and he discovered she was trying to poison him. She ran and got away. He went looking for her and something I didn’t catch. Leo says something about the dogs. Renato says the only thing she was ever interested in was his money and his position. That’s why she married me. Rod takes that moment to make an appearance. His pie cart must have swerved. Damn! You killed my daughter. He gives Renato a good smack. Then just to make his point, he smacks him again. Rod says he’s going to pay for his crime. Leo pulls him off and says don’t you dare touch my son. It’s his fault that Aimee is dead. I’d kind of have to agree with him there. Leo says it is Aimee’s fault. They continue to argue whose fault it was. Leo says that Aimee did whatever she wanted including Juan del Diablo. Renato wakes up and says what are you talking about Mother? You knew that she was fooling around with him? Rod and Leo look away. Guilty as charged. He shakes his finger at them and continues bellowing.
It looks like Lulu made some dinner for Remi. They are having a nice time together. She tries to talk to him but he says don’t worry about it. She just wants another chance to show him how much she loves him. They start to kiss but are startled when Juan shouts for Remi outside the hut. Juan barges in and sees the situation and says oh pardon me. Lulu gathers things and walks past Remi. Will they kiss or will they not? Looks like not. What’s up Juan? Aimee is dead.
Back at the Finca Renato is still yelling. He can’t believe they knew this all along but didn’t tell him. You were so afraid of a scandal. You destroyed what could have been the best thing in my life. Leo tries to comfort him but he tells her not to touch him. Rod said everything that happened was because of you. Renato wants him to tell him straight up what he’s talking about. Leo gets in between them.
Regina has managed to get past everyone and is now in Aimee’s room. She slowly walks to the bed. And I mean s - l - o - w - l - y. She looks at her briefly but turns away. I can’t blame her there. Aimee’s probably starting to look at little awful.
Back to Rod who is still slamming Renato. FF>> Leo says it is not Renato’s fault. You know perfectly what kind of woman Aimee was. Well, that certainly helped the situation. Leo and Rod argue and Leo turns to Renato and says it wasn’t your fault. Nothing was your fault. Renato wants his mom to tell him the truth. Just once. The whole truth. Rod and Leo argue some more. FF>> again.
Back to Regina. While I like a good death crying scene as much as the next person, I have a feeling this is going to get silly. She kneels next to the bed and starts in. Why? Why? Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. So many times I tried to save you. I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t listen to me. Oh man, now she’s really crying. You have paid a high price for your whims. There are always consequences. Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me. Why God? Why, why, why? She kisses the white rose and places it on her chest? Did I just see Aimee breath? No. I guess not. While MdR’s death was as powerful as Frodo sailing off into the Gray Havens, Aimee’s death was not.
Leo is still babbling incoherently. Rod’s like, and then there was the baby. Leo laughs and says that was another one of her lies. Rod says what are you talking about. She says she suspected Aimee wasn’t pregnant when she wouldn’t let the doctor examine her. She invented the whole thing. Rod says you are lying. If you don’t believe me go talk to the doctor. Renato flops down on the couch. He looks totally broken. Maybe this will be his turnaround.
We get a replay of Renato picking up Aimee’s broken, lifeless body and bringing her back to the Finca. He lays her gently on the bed. He remembers the hateful things she said that led to all this. He pulls out his gun and says always it is Juan del Diablo. He heads out into the night.
Jimena and Gabe are still on the beach. Gabe says that whatever happens, happens. There’s nothing she can do. She says she knows but she feels it. He has more important things to tell her.

Llena de Amor #4 Thu 8/12/10 Life is like a box of chocolates.
--> -->
Emanuel and Marianela are out in the garden at Viper Villa, having a pleasant conversation until Kristel and Mauricio ooze on in and ruin everything like BP is managing them. Mauricio scoffs at the idea of Mari being related to all the pretty ladies of the household. No puede ser! He-manuel comes to her defense, bristling like a mama bear, but Mari pulls him back and says she doesn’t need anyone to defend her. “Ooooh, what an attitude on the fatty! A real fighter…well, a sumo wrestler!” mocks Mauricio. Kristel thinks this is hilarious. Marianela starts to leave, and Kristel runs over and turns on the sprinklers so that she gets drenched, then leads Mari to believe that this was Emanuel’s idea of a fun trick. Mari yells at him to go ahead and laugh; he’s just as cruel as the others! She walks away, and Emanuel goes over and chastises the gruesome twosome for their bratty behavior. “It was just a joke!” says Mauricio. POW! Emanuel punches him in the face. “Qué the heck?!” they say. “It was just a joke!” says He-manuel. He tells them to lay off Marianela or he won’t be Mr. Nice Guy anymore.
The doctor has given Gretel a sedative. Fedra hopes aloud that she will sleep for three months. Emiliano glares at her. After Fedra leaves to escort the doctor out, Emiliano holds Gretel’s hand and says she was such a happy child; what happened? Maybe Netty is right; what they lack in the house is love.
Marianela is in the kitchen, sobbing to Delicia that she doesn’t know why they are so mean to her. Delicia tells her not to take it personally; they are just bored bullies who don’t respect anyone. They are mean to everyone. For example, they found out that Delicia is terrified of toads, so for her birthday they gave her a box of toads. And Fedra is even worse. Delicia advises Mari not to let them see her cry. Mari remembers her mother telling her that she is beautiful and precious and not to let anyone ever make her feel bad about herself. She agrees that she will not give the bullies the pleasure of seeing her suffer.
Ilitia, Muñeca (her mother, aka Camila), and their chauffeur are heading out of the airport when Comisario Tejeda stops them. Ilitia naturally thinks he is a fan wanting a photo or autograph, but he says she needs to give her statement to the police. They are all ridiculously put out by this.
Oscar is driving Brandon, and they are reveling in Brandon’s heroism. Oscar can’t believe he didn’t even get that girl’s phone number. Brandon says he doesn’t like girls like that; they’re only good for hanging clothes on.
Benigno catches Emanuel on his way out of the house. Em says he’s worried about his sister and his cousin. He doesn’t want Mari to think no one cares about her, so he’s going to buy her a present to cheer her up. He drives away in his BMW convertible, which has the logo covered up so you totally cannot tell what sort of car it is.
Mari is in her bathrobe, yelling at Fedra for throwing out all her clothes. Fedra says they were horrible, so she’ll just have to keep wearing her school uniforms for now. Mari only has two, and one of them is soaked and the other in the laundry. After Fedra leaves, Delicia offers to try to rescue some of the clothes from the trash. Mari says no thanks; the uniforms will be fine. Mari wants the two of them to be friends. Delicia says okay, but Fedra can’t find out, and Mari has to stop crying and sharpen her claws.
Fedra lounges and Bernardo rubs her feet. Ugh. Fed whines about all the money they’ve spent on medical care for Gretel. Bernie says mental illnesses are tricky. Something must have happened to her; something they don’t know about. She changed right after Luis Felipe died; maybe that has something to do with it. Fedra thinks it’s unlikely; he wasn’t her father or anything. “Don’t forget what happened after we returned from the burial,” Bernardo says.
We see it in flashback: Crying little Gretel burned all her uncle’s clothes in the garden, and wouldn’t leave the fire until the clothes were all gone. Fedra thinks this is a coincidence. Bernardo says there’s no such thing.
At the office of Ruiz y de Teresa Publicidad, Lorenzo and another guy discuss that none of the models they looked at are right. They need a really special chubby girl. The other guy leaves and Emiliano comes in and gets the same report. Emiliano is in no mood for work meetings, though. Other guy tells him he needs a drink.
Fedra laments that her daughter is crazy, while the actual daughter of the deceased guy is perfectly sane. “For the moment,” creeps Bernardo. The phone rings. It’s Netty, wanting to talk to Marianela. Fedra uses a stupid fake voice that makes her sound even more than usual like she’s been drinking gin in a bubble bath all afternoon like her alter ego Miss Hannigan and pretends it’s the wrong number. Consuelo tells Netty to try again.
Emanuel goes to a fancy candy shop and picks out a big box of chocolates. The sales lady tells him his novia will love this gift. He freezes with a smile on his face and raises his eyebrows.
Fedra makes rude fat jokes about Mari, which fail to amuse Bernardo. Netty calls again. Fedra pretends to be an answering machine, so Netty leaves a message saying she wants to talk to her niece and she’s very worried. “HAhahaha, you stupid ridiculous wannabe actress, I laugh in your face!” cackles Fedra, but she must have already hung up because Netty doesn’t seem to have heard this.
Mauricio and Kristel are doing the only other thing they know how to do. Kristel worries that they’ll be killed if they are caught in her bed, but Mauricio finds the danger stimulating. They carry on.
Ilitia is at the police station, abusing Oscar and Brandon and accusing Brandon of kidnapping her in the airport. He says he had to shut her up because she was screeching like a bipolar hysteric. Oscar watches their exchange like it’s a ping pong match, then tries to intervene and convince Ilitia that this is routine procedure. Brandon tells her if she doesn’t cooperate, he’ll put her in jail. Ilitia says she’ll use all her influence to make sure he can never get a job.
Delicia goes into Kristel’s room with an armful of laundry and gets an eyeful of something else. The puerile pair do not see her. She quickly backs out and Fedra sees her standing there all saucer-eyed. Fedra is really perfecting her Miss Hannigan impersonation as she asks what’s going on. Del says she knows nothing so Fed threatens to yank her eyes out. Fedra knocks on the door and Kristel freaks out.
Emanuel finds Nereida in the foyer and tells her he needs her to do something for him. She smiles.
Marianela, still in her bathrobe waiting for dry clothes, tells a picture of her mother that she is not going to give up. She is going to stay in this house and make the best of it. There is a knock at the door. She opens it and sees the chocolate box sitting on the floor. The note from Emanuel says (addressed to “mi gordita hermosa,” which as we’ve discussed is not as rude in Spanish as the translation would be in English) this gift is to apologize for the bad times she’s had in this house, and he’s under her window hoping she’ll accept it. Mari remembers Delicia telling her about the gift box of toads and says she may or may not be a gordita hermosa, but she is definitely not a fool. She goes out to the balcony and yells at Emanuel and chucks the box at him, knocking him out cold. Oh no!
Fedra is still knocking on Kristel’s door. Nereida asks Delicia what’s going on. Inside, Kristel and Mauricio fight over the green sheets to cover themselves with. Kristel wins. It must be noted here that Mauricio is wearing leopard-print briefs, and only leopard-print briefs. Hey, if I have to have that visual in my head, so do you, even if you were lucky enough not to see it. Kristel makes Mauricio go out onto the balcony. He thinks that’s overexposure, but she thinks he’d be in worse shape caught nekkid in bed. Over the rail he goes.
Marianela thinks Emanuel is faking, but it becomes apparent he’s not. She remembers finding her father lying on the pavers bleeding to death in that same courtyard when she was a little girl. All he said was “the silver lily.” Mari thinks she’s killed Emanuel.
Mauricio runs around the pool in his skivvies. He goes around the corner of the house and sees Emanuel lying there with his head bleeding. He decides to save his life. No, not Emanuel’s, duh. His own.
Fedra is upstairs screeching for Bernardo when Mari comes through hollering for help. Fedra says, “I’m not interested in your problems! Get lost!” Mari leaves.
Mauricio has dragged Emanuel over to the pool, stolen his pants, and put them on. He’s busy unbuttoning the shirt when Mari comes out. Mauricio tells her she never saw him there, got it? He runs away. Mari tries to wake Emanuel.
Bernardo calmly and coolly finally responds to Fedra’s fit. He kicks in Kristel’s door with little effort. Fedra searches the room and yells come out, come out, wherever you are hiding in the altogether with Mauricio. No response. She hears the shower running.
Mauricio is still clutching his side where he hurt it jumping from the balcony. He gets to his car and realizes he doesn’t have his keys. Emiliano drives up in his Mercedes convertible that you cannot tell is a Mercedes because the logo is covered. He demands to know what Mauricio is doing in front of his house half nekkid.
Mari realizes Emanuel isn’t wearing pants, and wonders why he and Mauricio are each wearing only half an outfit. No time to think about that, though; he’s still unconscious. She thinks he’s dead and begs him for forgiveness, then decides he’s still alive, then thinks he needs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (if he hasn’t been breathing all this time, it may be too late), then worries that it’s too intimate and forbidden, then decides it’s better than letting him die, then she goes for it. He instantly wakes up with her lips on his, and they both scream. “Were you kissing me?” he asks.
Kristel comes out of the bathroom in the same pear-print robe Romina used to wear on ENDA, I think. Fedra demands to know where Mauricio is.
Marianela tells Emanuel she was just trying to revive him, the same way he saved her after she fell in the pool. “Sure, sure,” he says. Now she accuses him of faking to mock her. She starts to get up and leave, but he grabs her and pins her down while straddling her, asking why she will never listen to him. Then he notices he is bleeding.
Mauricio claims he was assaulted by four big brutish guys, right there in the driveway, and they stole his shirt! “Que barbaridad!” says Emiliano. Where are the guys? Mauricio says they escaped. “Lucky they left your pants,” says Emiliano. Mauricio says they took his wallet, keys, and footwear. Emiliano thinks it’s strange they didn’t take the car. Mauricio pants that they were about to, then they fled. Emiliano invites him into the house to borrow some clothes, but Mauricio claims that would be too much trouble, and besides, the gorillas could still be in there! Emiliano needs to go protect his family! But first, a little favor: he needs some money for a taxi. Emiliano gives it to him.
Marianela yells at Emanuel that he promised not to make fun of her, and now he has given her a chocolate box, full of toads or bugs or some strange thing! “Qué?” he asks. “What are you talking about?” He says he only wanted to apologize and welcome her to the house. He opens the box and shows her the chocolates. She’s touched.
Fedra doesn’t believe that Kristel was just showering and looks for Mauricio in the bathroom. Kristel sobs that her own mother doesn’t trust her.
Marianela apologizes to Emanuel. He feeds her a chocolate and says not everyone in the world wants to hurt her. She asks for another one, with cherries. He tells her to eat like there is no tomorrow and is happy to see her smile.
Fedra is still yelling; Kristel is still crying. Delicia gets dragged in to testify that she thought she saw Mauricio. Kristel yells that she hates her, then sobs to her mother that Mauricio stopped by but nothing happened. Delicia agrees that this is true. Fedra yells at Kristel to worry more about appearances.
Marianela has chocolate on her face. Ick. Emanuel tells her he will never let her lack chocolates. She says he isn’t a bad person after all. “What am I, then?” he asks. She says he’s her cousin who gave her chocolates, and offers him one. He lets her feed it to him. They agree that someday they will be friends. He invites her to go for a walk. “Like that?” she asks, and he suddenly realizes he hasn’t been wearing pants all this time and is embarrassed. Then he recovers and thinks this is a joke she is playing on him.
Benigno reports to the General about Mauricio being in Kristel’s room. The General says Fedra is going to kiss the floor for the way she’s treating Marianela.
The secretary, Carmen, at the publicity business escorts a new model into Lorenzo’s office. She is slim. I thought they were looking for a large lady. Lorenzo’s wife Muñeca calls and Carmen tells her Lorenzo is not in. Muñeca tells her to find Lorenzo immediately and tell him she and Ilitia are at the police station.
The “model” is apparently an old “friend” of Lorenzo. He gives her a drink and says she’s more beautiful than ever. She says he hasn’t changed at all. The sexophone plays in an unbusinesslike fashion. Their lips are millimeters away when the phone rings. Carmen gives him the message.
Marianela denies having stolen Emanuel’s pants. He doesn’t believe her and insists that she wanted revenge for the supposed box of toads and wanted him to be embarrassed when he woke up without clothes, but joke’s on her! He is not at all ashamed to be seen naked, ha ha! He takes off his shirt, too. She is not quite sure what to make of this and hides her face behind the chocolate box.
Avances: Continued striptease, pie in face, Fedra plots, Netty is going to find out what’s going on with her niece.

El Clon Thursday August 12: Summary for Discussion
Right now there are two kinds of people in this novela: Those who, knowing Lucas or Diego, have seen Daniel; and those who have not. And the first group shouldn’t even bother trying to make themselves understood by the second group.
And so it is with Leonardo and Rosa and their futile attempts to make Lucas and Marisa understand what they have just experienced:
Diego was here, insists Leo:
Era Diego... bueno, puede no haber sido Diego, Diego -- pero era Diego.
It was Diego... well, it may be that it wasn't Diego, Diego – but it was Diego.
You mean he resembled Diego? suggests Marisa helpfully. No, no, says Leo, it’s as if you boys were triplets, not twins only the third one was born twenty years later. Lucas finally loses patience. This crazy idea has gone too far. And he is upset by the absurd idea that this younger brother has the same mother as he and Diego. Leo throws up his hands:
No puedo encontrar una explicación lógica con el parecido que tiene este muchacho contigo.
I can’t find a logical explanation for why this boy is so like you.
Daniel and Karla are still in bed together and he’s trying to explain what just happened at Casa Ferrer. The strangest thing, he says, is they called me Diego…
We are at Alejandro’s fight. His number one fan, Gloria, looking very Frida Kahlo, and his friends Pablo and Diana are happily cheering him on. We see their expressions change to sadness as it becomes evident that Alej is getting pounded.
Tío Alí has arrived at Mohamed and Latifa’s apartment. He is relieved to hear that Jade is out of danger and now back home being cared for by Zoraida. But he is concerned when Latifa tells him that, because of Rania’s indiscretion, Jadiya wants nothing to do with her mother. Latifa asks Alí to intervene but he demurs, “aunque me parta el corazón.” (although it breaks my heart.). He is not inclined to do anything that might be considered sinful because something very ominous has happened; and it is surely a sign from Allah:
He visto a un hombre que ha sido hecho en un laboratorio.
I have seen a man who was created in a laboratory.
Diana, Pablo and Alej are sharing a gloomy postmortem at Gloria’s. Look, says Alej, anyone can lose a fight. (Una pelea la pierde cualquiera.) You don’t have the luxury of losing a fight, points out Pablo. Because of Natalia’s problems, you’re in danger of throwing away your chances.
Gloria comes up to Alej and adds her voice to the chorus: Natalia and her drug problem are dragging you down. It’s time to get out of this relationship.
At another table at Gloria’s there is a small commotion. The Skank is feeling unwell – dizzy and nauseated. (Now she knows how the rest of us feel when she’s in a scene.) Hilda blames Gloria’s cooking. It’s a good thing Ramón is there to tell them: Es un embarazo. (It’s a pregnancy). Hilda, Karla and Gloria are momentarily stunned. Then Karla displays her amazing white dentition, full upper and lower. She and Hilda do a happy dance. Ramón joins in until Gloria gives him a warning swat on the shoulder.
Said is at home while the Naz rubs his feet. He tells her that he doesn’t regret his past decisions because he now has Jadiya; without her, his life would have no meaning. Rania lurks shadow-like in the background. She offers to order tea for Said and the Naz but they ignore her. She runs upstairs and complains to Amina. Amina doesn’t even need to look in The Little Witch’s Guide to Manipulating Others because she knows the contents by heart. She screams: ¡Rania se siente mal! (Rania feels sick!). And on cue, Rania poses herself on the floor, the picture of a suffering mother-to-be. Said rushes to her and offers to call a doctor, but it isn’t necessary. Rania begins to feel better immediately. (Her amazing recovery is not lost on the Naz.) No importa. Rania gets what she wants: Said’s promise to take care of her.
And elsewhere in Said’s house, Zoraida tells Jadiya that she can arrange for her to see her mother, even if she herself must risk getting punished with 80 azotes to do so. Don’t do it, says Jadiya. I don’t want her near here and that’s that.
Zoraida reports back to Jade, still confined to bed, that Jadiya refuses to see her. It’s Rania's fault for telling her, says Jade. But in the end, it’s all Lucas’s fault! Well I've buried Lucas. Don't tell me anything else about him, not even if I ask.
At Casa Ferrer, however, it's quite clear that Lucas can't stop thinking about Jade. For her part, Mama Rosa is stuck on Channel Diego. Meanwhile Enrique is with Leo and Marisa telling them all about reincarnation. Mama Rosa urges him to join them, but Lucas isn’t all that interested. (Remember, he’s still in the second group).
Dora and Cristina are being let out of their jail cells. They are both still fuming. (Okay, I guess we have to add a third group to explain Dora: People who know Daniel but not Lucas or Diego.) They set off for Leonardo’s house to clarify matters once and for all.
Lucia comes home to find her maid Rosario all comfy on the living room sofa, chatting on the phone about someone who is pregnant. Who's pregnant? asks Lucia. A girl I know through my niece, answers Rosario. I never liked her. (Score one point for Rosario). Rosario leaves and Lucia phones Roberto. His cell is turned off. She makes a second call to inquire about tracking people through their cell phone usage.
Malicia and Escobar are thrilled with how the new apartment looks now that it is furnished. He asks if she brought the papers for transferring ownership. Gosh, no, she prepared them but they are sitting in her office! Darn it all! Escobarde starts talking about how important the papers are, but she deftly distracts him. He has to leave for the clinic. When he is gone, she wipes off his kiss with obvious disgust, picks up the phone and calls Pablo. He answers and then says: You sound depressed. (Anyone else see this as the moment when Malicia takes full possession of the apartment and furnishings, locking out the little mouse from her nest and her life?)
Natalia and Paula are at the club, I think, and they are stoned out of their minds. Nati, looking like death not even warmed over, asks Paula to call Alej and tell him she’s in bad shape. Then she collapses on a bench. Paula makes the call. She catches Alej in the middle of his workout but he drops everything to run to her despite his trainer's disapproval.
At Empresas Ferrer, Leo and Amalia are all business, finishing up her book project. Suddenly he puts the professional mask aside and asks her if they can stop quarreling. We’re not fighting, she says. We’re done. I’m not willing to be second to Cristina in your life. Leo starts to tell her that Cris hasn’t been a part of his life for a long while. And then with perfect timing – Hurricane Cristina comes blowing in.
Cristina is there with the proof that Leo betrayed her. Amalia wisely takes this opportunity to make her escape. Enter Dora.
Leo: ¡Yo nunca en mi vida he visto a esta mujer! (I’ve never seen this woman in my life.)
Dora: I got pregnant by artificial insemination. Even I don’t know who the father is.
These answers don’t satisfy Cris. She wants Dora to meet Lucas. That will make everything clear.
Alej has rushed to Nati’s side. He sees how bad she looks and wants to take her to the hospital. No, she says. They'd arrest me.
Cut to Enrique and his psychiatrist: He is talking about loss. Worse than material losses were the personal ones:
Los amigos se cansan, las familias se cansan, los amores se cansan.
Friends get tired/ fed up, families get tired, lovers get tired.
And Alej does look weary as he revives Natalia under the shower and then tucks her into bed.
Rosa, Lucas and Marisa continue their conversation at Casa Ferrer. Lucas (group 2) says if he turns out to have another brother, he would welcome him. Marisa (group 2) says the worst part of all this is that Leo is starting to believe in reincarnation. Rosa (group 1) is getting a little testy at their refusal to acknowledge a miracle.
Vicki decides to visit her friend Cris at her apartment. Vengo en son de paz (I come in peace. Literally, I come in sound of peace) she calls out as she walks in. Instead of Cris, she comes face to face with Daniel. Lucas??? she asks. He tells her Cristina brought him here from Morocco. Then it dawns on Vicki:
Entonces -- ¡eres Daniel, el hijo de Dora!
Then – you’re Daniel, Dora’s son!
And Vicki, bless her heart, impactada though she may be, does not faint.
The Naz and Said are chatting at his place. They are planning a party for Jadiya. She has a new look: a more grown-up hair style, an attractive, traditional dress. When she is out of earshot, the Naz remarks that Jadiya is suffering without her mother. Time will erase Jade from her memory, says Said.
We have just a brief image of Jade’s face, a tear-stained mask of tragedy.
Luisa is at home. She seems to have misplaced Albi again.
Albieri is, in fact, in Padre Andres’s church. He is ready to tell the truth. He didn’t destroy his creature (criatura). Andres is horrified. Everyone will be afraid of a human clone, predicts Andres. Everyone will be watching him for signs of his being less than human. Albieri dismisses those concerns. Every great scientific advance has been met with fear and skepticism, he says, but in time people come to understand that it is a good thing. So it will be with human cloning. No, says Andres. Remember what happened to Dr. Frankenstein: His creature rebelled against the master; he pursued him and he killed him. It’s too late to reverse what I’ve done, says Albieri. The clone I created – is Daniel!
And Vicki, back in Cris’s apartment with Daniel, says she now understands the reason for the way her friend has been acting.
The final scene tonight takes place in Leo’s office at Empresas Ferrer where he, Dora, and Cristina have a conversation that begins to get at the truth. Leo realizes that Daniel is actually Cristina and Albieri’s godson. And then, finally, Lucas joins them. Dora stares at him in disbelief. ¡Ahora niégalo! (Now try and deny it!) says Cris triumphantly (if wrongheadedly).
Credits roll.
And so it is with Leonardo and Rosa and their futile attempts to make Lucas and Marisa understand what they have just experienced:
Diego was here, insists Leo:
Era Diego... bueno, puede no haber sido Diego, Diego -- pero era Diego.
It was Diego... well, it may be that it wasn't Diego, Diego – but it was Diego.
You mean he resembled Diego? suggests Marisa helpfully. No, no, says Leo, it’s as if you boys were triplets, not twins only the third one was born twenty years later. Lucas finally loses patience.

Dinero #172- 8-12-10: Sleeping Beauty and the 70 Wedding Guests
From yesterday: Our gloomy groom Rafa is being greeted by Claudia’s cleavage and the rest of the Siglo Sales Team. He thanks them for being there for him at such an important moment. Rafa sees Marian and asks her what she’s doing there. She tells him, he will see. Next he greets Doña Arcadia who compliments Leonor on her youth, and both Leonor and Julieta on their beauty. Finally, a white stretch Hummer limo pulls up and Don Gaston announces that the bride has arrived. Everyone gathers around anxiously, but likely nowhere near as anxious as Rafa.
“Con ustedes, Vicky!” (I present to you, Vicky!) No one comes out of the limo and Don Gaston tries again. “Con ustedes, Vicky, Vicky, Vicky!” No blushing bride makes an appearance, so Don G. decides to take a look inside the limo. He finds a curiously tranquil Vicky smiling angelically back at him. Even her makeup seems toned down. She also seems to be in no hurry to leave the limo. A bemused Don G. looks around the limo and is startled to come face to lovely face with Dora the Peinadora (aka Jaime), who is sitting opposite the Stepford wife version of Vicky. Dora explains to Don G. that s/he is there to put the finishing touches on Vicky’s makeup. An enchanted Don G. kisses Dora’s hand, tickling her delicate fingers with his moustache. He then helps his niña out of the car and is quickly joined by his sons to flank their precious baby girl.
Don G. slowly walks a radiant Vicky to the altar to meet her groom. Vicky is so overcome with emotion that she has tears in her eyes. This would be a lovely moment if the groom didn’t look like he was at his own funeral. Don G. gives Rafa Vicky’s hand and asks him to please treat her well. She’s his most precious possession. Rafa promises and he and Vicky turn to face the priest. Vicky then leans toward the Padre and asks him to just skip right to the part that officially marries them. (There’s some of the old Vicky we all know!) Marian assures her friend that she will put an end to this, and Dora gets felt up by an old geezer sitting next to “her” in the pew.
The priest goes through the vows. Does Rafa swear to be faithful until death do he and Vicky part? (You could hear a pin drop in the church as everyone waits with baited breath for Rafa’s answer.) “Sí padre. Acepto.” A gasp erupts from all present. Marian looks like she just received a stab to the heart.
We need a break from this nail-biting drama, so we head to the local bar. We find Ale sashaying in to meet Susana, and receiving wolf whistles from all males present. Susana asks how her last day at Siglo went. Ale tells her about the kind words from the sales team, and about how Dandy tried to talk to her and she shut him down. “He’s the incarnation of Rafa!” Susana can’t understand how Dandy could have done something so low down, when she thought he had changed.
Ale looks at her watch, noting silently that the hour of Rafa’s boda has arrived. She announces that she needs a drink to dull the pain and takes a swig of Susana’s drink. She is disappointed to find out that it’s just juice, and calls across the bar to the waiter to bring them the hard stuff. “This is the end of my story (historia) with Rafa.” Bottoms up! She begins to drown her sorrows in martinis, remembering the good times with Rafa as the sad music plays in the background. The music pauses long enough for Ale to drain a drink, have a good burp, and collapse over the table. It then resumes to match Ale’s despondent mood.
Back at the church, another woman who is in love with Rafa, Marian, looks like she’s going to take action. She attempts to rise up before Vicky can say her I dos, but is prevented by her friend. Turns out there’s no need because before Vicky can say “Yo acepto”, she passes out! Another gasp erupts from the wedding guests. Everyone rushes to the altar to surround her. Rafa, Leonor and Don Gaston think she needs to be taken to a hospital, but the Brothers Grimm, who have another understanding of the urgency of this wedding, think she can still get married in this state. All they have to do his nod her head for her. That works right? They get overruled by the others, and off they go, ALL of them, to the hospital. Everyone except Doña Arcadia and her assistant. She thinks Jamaica will be just the thing to help her forget this stressful wedding. Her assistant laments that he didn’t bring his passport. Arcadia then has to set him straight. She is planning to head home and have a glass of jamaica (a refreshing drink made from a type of hibiscus- in Jamaica we spice it with ginger and rum), put her feet up, and hang out with her puppies.
The whole wedding party arrives at the hospital and then ALL head to the exam room carrying an apparently comatose Vicky. The doctor has to yell over the crowd and push his way through to see his patient.
Back at the bar, Ale is telling Susana that had she been able to stop Rafa’s wedding, she would have (there’s no need now Ale). Susana says she should have asked him not to get married. “I did!” (True.) “Anyway, how could I be with a man like that? How?!” Susana knows how. She urges Ale to admit the truth, that she’s in love with Rafa. Ale has no problem admitting it. “Claro que sí! Claro que sí! Claro que sí!” (Of course x 3) She collapses over the table once more.
Vicky is the only person who is not in a high state of anxiety so far in this capitulo. Don G., the brothers and Rafa plead with the doctor to tell them what’s wrong with Vicky. He gives his learned medical opinion to the gathered crowd. He believes that…she’s ASLEEP.
“QUÉ?!!!!!!!” (collective disbelief)
Felipe (little bro) wants to know why she fainted then. He is sure it’s because she is PREGNANT!
“QUÉ?!!!!!!!” Rafa tells them that it cannot be (no puede ser). Then how did it happen, her brothers want to know. “Are you calling my sister a qualquiera (slut)?”
Finally Dora jumps in to help clear up a few things, the first being her/his real identity. S/he takes off the wig. Gasp!! “Jaime, que es esto?” Julieta doesn’t give him a chance to explain. She slaps the contacts right out of his eyes. Jaime is not deterred. He explains that the reason Vicky fell asleep at the altar is because he put some sleeping potion drops into her glass of water. The crowd gets even more hostile and wants to know why he would do such a crazy thing. (I bet Marian wasn’t planning anything nearly as crazy to put a stop to the wedding.) Timid Jaime has suddenly become brave Jaime. He soldiers on telling the truth (at least what he knows to be the truth). “Vicky esta esperando un hijo mio.” (Vicky’s expecting my child.) “QUÉ?!!!!!!!” Everyone is impactado.
It’s now Jaime against the lynch mob. His worst nightmare has come true, and Rafa and the Brothers Grimm are clutching whatever part of him they can get their hands on and shoving him around. They want to know how that would be possible. Leonor looks like she’s about to faint, and Julieta is fuming in the background. Little bro starts punching Jaime repeatedly in the gut and big bro bites his earring off (luckily it’s a clip on). Vicky wakes up in the middle of this madness. Vicky, you have some ‘splainin’ to do.
At the bar, Susana is telling Ale she needs to cry it out. “Mas?!” Yes, she needs to let it out. “Mas?!” Yes, you need to unburden your heart. Ale gulps down her martini and Susana’s instead. Susana tries to cut her off and reminds her she’s getting married tomorrow. (That will only make her want to drink more Susana.) The drinking continues and soon Susana is almost as drunk as Ale. Ale claims that she’s happy she’s moving to Brazil. That way she won’t have to see or hear anything about Rafa again. “Let’s toast to the happiness (felicidad) of that canalla (swine, jerk).” Ale and Susana have gotten to the silly/giggly phase of drunkenness. When Ale’s phone rings they both struggle to tell the difference between a phone and a pocketbook, until Susana finally answers it in Autos Siglo secretary mode. Tia Rosario is on the other end and is not amused. She wants to talk to Ale. They’ve had no news of Jorge yet and she’s worried. Ale then imagines an animated Jorge, Ruby and Manrique skiing and snowboarding through the Alps. Rosario wants Ale to come home immediately. Ale lies (in a pretty poor attempt to not sound drunk) that she’s closing the most important business deal of her life. Click! Ale then turns to the bar to order another drink and envisions Rafa drinking a tequila at the bar. One thing, if nothing else, should have made her realize this was a hallucination- Rafa is wearing a marino vest (aka, a wife-beater). When her vision turns to face her, the awful truth is revealed. It’s our resident skinny drunk, who has probably never had a woman look at him this long or intently. Suddenly, Ale regains a bit of her senses. She remembers that her papa is lost somewhere between Mexico and Switzerland. Susana is fall-off-her-seat-impactada to hear this news. But she soon recovers and assures Ale that Jorge is fine. Ale then goes back to thinking about Rafa. She is sure that HER pajarito is now a married man, and off limits (prohibido) to her.
Sleeping Beauty has awakened and is in big trouble. Rafa is using her full Christian name and wants Victoria to explain this pregnancy business. Vicky puts on the innocent act. She doesn’t know what Jaime is talking about. She’s not pregnant. Jaime tells her she can stop pretending now, and even the brothers point out that they saw the test results. Don Gaston is not happy to hear his boys kept something like this from him. Vicky tells Jaime that nothing happened between them. But she did too good of a job with her deception. He announces to all that he and Vicky had an “intimate encounter.” Julieta gives him another slap, not giving him much of a chance to explain that it was before they officially became novios. But Rafa is his best friend. How could he do such a thing?
This all starts to get very painful, both physically and emotionally, for Jaime. Julieta slaps him a few more times before leaving. Leonor gives him a piece of her mind. As does Rafa, who punctuates it with some vigorous shakes. None of them wants to see or speak to him again. Poor Jaime!
Jaime explains about the fateful night- the lingerie, the champagne, the blackout, and waking up with no memory of the cositas Vicky spoke about. He also admits to helping Vicky with her plan to make Rafa marry her, and then pass Rafa off as the baby’s father. More gasps from the wedding guests at each new detail and revelation. (Hey, this is way better than a wedding. It’s a telenovela in real time!) It seems some of the guests are starting to catch on to just what really happened, but Jaime’s still in hot water. Don G. orders the doctor to do a pregnancy test. If Vicky’s not pregnant, then they will figure out what the next steps are. If she is pregnant, then Jaime and Vicky have to answer to him.
Marian approaches Rafa as they all wait for the pregnancy results. She leans on Rafa’s shoulder and he asks if she intended to stop the wedding. She admits to it. The doctor returns to announce the results. (Drum roll please………..) “La Señorita Victoria de la Parra is NOT pregnant (no esta embarazada).” (Ha! Knew it all along.)
Our Vicky does not give up easily and tries to use this news as evidence that Jaime just made the whole thing up. She’s ready for them all to head back to the church and get the show back on the road. Rafa will not be convinced. He announces to her, and to all the assembled, that there will not be a wedding. There is no gasp of disbelief this time (except from Vicky). Instead there is a relieved exclamation of “que bueno” (good) from all the guests. Vicky is now crying and babbling about just wanting her and Rafa to have the wedding they always dreamed about. She appeals to Don Gatson. But Don Gaston has caught on to the scam his daughter just tried to pull. “No señorita. Se acabó!” (It’s over!) “Do you think that after what you did, Señor Medina (notice the respectful address) would want to marry you? The wedding is over.”
Tomorrow: Claudia tells Marco about Rafa’s cancelled wedding. He’s more determined than ever to marry Ale before she finds out. Marian makes her move on a devastated Rafa.
“Con ustedes, Vicky!” (I present to you, Vicky!) No one comes out of the limo and Don Gaston tries again. “Con ustedes, Vicky, Vicky, Vicky!” No blushing bride makes an appearance, so Don G. decides to take a look inside the limo. He finds a curiously tranquil Vicky smiling angelically back at him. Even her makeup seems toned down. She also seems to be in no hurry to leave the limo. A bemused Don G. looks around the limo and is startled to come face to lovely face with Dora the Peinadora (aka Jaime), who is sitting opposite the Stepford wife version of Vicky. Dora explains to Don G. that s/he is there to put the finishing touches on Vicky’s makeup. An enchanted Don G. kisses Dora’s hand, tickling her delicate fingers with his moustache. He then helps his niña out of the car and is quickly joined by his sons to flank their precious baby girl.
Don G. slowly walks a radiant Vicky to the altar to meet her groom. Vicky is so overcome with emotion that she has tears in her eyes. This would be a lovely moment if the groom didn’t look like he was at his own funeral. Don G. gives Rafa Vicky’s hand and asks him to please treat her well. She’s his most precious possession. Rafa promises and he and Vicky turn to face the priest. Vicky then leans toward the Padre and asks him to just skip right to the part that officially marries them. (There’s some of the old Vicky we all know!) Marian assures her friend that she will put an end to this, and Dora gets felt up by an old geezer sitting next to “her” in the pew.
The priest goes through the vows. Does Rafa swear to be faithful until death do he and Vicky part? (You could hear a pin drop in the church as everyone waits with baited breath for Rafa’s answer.) “Sí padre. Acepto.” A gasp erupts from all present. Marian looks like she just received a stab to the heart.
We need a break from this nail-biting drama, so we head to the local bar. We find Ale sashaying in to meet Susana, and receiving wolf whistles from all males present. Susana asks how her last day at Siglo went. Ale tells her about the kind words from the sales team, and about how Dandy tried to talk to her and she shut him down. “He’s the incarnation of Rafa!” Susana can’t understand how Dandy could have done something so low down, when she thought he had changed.
Ale looks at her watch, noting silently that the hour of Rafa’s boda has arrived. She announces that she needs a drink to dull the pain and takes a swig of Susana’s drink. She is disappointed to find out that it’s just juice, and calls across the bar to the waiter to bring them the hard stuff. “This is the end of my story (historia) with Rafa.” Bottoms up! She begins to drown her sorrows in martinis, remembering the good times with Rafa as the sad music plays in the background. The music pauses long enough for Ale to drain a drink, have a good burp, and collapse over the table. It then resumes to match Ale’s despondent mood.
Back at the church, another woman who is in love with Rafa, Marian, looks like she’s going to take action. She attempts to rise up before Vicky can say her I dos, but is prevented by her friend. Turns out there’s no need because before Vicky can say “Yo acepto”, she passes out! Another gasp erupts from the wedding guests. Everyone rushes to the altar to surround her. Rafa, Leonor and Don Gaston think she needs to be taken to a hospital, but the Brothers Grimm, who have another understanding of the urgency of this wedding, think she can still get married in this state. All they have to do his nod her head for her. That works right? They get overruled by the others, and off they go, ALL of them, to the hospital. Everyone except Doña Arcadia and her assistant. She thinks Jamaica will be just the thing to help her forget this stressful wedding. Her assistant laments that he didn’t bring his passport. Arcadia then has to set him straight. She is planning to head home and have a glass of jamaica (a refreshing drink made from a type of hibiscus- in Jamaica we spice it with ginger and rum), put her feet up, and hang out with her puppies.
The whole wedding party arrives at the hospital and then ALL head to the exam room carrying an apparently comatose Vicky. The doctor has to yell over the crowd and push his way through to see his patient.
Back at the bar, Ale is telling Susana that had she been able to stop Rafa’s wedding, she would have (there’s no need now Ale). Susana says she should have asked him not to get married. “I did!” (True.) “Anyway, how could I be with a man like that? How?!” Susana knows how. She urges Ale to admit the truth, that she’s in love with Rafa. Ale has no problem admitting it. “Claro que sí! Claro que sí! Claro que sí!” (Of course x 3) She collapses over the table once more.
Vicky is the only person who is not in a high state of anxiety so far in this capitulo. Don G., the brothers and Rafa plead with the doctor to tell them what’s wrong with Vicky. He gives his learned medical opinion to the gathered crowd. He believes that…she’s ASLEEP.
“QUÉ?!!!!!!!” (collective disbelief)
Felipe (little bro) wants to know why she fainted then. He is sure it’s because she is PREGNANT!
“QUÉ?!!!!!!!” Rafa tells them that it cannot be (no puede ser). Then how did it happen, her brothers want to know. “Are you calling my sister a qualquiera (slut)?”
Finally Dora jumps in to help clear up a few things, the first being her/his real identity. S/he takes off the wig. Gasp!! “Jaime, que es esto?” Julieta doesn’t give him a chance to explain. She slaps the contacts right out of his eyes. Jaime is not deterred. He explains that the reason Vicky fell asleep at the altar is because he put some sleeping potion drops into her glass of water. The crowd gets even more hostile and wants to know why he would do such a crazy thing. (I bet Marian wasn’t planning anything nearly as crazy to put a stop to the wedding.) Timid Jaime has suddenly become brave Jaime. He soldiers on telling the truth (at least what he knows to be the truth). “Vicky esta esperando un hijo mio.” (Vicky’s expecting my child.) “QUÉ?!!!!!!!” Everyone is impactado.
It’s now Jaime against the lynch mob. His worst nightmare has come true, and Rafa and the Brothers Grimm are clutching whatever part of him they can get their hands on and shoving him around. They want to know how that would be possible. Leonor looks like she’s about to faint, and Julieta is fuming in the background. Little bro starts punching Jaime repeatedly in the gut and big bro bites his earring off (luckily it’s a clip on). Vicky wakes up in the middle of this madness. Vicky, you have some ‘splainin’ to do.
At the bar, Susana is telling Ale she needs to cry it out. “Mas?!” Yes, she needs to let it out. “Mas?!” Yes, you need to unburden your heart. Ale gulps down her martini and Susana’s instead. Susana tries to cut her off and reminds her she’s getting married tomorrow. (That will only make her want to drink more Susana.) The drinking continues and soon Susana is almost as drunk as Ale. Ale claims that she’s happy she’s moving to Brazil. That way she won’t have to see or hear anything about Rafa again. “Let’s toast to the happiness (felicidad) of that canalla (swine, jerk).” Ale and Susana have gotten to the silly/giggly phase of drunkenness. When Ale’s phone rings they both struggle to tell the difference between a phone and a pocketbook, until Susana finally answers it in Autos Siglo secretary mode. Tia Rosario is on the other end and is not amused. She wants to talk to Ale. They’ve had no news of Jorge yet and she’s worried. Ale then imagines an animated Jorge, Ruby and Manrique skiing and snowboarding through the Alps. Rosario wants Ale to come home immediately. Ale lies (in a pretty poor attempt to not sound drunk) that she’s closing the most important business deal of her life. Click! Ale then turns to the bar to order another drink and envisions Rafa drinking a tequila at the bar. One thing, if nothing else, should have made her realize this was a hallucination- Rafa is wearing a marino vest (aka, a wife-beater). When her vision turns to face her, the awful truth is revealed. It’s our resident skinny drunk, who has probably never had a woman look at him this long or intently. Suddenly, Ale regains a bit of her senses.

El Clon Wednesday August 11: Summary for Discussion
Thank you, Novelera, for today's fabulous summary!
Casa Ferrer
We open with Leonardo’s gobsmacked face. Cris is yammering in his ear that he no longer can deny being unfaithful to her. And Rosa is on her knees thanking God for Diego’s return and saying she told Enrique he’d appear en carne y hueso (in the flesh). Leo moves toward Daniel saying “Dios mio” Daniel looks completely baffled. Cris continues to yammer, but Leo faints dead away. Rosa approaches Daniel and touches him to see if he’s a ghost.
Albieri is in the cab with Zoraida. While she and her luggage are being helped from the taxi, Albieri has some interesting thought bubbles. “Tengo que enfrontar Leonardo, Dora, y mis colegas, pero esto es muy poco comparado con lo que hice. Hice un clon. Saqué el genio de la botella. Abrí la caja negra del misterio de la vida. La evolución de la especie deja de ser gobernado por Dios y pasa a ser gobernado por el hombre.” (I have to confront Leonardo, Dora, and my colleagues, but this is no big thing compared with what I have done. I made a clone. I pulled the genie from the bottle. I opened the mysterious black box of life. The evolution of our species no longer is ruled by God and has passed into the hands of man.”) No bolt of lightning from the sky strikes him. It seems Frankenalbi has moved past guilt and gone on to the hubris stage.
Casa Mohamed
Jadiya begs Latifa and Samira to tell her the truth, that her mama doesn’t love her. The Naz accuses her of listening behind the curtains, but she says she heard this from Rania. Latifa tries to tell her she can’t believe Rania, but The Naz is in full bull in a china shop mode and tells her that Jade was the one who left Said. Zoraida (otherwise known as “The Marines”) arrives to try to smooth the troubled waters. She holds Jadiya close.
The Only Hospital in Miami
Jade replays for Zein her broken record of how it’s all Lucas’ fault. Zein, who’s looking better and wiser in every episode, tells her she needs to look to the future instead of the past. She puts her hand in his.
Casa Alejandro y Natalia
Lucas, Marisa, Alejandro and Natalia are sitting together uncomfortably while Lucas drinks Alejandro’s café cubano. Alej tries to make small talk about Lucas having wanted to be a musician. When they get down to the plan for the younguns to move in, Natalia says “nunca”. Marisa for once seems almost human, trying to say it’s a family custom for the kids to move back occasionally. There was also a look on Marisa’s face that maybe, just maybe, she might be getting a sense of who Alejandro really is, especially when he said they didn’t need any money. After Marisa and Lucas leave, Alejandro says he has a training bout that evening and will she come? With a sweet smile, Nati says she will.
Casa Ferrer
Leo comes to, then moves across the room and embraces Daniel. Daniel looks very dubious. Rosa makes peace with Cris because she’s brought her Diego back. She takes Daniel up to show him Diego’s shrine … er … bedroom. He’s surprised to see photos of himself, although looking differently.
The Only Mall in Miami
Marisa and Lucas are walking through the mall, appearing to have the first sensible parental conversation of their marriage. Lucas says that Nati seems better than she was before. Just then Nazira, Samira, and Jadiya appear, Sam saying she wants a mini-skirt. Of course The Naz sees our born-again parents just at the moment Lucas puts his arm around Marisa in a companiable way.
The Hospital
Zein brings Zoraida to visit Jade. She tells Jade that Rania told Jadiya about her relationship with Lucas. Then, looking uncomfortable, she also tells her that Nazira saw Lucas and Marina in the mall very affectionate with each other. Jade has never seen a conclusion she won’t jump to, and thus tells Zoraida that Lucas has gone back to his wife.
Casa Cristina
Daniel tells Cris that at first thought the pictures were photoshopped, except that the clothing was “retro”. He also wants to know why his real dad let Albieri say HE was the father.
Casa Said
Said and Jadiya return, and it looks like our wish may be coming true as Said is yelling for Rania as soon as he’s in the door. He tells Rania never to speak to Jadiya about Jade again. And, by the way, don’t make me sorry I married you.
Said tells Jadiya to follow him, and she manages to stick out her tongue at Rania behind his back.
Hotel Room of Los Ratoncitos
The Chump arrives while the “little rat” is grooming herself. He asks her about the title to the apartment and the power of attorney. Always quick on her feet, Ratoncita says: “Ya hice el borrador pero se me quedó.” (I already did the rough draft, but I left it at the office. Notice that in Spanish it got left on me, removing the responsibility from the person who did it!) She says she’ll go get it. And then she tells him that the furniture will be delivered on Thursday. This means they can move in.
Empresa Ferrer
Roberto and Clara talk about why the apartment is still not in Fer’s name. Roberto promises to talk to The Chump about this. Clara and Roberto then gossip a bit about the appearance of Daniel. Roberto raises the anvil high over his own head by declaring that this could never happen to him. With all the contraception now available, there’s no excuse for getting someone pregnant.
A Park in Miami
The two losers, Paula and Fernando, are griping about people who tell them the truth about their drug use. Andrea and Nati are walking through this same park. Fer immediately invites Nati to a party. She tries to tell these two she’s off drugs. But they say, practically smirking, that she can come for a little while and not consume. Oh boy! We get more PSA from Enrique’s psychiatrist’s office.
Casa Albieri
Luisa and Silvia arrive. Silvia shows Luisa the photo of Daniel, which they both think is of Lucas.
The Only Club in Miami
Hurricane Cris arrives and has to be pulled off Dora by Vicki. Dora insists to a friend at the bar that she has to straighten this out, and she goes after Cris and Vicki. Cris attacks her again on the stairs, but before anything can be resolved, the cops drag the two of them off. They have amazing police in Miami. People have only to raise their voices for 10 seconds for the cops to show up and restore peace.
Casa Albieri
Luisa goes to wake up Albieri, but she cheats us out of our big scene of Silvia confronting Albieri. As usual she coddles him and tells him to go back to sleep.
Somewhere in Miami
Daniel is wandering and thinking, remembering Leo’s embrace when he is waylaid by the sKanK.
La Cárcel
Dora and Cris talk past each other in separate jail cells. Dora, of course, never manages to get to the important stuff - like artificial insemination.
The Gym
Alej’s fans mill around, some of them carrying big signs with his picture on them. Gloria looks wonderful. But, of course, Nati is not there. He frantically calls Andrea and hears about the re-appearance of Paula.
Casa Clara
Clara’s with Enrique and points to some work Fer was supposed to do for Carolina. Nothing’s been done. Clara tries to blame Fer’s behavior on Paula, but Enrique points out that it’s not the friend leading him to drugs, but the drugs leading him to friends like Paula.
Some Bed in Miami
Danny Boy is trying to use Karla as a confidante, but he should have picked someone with more than a double-digit IQ.
Casa Ferrer
Leo is badmouthing Enrique for not appearing in front of him 5 minutes after he wanted him. Lucas and Marisa arrive, and Rosa tells them Diego was here. He is reincarnated. Leo confirms this: Your brother was here.
The credits roll.
