Leonidas says no, won't let him. Teviño tells Deusa that Leonidas is suffering as much as she, gets her to agree to talk with him. Leo goes upstairs and reads an article on cloning while they talk. Deusa asks them what they want. Teviño starts with "every mother wants the best for her child", tells her what Leo could expect as the son of Leonidas. While the two talk, Leonidas goes up to Leo's room, asks him if he would like to live in his house. He says he can't, he's going to Morocco to live in the desert. Leonidas asks if he would like him to take him to the desert. Leo says yes. Leonidas invites him to dinner in his house to discuss the trip. Deusa won't let him go without her.
Mohammed and Latifa argue about his punishment of Samira. Samira tells Latifa that her father won't choose her life for her. She is going to study, have a career, won't marry the fat boy her father selected for her.
Jade and Zoraide go to Albieri's clinic, but Zoraide won't talk with him. Jade asks him about the person who looks like Lucas, how is he possible, he seems to be a copy of Lucas. Albieri tells her he doesn't seem to be a copy of Lucas, he is a copy. He is a clone of Lucas. Jade recalls the voice of Lucas. She says "two Lucas", two equal hearts. Albieri says no, some things are the same, but much is also dependent on the way one is brought up. He tells her his name is Leo. He asks her if it wouldn't be wonderful to be born again in a different time, would the roads taken be different? In the waiting room, Cindy asks her if she has to wear the veil all the time, what would she do if she had freedom, go to the beach, dance. Zoraide tells her that Western women are sad. In the West men marry, have children, leave their wives when they get fat, grow old. Jade leaves with Zoraide who will barely look at Albieri.
Dalva takes Leo upstairs. Deusa tells Leonidas she knows he wants to take Leo and she won't let him. Dalva won't let Leo take down Diogo's picture, says to put his next to it. Maysa looks at herself in the mirror, feels much older having seen Leo again, looked at an old picture of herself with Lucas. Deusa can't believe that Leonidas wants to buy her son; he says he just wants to compensate her for her time, if Lucas is his son and Leo is a copy of Lucas then he, too, is his son. Then Leonidas threatens her with a trial.
Xande calls Telmiña, tells her that Mel has been stealing from the house, doesn't know what to do. Telmiña visits him, says he must tell Lucas. He isn't helping Mel by protecting her this way. She asks him how often he has talked seriously with Mel? Where is she now? Mel and Reginha are desperate for money; Reginha stops a car, acts crazy and steals the woman's purse. They take the money, look for other stuff to steal.
Escobar continues to excuse Alicinha's behavior to Julio, says she is acting childishly, just wants to hurt him. Julio asks if she has somebody else.
Clarisse tells Nando that Alicinha won't give back the apartment. She tells her son that men weren't created to fall in love because when they do, they become puppets. Nando tells her that everything is fine with the band. He tells her he hopes to stay clean; she tells him it is over, suggests he just listen to music, doesn't seem to understand the struggle he is going through. She invites him to Nefertiti to dance with her. At Nefertiti, Lidiane lets Nando drink, says it is ok, everything is ok in moderation. Lobato tells his psychiatrist they don't understand that moderation isn't possible for him. Lidiane tells Roger he is a good boy, a bit rebellious like all teens. Alicnha sees Lidiane and Roger kissing and is jealous. Zein watches her, asks if there is a problem.

RECAP: MON 9/30 (Chapter 184) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-01-02 10:26 PDT
Deusa orders Leo to come into the house. Tavinho tells Deusa to stay calm because Leonidas just came to talk to her. Deusa tells Tavinho that she's got nothing to talk to Leonidas about, and Tavinho responds that maybe she does and should hear out Leonidas. Deusa says that she knows that it's about Leo and that she's had it up to here with that story. Leonidas smiles and looks lovingly at Leo and calls him Diogo. Leo asks Leonidas if he thinks he'll die soon. Leonidas says, "My God!" and then definitively says, "No, I won't let you." Leo asks Leonidas if he's telling him the truth, and Leonidas affirms it. Tavinho tries to convince Deusa that Leonidas is suffering as much as she is over Leo and asks if they can come in. Deusa lets them in and tells them to hurry it up because she's got three clients waiting for her. While Deusa gets Tavinho a glass of water, Tavinho tells Leonidas to let him take care of the talking. Leo goes upstairs and continues looking at the article about Dolly's creation.
Deusa gets directly to the point and asks them what they want. Tavinho starts by telling Deusa that she, like every mother, wants what's best for her child. Leonidas says to himself, "I'll take care of this my way" and gets up and goes upstairs. Tavinho tells Deusa that Leo would have a good future as Leonidas' son. Leonidas asks Leo if he wants to go live in his house. Leo answers that he can't because he's leaving for Morocco to live in the desert. Leonidas asks Leo who he's going with and how he's going, and Leo responds that he's going alone as soon as he can because he thinks that that's what's best for him. Leo offers to take him to Morocco, and Leo is agreeable. Leonidas tells Leo they'll go to have supper at his house and to plan the trip. Deusa tells Tavinho to get to the point as Leonidas and Leo return to join them. Leo tells Deusa that he's going to have supper at Leonidas' house, and Deusa tells him he's not going. Leonidas pipes in that he invited Leo to go, and Leo assures Deusa that he'll be back after he goes to eat supper at Leonidas' house. Deusa insists that he'll go only if she goes with them, and Leonidas agrees that they'll all go.
Jade tries to get Zoraide to go with her to see Albieri, but Zoraide wants nothing to do with Albieri. Mohamed and Latiffa continue to argue about Zé Roberto, and Zoraide tells Jade that Mohamed is making a big deal over the fact that a friend of Samira's came to their street. Jade says she fears for Samira's luck. Latiffa tries to convince Mohamed that Samira is not to blame if a friend of hers came to visit and that if he comes down too hard on her, he'll end up alienating her from them. Latiffa tries to assure Samira to be patient with Mohamed, but Samira is adamant that she's not giving up Zé Roberto nor will she ever marry that fat boy Mohamed chose for her in Morocco. Samira insists that Mohamed will have to accept Zé Roberto because she likes Zé Roberto a lot. Xande returns to an empty house as he calls out for Mel. Doña Jura phones Xande and tells him that she saw in the newspapers that the entrance exams for the university are coming up and offers to help him study. Doña Jura asks Xande if Mel is helping him study, and Xande stammers that she is and tells her that Mel is right there with him looking for some books he has to read. Doña Jura proudly tells Aninha that Xande is a fighter just like she is and that he's determined to be a veterinarian some day. Xande notices that the VCR is gone.
Jade and Zoraide show up at the clinic and ask for Albieri. Zoraide tells Jade she'll wait for her in the reception area with Anita. Albieri recognizes Jade as Albieri's niece and asks her why Albieri didn't come with her. Jade tells Albieri that she needs to ask him a question about something that's causing her much anguish...how is it possible for one person to be the same as another because his godson looks just like a copy of Lucas. Albieri responds that his godson doesn't look like a copy of Lucas; he is a copy of Lucas. Jade asks who the young man is and why he's so much like Lucas. Albieri answers that it's because the young man is Lucas' clone and tells her that he recreated Lucas and made it possible for Lucas to be born again and to live again. Jade thinks of Zoraide's words that the past and future will cross in front of her. Jade asks if the clone's heart and mind are the same as Lucas', and Albieri tells her that he doesn't know about that part because the clone had a different upbringing but that Lucas and the clone share the same body gestures. Albieri mentions the clone's name is Leo, and Jade repeats Leo's name as if to remember it better.
Dalva takes Leo upstairs to Diogo's room while Deusa talks to Tavinho and Leonidas. Deusa tells Leonidas that they have little to talk about because she already knows that he wants to take Leo to live with him. Tavinho tries to keep the situation calm and says that they have all night to talk. Jade can't understand how it's possible for someone to live twice. Albieri philosophizes about the wonders of being able to relive your life in a different time and how the clone will have that opportunity to let them all know what it's like. Jade talks about the old Lucas being an insecure and fearful type and wonders if Leo would be different. Albieri assures her that Leo could very well be because fearfulness and insecurity are traits you acquire from the conditions under which you're raised. Anita tries to put Zoraide at ease and asks her if she could be an occidental for just one day, what would be the first thing she'd like to do? Zoraide has no interest in even speculating about such a thing and tells Anita that occidentals suffer too much and their luck is very sad. Anita thinks Zoraide's response is strange, and tells her that she thought for sure Muslim women would be itching to get rid of their veils. Zoraide defends the veil and criticizes occidental men for not respecting women and casting them aside when they get too fat or too old. Anita agrees and tells Zoraide that she's right; it's difficult to be a woman.
Maysa feels that she'll go crazy if she continues to watch as Leo rearranges some things in Diogo's room, turns around and leaves Leo with Dalva, and returns to her bedroom. Maysa holds up her wedding picture and tells Dalva that when she looks at Leo, she sees the passage of time in herself but not in Lucas. However, she does note that back then Lucas was different in that he was more affectionate, showed his emotions more and was so nice to her, just like Leo is now. Leonidas tells Deusa that he wants to compensate her for everything she went through and what she's going through now, and she gets insulted and accuses him of trying to buy Leo from her. Leonidas insists that Leo is his son too, and Tavinho tries to talk Deusa into coming to an agreement with Leonidas. Deusa wants nothing further to do with them and shouts out for Leo to come downstairs. Leonidas threatens to take the matter before a judge, and Deusa angrily says that they'll both go before a judge and see who wins. Deusa and Leo walk on the street, and Leo tells her he wanted to stay for dinner. Deusa tells Leo that from now on he won't be returning to that house. Leo asks Deusa if he isn't a clone, then why does he look so much like Leonidas' son. Deusa admits that she doesn't know and is afraid to even think about it. Leonidas is pleased when Dalva shows him how Leo had rearranged some things around in Diogo's room and tells her to let Leo change whatever he wants in that room or anywhere else in that house.
Xande is still waiting for Mel to come home and calls Telminha to tell her that Mel took the VCR and that he doesn't know what to do any more, adding that he wonders whether he now has to padlock everything in the house. Xande asks Telminha to come over because he needs to talk to someone and is afraid that if he leaves the house, Mel will show up and take some more things out of the house. As Miro and Alicinha kiss passionately, Escobar calls and Alicinha ignores the phone. Julio tells Escobar that he's backed himself into a dead-end street with no way out. Escobar admits to Julio that Alicinha is acting in an infantile way that he finds scary. Julio asks Escobar if Alicinha is interested in someone else, and Escobar doubts it, thinking that all Alicinha wants to do is to hurt him and punish him for deferring to Clarice; but the seed of doubt has been planted, and Escobar asks himself if it's possible that Alicinha might have dumped him for someone else.
Nando questions Clarice about Alicinha's refusal to turn over the apartment, and she tells him that that's Escobar's version but wonders if perhaps Escobar simply doesn't want to put the apartment in Nando's name. Clarice wonders why men let themselves be turned into marionettes when they get into the hands of young girls like Alicinha, and Nando teases her and tells her it must be because their mothers brought them up that way. The conversation then turns serious as Clarice asks Nando how it went with the band, and he tells her they're still talking. Clarice assures Nando that she has faith that he'll put his life back together again, and that when Carol sees that he's headed down the right path, she'll surely call him and offer to take him back. Nando says he really wants to put all that behind him, and Clarice tells him to get it into his head that he's already done it, that it's a done deal. Nando tells her it's not that simple; he still has urges to smoke marijuana or to snort some coke. Clarice tells Nando to model himself after Cecéu, and Nando responds that he's hanging in there. Clarice advises Nando to distance himself from the likes of Regininha and invites him to accompany her to Nefertiti to dance with her.
Nando pours himself a glass of Scotch, and Clarice approves of it, telling him that he can even have another if he wants to but cautions him to remember that moderation is the key to enjoying everything. Lobato talks about moderation being impossible for him, even though people thought that he could be taught moderation. Clarice tells Roger that Nando liked meeting him, and Roger responds that with a mother like her, he was sure he'd like Nando as well. Alicinha sees Roger and Clarice engaging in some hot and heavy kissing and glares at them with a clenched jaw. Zein sees her and comes over to ask her if there was a problem. Alicinha similes and denies it, but Zein isn't easily fooled and now wonders to himself if Alicinha is interested in Roger for herself. Telminha tries to convince Xande to tell Lucas and Maysa that Mel is stealing things from the house, but Xande doesn't want to. Xande tells Telminha that tomorrow is Doña Jura's birthday, and he's afraid to even leave the house to go buy her a present. Telminha tells Xande that he's not protecting Mel; he's simply covering up her acts. Xande admits that he can't go on living like that with Mel and that he'll have a serious talk with Mel. Telminha points out that he's had many a serious talk with Mel, and he's gotten nowhere. Mel frantically tells Regininha that they've got to get some money and suggests that they go home to get some things to sell. Regininha tells her that her house is too far away, and they need money now. Mel wants to know what Regininha is going to do, and Regininha tells her to watch and see as she stops a car and menacingly demands that the driver turn over her handbag. The driver does, and Regininha and Mel empty its contents and take the money, leaving the handbag and its contents on the street.
Khadija and Ranya exchange their usual insulting barbs, and Said comes by to demand that they stop. Ranya tries to get Said to pay attention to her by pretending to feel faint and cradles her belly for special effect. Khadija, not to be outfoxed by Ranya, pretends to faint herself, and Said then rushes over to Khadija. Said, not knowing which way to turn now, starts to call the two maids to help him. Jade tells Zoraide that Leo took her jade stone and wonders what the significance of that is. Zoraide thinks it means that Judgment Day is coming closer. Jade reminds Zoraide that the first time she lost her jade stone, it was Lucas who found it and returned it to her many years later, and now Leo had taken the jade stone with him. Zoraide thinks it means that Jade will once again meet up with the shadow because Jade's luck is in that stone and it's necessary for the shadow to return the jade stone. Jade asks Allah to keep her away from the shadow. Leo holds the jade necklace and lifts it his nose and lips, giving it a soft kiss.
Deusa tells Doña Mocinha, Tia Lula, and Edvaldo that she'll ask Laurinda if she knows a lawyer who can help her. Doña Mocinha asks Deusa if she really thinks that Leonidas will initiate a court case over Leo, and Deusa reminds her that Leonidas already has an attorney working on getting legal custody of Leo. Edvaldo tells Deusa that if he were the judge, he'd call Albieri to appear before him and challenge him to make a clone right there and then. Deusa leaves after cautioning Edvaldo to watch that Leo doesn't leave the house because Leo still has his bags packed. Soninha tells Laurinda that Deusa is downstairs waiting for her and that she's crying. Yvete snidely remarks that Deusa is shedding crocodile tears. Laurinda goes downstairs to see Deusa and talks to her on the street outside the store. Yvete haughtily saunters by but stops dead in her tracks when she hears Laurinda ask Deusa what Leonidas had done this time. Deus tearfully tells her that Leonidas wants to go to court to take Leo away from her. Yvete turns around and assures Deusa that Leonidas won't be able to do any such thing because she'll take care of it for her with three swift kicks today. Deusa sobs and pleads with Yvete to find a lawyer to help her. Yvete hugs Deusa as Deusa continues to plead for help.

Then he tells her he is thinking of buying a house in Fes for them; he'll stay behind in Brazil and visit them one month per year. Nazira thinks it is a wonderful idea; Latifa tells her to stop interfering in her house with her husband.
Jura celebrates her birthday. Don Sebastian, alias Tiao, gives Jura flowers and a big kiss. Xande is about to leave for the party when Mel returns and lies again, says she fell asleep on the wrong bus. He tells her she promises but never complies. She wasn't with him to buy a birthday present for his mother, hasn't helped him study. But she has fallen asleep. Xande arrives at the party just as Jura is kissing Tiao. He makes an excuse for Mel. Telmiña is with Mel when she wakes up, at Xande's request. Telmiña gives Mel a present to give to Jura. Telmiña warns Mel that she is losing Xande.
Ivette talks to Lucas about Leonidas' plans with Leo. Lucas assures her that he will prevent it.
Leo asks Deusa if she could love a clon; she says she loves Edvaldo, couldn't love anybody else. So he asks if she would love him if she learned he were a clon. She can't answer and he notices her reaction. He does tell her he wants nothing more to do with Albieri.
Ali tells Albieri he is returning to Morocco but is worried about him, about his pride, his vanity, his desire for public approval, not just for applause from half the world but from all, his desire to be known as the first. Just then, Leo arrives. Albieri tells Leo he didn't lie, he is his father, created him. Then he reintroduces Ali who reminds Leo of his house. Leo mentions the woman he saw dancing, Jade, no es cierto? Dónde esta ella? Ali realizes that the story is being repeated. Leo confronts Edna about her fear of him. She says she isn't afraid, just un accustomed. Leo asks if a woman could love a clone. Albieri says of course; there is nothing different but the manner of birth. Leo says it is different because he is a copy, if a woman falls in love with him it is because she thinks he is unique, so what happens when she meets the original. Edna insists to Leo it isn't fear in her eyes. Albieri shows Leo a bunch of literature on cloning,
Ivette and Lucas go to Deusa's house and, for the first time, Edvaldo, Mosña and Leo's aunt see Lucas. Ivette is still certain that Leo is the son of Leonidas and that Deusa betrayed her. Deusa comes home and finds Lucas.
Jade and Zoraide talk about Leo. Zoraide tells her not to think about him. Ali arrives and asks if they are ready to leave now, not tomorrow. He wants to stop over in Sáo Paulo first. Jade tells Latifa she wants to say goodbye to Kadija. She calls Said, asks to say goodbye to Kadija. He says no. He tells her to forget them. Kadija asks Said if Jade will return. He says no. Ali tries to take her mind off Jade, but fails. After they leave the room, Ali and Said talk. Ali says he knows that Jade wanted to say goodbye to Kadija. Said tells him that when he sees in her eyes what he wants to see, he will take her back.
Lidiane and Maysa arrive just as Leonidas tells Dalva to let Leo change whatever he wants in the house. Maysa tries to explain how meeting Leo is changing her feelings toward Lucas. Leo arrives at the house.
On the beach, Berta warns Miro that Telmiña is flirting with him. Edna tells Escobar she can't imagine putting an apartment in the name of an almost-stranger. She reminds him of the pirated software she used that put the files of the clinic in jeopardy. Edna suggests that he hire a lawyer. He telels her it isn't necessary. She is just upset. Then Edna tells him she saw Alicinha with another man.
RECAP: TUES 10/1 (Chapter 185) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-02-02 09:21 PDT
Samira objects to being grounded for one week and complains that Khadija has friends who are boys. Latiffa explains that Said is more Westernized than Mohamed and more open-minded in his thinking. Samira begs Latiffa to go talk to Mohamed, and when Latiffa leaves, Samira tells Sumaya that if she doesn't see Zé Roberto for a week, he'll go on to some other girl because he'll think she's no longer interested in him. Mohamed wants to send Samira off to Fez for a week, but Latiffa won't hear of it because she doesn't want to be separated from Samira. Mohamed then tells Latiffa that he's thinking of having a house built in Fez for them so that they could all move back; and he'd stay in Brazil to take care of the store, leaving it under Mustafá's hands for a month during which time he'd visit them in Fez. Latiffa refuses to accept Mohamed's plan as she conjures up a scene of Mohamed surrounded by several attractive women catering to his every need. Nazira joins them and says that she thinks it's a dandy idea. Latiffa and Nazira exchange their usual insults while Mohamed ineffectively tries to get them to stop. Abdul comes by and orders Latiffa and Nazira to their rooms and sternly tells Mohamed to take charge of the women or they'll end up walking all over him.
It's Doña Jura's birthday celebration, and Ligeiro and Raposão use the occasion to inaugurate their new business, a message delivery service, replete with a car decorated with balloons and flowers. Raposão, resplendent in a sequin dinner jacket somewhat like the ones circus barkers wear, recites a poem that Tião wrote for Doña Jura. Ligeiro's worker, Gasolina, explains to Creuza that Tião writes the messages for their new delivery service. Basilio calls Xande to tell him that the celebration is under way. Xande gets ready to leave the house when Mel walks in. Xande asks her where she was, and once again Mel comes up with an alibi; this time she got on the wrong bus and ended up in Petropolis and stayed with a university friend of hers. Mel adds that she hadn't called Xande because she had no money. Xande tells her to stop already with the stories because he knows full well that she was with Regininha, with whom she had been seen, and asks her about the missing VCR. Mel denies knowing anything about the whereabouts of the VCR and lies down on the couch as Xande starts to tell her how she's no longer there for him, literally and figuratively; but when he turns around, she's fast asleep and doesn't hear him.
Yvete goes to see Lucas at his office and asks him to help her solve the problem with Deusa. Lucas assures her that Leonidas won't take Leo away from Deusa and that he's already spoken to Tavinho about it. Lucas agrees to go to Deusa's house to talk to Deusa and to meet Leo. Leo asks Deusa if she could fall in love with a clone, and she tells him that she doesn't want him to talk about clones, assuring him that he's not a clone. Tia Lula comes in to say that Albieri is calling about Leo, and Deusa tells her to say that Leo is not home. Leo affirms to Deusa that he no longer wants to see Albieri but wants to find the woman who owns the jade necklace because he knows that when she sees him, she won't confuse him with a clone or with a ghost and will know him and call him by his name, Leo.
Ali tells Albieri that he's leaving tomorrow for Morocco with his niece and that he's still concerned about Albieri being so vain that he won't be content with anything less than worldwide applause for his accomplishment and about what that exposure would do to Albieri's clone. They talk about the Italian doctor, Severino Antinori, who reportedly implanted a cloned cell into the uterus of several women, and how jealous Albieri is that Antinori is getting all the attention for supposedly being the first scientist to accomplish this feat. Albieri adds that he knows that Albieri is afraid to divulge that he was first twenty years ago because he doesn't want to face the criticism that Antinori is now facing. Edna goes to the door thinking that it's Anita, and it turns out to be Leo instead. Yvete shows up with Lucas at Doña Mocinha's house and asks for Deusa. Doña Mocinha, Tia Lula and Edvaldo are left speechless as they look at Lucas. Yvete explains that Lucas is Leonidas' son and says that she still thinks that Leonidas betrayed her.
Albieri assures Leo that he hadn't lied to him when he told him he was his father because he is his father because he created him. Albieri asks Leo if he remembers Ali, and Leo recalls the house in Morocco and mentions that that's where he saw that woman dancing. Ali looks at Leo and thinks to himself, "Jade has made her way into his heart and the same old story is happening again." Leo asks Ali if it's true that the woman was named Jade and asks where she is. Ali tells Leo that Jade is in Morocco. Albieri offers to take Leo to Morocco and adds that Edna will go too. Leo looks at Edna, who's looking at him warily, and asks her if she's afraid of him. Edna assures him that she's not; it's just that she's hasn't gotten used to him yet. Ali thinks to himself that Albieri didn't really create a new life; he took a cell from a life that already existed, much the same way that you can take the flame from a fire and use it to create another fire. Leo asks if it's possible for a woman to fall in love with a person who's a clone. Albieri says of course it is because the only difference between a clone and everyone else is the form in which life is created. Leo disagrees and tells Albieri that a clone is a copy and that if a woman were to fall in love with him, it would be because she would think that he was unique; and when she discovers that he's not, but merely a copy of someone else, she'd want to fall in love with the original. Jade wonders whether Lucas' shadow remembers her and if he would feel everything Lucas had felt towards her. Zoraide thinks he would and encourages Jade to stay away from the shadow and not even think about it. Jade says she can't because the shadow took her stone and her luck with him and asks Zoraide if she should go to Albieri to have him get the stone back from the shadow. Ali comes home and tells them they're leaving today, not tomorrow, but first they're going to Sao Paulo so that he can talk to the sheik.
The party for Doña Jura is in full swing, and Amim gives Doña Jura her birthday present on behalf of the family. It's a lovely veil, and Mohamed tells Doña Jura that she'll look good wearing it. Doña Jura invites them to stay for cake, but Mohamed says he's busy at the store and would be by later with the rest of the family. Ligeiro and Aninha try to guess who the father of Karla's baby is, but all Karla will admit to is that he's not known to them. Xande shows up just as Tião and Jura are kissing. Aninha tells Xande that he just missed the inauguration of the message delivery service but encourages him to read the message Tião left for Jura, which has been put on display. Aninha teases Xande that she sees a marriage in the air between Doña Jura and Tião, and Xande tells her she must be joking. Xande gives Doña Jura her birthday present and when she asks about Mel, he tells her that Mel is shopping for a present for her and will be by soon, which Doña Jura doesn't believe as she gives him a doubting look. Mel wakes up and sees Telminha, who tells her that Xande asked her to come stay with her. Mel asks for Xande, and Telminha responds that Xande is at his mother's birthday celebration. Mel seems surprised to find out that it's Doña Jura's birthday today, and Telminha reminds her that Xande's been talking about it all week. Telminha gives Mel a gift that she bought for her to give to Doña Jura, and Mel thanks her and tells her she's exhausted. Telminha bring up Xande's entrance exams, and Mel assures her that she's going to help him study for his tests starting today. Mel complains of a headache and asks Telminha to help her make some coffee. Telminha tells Mel that she's losing Xande, making Mel wonders if Xande has said anything, but Telminha tells her that he didn't have to because she can see it for herself. Mel denies that there's anything wrong between her and Xande and says that they're only going thorough some rough spots. Telminha exhorts Mel to take a look at herself, and Mel gets all defensive and accuses Telminha of coming over just to make her feel bad. Mel insists she's got everything under control and that she's no drug addict. Telminha challenges Mel to tell her how far she's gong to take all this because she's losing her friends and family. Mel turns around, but Telminha follows her into the kitchen where Mel cries and admits that she's suffering a lot as she hugs Telminha.
Deusa rushes in and goes over to Yvete to see if Yvete has found her a lawyer. Deusa turns and sees Lucas, who tells her he's there to let her know that he's opposed to the war that Leonidas is waging against her and assures her that he won't permit it to continue. Lucas sees all of them staring at him and remarks that they're all looking at him as if he were an extraterrestrial. Leo tells Edna that the reason he wants to leave is that it seems to him that people don't like him and that even she, who had raised him, looks at him with fear. Albieri brings some scientific articles for Leo to look as so that he can see how a clone is made. Jade tells Latiffa that she wants to say goodbye to Khadija and goes to phone Said. Said refuses Jade's request and curtly tells her to go on with her life and to forget about them. Jade seeks comfort in Latiffa's arms and sobs about how unfair it is. Khadija, with a hopeful look, asks Said if Jade is returning home; but Said abruptly tells her no. Ali tries to distract Khadija by asking her to tell him a story. Khadija instead tells him that she had a dream that Jade had remarried Said and smugly reminds Ranya that everyone knows that a child's dreams come true. Ranya gets up and leaves with Amina, and Said scolds Khadija, telling her that in making Ranya cry, she's also making her unborn baby brother cry. Khadija declares that it's not a baby boy, but an ugly baby girl who Said is going to be afraid to look at. Khadija gets up and leaves, and Ali tells Said to leave Khadija alone because she's just being jealous. Ali changes the conversation to Jade and tries to soften Said's attitude, but Said is adamant and says that he'll let Jade back into his life only when the day comes that she looks at him with love in her eyes.
Leonidas happily tells Dalva to change whatever Leo wants in the house and to buy him everything he wants. Lidiane tells Maysa that she's dying to meet Leo because Tavinho hasn't stopped talking about him. Maysa confesses to Lidiane that ever since she saw Leo, she's been confused about her feelings towards Lucas because she's beginning to relive the feelings she had for him. Lidiane asks if Lucas too has those feelings, and Maysa tells her that Lucas has yet to see Leo and he keeps putting it off because Leo is his mirror. Leo comes in with a flourish and declares, "Here I am." Lidiane looks at him in disbelief. Telminha tells Miro that she had a long talk with Mel and told her that she would end up losing Xande. Miro wishes Xande would come to his senses, and Telminha talks about her despair at watching Mel sink lower and lower and not being able to help her. Beta comes by and tells them that Regininha had been in prison for assault. Telminha wonders if it's true and frets that Mel doesn't know about it. Telminha leaves to talk to some friends, and Beta tells Miro that she thinks Telminha is flirting with him and would make a good girlfriend. Miro tells not to invent things.
Anita chews Escobar out for putting the apartment in Alicinha's name after knowing her for only a few months. Edna adds that Alicinha caused the clinic a problem too with some pirated software she had installed on their computers. Anita advises Escobar to seek a lawyer, but Escobar wants to wait and see if he can find a solution without taking such a radical step because he thinks that Alicinha is acting the way she is because she's upset with all of them. Anita says she's not all the upset because she saw her with another man.

RECAP: WED 10/2 (Chapter 186) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-03-02 10:33 PDT
Anita tells Escobar that she saw Alicinha on the beach with a very good-looking guy. Edna says she's not the least bit surprised, and Anita adds that the only reason she's telling Escobar is so that he doesn't put anything else in Alicinha's name. Edna snidely remarks that she thinks it's enough that the apartment and the car are already in Alicinha's name.
Lucas asks Michele who moved everything around in Diogo's room, and she explains that it was Leo and that he had done it with Leonidas' approval. Lucas complains to Leonidas that after 20 years, a stranger has been allowed to make changes in the house that not even Maysa could make when Mel was little. Lucas and Leonidas debate whether Leo is a stranger or is really Leonidas' son, and Lucas declares that he's avoided seeing Leo because he's fed up with the whole story and is not sure he can control himself. Lucas tells Leonidas that he understands how Leonidas is desperate enough to believe any story that would bring back Diogo, but he doesn't understand why Leonidas has lost his ability for critical thinking. Leonidas admits that he knows that Leo is not Diogo but adds that he's the same as Diogo and that it's strange for Leo to have appeared at the same age as Diogo was when Diogo had died. Lucas can't understand why Leonidas hasn't asked Albieri for a DNA test, which Leonidas scoffs at because he says he knows Leo is his son. Lucas accuses Leonidas of being afraid that the DNA test would bring an end to his dream, and Leonidas refuses to discuss the matter any further. Lucas tells Leonidas that he was at Deusa's house and had told her he'd oppose any move on Leonidas' part to claim custody of Leo. Leonidas responds him he's already made a claim, and Lucas tells him he'll face him in court.
Alicinha tells Miro to meet her at Nefertiti and hangs up the phone to get the door. Escobar forces his way in and demands that she get her things and get out of the apartment. Alicinha threatens to call the police and dares him to prove that the apartment isn't hers. Alicinha denies having another man, but turns the tables on Escobar and accuses him of being seen with another woman. Escobar admits that he's gone out with Anita but he's not interested in her, and Alicinha tells him that a woman, who she thinks is Anita, keeps calling her to tell her that she's out with her boyfriend. Escobar tells Alicinha that it was Anita who told him that she had seen her with another man, and Alicinha says to herself, "Gotcha!!" and lays a guilt trip on Escobar, telling him that she's upset because of what Anita is doing to her.
Several days later Ali is back in Fez with Zoraide and Jade. Jade tells Zoraide how much she misses Khadija. Nazira tells Sumaya and Samira that Mohamed is becoming just like Abdul in his refusal to let modern ideas enter his head. Mohamed overhears her and accuses her of corrupting the girls with her modern thinking. Mohamed gets so annoyed that he takes off his shoe and hurls it at Nazira, barely missing her as she leaves the room. Deusa is worried that Leo has gone for good because his backpack is gone. Leonidas finds out that Leo has fled and orders Tavinho to find him.
Days later, Ranya tells Amina that she's worried about Khadija's dream and asserts that she must give Said a son. Amina assures her that she will because she's prepared a special offering for Allah that Ranya must give to some children personally to dispel Khadija's dream. Khadija stands behind a curtain and overhears the entire conversation. Khadija tells the maid that it'll do no good for Ranya to follow Amina's plan because the baby will be as ugly as a toad. Ranya and Amina go to a playground to offer the boys the bowls of food Amina had prepared.
Months later, Ranya contemplates her very pregnant belly as Khadija looks on. Xande is nervous about the results of his entrance exam, which will be posted this afternoon. Xande tells Mel that he'll check the results and call her if he passed the test. Mel assures him that he passed, and Xande leaves for work. Mel gets antsy and tells herself that she won't be able to stay in the house and wait. Mel walks on the beach with Regininha and tells her that she needs a toke because she's nervous about Xande's test results. Regininha says that she too needs a toke because her mother has been on her case all day. Xande calls Telminha to tell her that he passed his exam but can't get a hold of Mel to share the happy news. Mel needs to get a hold of the money she owes her drug dealer and sends Regininha off to get Xande because the drug dealer is holding her hostage until the money shows up.
Xande tells Doña Jura that he passed his test and everyone at the bar celebrates. Xande sees Regininha and goes over to her to ask about Mel. Regininha tells Xande that she's being held by the drug dealer until she pays up what she owes. Xande joins the crowd in a toast and accepts everybody's congratulatory greetings. Noemia wants to know why she can't go to Doña Jura's bar to join in the celebration, and Mustafá tells her that it's inappropriate now that she's married to him. Mustafá takes the key to the house and locks Noemia in to make sure she stays away from the bar. Xande continues to join in the celebration in his honor but gets away as soon as he can so that he can leave with Regininha. Regininha is downing a beer and grabs two more glasses from the tray Basilio offers her. Xande slaps away the two beers, but Regininha tells him she needs a drink or else she won't take him to see Mel. Karla, visibly pregnant, walks by and Raposão tells Aninha, "There goes the million dollar womb." and also remarks that from the way Odete is proudly carrying on about Karla's pregnancy, you'd think Karla was giving birth to a check instead of a baby.
Deusa despairs that Leo has left for the desert. Dalva sobs because Leo has disappeared. Leonidas fumes as he tells Tavinho that it's impossible for someone to disappear without a trace and orders him to get a detective. Leonidas leaves the office and sees Amalia, who tells him that she's there to see someone else. Lucas encourages Tavinho to let Leo stay disappeared but to let him know if he surfaces so that he can take the necessary action. Lobato marvels at the thought of meeting himself 20 years younger, but Lucas, who's struggled for many years to find his own identity as the twin of the more gregarious, assertive Diogo, has no interest in the likelihood of meeting up with himself as a younger man. Lucas adds that he already lost plenty by not feeling sufficiently secure or decisive when he was younger and that's why he lost Jade.
Jade tells Ali that if she had to do it over again, she'd have done things differently. Everyone awaits the birth of Ranya's baby. Said paces nervously while Mohamed tries to keep him calm. Latiffa, acting as a midwife, is accompanied by Nazira, Amina, and the two maids, as Ranya is about to give birth. Ranya yells and screams that she wants a boy. Khadija begs Allah for it be a girl as she awaits the birth in Samira's room. Khadija and Samira hear the screaming and go out to stand by the doorway as Latiffa assures Ranya that the baby is about to be born. The baby is born and Said rushes in and asks if it's a boy or a girl.

RECAP: THU 10/3 (Chapter 187) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-04-02 10:48 PDT Ranya has a boy, which thrills Said but certainly not Khadija. Xande worries about coming up with the 300 reales. Regininha sees a ring on the table in Xande and Mel's house and pockets it. Regininha suggests to Xande that she go to Mel's father to ask for the money, but Xande vetoes the idea. Regininha tells Xande to hurry up or else Mel will die and that she's not kidding either. Beta and Telminha sit on the beach, and Beta teases Telminha about liking Miro. Telminha denies she's interested in him, but asks Beta if Miro has a girlfriend. Beta tells her that he does, but it's nothing serious. Beta tells her that if she were Telminha, she'd go after Miro. Miro comes by and invites Telminha and Beta to go with him to Xande's celebration at Doña Jura's. Beta declines but Telminha accepts and leaves with Miro. Beta sees Zein on the beach and tells him that she had looked for him, but after he fell in love, he disappeared off the face of the earth. Beta asks Zein if he had gotten over his love or whether the whole thing had simply not been true, and Zein answers that it was neither: he simply returned to reality.
Yvete tells Laurinda that she wants to have a parade in front of the store as a promotional event. Laurinda tells her they've done that already, but Yvete says this one will be different because it will involve parents and their children. Yvete goes to answer the door, thinking it's Chuvas who she's expecting, but it turns out to be Leonidas. Leonidas comes in and kisses Yvete. Laurinda leaves them alone, and Yvete asks Leonidas why he's gone for months and now, just like that, he shows up and kisses her. Leonidas asks her if she's got someone else with her, and Yvete says there's no one there but there could have been. Yvete starts to complain about Leonidas' involvement with Deusa and Leo, and Leonidas turns around to leave. Yvete tells him to stay and tells him that she's a changed woman who'll exact a huge chunk of change from him for taking her back into his life. Leonidas tells her he'll give her everything she wants, and they kiss again as she rattles off a list of all the things she wants him to buy her.
Xande tries to pawn his watch, but the pawnbroker tells him the watch is worthless. The celebration continues at Doña Jura's without the guest of honor. Doña Jura is starting to get annoyed and tells Basilio to call Xande's house. Telminha worries that Mel has had a relapse, and Miro tells her that it sure looks that way. Telminha exclaims that it had to happen today of all days, and Xande commiserates and tells her that he's talked to Xande about the life he has with Mel. Alicinha calls Miro, and he talks to her affectionately while Telminha looks on. Alicinha goes home and finds Escobar and his two suitcases waiting for her. Escobar tells Alicinha that it makes no sense for him to keep paying for the hotel, that he's given her plenty of time to think, and now it's time for them to work things out under the same roof. Clarice tells Carol that she learned from Anita that Escobar had moved back in with Alicinha and wonders how Alicinha is going to get out of that one because for all intents and purposes Alicinha is a kept woman who doesn't make enough money to support herself and her expensive tastes. Cecéu comes by hand in hand with Amalia and as they leave, Carols remarks that it looks like Amalia is showing her face around the office to show up Leonidas and that if Leonidas sees it, it certainly won't bode well for Cecéu.
Xande again tries to pawn his watch and again is turned down. Albieri tells Edna that Simone will go ahead with her complaint against him before the Ethics Board and has already found legal representation. Edna gets upset and calls Simone a traitor, but Albieri surprisingly says that he understands Simone's position. Albieri also says that it looks like everyone is aware of Simone's complaint, and from what he hears, just about everybody questions whether he did indeed create a human clone. Edna says that's a good thing, but Albieri disagrees and says he's got living proof, Lucas. Edna tells him that she doesn't think that Lucas wants to get involved in scandals of that type, and that from what she knows, Lucas hasn't approached Leo nor does he want to approach him. Albieri responds that Leonidas wants to and if Leonidas continues with his paternity suit, Albieri can't deny that he cloned Lucas because he would probably be called to testify as a witness. Albieri once again talks about wanting to be recognized for his achievement but realizes that, at the very least, he'll face expulsion from the Ethics Board.
Dalva runs to tell Maysa, who's sitting with Lidiane in the living room, that Xande has come to the house without Mel. Xande comes in and asks Dalva where he can find Lucas. Dalva asks if something happened to Mel, and Xande looks away and asks Maysa if he can talk to her privately. In private, Xande tells Maysa that Mel is being held by a gang of drug dealers and that he needs to get a hold of 300 reales or it'll be the end of Mel. Maysa breaks into tears, as does Dalva, who stands nearby and overhears the conversation. Xande adds that they wouldn't even let him see Mel, and Lidiane asks what's going on. Xande tells Maysa that he tries to pawn his watch, and Maysa starts to scream that she can't take it anymore. Dalva pleads with Maysa to give Xande the money and then tells Xande to wait while she goes to get it. Maysa vents that she did the right thing with Mel and doesn't deserve this from her. Lidiane admits that she already had an inkling that drugs were involved, and Maysa asks her to please not say anything about it to anyone. Lidiane assures her that she won't, not even to her family. Dalva returns with 400 reales and tells Xande to take it in case he needs the extra money. Maysa tells Xande that she'll go with him, and they leave together in a taxi.
Telminha asks Miro about his girlfriend, and he tells her that she's the promoter at Nefertiti and that they've been going together for a few months. Telminha asks if he's in love with his girlfriend, and Miro says that love is a serious matter. Miro continues and adds that he doesn't think he's in love with Alicinha, but that he does like her because he likes decisive, strong women like her. Alicinha tells Zein that she fell in love with Miro at first sight but had to wait for him to get over Yvete, who seemed to more interested in Leonidas that in Miro. Zein tells Alicinha that Yvete had ended things with Miro on account of him because he had kissed Yvete and unknown to him one of his employees had seen it and reported it to Miro and now Yvete was annoyed at him. Zein adds that he's surprised at her love for Miro when just yesterday he saw her making goo-goo eyes at Roger. Alicinha laughs it off, but thinks to herself, "Great idea! Why not?" Xande and Maysa get out of the taxi, and Xande suggests that Maysa stay by the taxi while he takes care of getting Mel. Mel gives Xande a baleful look, goes over to him and gives him a hug.
Said declares that the baby's name will be Munir, which means the enlightened one, and recites a prayer from the Koran. Mohamed explains to Amim and to Samira that the same prayer was recited when they were born. Khadija looks like she's about to cry, and she begs Allah not to pay attention to the prayer for good health and a long life for the newborn. When Xande brings Mel out to the street, she wants to know what Maysa is doing there. Maysa asks Mel what they did to her and how she could have ended up in a place like that. Mel angrily tells her to stop because she's making her nervous. Maysa responds that she's the one who's nervous, having to come to a place like that to get Mel. Mel says she didn't ask for her to come there, and Xande tries to play the role of peacemaker by assuring Maysa that everything's okay now. Maysa yells at Mel that she came there so that they'd set her free or otherwise she'd be dead. Mel answers that she would have preferred if Maysa had not paid the bill. Xande calls for calm, and they all leave.
Lidiane tells Telminha that something serious had happened with Mel, but that Maysa hadn't wanted to confide in her. Telminha points out that Lidiane did the same thing when Cecéu was involved with drugs by trying to hide if from everyone. Lidiane says there's no comparison between Cecéu's experimenting with drugs and Mel's addiction. The maid comes by and Lidiane asks her what happed to Creuza, who had always insisted on cleaning her room and all of a sudden was no longer interested. The maid shrugs it off and tells her that that's typical of Creuza, but Telminha and Lidiane both agree that it's strange indeed. Dalva rushes out and sees that Maysa came home alone and asks about Mel. Maysa tells her that Mel went home and then breaks down in tears as she insists that Dalva tell her what Mel had against her and what she had done to Mel that was so bad. Dalva tries to calm Maysa, but Maysa brings up her past sacrifices to keep her marriage together for Mel's sake and doesn't understand the source of Mel's anger towards her because Mel was not like that with her father, with her grandfather, nor with Dalva. Maysa keeps repeating that she can't take any more and is going to go crazy from it all as she sobs in Dalva's arms.
Xande tells Mel that he's had it, that as much as he loves her, if that's the life she chose for herself, he's not going to be a part of it. Mel asks Xande to forgive her, but he ignores her and tells her that he couldn't even enjoy the celebration in his honor because he was going around trying to raise the money to set her free and that if he hadn't gotten a hold of Maysa, he wouldn't have been able to get the money because in their home there was nothing left to sell. Xande adds that he felt sorry for Maysa today because she had to see Mel like that. Mel cries and tells Xande that she's suffering and tries to go into his arms, but he pushes her away and tells her that he's always there for her but she's never there for him and that she's sucking the life out of him. Mel insists she went to the drug dealer to pay her tab, that the money must have fallen out of her bag, and that she hadn't gone there to buy anything. Xande tells her that that was the last time he was going to put up with her excuses, and she'd have to choose between him and drugs. Mel tells him she already chose him, and Xande says he'll never ask her that again and tells her that he never again wants to see her on drugs because he won't give her another chance. Mel swears that she's no longer doing drugs, goes through her pockets, and takes out her stash for Xande to see. Mel hugs Xande, and Xande walks over to the drugs but does nothing to confiscate them. Instead, he tells Mel he has to be alone to get his head straight and goes out for a walk, leaving Mel alone with the drugs.
Beta talks to Miro at Nefertiti and asks him how it went with Telminha, surprising Miro, who tells her that he doesn't know why she's insisting that he has something going on with Telminha. Beta tells him to wake up because the woman he's looking for in his life is Telminha, not Alicinha. Alicinha comes by, ignores Beta, gives Miro a kiss and takes him out on the dance floor. Clarice and Roger come in and talk about going away together on a vacation to France after the 15th of the month. Clarice glances over and sees Alicinha and Miro kissing rather passionately on the dance floor and remarks to Roger that she didn't know that they were an item. Roger tells her that Miro and Alicinha have been together for a while now. Beta asks Zein if he had called Jade as he said he would. Zein says he hadn't but that at that very moment, he was making his presence known to Jade.
Zoraide tells Jade that a stranger was downstairs asking for her, and she was going to call Ali. Jade walks out to the balcony and sees a young man looking up at her and asking if she's Jade. Jade affirms that she is and the young man claps his hand, upon which a singer/belly dancer and her troupe enter the house and perform a candelabra dance. Jade whispers Lucas' name softly. Ali, Abdul, and Zoraide walk in with Sumaya and watch as the dancers perform. Zein stops and contemplates the scene that is transpiring in Fez. Jade smiles happily as she watches the performance. Lucas asks Dalva why he wasn't called about Mel, and she answers that she didn't have time to call him. Lucas tells Dalva that he feels guilty but he doesn't know from what because he had stayed with Mel and let Jade go when Mel was born and again when Mel developed her drug problem. Lucas acknowledges that Maysa sacrificed a lot too to keep their marriage together. Dalva thinks it does no good now for him or Maysa to try to figure out who's to blame, and noting Lucas' faraway look asks him what he's thinking. Lucas admits that he's thinking about Jade, wondering if somehow she knows what's going on in his life and also wonders how she is and what's going on with her.
Jade comes downstairs and one of the men opens up a jewelry box containing a necklace and a gift card. Ali takes the card and sees that it's from Zein. Abdul responds that if he had know that the spectacle he was viewing was ordered by Zein, the infidel, he never would have come to see it and goes off in search of Sumaya, who hides behind Zoraide as Zoraide tells Abdul to go look for her in the house. Jade reads the card aloud which says, "Any act on your part will be a yes, your silence will be a no." Ali asks Jade if she's going to respond or let her silence speak for itself, and Jade says that she doesn't know. Ali tells Jade that she refuses to accept the happiness being sent her way and is afraid to say yes to Zein because tomorrow Lucas might come along. Ali cautions her to stick with a sure bet and not gamble on a mere possibility. Jade tells Ali that she'll say yes. Ali approves and reminds Jade that love grows from living together with someone and with a man like Zein, who knows how to please a woman, she'll easily grow to love him. Jade tells Ali that she'll tell Zein yes and goes to her room to read the card again. Zoraide comes in to bring Jade the necklace and tells Jade how pretty it is.
Lucas picks up the phone to call Jade. Jade asks who it is, but he doesn't answer. Jade covers the mouthpiece and whispers to Zoraide that it's Zein but that he doesn't want to speak. Jade talks into the phone and says, "Zein, your gift was pretty, you always thrill me so much, but I ask only one thing of you, that you give me more time to.I want to love you. Lucas no longer interests me; Said no longer interests me. I want you Zein. I want you."

Albieri fica chateado ao saber que Edna deixou que Leo fosse para o Marrocos. Leo vai embora de casa. USA, 10/4/02. Lucas calls Jade but doesn't say anything when she answers; she assumes it is Zein, tells him she wants to love him, is no longer interested in Lucas or Said. He hangs up and she tells Zoraide her future is set. Leonida and Ivette talk. He tries to explain about cloning, shows her an article on it. She still doesn't seem to believe it. He also reviews their past, tries to explain how he felt not only on learning that she spent a night with Diogo, but on the day of Diogo's death: they argued, he didn't stop Diogo from flying the helicopter, etc., etc. He felt a lot of guilt that the presence of Leo has removed. Xande packs and moves back to his mother when he finds that Mel isn't waiting at home for him; she is with Reginha. When she returns, he is gone. Edna suggests to Albieri that he could transfer the blame to Simone since she was the one who did the implantation. He can't believe she would suggest such a thing. Leo tells Albieri he wants to go to the desert; Albieri tells him he doesn't know the language or customs, will take him there later, after his personal problems have been settled. But Edna, unknown to Albieri, gives Leo the money. He is ambivalent about seeing Lucas: he doesn't want to see what he will look like, be like, when he is old (40). On the other hand, he wants to know more about Lucas so he can understand himself better. Lucas, too, doesn't want to meet Leo. Edna gives him an excursion ticket, so he'll be with a group and won't get lost, for a 23-day trip. Leo says he doesn't know if he will return, doesn't like the way people look at him, and there is a woman waiting for him. Lidiane finds it curious that Creusa was so anxious to clean up her bedroom but no longer is. Jura finds Tiao on the beach, flirting with some girls. Mel goes home and Maysa greets her with open arms. In her room, she looks at pictures of Xande, swears that she won't lose him. She goes downstairs to her parents and tells them that she needs help.
RECAP: FRI 10/4 (Chapter 188) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-05-02 10:44 PDT Lucas hangs up the phone, and Jade tells Zoraide that she said what she had to say. Leonidas tells Yvete that he can't think of anything but Leo and can't forgive Albieri for having hidden Leo from him. Leonidas says that he knows that Leo is not Diogo, but he makes him feel like Diogo has returned and this has given him a new lease on life. Leonidas talks about the wonder of being able to go back in time 20 years and being able to let go of the guilt he felt all those years and the resentment he felt towards Yvete for coming between him and Diogo. Leonidas ends by telling Yvete that now he feels free to live everything they hadn't lived and free to marry her. Xande talks to Pitoco and tells him that he thinks Mel learned a tough lesson from having to face up to him and to Maysa. Xande brings home Mel's favorite food and some flowers, but it's all in vain as he comes home to empty house. Mel tells Regininha that she couldn't stay home waiting for Xande and that she just had to have a toke but that she was leaving the drug world behind because she really wanted a life with Xande. Xande starts to pack his things.
Amim tells Doña Jura that Latiffa is a good soccer player, and Doña Jura wants to challenge her to a championship soccer match pitting the Arab women against her team. Xande shows up at the bar with his bags packed and tells Doña Jura that he's returned home. Mel returns home to an empty house the next morning and sees that Xande's clothes are gone. Lobato tells his analyst how much he suffered when people would tire of him and abandon him, but it wasn't until recently that he realized that what he really missed were the drugs and alcohol the people gave him, not the people because he had simply used them to get what he wanted. Mel goes to Doña Jura's bar to ask for Xande, and Doña Jura tells him that she's wasting her time looking for him because he won't have anything to do with her. Doña Jura adds that if she wants Xande back, Mel has to get clean first. Maysa looks at a photo album of Mel's baby pictures, and asks Dalva if Mel had called. Dalva tells her that she keeps trying to phone Mel, but no one is answering the phone. Lucas is alone in his room and thinks of Jade's last words to him when she told him that she wanted to stay with Zein. Jade tells Ali that she told Zein yes, which pleases him greatly.
Edna tells Albieri that she would be capable of using any means necessary to defend him and suggests that he let the Ethics Board think that Simone knowingly implanted the clone even after Albieri says that it wasn't true and he couldn't be dishonest. Edna points out that his accusers wouldn't think twice about restorting to any tactic to bring him down. Albieri thinks to himself that at times Edna scares him. Leo shows up at the door and tells Albieri that he wants to go to the desert. Edna tells Leo that he'll be all alone in Morocco and asks who'll look after him. Leo tells her that there's a woman waiting for him in Morocco, and all he needs is a plane ticket. Albieri questions Leo about the woman, and Leo tells her that he met her in Fez but doesn't reveal her name. Edna thinks to herself that sending Leo away would be helpful to them, but Albieri tries to talk Leo out of going by telling him that he'll take him to Morocco after he takes care of some pending things. Albieri tries to get Leo interested in reading more about cloning and goes off to get him some articles about the Italian doctor who was recently in the news. While he does so, Leo tells Edna that he's going to Morocco even if Albieri doesn't want him to go. Edna tells him she'll give the money for the trip, but she wants him to go as part of a tour group with a guide so that he doesn't get lost in Morocco. Edna cautions Leo that Albieri mustn't know about it.
As Maysa leaves to go for a walk, she sees Mel returning home with her belongings. Maysa smiles, sheds a grateful tear, and gives Mel a hug. Mel and Maysa walk back into the house, and Dalva gives Mel her usual warm hug, but Mel remains somewhat sullen. Maysa sends Dalva off to get Mel something to eat, takes Mel to her room and asks her if she wants to take a bath or change her clothes, neither of which Mel feels like doing. Maysa asks Mel to tell her what she's feeling, and Mel answers that she feels nothing and then curls up in Maysa's lap and quickly falls asleep. Lucas comes in and sees Mel and asks what happened. Maysa tells him she didn't want to ask Mel. Lucas sheds a tear as he looks at Mel in her disheveled state and remarks that she looks like she's been badly treated. Maysa responds that Mel is a reflection of their own lives unadorned by makeup, and Lucas agrees. Doña Jura tells Xande that Mel had come around looking for him and that she had told Mel to say away until she was clean. Xande defends Mel and says that he has lots of things to be grateful to her for and wonders if he couldn't have done more for her. Doña Jura tells Xande that even gratitude has its limits, and Xande admits that she's right. Doña Jura asks Xande to promise her that he won't go looking for Mel, and he does, assuring Doña Jura that he knows that the only way he can help Mel is by staying away to show her that he means business.
Basilio tells Doña Jura that the Arab women accepted the challenge for the soccer match. Noemia tells Mustafá that she's playing in the game whether he likes it or not. Nazira tells Latiffa that she'll get Pitoco to train them, but Mohamed insists he'll be their trainer. Nazira objects, and Mohamed tells her he'll cancel the game. Nazira hurls her usual insults at him and leaves in a huff. Amim comes home from school alone and tells Latiffa and Mohamed that Samira didn't wait for him again. Zé Roberto offers to walk Samira home, but Samira tells him she can't take him home to meet her father because he won't accept him as her boyfriend or even as a friend because of their religious differences. Zé Roberto takes Samira's and tells her how much he likes her, and she tells him that she likes him too and that her father will just have to accept it. Zé Roberto reaches for Samira, and they kiss each other several times.
Jade walks in the Medina with Zoraide and asks Zoraide if she doesn't think it's odd that Zein hasn't called her. Zoraide thinks it's in keeping with Zein's character because he likes the element of surprise. Zoraide continues and says that if she were Zein, she wouldn't call either; she would arrive in person unannounced. Jade tells Zoraide that she's such a romantic and asks her if she was ever in love. Zoraide tells her that she wasn't but that one time she was going to marry someone who Karima's mother had said was handsome and who worked for Ali in the leather tanning vats, but then when Latiffa was born, they sent her back to Brazil to take care of her; and by the time she returned to Fez, the man had married someone else and no one ever again come to Ali to ask for her hand in marriage. Jade thinks that that's a sad story, but Zoraide smiles and tells Jade that that was her luck and that's how Allah wanted it to be. Zoraide assures Jade that Jade will be very happy with Zein, upon which Jade tells Zoraide that she's marrying Zein strictly to get away from the shadow.
Edna once again tells Leo that Albieri mustn't know about their arrangement as she hands him his paid ticket to Morocco and some spending money. Leo asks Edna not to tell Deusa because she'll try to stop him from going. Edna tells Leo that he's staying for 20 days and then he'll return, but Leo tells her he doesn't know if he wants to return because people here think he's a clone. Edna tells Leo that it's only the people who know Lucas, whom he surely met when he went to Leonidas' house. Leo tells Edna that he hadn't met Lucas yet because Luca wasn't home when he went to Leonidas' house and adds that he's not even sure he wants to meet him and sees himself as a 40-year-old man. Edna tells Leo that she too wonders if she were 20 years old how she would feel looking at herself at her age today. Leo again mentions to Edna that he prefers not to see Lucas. Lucas tells Tavinho that he hasn't the least bit of interest or any intention of meeting Leo. Lobato talks about looking at a photo of himself from the 70's and being taken aback by seeing himself with his Afro hairstyle, bell bottom pants and platform shoes and laughs as he thinks that that's how people saw him back then in his hippie days. Lucas angrily tells Lobato that Albieri had no right to make a copy of him without his consent and accuses Leonidas of trying to substitute him with a younger version against his will.
Leo tells Edna that he would always feel like a copy if he were next to Lucas, and he doesn't want to feel that way; he wants to feel like himself. Edna doesn't know how to respond to Leo and simply says that she doesn't know what to say. Leo asks Edna what Lucas if Lucas is intelligent and able, which Edna confirms. Leo asks Edna to tell him what Lucas is good at, and Edna asks him why he wants to know everything about Lucas. Leo answers that he thinks that if he knows Lucas, he'll be able to understand and know himself better. Leonidas shows Yvete a newspaper article about the Italian doctor Antinori who claimed to have created a clone and tells her that Albieri already created a clone 20 years ago. Yvete asks about Antinori's clone, and Leonidas tells her that it hasn't been born yet. Yvete is highly skeptical of the whole clone story and tells Leonidas that she doesn't believe a word he's saying. Yvete questions Leonidas about the money for the new shoes and matching handbag he said he'd give her and also informs him that he'll have to pay for her advice if he continues to use her as his analyst.
Odete and Creuza walk by on their way to the beach at Ramos and trade their usual barbs with Raposão and Ligeiro. When they get to the beach, Odete interrupts a photo shoot of a model and gets some photos take of herself and Creuza with the model. Doña Jura asks Basilio to tell her who saw Tião riding with Raposão and Ligeiro in the message mobile. Basilio doesn't tell but does say that Edvaldo was also with them, that they were all wearing bathing suits, and that Tião was carrying a beach umbrella. Doña Jura slaps Basilio's arm and forces him to divulge that they had gone to the beach at Ramos. Doña Jura has Aninha call a taxi for her and goes off to the beach to find Tião. Doña Jura catches Tião looking at some pretty girls, who he swears are his cousins, and pushes him into the water, throwing a pair of shoes at him to punctuate her rage.
Xande sits on the beach with Beta and tells her that he won't call Mel because she'll think that he's weakened his position. Beta agrees, but Xande admits he wants to know how Mel is. Beta tells him that having someone else call for him was tantamount to his having called. Xande tells Beta that even though he wanted so badly to get into the university, now that he's in, he's lost interest. Xande questions why life makes you lose one thing to obtain another.
Mel looks at photos of herself and Xande before she started messing with drugs and tells herself that she's not going to lose Xande. Mel goes downstairs and says to Lucas and Maysa, "I need help."

She is not to tell anybody. Ali, Jade and Zoraide don't understand why they haven't heard from Zein. In Brazil, Zein is waiting for an answer from Jade. Leo decides to "escape" from his house at night and stops by the dance hall first to embrace Deusa. Mel tells her family she wants to see Xande, has the chauffeur drop her off elsewhere and tells Reginha she needs one more line of cocaine before she goes into a clinic. Edna visits Padre Mateoli, tells him that she sent Leo away, just for 20 odd days, to give Albieri time to prepare. She swears she didn't do it to hurt Leo. Lucas goes to the disco and drags Mel out of there. On the way home, he blames her for ruining his life.
RECAP: MON 10/7 (Chapter 189) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-08-02 07:07 PDT
Mel says she wants to quit doing drugs and that she wants Lucas and Maysa to take her to a rehab clinic. Lucas asks Dalva to call Lobato so that he can tell them where to take Mel. Mel tearfully tells Maysa that she wants her life back, that she wants to return to college, to be with Xande, to live with him and have his children and have her own home. Lucas encourages Mel to call Xande to tell him the good news. Lobato tells Clarice that Mel asked for help, and Clarice is glad because of her experience with Nando. Lobato questions whether Nando really left the drug life behind because he thought Nando was in too deep to quit just like that, but Clarice assures him that Nando is doing just fine and had even returned to the band. Escobar buys Alicinha a new, large-screen television, and she's thrilled but now wants a stereo. Escobar brings up the power of attorney, and Alicinha talks him out of putting the apartment in Nando's name by convincing him that if Nando got messed up with drugs while he was living with Clarice, he'd really go off the deep end if he had his own place. Escobar agrees and says he'll wait until Nando has proven himself to be responsible and drug free. Noemia finds it strange that Tavinho doesn't look at nor talk to Karla when he sees her. Karla tells Noemia they're just giving each other some breathing room. Mel wants to give Xande the good news in person and has the chauffeur drive her to see Xande. Mel sees Regininha and asks the chauffeur to pull over and let her out. Mel tells Regininha that she's entering rehab but wants one last line of coke.
Ranya and Amina fuss over Munir, but Khadija thinks he looks like a wrinkled old man. Said consoles Khadija by telling her that in two weeks he's going to Fez and will return with Jade but cautions Khadija to keep it a secret. Khadija happily tells Said that now Jade will give him a son too. Ali thinks it's odd that Zein hasn't called, but then figures that Zein has removed himself so far from the customs that he no longer understands what Zein does. Ali mentions that tomorrow is Munir's purification celebration, and Jade walks away. Zoraide remarks to Ali that Jade gets sad when she hears about Munir. Zein tells Roger that Jade's silence is her answer and much as he lover her, he doesn't want her to feel obligated to stay by his side. Deusa is happy because she's been selected to do a samba show at the dance hall, which might even be televised. Lobato is about to give Lucas and Maysa the names of some rehab clinics, when the chauffeur shows up grim-faced and reports Mel's disappearance. Albieri expresses his anguish over not being able to publicly declare his successful cloning of Leo because he knows that he couldn't face the criticism that Antinori is now getting. Edna, thinking that Albieri would be less upset if he knew that Leo was out of the picture for now, confesses that she arranged for Leo to go on a tour to Morocco. Albieri gets even more agitated and rushes out to Deusa's house to stop Leo from going. Leo packs his things and tells himself that he's not going to wait for tomorrow; he'll leave today before they discover that he's going away. Leo tiptoes downstairs, kisses a sleeping Doña Mocinha goodbye, and leaves.
Edna goes to see Father Mattioli and he asks her what Albieri did now. Edna tells him it wasn't Albieri this time, it was her. Deusa showcases her dancing skills at the dance hall, and Leo shows up and smiles happily as he watches her. Albieri tells Tia Lula and Doña Mocinha that Leo is on the verge of fleeing to the desert, and they let him go upstairs to Leo's room. Albieri sees a note that Leo taped to the mirror which says that he'll be back later. Leo blows Deusa a kiss and she continues to dance. When she finishes, she walks over to him and gives him a hug. Leo tells Deusa that he missed her but then walks off and leaves her as Deusa turns around to accepts some well wishes from some patrons of the dance hall. Leo holds the jade stone to his lips and kisses it as he tells himself that he's going to find Jade.
Edna tries to assure Father Mattioli that Leo will be back in 20 days, but Father Mattioli accuses her of not wanting Leo to return so that she could free herself of him. Father Mattioli adds that Edna subconsciously wishes Leo didn't exist. Edna swears that she harbors no negative feelings towards Leo and did not send him away to get rid of him but merely to protect Albieri. Father Mattioli responds that, however well-intentioned Albieri might have been when he created Leo, Albieri still committed an error and had to be held accountable for that error. Edna tearfully pleads that Albieri's professional life can't be put to a test merely by one error, but Father Mattioli emphasizes the gravity of the error because it affected so many lives, chiefly Leo, Deusa, Leonidas and Lucas, whose lives have been devastated by Albieri's error. Edna doesn't want to hear it and tells Father Mattioli that she won't be the one to judge Albieri and that if he's to be condemned, it won't be by her. Edna further adds that if Albieri were to be massacred by others, he wouldn't be able to take it and would kill himself. Father Mattioli tells Edna that she wants him to try to tell Albieri that he did nothing wrong and that everything is okay, but that even as his friend, he can't do that. Edna tearfully tells Father Mattioli that the first stone that's cast always comes from the least expected source as she gets up and leaves.
Deusa tells Laurinda that she felt a strange sensation that something was about to happen because of the way Leo hugged her. Deusa rushes downstairs, and the doorman tells her that Leo had left with his backpack. Albieri tells Doña Mocinha and Tia Lula that he'll get Leo back even if he has to go to Morocco to get him. Clarice gets ready for a night out with Roger, who looks on approvingly as she finishes her makeup and tells him that she's already looking at some brochures of Paris. Dalva calls and asks to speak to Nando, and Clarice tells her that Nando's rehearsing with his band but she'll try to get a hold of him. Clarice goes to put on her watch, but sees that it's missing. Roger can't get a hold of Nando for Clarice because his cellphone is out of range so Clarice calls another band member, Marcelino, who tells her that Nando is not rehearsing with the band. Nando, Regininha, and Mel are dancing wildly at a club, obviously after having taken drugs.
Xande tells Doña Jura that he's feeling down because he wasn't able to share his good news with Mel. Doña Jura tries to find out why Mel wasn't there for Xande the day that he passed his entrance exam for the university, but Xande is vague and just says that he and Mel had a little falling out. Doña Jura tells Xande that he's better off alone than unhappy with Mel, and he agrees. Doña Jura adds that if Mel really loved him, she'd know that she had lost him and would feel shame and return; and that if she didn't, Xande has to accept that that's the road Mel chose for herself. Basilio comes storming in to tell Doña Jura that Raposão and Ligeiro had shown up at the bar, and she leaves with them. Xande calls Dalva and asks for Mel. Dalva tells Xande that Mel is not there and asks him for places where she might have gone. When she can't understand the names of the places, she puts Lucas on the phone. Maysa tells Dalva that she can't get out of her mind the image of Mel coming down from the hill after Xande paid her drug debt and that she's having nightmares of all sorts of horrible things happening to Mel. Maysa adds that now when she sees Mel, she doesn't know her anymore because the daughter that she knew had died. Lucas leaves with a list of bars that Xande told him Mel liked to frequent with Regininha.
Mel is still dancing away wildly at the bar when Lucas sees her. Lucas goes over, grabs her away from the dance floor, and drags her outside the club. Mel demands to be let go and tells Lucas to respect her and that he has no right to come after her. Lucas angrily tells her she has no right to do what she did, and Mel insists she has the right to live her life. Mel threatens to call the police, and Lucas tells her to go ahead and yells at her that he's lost his patience with her. Mel gets in the car and as they drive off continues shouting at Lucas that he has no right to control her life. Lucas shouts back that he's her father, and Mel responds that when she needed him to be a father, he wasn't around. Lucas tells her that he's never failed her and had put his life on hold to go looking for her all drugged up at some club. Mel gives him her usual response that if she's a drug addict, he's one too because he goes out drinking with his friends. Lucas responds that he doesn't have his whole life ahead of him like she does and that he has sacrificed a lot to be by her side. Mel snidely remarks, "Like your Moroccan lover?" and Lucas responds that to Mel that may not be important, but to him it is because it's his life. Doña Jura tells Raposão and Ligeiro to get out of the bar because their credit is no good and accuses them of having invited Tião to go to the beach at Ramos with them.
Lucas brings Mel home and is still physically restraining her. Lucas accuses Mel of wanting to turn the house into a damn asylum, and she shouts at him to let her go. Lucas yells back, "Enough already," and gives Mel a smack across the face. Maysa and Dalva look on aghast.

Mel runs upstairs. Dalva tells Lucas that he had never raised his hand to Mel before. Dalva goes upstairs and knocks frantically for Mel to open the door. Lucas' voice breaks as he tells Maysa that he can't take it any more, not knowing from day to day what's going to happen with Mel, worrying whether she'll be arrested or worse yet find her dead. Maysa takes him by the shoulders and says she understands him as she sobs in his arms. Maysa tells Dalva to let the guards know that under no circumstances are they to let Mel leave home. Lucas says he'll sleep on the living room couch because he's a light sleeper and will wake up at the slightest noise. Lucas takes Maysa's hand and tells her that they must be firm now, much as it might hurt. Albieri is frantic about Leo, and Edna can't calm him because she left all the details about Leo's flight at the clinic. Albieri insists they go to the clinic to get them and they do. Edna notes Albieri's edginess and tells herself that he never would have made the decision she made but justifies her actions by adding that Albieri did want Leo to disappear for awhile. Edna finds a list of more than 20 travel agencies she had compiled but can't remember which one she used. Edna offers to call each one of them first thing in the morning, but Albieri fears that tomorrow might be too late. Meanwhile, Leo sleeps outdoor by a fountain.
Ali rides a camel in the desert and talks about children not really belonging to us to do with what we want because they are a gift from Allah and have a right to their own autonomy. Ali returns home and quotes some words from Khalil Gibran to the children likening the parent/child relationship to one of a bow and arrow where the parent is the bow and the child is the arrow that is launched by the bow and guided to its own destination away from the bow. Ali tells Jade that if he had been in Rio for Munir's celebration, he would have recited those same words. Said is on horseback, with one arm cradling Munir and the other holding the reigns, as he makes his grand entrance before the invited guests. Mohamed points out to Amim that he too rode a horse with Amim in his arms when Amim had been born. Noemia, looking quite lovely in her veil, asks Mustafá about the horse; and he explains to her that it's done for the father to show pride in having been blessed with a son. Nazira makes a caustic, and uncalled-for remark to Latiffa, about the birth of a boy being much more significant than that of a girl and adds that she hopes that when Munir grows up, he won't be a mat for some "oldalisca" to step all over like his father had been. Khadija wanders off and sits alone looking quite sad. Noemia remarks to Nazira that Munir is bald, and Nazira explains to her that the baby was born with a full head of hair which, as custom dictates, is shaved and then weighed to determine its value in gold, which is given to the poor as a gift to celebrate the parent's good fortune.
Duda tells Khadija, Samira, and Amim that when he gets married, his wife will have to work because he shouldn't be the only one working. Samira agrees and says that she wants to work just like her husband does, but Amim is not in favor of his wife working. Khadija, of course, can't fathom the idea that a man wouldn't be able to financially support his family on his own. Noemia asks Mohamed for some help in getting Munir a gift and suggests that he might help her pick out a gold chain. Mohamed explains to her that in their religion, men don't wear gold or silk because these are reserved for women, and suggests that she consider silver which is sturdier, unlike the delicate gold, and is worn by men, pointing to a ring that he's wearing to emphasize his point. Noemia notes that only Said is carrying the baby and Mohamed explains to her that a woman could be considered to be exhibitionist if she were to be showing off her baby like that. The purification ceremony begins and Mohamed translates the sheik's words for Noemia.
Leonidas goes in to talk to Mel, mentions last night's scandal, and gently tells her that things are not going well in her life. Leonidas offers Mel a job in his office in a well-intentioned but misguided attempt to help Mel get her life back together and asks her to think it over as Mel lays there lost in inner space barely making a sound. Leonidas tells Maysa and Lucas that he thinks that Mel was receptive to him and was fully aware of what she did last night and had felt guilty about it. Leonidas also tells Lucas that he went overboard in hitting Mel last night, and Lucas defends himself by saying that Mel put him over the edge. Leonidas thinks that Mel will accept his job offer because it's the incentive that she needs to get herself straightened out, literally and figuratively, but Maysa has her doubts. Pitoco asks Miro about Alicinha, and Miro tells him that Alicinha has an uncle visiting with her and had asked Miro not to go over to the house while the uncle was there because the uncle was difficult to deal with. Pitoco is surprised that Alicinha has any relatives because he thought she was all alone in the world. Cecéu and Amalia hold hands on the beach, and Telminha sits with them. Pitoco and Miro greet them as they walk by. Cecéu tells Telminha that she should go after Miro, and Telminha responds that Miro already has a girlfriend. Cecéu doesn't think that should be an obstacle and gives Amalia a kiss after he remarks that Amalia too had a boyfriend and that hadn't stopped him. Amalia then asks Telminha if she likes Miro, and Telminha admits that she does but says they're just friends and things would never go any further than that. Amalia tells her not to be too sure of that.
Odete tells Karla that Creuza wanted to leave her job before the bomb exploded over at Tavinho's house but then adds that she talked her out of it because she and Karla need her to stay put so that she can give them a firsthand report after Karla gives birth. Lidiane asks Creuza why she no longer cleans up Lidiane's room when she had insisted so much on doing it initially, and Creuza tells her that she doesn't have enough time to do it. Creuza asks Lidiane why she's asking about it, and Lidiane tells her it's nothing; she simply wanted to know. Alicinha meets with Miro and tells him that her uncle will be with her for another month and adds that she hasn't told her uncle about Miro because the uncle would have a fit. Miro buys into the story and assures Alicinha that they can still meet at his place. Alicinha and Miro kiss, which Telminha sees and reacts to by hurriedly rushing out of the place with her friend.
Simone tells Julio that she wants him to testify on her behalf in her complaint against Albieri, even after Julio tells her that he prefers to stay on the sidelines because he thinks Albieri has enough people judging him without his adding to the fire. Zoraide encourages Jade to call Zein, which she does. Zein and Beta share a glass of wine, and Zein eloquently tells her that, in his land, music is said to be the wine of the heart because it teaches us to see with our ears and hear with our hearts. At Zein's request, Beta answers the phone when Jade calls and identifies herself as Zein's girlfriend when Jade asks. Jade quickly hangs up, and Beta tells Zein that it was a wrong number. Jade laments her sad luck at losing Zein and everything else because of Lucas as she seeks her customary comfort in Zoraide's arms. Leo continues to wander the streets of Rio. Deusa tells Laurinda and Yvete that Leo went off to Morocco and suspects that it was Albieri who gave him the money to go. Yvete calls Leonidas to tell him that Leo disappeared, and Leonidas says he'll be right over. Leo stands outside the gate to the Ferraz house as Mel tries to escape. Mel sees him and they stare at each other wordlessly as the guard stands by the gate.
Dalva discovers that Mel is not in her room and calls Maysa who then asks Michele to call the guards. Dalva and Maysa go outside and see Mel. Dalva struggles with Mel, who's screaming for Dalva to let her go. Maysa yells for Michele to call Lucas. Leo turns around and starts to leave. The guard struggles with Mel, and Lucas comes out and orders the guard to let her leave. Mel runs out the gate, bumps into Leo, turns around to look at him, but keeps on running. Leo tells himself that all he wanted to do was to say goodbye to Dalva. Maysa remarks that Mel was out of control, and Lucas responds that they too had lost control over the situation. Maysa blames Lucas for allowing Mel to leave and berates him for giving in to Mel. Lucas declares that Mel was going to leave one way or the other and that he couldn't very well keep her locked up in her room. Maysa cries that he could at least have sent the guard after her, but Lucas is at the end of his rope and screams that he can't live like that any more. Maysa and Dalva break into tears. Mel tells Regininha that she can't take her family any more, and Regininha tells her it's the same with her family. Mel wants a line of coke, but Regininha points out that they have no money to pay for it.
Leonidas tells Deusa and Yvete that Clarice will take care of finding out all the flights that depart for Morocco and assures them that he won't let Leo escape from him. Yvete goes to call Edna to see if she has any news of Leo, and Deusa argues with Leonidas over who has rights to Leo. Leonidas agrees that they were both duped by Albieri, but insists that Leonidas is his son nonetheless. Deusa furiously tells him that a judge will decide that and leaves in a huff. Leonidas tells Yvete that he already lost his son once and wasn't about to lose him again because of Deusa. Edna tells Albieri that Leo had already left for Morocco, and Albieri shouldn't worry because Leo was in good hands with the tour group. Albieri tells Edna that he'll never forgive her for putting Leo in harm's way. Edna can't understand why Albieri is worried about Leo's safety when Albieri's world was about to collapse around him, and Albieri tells her that he's surprised at how forceful Edna had become and had, in fact, reacted with much more certainty and assuredness that he himself had. Edna once again tells Albieri that she did it to protect him and goes out to her desk where she removes a business card from her handbag. Albieri thinks to himself that nothing will stop Edna, not even moral considerations. Edna speaks to the tour guide who tells her that Leo hadn't shown up yet. Edna assures him that they'll meet him at the airport as they had arranged.
Clarice tells Carol that it was all a sham; Nando never returned to the band and had been taking things from the house, including her expensive watch, and that she had no idea where he was now. Clarice also tells Carol that she broke off her date with Roger because of Nando's situation and that, given the circumstances, she can't even imagine going off to Paris with Roger now. Leonidas gazes at a photo of Diogo as he waits for Tavinho to report to his office. When Tavinho comes in, Leonidas tells him that he's ready to go to court. Lobato points out to Tavinho that since Leo is no longer a minor, Leo's the one they have to contact, not Deusa, in Leonidas' paternity suit. Tião tries to win over Doña Jura and succeeds when he shows her a tee-shirt he's wearing with her name on it. Mel returns to the house, flings her backpack on the floor, and runs upstairs to her room. Dalva, Maysa and Lucas run after her. Lucas locks Mel in her room as Mel frantically bangs on the door for them to let her out. Lucas yells back that she's leaving that room only when she's well. Maysa cries and covers her ears to deafen Mel's screams. Dalva sobs quietly. Inside, Mel finally stops yelling but is now panting like a caged animal.
Brazil, 30/04 - Capítulo 182 Os dois se olham com fascínio. Lucas inveja a juventude de Leo. Leo rejeita a maturidade de Lucas e vai embora correndo. Tavinho sugere que Lobato assine com ele a ação, mas ele rejeita. Lucas olha as suas fotos com 20 anos. Clarice se irrita ao ver Nando e Regininha dormindo na sua cama. Júlio comunica que Simone vai indicá-lo como testemunha. Edna pede que Simone reconsidere a sua decisão. Lucas reage ao saber que Leo foi para o Marrocos. Leo passeia na Medina. Abdul pensa ser Lucas e conta para Ali. Jade se inquieta ao saber que ele voltou. Said viaja. Khadija conta em segredo para Samira que sua mãe vai voltar.

Said gets ready to go to Morocco, tells Kadija he will bring back her mother, but it is a secret. Lucas and Leo finally confront each other and talk. Leo tells him "you aren't me". Lucas, angry and upset, tells Leo that he will end up just like him, a failure. Leo runs out of the house. Teviño and Lobato put the final touches on the legal document; Teviño says he would feel better if Lobato also signed but Lobato refuses, says he doesn't want people to think how generous Teviño was to let Lobato, the addict, take partial credit for work he didn't do.
RECAP: WED 10/9 (Chapter 191) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-10-02 12:03 PDT
The soccer match begins, and the Brazilian women, in their blue shirts and white shorts, square off against the Arab women, in their long nun-like garb. Khadija scores the first goal for the Arab team. Mustafá rushes onto the playing field to try to remove Noemia from the Brazilian team, but he's the one who's ousted as the referee comes over to eject him from the field. Doña Jura, the goal tender for the Brazilians, successful blocks a couple of goal attempts. Tião successfully polishes off some empanadas. Edvaldo rushes out to see what's wrong with Noemia, who's lying on her back on the playing field; but she tells him she's okay; once again Mustafá, who also rushed out, is forcibly removed from the field.
Ranya rushes out to get Said so that he can see the baby smiling, but Said is in a pensive mood and tells her that he's been thinking that he should go to Morocco. Ranya reminds him that he had said that he didn't need to go to Morocco so soon, and Said admits he did say that but then repeats that he should go. Ranya tells Amina that Said was going after Jade and that she wasn't going to let him, adding that if Said was going, she'd go with him because no way was she going to let Said be alone with Jade. Jade is happy to hear from Zoraide that Said called Ali to say that he was coming to Fez. Jade asks Ali if Said was coming for her, and Ali says he doesn't know but that she should consider it as an opportunity. Jade assures Ali that she wants to be by Said's side so that she can be close to Khadija.
Latiffa scores a goal as does another Arab woman. Doña Jura walks over to the side lines and gives Tião a whack in the behind with his own flag pennant to keep him focused on the game. Creuza scores a goal for the Brazilians, and Doña Jura goes to give her a hug, as does Tião, who gets beaten back by Doña Jura. Noemia scores a goal for the Brazilians. Yvete proudly talks about her parade of mothers and daughters as she tells Laurinda and Soninha that Chuvas was going to invite a celebrity, Luisa Burnet, to participate in the parade. Leonidas calls Yvete and tells her that Leo isn't on any of the tours to Morocco and says that someone is hiding Leo from him and Albieri is surely involved. Yvete suggests that if Leo doesn't appear, they can go to Morocco to look for him after they get married. Leonidas says he's not going to get married until Leo's situation is resolved, but Yvete won't let him slip away so easily and reminds him that she's not waiting another 20 years to get married and he knows full well that he set the wedding date for her birthday, which is at the beginning of the month.
Mel paces in her room and starts to pick up and hurl several objects every which way. Mel starts to bang on the door, demanding to be released from the room. Dalva pleads with her to keep calm. Mel yells that she'll die if she can't have some coke, and Dalva goes downstairs in tears as Mel continues to bang away at the door, screaming for Dalva to let her out. Dalva asks Lucas if she can call a priest because Mel seems to be possessed by an evil spirit, and Lucas calmly tells her to let Mel ride it out because Lobato had said that Mel would react like that and might even do worse things yet. Dalva turns around to go back upstairs, but Lucas tells her to let Mel rant, and they'll see who tires first. Maysa holds her hands over her ears in an effort to drown out Mel's wails. Mel shouts that they don't understand that she needs to have a line of coke.
Leo calls someone, probably the tour guide, to say that he won't be stopping by but that he would be going directly to the airport after he says goodbye to Dalva. Mel trashes her room as Dalva frantically pounds on the door and asks Mel to open the door. Mel goes back to pounding the door and screaming for Dalva at the top of her lungs. Dalva calls down to Lucas and tells him that Mel is trashing everything. Lucas runs upstairs, with Maysa trailing behind, as Mel shouts that they don't understand that she's going to die. Lobato tells his analyst that he, unlike other addicts, was never able to free himself of the memories of all the humiliating or shameful acts that he had committed, and that he can't find a way to live with those persistent memories. Maysa pleads with Mel to stop for the love of God and cringes as she hears a window break as Mel flings a ceramic vase out the window. Lucas tells Mel to stop it already or he'll call an ambulance to have her taken away. Mel rips open a large teddy bear and the stuffing goes flying all over the room as Mel screams that she swears that she's going to kill herself. Mel picks up a lamp and hurls it through the window, breaking the glass on impact. Maysa and Dalva continue to sob as Lucas declares that he's gong to call an ambulance and goes downstairs to do so. Mel finally stops and collapses on the floor, sobbing again that she'll kill herself right there and then. Maysa and Dalva go downstairs, where Lucas is already on the phone calling the ambulance. Dalva suggests they call Leonidas, but Lucas firmly tells her that she's to call no one. Maysa cries and Lucas tries to comfort her by taking her in his arms.
Xande tells Doña Jura that he's going to the apartment to get some CD's, and she tells him to bring his college books with him so that he doesn't have to keep on going back and forth for them. Doña Jura also suggests he bring back the chair she had lent them because it didn't look like he was going to be returning to the apartment again. Xande returns to the apartment and finds that everything is gone; the place is down to bare walls, the built-in bookcase, and the kitchen sink are all that's standing; hopefully the bathroom fixtures survived as well. Mel continues to sob quietly on the floor. The ambulance shows up and Dalva takes the crew upstairs. Two of them carry Mel out as she kicks and screams for them to let her go and calls out for Dalva. Lucas flashes back to a scene with Mel as an infant being placed in his arms by Dalva. Mel screams out for Lucas and pleads for him to stop the ambulance crew from taking her. Lucas then flashes back to a scene with Mel as a toddler as she runs happily into his arms. Mel continues to struggle with the crew members, who are now three in number, begging them to let her go and telling them that she doesn't want to go. Maysa sits outside the house and sees the three men carrying Mel, who's still kicking and screaming. Mel asks Maysa to help her, and Maysa tearfully tells her that everything they do is for her own well-being. Mel continues to yell for Maysa to stop the ambulance crew from taking her away, and Maysa pleads with Mel to keep calm. Leo shows up just as Mel is being forced into the ambulance, still kicking and screaming for Maysa to help her. Lucas is inside the house and goes upstairs to join Dalva in Mel's completely trashed room. Lucas wipes a tear away and tells Dalva that it's unfair.
Maysa gets in the car and follows the ambulance, even after one of the paramedics tells her it's better for her not to go. Lucas continues to sob and say that it's unfair. Lucas looks at himself in a full-length mirror and says aloud that if he could, he'd erase everything he'd lived because he'd like to do everything differently. Leo walks in behind Lucas, and Lucas sees him in the mirror. Leo looks intently into the mirror at himself and Lucas. Lucas turns around to face Leo and starts to sob as he continues to stare at Leo. Leo turns and runs down the stairs, but Lucas calls out to him and Leo stops and turns to face him. Lucas flashes back to scenes of him and Diogo and slowly walks down the stairs and says, "Dear God, but you are very different from the way I was." Lucas reaches out and touches Leo's hair and says, "You are me. My image leapt out of the mirror and I'm having an out-of-body experience" Leo responds that they had told him that he would be the same as Lucas, but he isn't and tells Lucas that he's very different from him and emphatically asserts that they would never be the same, never. Lucas answers that if he could see himself at Leo's age, he would have said exactly the same thing and might have even given up on life. Leo remarks that he only came to say goodbye to Dalva and turns around to leave. Lucas takes him by the shoulders and tells him that he's not going anywhere. Leo shouts angrily at Lucas not to order him around because Lucas isn't him. Lucas chuckles and says, "Of course you're me." Leo smiles at Lucas.
Zoraide holds together the broken pieces of Jade's coffee cup and tells Jade that when the past and future cross, the forces are so strong that they can even affect the support beams that keep the sky from falling down. Zoraide adds that Allah created the present to serve as a barrier between the past and future so that they wouldn't cross and cautions Jade to be wary because she will be the mirror where her past and future will see each other. Jade tells Zoraide that every time she asks Zoraide to read her fortune, she gets more confused, and Zoraide tells Jade that she won't read her fortune again because every time she does so, Jade gets sad. Lucas again tells Leo, "You are me; yes you are" and asks him if he knows how he was created. Leo angrily answers that he's neither a clone nor a robot, that he's a person. Lucas yells back that Leo will end up just like him, full of wrinkles and with gray hair. Leo sighs and Lucas continues by telling Leo that he too will get tired of people. Leo responds that it's a lie, and Lucas shouts that that people will tire of him too because he's a failure and taunts him by asking him if he thinks that he owns the world because he's 20 years old, and if he thinks that he can do everything. Leo smiles and tells Lucas that he (Lucas) has gone mad. Lucas screams at Leo to take a look at him in the mirror to see where he would end up, and says, "like this", alluding to his failed life. Leo turns and runs off, with Lucas briefly giving chase and yelling for him to wait up, but to no avail as Leo keeps running.
Xande takes Miro to see what's left of the apartment and tells him that the doorman let the moving men take everything because Mel was with them. Xande laments the loss of his college books that he was paying off monthly and his CD's. Miro points out that the furniture belonged to the owner of the apartment and tells Xande to go get the money from Mel's family to pay it back. Xande asks aloud why he hadn't thought to remove his things and give the owner back his apartment and wonders how he's even going to tell Doña Jura that her new chair was gone. Miro suggests they go right over to Mel's to confront her. Mel rides quietly on a gurney as she's wheeled into the hospital. Maysa sobs as she watches her. Telminha gets a call, probably from Xande, telling her that Mel emptied out the apartment and sold everything, and lets Cecéu and Lidiane know since they're right there overhearing her end of the conversation. Lobato and Tavinho are finishing up the paperwork for Leonidas' paternity case when Lidiane calls with her usual checking-in nonsense. Lobato helps himself to a swig from his pocket flask as he waits for Tavinho to get off the phone. Tavinho mentions to Lobato that Carol told him that he had put a deposit on an apartment, and Lobato acknowledges it and says he's reconstructing his life. Tavinho wants Lobato to co-sign the legal papers that he helped him prepare, but Lobato takes it as a show of pity and tells Tavinho that he's okay with Tavinho's signing the papers on his own. As Lobato starts talking about not being able to give anybody any guarantees that he won't have a relapse and not faulting others for having their doubts about him, Tavinho mutters to himself that there goes Lobato again with his one-man pity party. Tavinho gets up to leave, thanking Lobato for his help. Lobato helps himself to a good size swig after Tavinho leaves. Lucas affixes photos of Diogo, or perhaps of himself as a young man, to a mirror and Dalva asks him what he's doing. Lucas responds, "I've just seen the clone."

RE: Resumen
de 10/9 Author: Nikolas (---) Date: 10-10-02 00:15 PDT
El juego de
soccer va a todo queda. Ambos equipos tratando de ganar. En casa de Said, Ranya
se queja con Amina, que los brasileños se creen mejor porque tienen a Pele en
su equipo Ranya comenta lo bello que es Munir. Cuando ella va a la sala para
informarle a Said que vaya a la alcoba, porque Munir sonrio, el se queda
pensativo, contestando que despues ira. Cuando Ranya le dice que es su primera
sonrisa, Said le pide que se vaya. Al regresar a la alcoba, Ranta se desahoga
con Amina, revelando que en los ojos de Said no ha dejado de pensar en Jade. Y
que si el va a Fes, ella ira tambien. Ranya añade que ella teme que su marido
traiga a Jade otra vez a casa. Amina le aconseja que tiene que ver que no
occura.
En Fes, una
mujer marroqui canta arabe en el fondo. Durante esa escena, Zoraide le cuenta a
Jade que en unos dias Said estara en Fes. Ella suspira, y le dice que Said a lo
mejor decidio regresar para reunirla con Kadija. Cuando ella va a Ali,
contento, responde, que Zoraide debio haberle dicho la buena noticia. Ali le
explica con lujos de detalle, "Puede ser que Allah haya puesto a Said para
otra oportunidad. Jade, contenta, exclama, "Ishala!"
Yvete esta
hablando con Laurinda y Sonina sobre el desfile de madre e hija, la cual hiba a
ser originalmente, padre e hija. Yvete esta contenta porque pudo conseguir a
Luisa Brunet, como artista para atraer mas gente. Leonidas llama a Yvete
contandole que la boda tendra que ser aplazado hasta que el encuentre a Leo. Yvete
le contesta enfogonadamente, que no va a esperar 20 años mas. Ya el decidio una
fecha, y esa sera el dia en la cual se casen. Ningunos pero que valgan! Leonidas
trata de explicar, sin ningun exito, como Yvete es la que tiene monopolia de la
conversacion. Pero Leonidas le llega a decir, que Clarisse llamo todas las
lineas aereas, sin saber nada. E incluso llega a concluir que Albieri, Edna o
alguien le ha mentido sobre el paradero de Leo.
Mel se ve que
esta desbaratando medio mundo en su alcoba, gritando. Dalvita, sollando, en el
otro lado de su puerta le pide que se calme. Dalvita , preocupada,
sollozamente dice, "Misericordia, se va a morir"! Lobato con su analista
le dice que es humillante porque usando drogas es como si nunca habia existido.
Y aprendes a vivir con remoldimientos. Mel por otro lado, aun grita, "Me
mato!" "Me mato ahora!" Dalvita cree que Mel tiene un mal
espiritu, y desea llamar a Lobato. Ella llama a Lucas. El se rehusa que Dalvita
llame a Lobato explicando que Lobato le dijo esa actitud pasara y que llamen a
una ambulancia. Lucas esta en el telefono queriendo saber cuanto tiempo se
tardara la ambulancia. Mel se ve exhausta en su cama.
Xande va a
ver a su mama en el bar, y le dice que va a recoger sus cd's y chavo para los
libros de la facultad. Jurita le pide que traiga las sillas nueva, ahora qe no
lo va a necesitar. Ella agrega, que ahora que entra a la facultad, se olvidara
de Mel, y se encuentre una muchacha de su nivel, tambien se ponga a concentrar.
Al llegar Xande a la casa que compartia con Mel, se encuentra en shock a ver
que ha desaparecido todo. En la proxima escena, Xande entra con Miro ambos
estan sin el habla de lo occurido. Miro le explica a Xande que alguien vio a
Mel con hombres de mudanzas. Xande se reprocha a el mismo, no haber sacado todo
lo valioso antes. Cuando Xande le dice a Miro que tendra que pagar otra vez
todo, Miro le recuerda que Mel vendio todo para comprar drogas. El tendra que
ir a la familia Ferraz a pedir cuentas con la cabeza en alto, porque despues de
todo los padres de Mel le deben los chavos para reemplasar lo que su hija robo.
Los
paramedicos llegan, y Lucas le pide a Dalvita que escorte los hombre para la
alcoba de Mel. Dalvita, angustiadamente, llora y dice, "Dios santos, que
es esto?," Al entrar a la alcoba de Mel, los hombres y Dalva, la
encuentran acostada en el suelo. Cuando los dos pramedicos la recogen, ella
emprieza con un alarido, despues llama a su mama repetidamente. En ese momento,
Lucas piensa, cuando Dalvita le entrego a Mel como recien nacida. Despues se ve
Mel como de 18 meses. Lucas, Dalvita y Maysa ven cuando sacan a Mel de la casa.
Uno de los paramedicos le dice a Mel, en voz gentil, "Te vamos a llevar a
un buen lugar". En todo este burujeo, esta Leo en el porton, mirando que
occure. El entonces se me a la casa sin nadie darse cuenta. Maysa insiste ir
con Mel, pero el paramedico le explica que no benificiara a su hija. Mel
insiste, y se monta en su auto, para seguir la ambulancia. Lucas esta adentro
de su alcoba, recordando a Diogo y las las cosas que hacian. En ese momento, se
para en frente de un espejo deseando que su imagen mas joven pudiera salir de
ese espejo. El tendria la oportunidad de cambiar muchas cosas en su vida. En
ese momento, lentamente, Leo mete la gaita y lo ve. Eso es cuando Leo se acerca
mas parandose detras de Lucas. Lucas se queda mirando a Leo por unos 20
segundos, (mas o menos). Eso es cuando Lucas se voltea y ve a Leo, con lagrimas
y le da una sonrisa, nerviosa. Leo mira a Lucas con pavor y le da el tick,
inclinando su cabeza a un lado. Lucas llama a Leo, Diogo. Esto hace que Leo
corra bajando las escaleras. Lucas va tras el, pidiendo que no se vaya. Cuando
ambos ya estan en la sala, Lucas le toca la mejilla a Leo, explicando que Leo
es el clon de el (Lucas.) Leo niega que lo es, pero Lucas insiste que si. Cuando
Leo dice que nunca sera Lucas, el procede decirle, la manera que fue creado. Que
el hecho que tenga 20 años no quiere decir que se quedara haci para toda la
vida. Lucas le explica a Leo en voz brusca, que la gente no lo aceptaran
siempre. Y cuando dejen de verlo como lo que es, que pasara? E incluso le dice
a Leo que va a envejecer y tener canas y arrugas como el. Leo se enfogona le
grita a Lucas, no soy tu, y sale corriendo de la casa Ferraz.
En Fes,
Zoraide le dice a Jade quecuando el pasado se encuentre con el futuro, ella
sera el espejo. Zoraide dijo mas cosas, pero hablo rapido que no me acuerdo de
todos. Perdon a todos por darle resumen incompleto. Aleida es #1 en resumenes. Jade
quiere saber porque cuando le lee la suerte a otros, ella es especifica sin
enbargo con ella pone las palabras en maneras como si estuviera hablando a medias.
Zoraide contesta que ella ha tenido dificultades en estos 20 años, y la suerte
esta borrosa.
Casi se me
olvida contarles que Xande llamo a Telmiña y le conto lo del robo. Telmiña se
lo dice a su mama, la cual ella dice, lo que hizo Mel se llama robo, pero
Telmiña trata de defender a Mel explicandole a Lidiane que es el caracter. Las
drogas hacen que gente vayan a un extremo a cometer cosas que ellos por pudor,
o manera de haber sido criados, no cometan semejantes barbaridades. Lidiane le
dice a Telmiña, que si algo es tomado sin permiso de otra persona, es robo. Lidiane
llama a Taviño despues que casi se trepa encima de Telmiña para quitarle el
celular. Taviño le dice que esta con Lobato, y debe llegar a casa en una hora. Cuando
Lobato se entera que es Lidiane cpn quien Taviño esta hablando, el le pide que
le mande un beso a Lidiane. Taviño quiere que Lobato firme un tal contrato para
que ambos sean socios. Lobato, que no quiere caridad, le dice a Taviño que no
quiere ser humillado. Ya es suficiente que tenga un trabajo en la empresa de
Leonidas, por compasion. Lo ultimo que necesita es que la gente sientan que
hace el trabajo en la empresa, porque se lo dio Leonidas Ferraz. Ambos hombres
se dan la mano, y Taviño se va. Lobato entonces saca un frasco en donde se ve
que bebe de el.
Cuando Lucas
baja las escaleras y Dalvita las sube, el le dice a ella, "Yo vi el
clon!" Dalvita se queda espantada.
Los adelantos
para mañana se ve cuando Jade esta a flor de piel, Said llega a Marruecos y
Deusa le dice a Lucas que Leo es su pedazo de corazon. Estas son las palabras
del narador que dice que occurira mañana.

He leaves and tells Miro it isn't the moment to discuss money. Clarisse comes home from a date with Roger and after he leaves finds Nando and Reginha in her bed. She kicks them out, lets Reginha eat, has a screaming match with Nando. He finally admits that he stole her watch, that he had no other way to get the money he needed for drugs. Edna tries to convince Simone not to bring charges against Albieri, of caring more about principles than people. Simone can't believe what she is hearing because of Edna's long-time opposition to cloning. But Edna continues to defend Albieri. Lucas visits Deusa's home, learns that Leo has gone away, gets permission to see Leo's room. Elements in the room remind him of his youth; then he sees the veil and tells Deusa how he loved a woman in Morocco, a woman named Jade. This frightens Deusa more than anything he said or did before and asks him to leave. Lucas promises he won't let father get custody. In Morocco, Abdul sees Leo in the streets and tells Ali that Lucas has returned, looking much younger and happier. Ali realizes it must be Leo, but I'm not sure if Jade realizes that it is he, not Lucas, although she tells Zoraide she feels strange. Leo leaves the tour group and sees Abdul leaving Ali's house.
RECAP: THU 10/10 (Chapter 192) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-11-02 11:18 PDT
Dalva tells Lucas not to call Leo a clone because it makes it sound as if Leo's not a person. Lucas shows Dalva a photo of himself when he was around Leo's age and tells her that it was taken at a time in his life when he dreamed of becoming a great guitarist and that Ney Matogrosso and Maria Bethania would sing his songs. In another photo taken around the time that Lucas had met Jade, Lucas talks about feeling like Christopher Columbus as he discovered the throes of first love. Lucas sheds a tear as he tells Dalva that back then his world was complete. Lucas asks Dalva where he had lost his way and tells her that he feels so suffocated. Dalva gives Lucas one of her big heartfelt hugs, assuring him that she knows he's suffering a lot.
The doctor tells Maysa to go home because Mel will be sleeping for a while. When Maysa asks what comes next, the doctor informs her that the first course of action is to detoxify Mel. Xande shows up at the Ferraz house, and Dalva tells him that Mel was taken to the rehab clinic for admission but doesn't know where the clinic is. Xande goes out to the car to tell Miro, who thinks it's about time Mel's family did something. Miro asks Xande if he brought up the issue of the furniture, and Xande responds that he couldn't talk about the furniture after he heard about Mel. Leo boards a bus as he heads for the airport. Maysa stops and watches some mothers and their young toddlers in a playground. Maysa wipes away a tear away, placing her hands over her womb protectively as if wishing to wipe away all those years and once again hold Mel in the safety and security of her womb. Maysa returns home, and Leonidas gives her a hug and assures her that she did the right thing after she expresses guilt and uncertainly about forcing Mel into rehab. Dalva asks Maysa how long Mel will be gone, and Maysa tells her that the doctors aren't saying a whole lot other than that they have to run a battery of tests and that they have to detoxify Mel. Maysa asks about Lucas, and Dalva tells her that Lucas was up all night and had finally dropped off to sleep from sheer exhaustion this morning.
Clarice gets back to the apartment after a date with Roger and bubbles with enthusiasm as she tells him how much she needed a night out and asks him to tell her more about their trip to Paris. After they kiss each other goodbye, Clarice's happy mood quickly sours when she goes into her bedroom and finds Nando and Regininha sleeping, or most likely passed out, on her bed. Clarice gets livid and chews Nando out for bringing a stranger into the house and into her bed no less. Regininha has the audacity to ask Clarice if she has some coffee. Clarice grabs Regininha off the bed and then does the same to Nando. Nando pushes away the pillows on the living room couch and gets ready to curl up on the couch. Clarice lectures Nando about what he's doing with his life, and Nando tells her to stop yelling and let him sleep because he was up all night rehearsing. Clarice tells him that he's lying because she had spoken to Marcelino, another band member. Nando has a pillow pressed to his ears to drown out Clarice, but she grabs it away from him so that he can hear her loud and clear as she tells him that she's going to call Escobar. Clarice asks Regininha what she's doing there, wondering why she wasn't home with her family, and Regininha tells her she's an orphan. As Clarice continues to go off on Nando for having disappeared for two days and then returning to scare her like that, Regininha goes off to the kitchen in search of some butter and to make some coffee. Clarice holds her head in her hands in despair, knowing that Escobar won't be of any help.
Albieri talks to Julio about the bad press that Antinori is getting, and Julio gives him the bad news that Simone had asked him to testify before the Ethics Board. Edna tries to talk Simone out of bringing Albieri up before the Ethics board, and Simone tells her that she can't believe how Edna is now defending Albieri after having been so strongly opposed to Miss Brown's position favoring experiments involving cloning. Edna tells Simone that she'll always defend Albieri against anything or anyone, and Simone tells her to go ahead and defend Albieri, and she'll defend her principles. Doña Jura asks Xande about her missing chair and remarks that he came back empty-handed without so much as his CD's or books. Xande hesitantly tells her that he'll bring back the chair some other time. Amim sees Karla walk by with Odete and points out to Mohamed that Karla didn't get married and was having a baby. Mohamed tells Amim that Brazilians don't guide their lives by Allah's rules and are not afraid of burning in the fires of hell. Xande speaks to Dalva on the phone and asks her to find out where the clinic is because he wants to go see Mel.
Lucas goes to visit Deusa and asks for Leo. Deusa tells him that she thinks Leo went to Morocco. Lucas wonders what Leo wants in Morocco, and Deusa tells him she doesn't know why Leo is attracted to Morocco but he has been since he was a little boy. Lucas tells himself that he and Leo share the same attraction to Morocco. Deusa tells Lucas that Leo had visited Morocco with Albieri, which makes Lucas recall his trip to Morocco with Albieri. Doña Mocinha excuses herself and leaves after telling Lucas that she feels anguished when she looks at Lucas. Deusa says she too is a little nervous, and Lucas remarks to himself that they're looking at him as if he were a copy and wonders who this other Lucas is who has lived a life so different from his and how things might have turned out today if he had lived like that. Lucas asks to see Leo's room, and Deusa reluctantly agrees and goes upstairs with him. Lucas picks up a raggedy pair of jeans and Deusa remarks that those are Leo's favorite jeans. Lucas recalls Leonidas' harsh words criticizing him for bringing home a similar pair of jeans and ordering him to change his clothes. Lucas holds Leo's skateboard, and Deusa tells him that Leo's quite good at skateboarding, which triggers in Lucas' mind Dalva's words telling him to give her his skateboard and go out to play ball or anything else because skateboarding was too dangerous. Deusa mentions the paternity suit and tells Lucas that she too has a lawyer. Lucas assures Deusa that he's still opposed to his father's position and will go up against him in court. Lucas picks up a veil in Leo's room and asks Deusa if it was from Morocco. Deusa tells him that it was and that Leo loves it and even dreams of a woman with a veil whom he says he's going to marry, which brings a smile to Lucas' lips.
Leo tours the Medina with the tour group. Ali narrates to a group of children that when a child is 120 days old, Allah gives it a soul and determines how long a lifespan the child will have. Ali adds that a person's soul has just one life, and when it dies it stays dead until Judgment Day, when all the souls will be awakened by Allah and be judged before a tribunal. Jade tells Zoraide that she's afraid because she senses that someone is coming for her. Sumaya sees a pretty jingly ankle bracelet and wants Abdul to buy it for her as a gift, which he refuses to do because only exhibitionist women wear such things. Abdul sees Leo in the Medina and greets him, calling him Lucas. Leo waves and keeps on walking. Abdul and Sumaya go to Ali's house where Abdul tells Ali that he saw Lucas in the Medina. Jade and Ali exchange a puzzled look while Abdul babbles on about how Lucas looked so young and so happy. Sumaya asks Zoraide who Lucas is, and Zoraide tells her that's a story she's not interested in knowing. Abdul tells Ali to beware because people in the Medina are still critical of him for Jade's earlier involvement with Lucas. Ali argues that it's all a figment of Abdul's imagination because no one in the Medina is saying bad things about his family name. Jade paces and frets in her room that Lucas has returned to Fez.
Said gets ready to leave for Morocco, and Khadija giggles, making Samira wonder why she's so happy to see Said leave. Khadija swears Samira to secrecy and tells her that Said is bringing Jade back with him. Samira tells Khadija that she kissed Zé Roberto, which causes a second round of giggles from Khadija, who asks for details. Ranya asks Said if he's staying in a hotel or at Ali's house, and Said says he'll decide later. Ranya suggests that if he wants to stay away from Jade, he should stay at a hotel. Said clenches his jaw and repeats that he'll decide that later. Ranya joins Latiffa, Nazira, and Amina, who's holding Munir, and when Amina asks about Said's lodging arrangements, Ranya informs her that Said didn't say where he'd be staying. Nazira, always ready with a cutting remark, declares that of course Said will stay with Ali because Said knows that the "oldalisca" is there and Said wants to see the "oldalisca." Latiffa tries to reassure Ranya and tells her not to get nervous because her milk might dry up.
The doctor takes Maysa in to see Mel and warns her that Mel is still under the effects of the sedatives. Lobato tells his analyst that he thinks of how difficult it must have been for his mother to see him like that, like she had so many other times, in a vegetative state, half dead. Mel gives Maysa a vacant look as Maysa tearfully asks, "Why?" as she bends over to give Mel a kiss and hug. Jade tells Zoraide that Lucas is now living his life happily and has already forgotten about her, just as she has forgotten about him ever since she saw the shadow and saw clearly that the Lucas of today was nothing like the Lucas of the past, whom she had loved. Lucas holds up a veil in Leo's room and tells Deusa that he too fell in love with a woman from Morocco and mentions that the woman's name is Jade. Lucas takes one last look around Leo's room and wonders if Leo could really be another him. Deusa asks Lucas to please leave. Lucas asks Deusa what's wrong because she keeps looking at him with fear. Deusa tells Lucas that it's agonizing for her to look at him, and Lucas admits that he too feels like an extraterrestrial. Deusa tells Lucas that she'll never forgive Albieri for slandering Leo with the label of a clone. Lucas starts to explain to Deusa what a clone is, but she cuts him short and tells him that she doesn't know, nor does she want to know, what a clone it and that she feels hatred towards anyone who does know. Lucas leaves and tells Deusa that he'll keep in touch with her to learn about Leo's return. Edvaldo wakes up and comes downstairs and asks who was just there. Deusa tells him that it was Leo's look-alike. Edvaldo mentions that Antinori had been on television a lot and Deusa surmises that that's from where Albieri must have gotten the idea of a clone.
Lucas returns home, and Maysa weeps as she tells him that the Mel she saw was not the Mel they had raised, that her body was there, but Mel wasn't. Lobato talks about how drugs kill everything, your feelings, your pleasures, and your family as you become totally consumed by the drugs. Nando tells Clarice that Regininha is his girlfriend and turns around to leave, not wishing to hear any more from Clarice. Clarice asks Nando about her missing watch, and Nando denies knowing what happened to it and tries to lay a guilt trip on Clarice by accusing her of thinking he's a liar. Clarice tells him he is a liar because he lied about returning to the university and to the band. Nando asks Clarice why he would want her watch, and she tells him that she doesn't know, but she does know that several things have disappeared from the house and that only the two of them live there. Nando finally admits that he took the watch and breaks down as he tells her he needed it to buy some coke. Nando quickly recovers and starts to yell and scream that neither she nor Escobar gave him any money, implying that he had to resort to stealing, and in frustration shouts at Clarice that maybe she wants him to get the money from the streets because he has no money to pay for the drugs he needs. Nando leaves, and Clarice sobs uncontrollably.
Leo continues to tour the Medina with the tour group. Abdul lectures Sumaya about the evils of television and refuses to consider the idea of getting one for their house. Ali tries to talk some sense into Abdul but doesn't even make a dent. Jade rolls her eyes as she overhears the two of them arguing and goes to talk to Zoraide. Jade tells Zoraide that she wonders if Lucas came with Maysa. Jade and Zoraide reminisce about some of the crazy things Zoraide had done to make it possible for Jade to meet with Lucas. Zoraide assures Jade that Allah shut the door on Lucas so that another door would open for Said. Leo sees Ali giving Abdul a goodbye hug as Abdul and Samira get ready to leave Ali's house.

Dalva le dice
a Lucas que Leo no es un clon, sino humano. En cual Lucas, nervisamente, y
alterado le contesta a Dalvita que si lo es. Se parece a mi, lo unico
diferente, es el hecho que es un clon. El le enseña fotos a Dalvita de cuando
era la edad de Leo. Lucas le dice a Dalvita que a esa edad queria ser
guitarista componiendo sus propias canciones para ser cantados por Mato Grosso.
El añade que a esa edad fue cuando ya habia conocido a Jade. Dalvita lo mira
con tristeza. Lucas le dice a su negrita linda, que se siente perdido. Toda su
vida por empezar en Leo.
Leo se ve
montandose en una guagua.
Maysa va a
visitar a Mel, donde el enfermero le dice que haci estara por un tiempo. Maysa
empieza a sollar. Ella entonces va a un parque donde ve mamas, jugando y
riendose con sus hijos. Ella entonces se siente su estomago. Probablemente
estaba recordando hace 18 años cuando estaba preñada con su pequeña Mel. Al
llegar Maysa a casa, le dice a Dalvita y Leonidas que acavaba de visitar a Mel.
Cuando ellos le pregunta sobre su estado ella le dice, "Mi hija, mi pobre
hija". Al ver que Maysa esta destruida, Leonidas se aproxima hacia ella, y
ambos al la misma vez se dan un abrazo de solidaridad y apollo. A ese momento
Dalvita regresa a la biblioteca y le informa que ya Lucas esta despierto,
porque estuvo rondando la casa toda la noche. En lo que Dalvita le dice a
Lucas, que Maysa acaba de llegar a casa y le pregunta como esta Mel, Dalvita le
contesta, que tendra que preguntarle a Maysa que esta en la biblioteca con el
Sr. Leonidas. Al irse ambos a la alcoba, Lucas la lleva a la donde Maysa se
desahoga, entoces ambos se abrazan. Michelle le dice dice a Dalvita que Xande
esta en casa. Ella cree que el sabe que Mel fue internada, al decir hay,
muchacho ya sabes. Xande se encuentra sorprendido pensando que estara
refiriendose Dalvita. Ella le explica con lujos de detalle. Al preguntarle em
cual clinica esta, Dalvita le responde que solamente Maysa sabe. Xande ve
solloza a Dalvita, y el le da un abrazo, asegurando que todo estara bien. Al
salir de la casa Ferraz, Miro le pregunto que paso. Xande le dice que
internaron a Mel. Miro contesta, ya era tiempo y le pregunta sobre el chavo que
los padres le deben. Xande le contesto que debajo de esas circunstancias y
sufrimientos, no les hiba a pedir el dinero. Miro le contesto que debio haber
hablado del chavo ahora.
Amina, Ranya
Latiffa y Nazira estan en la alcoba. Ranya teme que Said traiga otra vez a
Jade. Latiffa le pregunto si ha dicho algo de regresar a Brasil con ella? Cuando
Ranya dice que no, Latiffa le dice que no hay nada de la cual preocuparse. Nazira
mete el pico. Ella dice que conociendo a los hombres, especialmente sus
hermanos, no hay duda de que la traiga. Despues de todo a ambos de sus
hermanos, siempre le han gustado las odaliscas.
Ranya le
pregunta a Said en cual hotel se va a quedar. El rehusa en darle el nombre. Ranya
cree que Said se quedara con Ali, donde esta Jade.
Clarisse
entra a su alcoba para encontrar Nando dormido en la cama con Reginiña. Al
verlos ella le da duro en el brazo, y le la jala las greñas a Reginiña, y exige
que se vista que se ponga la ropa y se pinte. Reginiña safiamente le pregunta
si tiene cafe. Clarisse en lo que hace esto, esta poniendo el grito por el
cielo. Reginiña le pregunta donde eta el pan y mantequilla. Clarisse le
contesta en la cocina. No se lo que estava pensando, Clarisse. Ella debio sacar
a Reginiña del departamento, inmediatamente. Cuando Reginiña esta en la cocina,
Clarisse le exige que es este comportamiento que venir a un alto. Y que de esto
lo sabra su papa, para que el pueda reparar su actitud. Nando desafia a su mama,
cuando entra Reginiña, y dice que ella pagara por el cafe. Cuando Clarisse
pregunta donde estan sus padres para supervisarla, ella contesta que es
huerfana.
Albieri se
queja que el cientifico italiano ya ha creado tres clones. Por otro lado, Edna
le ruega a Simone que deje esta idea de llevar a Albieri al Consejo de Eticas,
por la amistad que tiene con Albieri. Simone contesta que aqui no tiene que ver
la amistad, sino los prinicipios. Simone le recuerda que cuando La Dra. Brown
hablaba de la clonacion humano, Edna no le daba la razon. Simone tambien le
dice a Edna que cuando tenian estas dicuciones, Edna siempre decia que
cualquier persona que creara un clon humano lo deben llevar a la ahoguera, sin
enbargo ella quiere que Albieri reciba applausos. Edna toma un suspiro, y le
dice que a veces se eligen las personas equivocadas.

Llega Lucas
al hogar de Deusa, donde la mama contesta la puerta y llama a su hija. Cuando
Deusa se queda mirando a Lucas fijamente, Lucas piensa, me estan mirando como
si fuera un copia. Lucas pregunta donde esta Leo. Deusa le contesta que esta de
viaje a Marruecos. Al oir esto, Lucas se sorprende. Doña Mociña le es fraca con
Lucas, y le dice que la tendra que disculpar, que su presensia no le es calida,
y se va. Lucas le pide que Deusa le ensenlle la alcoba de Leo. Cuando el recoje
un par de mammarachos que estan desgarrados, le pregunta si haci suele

Donde comprastes esa ropa? Porque no te puedes vestir mas profesional? Lucas

En Fes, Ali
habla con los niños, diciendoles que al nacer una criatura, antes que cumpla
120 dias, Allah le sopla en la boca al recien nacido para que el/ella sea
bendecido por Allah. Zoraide ve a Jade desde arriba y va para decirle que Ali
esta contando unas bellas historias y que baje. Jade le dice a Zoraide que
presiente que vendra alguien. Zoraide le dice que Said no vendra para unos dias
mas. Ahi es cuando Jade le explica qe no tiene que ver con Said, sino la
sombra. Zoraide se pone nerviosa.
Lucas se ve
en Marruecos en la excursion con mas gente y el guia turistico. El guia le
explica al grupo de gente, que las medinas contruidas, en Fes se ven en Africa
tambien. Leo se esgarita, y cuando Sumaya admira un pulcera de tobillos, le
pide al rey de los berrinchudos (Abdul) que se lo compre. Abdul entonces
empieza a predicar de las unicas mujeres que usan esas joyas solamente son para
exhibicionistas. E incluso viene con la misma machaca de la vida que les
esperan a a esas mujeres.
Leo pasa por
Abdul y Sumaya cuando el lo saluda, y lo llama por su nombre, Leo solamente lo
saludo levantando el brazo. Cuando Abdul le dice a Ali que vio Lucas el
reclama, "Lucas, pero que esta haciendo aqui"? Ali le pregunta
como 8estava. Abdul lo describio como mas joven, bien vestido y abil. Despues de esa
conversacion Abdul revela que no quiere que Said este en una casa con esa
maquina, (television). Cuando Sumaya le dice que es entretenido, el responde
que si se quiere entretenerse, que lea el libro sagrado o sobre la vida de el
profeta Mohamed. Ali apoya a la niña explicando que con la television se puede
aprender todo sobre los acontesimientos mundiales. Pero el insiste que no.
Lobato le
explica a su analista que la cocaina es su unico amante Mata el sentido
paladar, para amar y hace el matrimonio nulo. Es una transferencia.!
Clarisse le
pregunta quien fue esa zorra. El le dice que Reginiña es su novia la cual ella
no puede aceptar. Cuando el tema del reloj es menciondado, Nando se fastidia
con la insistencia, diciendole que no lo robo. Pero al fin, confiesa que lo
robo para comprar cocaina como ella o su papa no le dan chavo. Clarisse siente
repulcion que Nando haya robado su reloj que le costo una tajada, para comprar
drogas. Nando se va a otra parte de la casa, dejando a su mama sollando.
En los adelantos para mañana, Said se ve en Fes. El mira a Jade, que esta enjelgada bajando las escaleras, y Said se queda mirandola. Ranya decide ir a Fes.
USA 10/11/02 - Said goes to Morocco and is greeted by Ali and Jade who asks about Kadija. Ali asks Jade to arrange a big party. Ranya tells Latifa and Amina she is going to Morocco, women don't need permission to leave Brazil. Amina arranges for the tickets and Latifa promises not to say anything, but both are worried that Said will be angry with Ranya. Clarisse finally talks with Escobar about Nando. He admits he hasn't seen his son in two or three months but blames her for his problems, says she didn't provide sufficient discipline. Clarisse can't believe him. Lucas visits Ivette and asks her what he was like 20 years ago. She tells him her impression, says she would not have expected him to be working for his father, sees him as something of a vagabond, a wanderer, etc. Lucas wonders if his life would have been different if Ivette had married his father. Mohammed tells Mustaffa to divorce Noemia or lose his family. On the beach, Odette poses the pregnant Karla next to Teviño who barely notices because he is talking with a bevy of girls. She takes a lot of pictures, obviously to prove that there is something between Karla and Teviño. Leonidas tells Albieri he expects him to testify at the trial to gain custody of Leo because Leo is his son, says Deusa isn't the boy's mother (was just a surrogate; any woman could have carried and given birth to Leo and he would still have been the same). Ivette arranges a modeling show for her business and expects Leonidas to attend. Xande visits Mel in the clinic; she begs him to take her away. He visits Lucas, who hasn't had the nerve to see Mel, and tells him he would be willing to care for Mel at home, postpone going to school, etc. Lucas suggests it would be better for Mel to be at their home, but Xande would be welcome. Ceseu finds Nando on the street: dirty, dishelveled. Nando asks for money because he "lost" his wallet. Ceseu gives him money and he immediately goes off with Regina. Maysa visits Mel in the clinic and gives in to her tears, apology, unhappiness. Maysa tells Dalva she will be coming home, so Dalva arranges a welcome home party with Telmiña, Ceseu, Xande, etc. Leonidas goes home with flowers rather than to Ivette's show. Maysa takes Mel to a store but while she talks with a friend, Mel steals money and runs away. Maysa returns home alone.
RECAP: FRI 10/11 (Chapter 193) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-12-02 13:24 PDT
The tour guide tells Leo to come with them. Zoraide tells Ali that Said had left word that he was staying with them, and Ali takes it to mean that Said wants Jade back. Ali tells Jade that with Lucas in Fez and Said on his way to the house, he doesn't want her to leave the house because if anything bad happened, she would lose her opportunity to be with Khadija. Jade assures Ali that nothing was going to happen because she no longer felt anything for Lucas and amiably agrees that she'll stay away from the Medina. Ranya feels insecure and tells Amina and Latiffa that she's taking Munir to Fez with her and will stay with Ali to keep an eye on Said. Amina tells her she'll go with her, and Ranya asks her to make the flight arrangements because she doesn't know how to do it. Khadija keeps guard while Samira talks to Zé Roberto on the phone in her room. Zé Roberto tells Samira that he's going to be away for a few days to visit his grandfather for his birthday but that when he returned, he wanted to go to Mohamed and tell him that Samira was his girlfriend because he doesn't want to have a relationship with Samira behind Mohamed's back. Samira tells him they'll talk about it when he returns and sends him a kiss. Samira tells Khadija that Zé Roberto just doesn't understand that Mohamed will never accept him as her boyfriend and emphatically declares that if she can't marry Zé Roberto, she won't get married at all, and especially not to that ridiculous candidate Mohamed had found for her in Morocco. Khadija suggests that Zé Roberto could convert to their religion and that way Samira could marry him.
The doctor tells Xande that Mel is having some serious withdrawal problems and was resisting treatment. The doctor points out that Mel was dragged there against her will and informs Xande that she still refuses to leave the room. Xande goes in to see Mel, who assumes he's there to take her home. Mel tearfully tells him to look at what type of place they've taken her to and sobs for him to get out of there and take her home. Xande assures Mel that everything will work out and that he knows that it's best for Mel to be in rehab but hard for him to see her like that, being so impatient about wanting to leave and with her thinking that she wasn't an addict and could stop whenever she wanted to. Telminha tells Xande that there's no way Mel can stop on her own at this stage, and Xande agrees but again mentions how upset Mel was, even with him, and that he has doubts that it's best to keep her there against her will. Mustafá thinks it's improper for a married woman to be giving massages on the beach and tells Noemia that she had promised to stop doing so after they got married. Noemia tells him she must have been crazy to have made that promise and goes off to the beach, even after Mustafá tells her that she's going to find him gone when she returns to the house. Mohamed sees Noemia walking off and chastises Mustafá for letting her walk all over him, and in public no less, and suggests to Mustafá that he return Noemia. Mustafá tells Mohamed to be a little more patient with Noemia, but Mohamed won't be dissuaded. Laurinda and Soninha chuckle as they read a message that Yvete plans to have delivered to Leonidas at his office.
Lucas arrives to talk to Yvete and tells her that he finally saw Leo and had been quite shaken by the meeting. Lucas asks Yvete to tell him what he was like at age 20, and Yvete tells him that he was romantic and easily distracted to the point where it looked like his thoughts were somewhere else, unlike Diogo who always took note of everything around him. Yvete adds that Lucas would like to play barefoot in the street but Leonidas would arrive and make him go inside and put on his starched clothing to greet people in their living room. Yvete remarks that Lucas had always been very repressed and had gone against his true nature, ending up being a properly dressed businessman for his father's business. Yvete tells Lucas that he'd be more true to himself if he were dressed in casual clothes and playing his guitar, and Lucas agrees. Yvete points out that Leonidas had orchestrated Lucas' and Diogo's careers to suit his own needs and hadn't paid any attention to what Lucas and Diogo had wanted for themselves. Lucas tells Yvete that he thinks Diogo suffered less because his career interests were more in line with Leonidas' choice. Lucas finishes by telling Yvete that he thinks his life would have been quite different if Yvete had married Leonidas back then because she would have been able to loosen Leonidas' stranglehold on him.
Leonidas tells Albieri and Edna that since Deusa had refused to come to an agreement, he was taking legal action to assume paternal responsibility for Leo and informs them that Albieri would be asked to testify on his behalf and that Celina would be named as Leo's mother. Leonidas leaves after telling them that Tavinho would be contacting them. Doña Jura questions Xande about a bill for furniture and enough furnishings to outfit an entire house, and Xande tells her that it's not a bill but a budget he had asked to have prepared. Doña Jura tells him it sure looks like he's planning to move out and encourages him to stay while he finishes school, and Xande assures her he will. Said arrives at Ali's house and is given a warm welcome by Zoraide and by Ali. Jade comes downstairs to join them and gives Said her most fetching come-hither look. Ali tells Jade that Said will be staying with them, and Jade gives him a radiant smile and asks about Khadija. Said tells Jade that Khadija is just fine. Latiffa tries to convince Ranya to at least call and tell Said that she was going to Fez, but Ranya knows that if she does, Said will tell her to stay home. Ranya insists that she's willing to risk Said's anger when she gets to Fez because there's no way she's letting him be alone with Jade. Ranya tells Amina and Latiffa that Said still thinks about Jade and that she's seen him in Jade's room touching her veils and crying for her.
Samira tells Khadija that Latiffa knows that Zé Roberto is her boyfriend but doesn't take their relationship seriously and thinks that she'll get over him. Samira assures Khadija that she's seriously in love with Zé Roberto, and Khadija suggests that when Zé Roberto returns from visiting his grandfather, Samira take him to a sheik and have him convert so that by the time Mohamed finds out about their relationship, Zé Roberto will already be a Muslim. Samira smiles and Khadija starts to giggle. Latiffa comes in to see what they're giggling about, and Khadija tells her they were just thinking of how funny it was to see Mustafá dancing pagode with Noemia at their wedding. Amina tells Ranya that she was foolish to have spilled her guts out in front of Latiffa because Latiffa is on Jade's side and will surely tell Jade about it. Ranya asks Latiffa to promise not to say anything to Mohamed about her trip to Fez, and Latiffa assures her that she won't Jade asks Zoraide if she thinks Said still loves her, and Zoraide tells her that Said has always loved her in his own way. Ali wants Jade to arrange for some dancers from Cairo to come to the house for a celebration. Jade goes off to make the arrangements, and Ali tells Zoraide that he's worried about Jade because she may be merely deluding herself that she is truly over Lucas. The tour guide calls out for Leo, who has apparently gotten separated from the group and has made his way to a vantage point where he can see Jade when she leaves Ali's house. Leo sits and waits for Jade to leave the house.
Creuza tells Lidiane that she'll no longer be working for her because her mother is sick and needs her to look after her. Karla works her way close to Tavinho on the beach so that Odete can take some incriminating photos of the two of them. Cecéu, dressed in business attire, sees Nando looking all disheveled. Nando tells him he's lost his wallet and needs some 30 reales. Cecéu gives it to him but tells him to look at himself all dirty and unkempt, to which Nando sarcastically replies that Cecéu has turned into Mr. Squeaky Clean. Regininha comes by and Nando introduces them and then leaves with her, gleefully showing her the 30 reales he now has with which to buy drugs with. Clarice tells Carol that things had gotten so bad with Nando that she no longer knows if she'll travel with Roger. Escobar shows up, and Carol lets them use her office to talk. Clarice tells Escobar that Nando told her to her face that he took her watch for drugs. Escobar thinks that Nando must have said it as a joke, but Clarice explains how other things have been disappearing, including some cash from her wallet, and asks Escobar how long it's been since he's seen Nando. Escobar admits it's been 2 to 3 months and says that he had gotten tired of waiting for Nando to show up and even of going after him, only to be rejected by Nando. Clarice begs Escobar to do something about Nando because she can no longer cope with the situation, and Escobar tells her he'll have a serious talk with Nando if he can get a hold of him. Escobar then goes on to blame Clarice for running a loose ship and letting Nando come and go as he pleases and points out that when he lived with them, things were under control because he knew how to put his foot down. Clarice pleads that she can't handle Nando, and Escobar continues to criticize her for lacking the moral fiber to deal with Nando and accuses her of being more concerned with seeking vengeance for what he did to her with Alicinha than with taking care of Nando. Clarice weeps as she tells Escobar that what he's essentially telling her is that Nando is a drug addict because she had tried to live her life. Escobar tells her to calm down and assures her that he'll be by tonight to talk to Nando. Clarice tells Escobar that he just doesn't get it because Nando might not be home for 2 to 3 days or maybe even a week. Escobar tells her he'll wait for her to call him once Nando comes home and then leaves.
Cecéu tells Clarice that he saw Nando on the street with Regininha and had lent him some money. Xande shows up at Lucas' office and tells him that he had gone to see Mel. Lucas admits that he didn't have the courage to go see Mel and doubts that he will. Xande tells Lucas that Mel was very upset with him when he visited her and asks him if they can't get her out of rehab because he thinks that Mel was scared straight by the experience and won't be touching drugs again. Xande offers to take care of Mel virtually around the clock and begs Lucas to take her out of rehab. Lucas tells Xande that he'd rather take her home and tells Xande that he can come to live with them if he wants. Xande says he wants to do what's best for Mel, and Lucas tells him that Dalva will call him to let him know what's gong on. Lobato comes in and gets to meet Xande before he leaves. Lucas tells Lobato that Xande has shown true dedication to Mel and had just offered to put his studies aside to take care of Mel. Lobato talks about how drugs also affect those closest to the drug user making them co-dependents of sorts. Lucas tells Lobato that Mel is in rehab.
Maysa goes to see Mel, and Mel sobs that she wants to be home with Maysa, that she knows she acted poorly and had treated them badly, and begs Maysa for forgiveness. Maysa hugs Mel, forgives her and affirms, "This is my daughter!" Yvete makes final plans to deliver her message to Leonidas as she tells Raposão and Ligeiro that everything is set and tomorrow's the big day for everyone to find out about her wedding. Chuvas comes by to congratulate Yvete on her parade of famous mothers and their daughters, which is about to get underway. Leonidas is on his way out to attend the parade when Clarice calls him back with a call from home. It's Dalva with the news that Maysa had just called to say that Mel was coming home with her. Leonidas is happy with the good news and tells Dalva that he'll cancel his previous engagement so that he can be home to welcome Mel back. Dalva tells him she'll make a special dinner and that she had already invited Telminha and Cecéu but couldn't get a hold of Nando. Carol notes how happy Leonidas is as he leaves the office for the day, and Clarice tells her it's because he got good news about Mel. Clarice tells Carol that if you look at Leonidas in his executive post and at her in her secretarial position, you would never think the two of them had anything in common, and yet they were living the same story. Maysa takes Mel shopping and tells Mel how happy she is to be with her because it had been such a long time since she had been shopping with her. Maysa promises Mel that everything will work out and that she'll be just fine. Dalva calls Xande and tells him that Mel was on her way back home. Dalva invites Xande to the dinner, and he tells her he'll be right over. Telminha and Cecéu arrive as Dalva talks to Xande. Maysa turns around to talk to a friend, turning her back to Mel, who's busy eyeing Maysa's handbag. Leonidas holds a bouquet of flowers in anticipation of Mel's arrival. Dalva rushes in to announce that they've arrived. Maysa enters the house alone, and Leonidas asks, "Where's Mel?"

El guia le
dice a la gente que pueden usar los baños, pero que sea ahora, porque en
Marruecos tienen horas fijas para usarlos. Zo es informada por Ali que Said se
hospedara en su casa y ella se alegra. Jade despues de decirle a Ali que va a
salir, el le aconseja que cualquier cosa que necesite, Karima se lo comprara. Ademas
la gente no deben tener malas intenciones de ella. Que se acuerde lo que dijo
Abdul, que una hoja de cabello fuera de lugar causa tempestad. Ali le acuerda
que no pierda la oportunidad esta vez. Ali reconoce que hizo mal en cuanto
tratando de impedir la felicidad de ella y Lucas. Debio haber seguido las
enseñansas del romano del amor. El ejemplo es como un incendio! Si juegas con
el incendio, el fuego aumenta y eso fue lo que hizo con Jade y Lucas.
Latiffa le
explica a Ranya que el Tio Ali siempre decia, "Si no puedes arreglar un
mal, tienes que conformarte con lo que tienes. Despues de todo Ranya es y
siempre sera la primera esposa. Amina le da la razon a Latiffa. Ranya reclama que no es justo,
porque Jade se caso con Said primero y fue la que dio su primojenita, y Said
siempre tendra un pedazo de Jade en su corazon. Ella esta dispuesta a viajar a
Fes, pero Amina y Latiffa la tratan de desistir que vaya pero ella esta
insistente. Las dos le recuerdan que no tienen el permiso de viajar, en la
cual, Ranya les recuerda que estan en Brasil, esposas pueden viajar sin permiso
de sus maridos. Latiffa le recuerda que esa accion puede ser razon para el
divorcio. Ranya le pide a Amina que prepare los pasajes para ella.
Samira habla
con Ze Roberto y le pregunta que va a hacer. Ze Robby le explica que ira a las
afuera de Brasil para celebrar el cumpleaños de su abuelo. El qiere conocer a
Mo, porque no quiere ser un novio a esconditres. Kadija que estaba en la alcoba
para ver si habian "moros en la corte", le dice a Samira que Ze Robby
, amandola mucha, podria convertirse en musulman. Lo puede llevar al sheik,
todo estara, cheveruqui. Lati entra a la alcoba para saber de estaban
hablando.las muchachas. Ellas inventan el pretexto de cuando se caso Mustaffa
con Noemia, y tocaron "Pagode". Por la mirada de Latiffa, no se lo
traga. Cree que son sandese de niñas!
Cuando Xande
va a ver a Mel el doctor le dice que esta en crisis de abstinencia y no ha
querido salir de su alcoba. Cuando Xande va hacia Mel, ella le exige que la
saque de ese lugar. Cuando Xande le explica, que es por su propio bien que se
quede, el no puede verla sufrir mas y se retira.
Xande visita
a su futuro suegrito, y al decirle que fue a ver a Mel, Lucas le responde que
no ha tenido el valor para visitarla. Xande esta dispuesto de retrasar sus
estudios para cuidar de Mel, Lucas le pide que se quede en la facultad. Entonces
lo felicita por aber aprobado los examenes. Lucas le propone que el se vaya a
vivir a la casa Ferraz, para estar cerca de Mel. lucas le dice a Xande que
llamara a Dalvita, para dejarla saber que Xande esta en camino a su casa. Lobato
entra, y Lucas presenta a Xande como novio de Mel a Lobato. Xande al salir, le
es informado por Lucas, que Xande ha demostrado una gran dedicacion a que se
mejore Mel. Es mas, el ha querido retrasar sus estudios, para esta con ella. Lobato
como siempre, hablo rapido. Esto es lo que pude coger, "cuando una persona
es droga addicto/a su familia son co-dependientes, tambien".
Xande esta
con su apoyo/amiga, Telmiña, cuando. El le explica como la encontro y como
actuo. Telmiña le dijo, basicamente, que como todo los droga addictos, no
pueden ser curados, pero si hay solucion.
Mustaffa le
estaba rogando a Noemia que ya que es mujer casada, no puede seguir dando masajes.
Ella le reclama que haci la conocio. El entonces le recuerda que tiene un
contrato con el, y si sigue trabajando no lo va a encontrar cuando llege a
casa. Cuando Mustaffa se encuentra con Mo, el lo regaña como si fuera un nene. Le
reclama que ella esta montandose en el como un camello y va a deribar su casa,
y el negocio de el que tambien le afecta. El añade si esto estuviera pasando en
Fes, Noemia seria llevada a 80 latigazos. Y si no ella entonces el. Hay sonidos
de efectos, de latigazos. Cuano Mo levanta el brazo! Mustaffa, casi se le salen
los ojos del susto. El le dice a Mo que hablara con ella. Ella aun no se
acostumbra a sus cultura. Mo abre sus ojos,y estira la trompa, otra vez levanta
el brazo con el sonido de efectos de latigazos.
Sonina, Laurinda
e Yvette estan mirando unas fotos que parecen ser romanticas y picaras.Yvete
les dice a las muchachas, que a Leoncito le va a encantar esto cuando lo reciba
en la oficina. En ese momento toca la puerta, y es Lucas el que vino a ver a
Yvete en privado. Cuano Laurinda y Sonina diplomaticamente se pintan, Lucas le
dice a Yvete que vio a Leo. Cuando Yvete le pregunta como era su reacion, el
contesta que estaba arturdido. El le pregunta como era a esa edad, Yvete le
contesta que tenia 20 años. Lucas desea saber su manera de ser. Yvete lee es
franca, explicandole que el le gustaba jugar y estar a medio descarso, era un
romantico, distraido contrario a Diogo. Diogo sin enbargo era todo lo opuesto. El
observaba todo; salio a su padre. Yvete incuyo que el era reprimido. Si su papa
no hubiese estado en hombro de los imaguas,diciendole que el queria que ambos
hijos tuvieran tal trabajo, Lucas no estaria engavanado ahora. Lucas se
desahoga con Yvete y le dice que se debio haber casado con Leonidas hace 20
años, porque hubiese roto la rigidez de esa casa.
Leonidas
habla con Edna y Albieri, informandoles que Taviño estara en contacto con
ellos. El intenta en quitarle el apellido de Deusa que calga Leo, para hacer un
Ferraz de Leo y ser reconocido como hijo de el y Celina. Albieri y Edna no le
dan la razon a Leonidas, explicando que la verdadera madre es Deusa, porque
ella fue la que lo crio y amo. Leonidas le explica que es Celina laa madre de
Leo por la mancha que ella tenia, y heredaron los imaguas. Albieri y Edna no
pueden creer que esto viene de un hombre instruido, que si pone sus dos dedos
en la frente, debe pensar, "La verdadera madre es la que cria, ama, educa,
regaña cuando es necesario, y tambien le da alabar cuando hacen bien en la
escuela o deporte, etc. Leonidas añade que le dara merito a Deusa por haber
criado a Leo. Nunca espere semejante hanga de Leonidas!
Cuando llega
Said a Fes, el entra a casa de Ali donde esta Zoraide, y la saluda. Las mujeres
empiezan a cantar y mencionan el nombre de Said. Cuando Ali le da la bienvenida
a Said. Cuando baja Jade las escaleras, enjegada,tocan la cancion que va,
"Mirandote a los ojos, juraria que tienes algo nuevo que contarme empieza
ya mujer quisas mañana sera tarde". Ali le pide a Zoraide que prepare te,
y añade, que como homenaje por su llegada, hara una fiesta la cual esta seguro
Jade se encargara. Ella acede. Jade le pregunta a Said como esta Kadija. El
contesta que creciendo y suina. Cuando llega Zoraide, le pregunta como esta
Munir, el orgullosamente le dice que saludable y fuerte. Allah le ha dado mas
de lo que perdio. Zoraide dice, "Alhamdulliah!"
En Brasil,
Ranya ya tiene los pasajes listos. Latiffa le pide si no es mejor llamar a
Said. Ranya suspira y va a decirle que no es necesario.Ranya tiene que ir a Fes,
acuerdo a ella Said no la ha olvidado. Ella lo ha visto que toca sus velos y
hasta ha sido testigo de verlo sollar, Amina disimuladamente le aprieta la mano
a Ranya, y viene con el pretexto, que el bebe necesita cambiarlo, y que le
enseñe donde estan los culeros. Ranya se exalta y le dice ella fue la que los
guardo. Cuando Latiffa sale de la alcoba,
Jade le
pregunta a Zoraide si cree que Said aun la ama. Ella le contesta que siempre la
amo. El amor es como la rabia pero una emocion diferente. Zoraide le pide que
no lo hagas sufrir otra vez. No deje que Lucas la tiente. Jade no quiere saber
sobre la sombra de Lucas jamas. Entra Ali a la cocina y le pide a Jade que
busque musicos y bailarinas de Cairo para honrar a Sherezade que viene de
visita desde Brasil. Ella fue la que hizo el baile de los siete velos hace 42
años. Al salir Jade de la cocina Ali le confiesa a Zoraide que teme por Jade! Zoraide
pregunta si es el temor que Said no la acepta? Ali entonces le explica, que es
el entusiamo de Jade, por ahora demuestra amar a Said, pero si no sera un
impulso para alejarse de la sombra de Lucas. Zoraide suspira, y dice una
expresion en arabe.
Taviño se
encuentra en la playa, tambien estan Odete y Karla. Odete le dice a su hija si
no fuera por su idea genial, ella estaria trabajando en el circo, escupiendo
fuego. Taviño recibe llamada de Lidiane y le pregunta donde esta. Cuando le
dice se siente como si estuviera en una isla incomunicado con muchas mujeres
bellas. Entra Creuza a la sala y Lidiane le hace mimica que espere. Lidiane
viene con su drama, de que quiere ser viudo. El se calcajea, y Lidiane le pide
que le tire un besito. Creuza le informa a Lidiane que ya no trabajara para
ella, debido a que tiene a su mama enferma, y debido a eso va a encargarse de
darle las medicinas y bañarla. Lidiane le dice a Creuza, que un hombre guapo es
una karma. Y que ella sufre, sufre de verdad. Despues que Taviño guarda el
celular, Odete le hace mimicas a Karla para acercarse a Taviño, y le toma
bastantes fotos cerca a el. El se empieza a enfogonar y la mira con antipatia.
Ceceu va por
el pavimento y encuentra a Nando hecho un guiñapo en la calle. El le pregunta
que como esta. Al contestar que se le perdio la billetera, y si le puede
prestar 30 reales, Ceceu saca su billetera y saca dos billetes, mirandolos.
pero antes que Ceceu le de lo que queria, Nando agarra los dos billetes. En ese
momento presenta a Reginiña y Ceceu, diciendo que Reginiña es su novia. Ceceu
le dice a Nando que esta sucio y descuidado. Nando le sale que esta portadito y
elegante.
Clarisse le
dice a Carol que no puede ir a Paris con Roger. Carol le explica que no deje
que esta oportunidad irse. Carol murmulla, que se acerca Escobar. Ella le dice
que ambos pueden usar su escritorio para privacidad. Clarisse lleva a Escobar
por la mano como si fuera un nene regañdo, con su cabeza inclinada. Clarisse le
dice a Escobar que fue Nando el quien robo el reloj. Escobar le contesta que a
lo mejor estava bromiando. Escobar le reprocha que es su culpa por dejarlo
salir a todas horas de la noche. Ella se defiende que tiene derecho a una vida
sin el, (Escobar.) Escobar la acusa de estar celosa por lo de Aliciña, y esto
no hubiese occurido si vive con el. El desea hablar con el, pero Clarisse dice
que a lo mejor en 2 o 3 dias. Una semana por lo mas. Ella lo llamara. Clarisse
le pregunta Escobar la ultima vez que vio a su hijo. El contesta, hace 2 o 3
meses. Despues imita a Nando usando el telefono. "Hola, papa, te hablo
despues, hasta luego." Clarisse sale de la oficina de Carol y se encuentra
con Ceceu. Se saludan y Ceceu le dijo que vio a Nando. Cuando ella pregunta
como estava, el le contesto que perdio su billetera y le presto chavo. Clarisse suspira, y
responde, "Le prestate chavo?!"
Yvete, Sonina
y Laurinda van por el pavimento cuando se encuentran con Raposao y Ligeiro. Ellos
les pregunta si ya tienen el menu reservado, lo cual Yvete responde, Si, y
Leoncito debe llegar pronto. Ella se encuentra con Chuvas y lo saluda. El va a
verificar que todo este en orden. los ojos de Raposao y Ligeiro se le salen
cuando ven a Lidiane. Raposao exclama, "Madame Lidiane!" El show de madre e
hija es un exito!
Cuando
Leonidas saca la gaita y le pide a Clarisse que separe los reportes, ella dice
que lo hara ahora, pero el contesta te lo pedi esta mañana. Clarisse le dice a
Carol que el Sr. Leonidas en su escritorio de jefe y ella en la de secretaria,
sin saber que hay algo en comun que los une, (nieta/hijo droga adictos!) Dalva
llama a Xande para decirle que Mel regresara, le pide que vaya para celebrar. Dalvita
llama a la oficina de Leonidas. Clarisse le dice a su jefe, que Dalvita llamo,
y que Mel llegara hoy. Leonidas cancela una junta que tenia para estar par el
recibimiento.
M y M (Maysa
y Mel) estan de compras en un centro commercial cuando Maysa le pide que Mel se
porte bien. Ella lagrimosa, menea su cabeza, si. Cuando ambas entran a una
tienda deportiva, la llama una amiga, Maysa empieza a hablar con ella. La amiga
se sorprende que esta en una tienda deportiva, Maysa le explica es para Mel. Ellas
proceden en hablar del viaje de la amiga.Mel se le queda mirando la cartera de
su mama.
Todo el mundo
esta esperando en la sala; Lucas, Xande, Dalvita Ceceu y Telmiña, cuando entra
Maysa, con los cachetes escolgados, y sola. Leonidas sale a la sala y pregunta,
con un ramo de rosas, "Donde esta Mel?"
Los adelantos
para el Lunes son, algo inesperado en el destino de Jade. El corazon le da un
habizo. Jade esta dispuesta a ser que brille la luz en corazon de Said. Ella le
dice a Zoraide, "Yo se como hacer para que vuela loco por mi." Puede
haber algo que opaque. Una sombra puede opacar esperanza de Jade y Said. Se ve
cuando Leo ve una tela negra. Jade y Said se ven bailando, cuando Jade ve a Leo
vestido como Lucas, cuando se hizo pasar como la sobrina de Zoraide Yazmine, en
Brasil. Ella se queda espasmada. Y cuando mira los zapatos de tennis, se ve
como si hubiese visto a un fantasma.
Brazil, 02/05 - Capítulo 184 Ali fica satisfeito com a reação de Said ao ver Jade. Amina e Latiffa tentam convencer Ranya a não viajar. Leo espera Jade diante do portão. Clarice pede que Escobar converse com Nando. Yvete fica furiosa porque Leônidas não aparece em seu desfile. Ligeiro e Raposo sugerem que ela mande uma mensagem raivosa. Edvaldo fala que Leo talvez seja um clone, deixando Deusa e Mocinha furiosas. Jade dança com Said. Leo entra na casa de Ali disfarçado de mulher. Jade o vê e desmaia. Said pede que ela seja sua esposa novamente. Leo vai embora arrasado, achando que Jade também tem medo dele. Ranya vê Jade e Said de mãos dadas. USA, 10/14/02. Edvaldo tells Deusa maybe the story about the cloning is true; she still refuses to listen. Maysa asks Lucas if they could have raised Mel differently. He doesn't know. When Lucas goes to Albieri's clinic, both Edna and Anita look at him as if her were an ET. Lucas demands to know why Albieri chose him, his life has been a disaster since he knew of the clon. Lucas tells him what it is like for people to see him as he was at 20, to see what he has become. (Usually, people forget with the years as they grow old with you.) He tells Albieri that in a way he has killed him. Albieri tells Lucas this gives him another chance to live. Lucas tells Albieri what his life is like today (a failed marriage, a job he doesn't like, a child addicted to drugs), asks him if he can imagine what it is like to see a person identical to him with a future before him. In Morocco, Said watches Jade during the party she has arranged. Ali dances with a very heavy woman. Jade joins her in the dance; then Said joins Jade in the dance. Leo tries to get in but can't. Tio Ali suggests to Zoraide that if Said and Jade don't reconcile, perhaps he will let Kadija stay with her in Fes. Leo enters the party covered in a black burka. Jade sees him, sees the sneakers under the burka and freezes, then faints. Jade tells Zoraide "he" is there, asks her to send him away. Said goes to her room, asks if she wants to be his wife again. He slips a ring on her finger and she hugs him. Zoraide looks for him but can't find him. Leo has left, realizes that she, too, fears him. Ranya arrives in Fes, to find Said and Jade holding hands. Said is furious that Ranya left Kadija in Brazil with Amina and the maids. He sends her to her room. Said asks Jade what she feels for him. She tells him she is discovering him, would like the marriage they never had, would like to have another child with him. Leonidas tells his family that he is going to marry Ivette. Alicinha tells Escobar that Clarisse is going to Paris with Roger; he doesn't care, but needs her, Alicinha, and she is never there. He tells her they can't stay together any more. He tells her to leave the apartment; she tells him he is the one who must leave. The apartment is hers. He tells her the apartment is his; she tells him to prove it.
RECAP: MON 10/14 (Chapter 194) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-15-02 10:16 PDT Yvete frets because Leoncito hasn't arrived for her mother and daughter fashion parade. Lidiane frets because Tavinho is looking at all the models appreciatively. Yvete calls Leonidas' office and learns that he went home. Yvete then goes over to Raposão and Ligeiro to cancel her message that she was going to send Leonidas. They tell her that they can send a message attacking him instead of saying nice things to him, and she appears to be intrigued by the thought. Deusa frets because Leo has disappeared and has yet to contact them. Edvaldo reminds Deusa that that's Leo's style because he's never been that close with them all along. Deusa gets upset when Edvaldo tells her that Lucas and Leo look so much alike that he's beginning to believe that Leo is a clone.
Maysa tells Lucas that Mel caught her off guard, and she hadn't realized that she had left her handbag unattended. Lucas, in one of his non-communicative, self-absorbed moods, walks out of the room after telling Maysa that he feels suffocated. Lucas goes to Albieri's clinic and thinks that Anita and Edna are looking at him like he's an extra-terrestrial when they were probably simply surprised to see him there. Lucas goes to Albieri's office where he's meeting with Father Mattioli. Albieri introduces them, and Father Mattioli eyes Lucas with interest. Lucas asks Albieri why he picked him and tells him that his life has become unbearable after he saw his clone, that he feels like a failure when he sees him, and also that he feels sure that everyone else feels the same way. Lucas adds that he's been in a state of shock because the protective layer that we all have to selectively remember the past has been stripped away, and he's now forced to see himself at age 20. Lucas continues and says that people who see him now at age 40 and see Leo at age 20 can see firsthand for themselves how poorly he's aged, and not just physically, because they can't help but compare him with the clone. Father Mattioli reluctantly agrees that he too couldn't help but compare Lucas to Leo, and Albieri defends himself by trying to get Lucas to think of Leo as a son who resembles his father strongly. Lucas can't accept the analogy and neither can Father Mattioli who tells Albieri that that would be like thinking of Eve as Adam's daughter because she was created from his rib. Lucas tells Albieri that, in a way, Albieri killed him, and Albieri disagrees and says that on the contrary, he gave Lucas another opportunity at life. Lucas mentions that Albieri knows full well how his life turned out because he didn't do what he wanted with his life nor did he have the strength to fight for what he wanted, having subrogated himself to his father's will and left his music behind. Lucas bemoans that now he was chained to his desk and his daughter was involved in drugs and had turned his home into an insane asylum which resulted in his having to give up the love of his life. Lucas ends by saying that he no longer sees a way out of his life, sees no light at the end of the tunnel, and now is being tortured because Albieri has put before him a Lucas for which the world was full of possibilities.
Leo continues to wait and watch for Jade outside Ali's house. When the door opens to let one of the women out, Leo tries to get in but one of Ali's men shoos him away. Jade tells Zoraide that she'll wait for Said to make the first move because his manly pride would make him reject her if she took the initiative like she had done that time she showed up at his house with her bags packed ready for him to take her back and ended up being rejected. Jade giggles with glee as she tells Zoraide that tonight she's going to dance for Said to make him crazy for her and adds that her heart tells her that something big is about to happen in her life. The celebration begins at Ali's house and the belly dancing troupe begins to perform. Jade smiles glowingly at Said, who finally loosens up and smiles back. Leo gets turned down once more at the door by another of Ali's men. Ali dances with the guest of honor, a rather corpulent older woman. Jade continues to give Said seductive looks as she too starts to dance. Abdul looks back and forth at Jade and Said and tells Ali that asking Said to use good judgment would be like asking a camel to play a flue. The guest of honor takes Jade by one hand and Said by the other and leads them onto the dance floor where Jade dances for Said.
Leo takes a burka from a vendor's stall in the Medina. Jade touches Said's face as she continues to dance for him. Ali and Zoraide look on, and Ali tells Zoraide that he's going to convince Said to let Jade and Khadija live with him in Fez and Ranya can travel with him back to Brazil. Leo crashes the party dressed in a burka and mingles among the partygoers. Jade sees him and gazes down at his feet, seeing his sneakers and pants. Jade stops smiling, stops dancing, and stares at Leo. Jade murmurs "Lucas" to herself and faints in Said's arms. Said carries Jade into her bedroom and puts her down gently on the bed. Jade grabs his hand and asks him not to leave her because she's afraid. Said assures her that he's right there and kisses her on the forehead. Zoraide shoos Ali and Abdul, as well as Karima, away. Jade implores Said to never again leave her, and Said tells her he loves her, has always loved her, and won't ever leave her again. When Said leaves, Jade tells Zoraide that Lucas was at the party and asks her to go tell him to go away and leave her alone. Said returns with a gift for Jade, a ring, and asks her to be his wife once again as he slips the ring on her finger and kisses her hand. Jade hugs Said, murmurs his name, but doesn't say yes to him. Zoraide walks around trying to find Lucas but can't because he's already left. Leo goes to return the burka and thinks to himself that Jade too was afraid of him. Zoraide returns to Jade's room, and Jade holds her hand up so that Zoraide can see the ring. Said again kisses Jade on the forehead and tells her that he's going to tell Ali that they've reconciled. Zoraide tells Jade that she must have imagined Lucas because he was nowhere to be found.
Nazira can't believe that Said returned to the "oldalisca", and Mohamed is highly critical of Said also for having resumed his marriage to Jade. Latiffa and Nazira get into their usual tit for tat exchange, with Mohamed caught in the crossfire. Nazira leaves after making a veiled remark warning Mohamed that Latiffa was pulling the wool over his eyes with regard to the children, which Latiffa denies. Ranya arrives at Ali's house with Munir and walks in just as Said is stroking Jade's face in the living room. Said looks up, and Jade turns around and sees Ranya and Munir. Said asks Ranya what happened, what she's going there, and where Khadija is. Ranya answers back rather assertively that Khadija is home. Said reprimands her to leaving Khadija with the maids, but Ranya tells him in a sharp tone that Amina is home in her place taking care of everything. Said is livid that Ranya traveled alone with Munir after he had expressly told her to stay home and asks her whose permission she had to make the trip. Zoraide tries to quell things by telling Said to tone it down or he'll wake up Munir, and Jade even suggests that it might be best for Said to take Ranya and Munir upstairs to get them settled in one of the rooms. Ranya, looking grim faced, says nothing but gives Said one last glaring look before she leaves and goes upstairs with Zoraide. Zoraide asks Ranya why she did it, and Ranya responds that Jade had done a lot worse things to Said and yet Said was getting back together with her. Zoraide advises Ranya to let Said and Jade reconcile because it wouldn't take anything away from Ranya's in Said's house or in his heart, but Ranya insists that as long as Jade came between her and Said, Said would never be the husband she wanted. Ranya declares that she wasn't about to leave Jade alone with Said and that she would be there watching his every move. Zoraide tells her to accept what's written, but Ranya purses her lips and says to herself that Jade will not take Said away from her.
Jade tells Said that Ranya doesn't want her back, and Said responds that he does. Said seeks assurance from Jade that what she had told him yesterday was true, and Jade tells him that Ali was right when he told her that she was in love with love and not with Lucas. Jade adds that she saw that clearly when she and Lucas met again after 20 years, and Lucas turned out to be different from the Lucas she remembered and that it had been difficult for her to admit that she threw 20 years of her life away on someone who turned out to be a figment of her imagination. Jade continues and says that unlike a fairy tale where the frog turns into a prince, her prince had turned into a frog. Said asks Jade what she feels for him, and Jade tells him that as she looks at him, she wants him to win her over, that she wants to have with him the marriage that she had always wanted to have, and that she wanted to have another child with him. Said takes Jade's hand and kisses it, which brings a smile to Jade's lips.
Leonidas asks Lucas if he'll accompany him for lunch with the president of a bank so that he can seal an important contract, but Lucas tells him that he can't concentrate on much of anything right now. Leonidas asks for news about Mel, and Maysa tells him that no one, not even Xande, knows anything. Maysa adds that she jumps every time the phone rings and that she's worried sick over the thought of Mel out there all alone. Leonidas insists that you have to find a way to keep on going, like he's doing; in fact, he's going to get married with Yvete because he needs to have some joy in his life, especially now, in order to put up with what's going on. Leonidas points out that since Leo arrived, the barriers that had kept him away from Yvete have been reduced. At the mention of Leo's name, Lucas bristles and tells Leonidas that they'll talk about that some other time. Leonidas leaves, and Lucas admits that Leonidas is right about continuing to live, even if he himself can't find a way to do it. Mel hangs out with Nando and Regininha, but walks away from them as she shrinks away from her own shadow. Nando and Regininha both need some coke, and Nando tells Regininha that they can go to his house because no one's home and get something to sell. As they turn around to get Mel to join them, they see that she's gone.
Escobar tells Alicinha that he's worried about Nando, but Alicinha is on her way to the gym and could care less. Escobar gets upset that Alicinha is going to leave him when he needs her to stay and soothe his ruffled feathers, and Alicinha tells him she doesn't see the point of staying and worrying with him because it won't help matters any. Alicinha suggests that Escobar do something useful like notify the police to search for Nando, and Escobar looks at her in disbelief and tells her that she's really something. Alicinha points out to him that Clarice is at work and certainly not anguishing over Nando. At the mention of Clarice's name, Escobar tells Alicinha that she doesn't know what she's talking about because Clarice is also worried about Nando. Alicinha snidely remarks that Clarice is so worried that she's leaving for Paris with Roger at the end of the month and would have left sooner if some problems at the club hadn't prevented Roger from making the trip earlier. Escobar tells Alicinha that Clarice hadn't said anything about the trip but that whether she traveled or not was of no interest to him because Clarice doesn't live with him; she does and she's never been there for him. Escobar whines that this is the worst moment of his life, and he can't even count on her. Alicinha shouts at Escobar to go talk to Clarice because Nando is their problem, not hers. Escobar finally begins to see the light of day and tells Alicinha that he thinks they shouldn't stay together. Alicinha agrees and says they can't live together any more. Escobar tells Alicinha that she can take her things and go stay with a girlfriend. Alicinha tells him that he's the one who has to pack his bags and go and that when she returns, she doesn't want to see him or his luggage. Escobar, dense as ever, asks her if she wants to throw him out of his own house. Alicinha, her voice dripping with sarcasm, answers, "Out of your house? You think this house is yours?" Escobar answers "Of course it is; you know that; this is my house." Alicinha smirks and says "Prove it," as she turns around and leaves.
Resumen de
10/14 Author: Nikolas (---) Date: 10-15-02 02:15 PDT Estimados amisdades: Lamento no
haber empesado la novela desde el principio. Estuve viendo el baseball, y se me
olvido programar el video. Se me pasaron como 3 o 4 minutos
El sertamen
entre madre e hija era to todo un exito. Yvete estaba preocupada que Leonidas
no haya llegado, y Laurinda le presto su celular. El le informo que no iria. Yvete
se siento trite. Lidiane trataba de distraer a Taviño enseñandole su anillo,
para que no viera a las madres guapas.
Deusa esta preocupada
que Leo no haya llegado. Edvaldo le explica que siempre ha sido haci. Nunca
mostro emociones. E incluso agrega que a lo mejor es verdad, esto lo del clon. Deusa
por su puesto se enfogona y le da gracias a Dios que no tuvo hijos con ella. Doña
Mociña le da la razon a su hija.
Maysa entra a
la alcoba donde es Lucas, y se trepa en la cama de rodillas estilo yoga. Ella
se desahoga explicandole a Lucas, que parece como si hubiese tenido una
pesadilla de Mel. Maysa le pregunta a Lucas, que hubiese hecho diferente, si
podria cria a Mel, otra vez, que haria diferente? El dice (como si pensara en
voz alta, no haciendole caso a Maysa,) Porque no podemos pasar la vida de
nuevo. Maysa entonces le pregunta a Lucas, Me culpas? Lo cual encontesta, Estoy
sofocado! Ella le dice a el, Le di lo mejor de la vida, no pude hacer mas. Lucas
se sale de la alcoba, y Maysa se acuesta en posicion fetal.
Lucas va a la
oficina de Albieri, donde estan Anita y Edna. Cuando ambas mujeres ven a Lucas,
el piensa: "Me ven como si fuera un extraterrestre. hasta Edna, que me ha
conocido toda la vida". El pide ver a Albieri, Edna le ofrece llevarlo,
pero le sabe el lugar donde queda. Cuando Lucas entra a la oficina de Albieri,
esta acompañado por el Padre Mattioli. Lucas procede reprocharle a Albieri,
"Que porque lo eligio a el? Desde que se encontro con el clon su vida ha
sido un martirio.Ver a un imagen de el hace 20 años conviviendo sabiendo de su
existentencia, lo hace sentir un fracaso. Hasta la otra gente lo ven como un
Lucas envejecido. Antes se sentia como si tuviera toda su vida por delante,
pero ahora se siente que su clon hecho de carne y hueso le recuerda que tuvo
que ser doblegado, complaciendo a su papa detras de un escritorio, haciendo un
trababo que detesta, en vez de ser el guitarista que queria ser. Ni ahora se
puede casar con Jade. Cuando Albieri le trata de explicar lo que ocurio y el
proceso, Lucas interumpe, y le pregunta a Padre Mattiolo que debido por la
expresion que puso, se imagina que ya vio el clon. El sacerdote le dice que si.
Albieri le dice que Leo es como si fuera su hijo, y le pregunta si es verdad;
esperando que Matiolli lo apoye. Cuando el Padre M. le dice que no. Tendra
parentesco, pero como hijo no. Dios, Matiolli, esplica, saco una costilla de
Adan para hacer a Eva, pero eso no la hace su hija.
Leo esta en la
medina, y al tratar de entra a la fiesta de Ali, le es negado la entrada. Ali
le comenta a Abdul que el cementerio esta lleno de gente impaciente. Que todo
lo que es tuyo, llegara. Abdul le da la razon a Ali, añadiendo que Pidiendole
que Said tenga juicio, es como pedirle a un camello toque la flauta. Ali hace
un mueca cuando Abdul no lo mira. Sumaya encuentra la reunion de Said y Jade
romantico, a la cual Zoraide contesta, "Alhamdullilah." Sherezade
baja por las escaleras y es asistida por Ali. Abdul le besa la mano. Said se pone de rodilla
al ver Jade bailar para el. Sherezade, Said y Jade bailan en un circulo. Leo
esta mirando una tela negra Said y Jade se miran un al otro como un par de
adolecentes. Ali le dice a Zoraide que tratara de convencer a Said que Jade se
quede en Fes y Ranya en Brasil. Al estar la fiesta en todo su apojeo, Jade y
Said bailan cuando Jade ve a una figura negra la cual le trai recuerdos cuando
Lucas estava pasandose por Jasmine. Al ver los zapatos de tennis ella menciona
el nombre de Lucas, en voz baja. Ella entoces se desmaya. En ese momento, tocan
la melodia, "Tan solo tu amor, vencemos el temor." Said lleva a Jade
a su alcoba acompañada por Zoraide, Karima y otras mujeres mas. Zoraide le
repite a Karima y las otras, que se pinten. Cuano Zoraide esta sola con Jade,
ella le iforma que vio a Lucas. Zoraide va a la sala, y disimuladamente empieza
a fisgoniar donde esta Lucas escondido. En la alcoba, Said saca
.................. hay, que mentes sucias tienen! Jajajajajajaja! un anillo, y
le pide a Jade que sea su esposa otra vez. Jade ve el anillo, y se abrazan. Said
quiere saber que piensa ella de el. Ella le explica que nunca le dio una
oporttunidad para que ella lo amara. Pero ahora sabe que si lo quiere en su
vida. Said desea saber que entonces porque despues de 20 años pensaba en el. Ella
le asegura que estava enamorada de una illusion, no del hombre. Lucas dejo de
ser el hombre que conocio. A veces una besa un zapo y se vuelve principe. En su
caso, ella beso un principe que se conviertio en zapo. Said le informa que
hablara con Ali.
En Brasil, ya
recibiron, Latiffa, Nazira y Mo la noticia de la reconciliacion. Mo y Latiffa
dejan saber su opinion que en simples palabras que Said hizo mal. Teniendo una
esposa como Ranya como acepto a Jade, otra vez. Nazira explica que ella es la
unica de los tres hermanos que no se ha casado. Ahora tendra otra odalisca en
casa. Cuando Latiffa protege a Jade, Nazira sale que es obio que ella cubra las
fechorias de su primita. Latiffa le recuerda que Nazira una vez dijo, Si Said
puede tener un odalisca, porque no dos. Pero Nazira niega que dijo eso. Cuando
ambas mujeres empiezan a picarse, Mo levanta las mano pidiendo que basta. Nazira
entonces le dice a su hermano, que si ella fuera el, estaria precavido de lo
que hacen sus hijos. Su casa puede derumbarse encima de el. Cuando Mo pide que
Latiffa se explique, ella empieza a decir que nada ocure con su casa, Samira o
el Puequeño Hitler.
En Fes, Ranya
y Munir han llegado al hogar de Ali y es saludada por las mujeres. Cuando entra
a la sala, encuentra a su marido con Jade. Said esta sorprendido , se para y le
pregunta que fue lo que paso, y si vino con su hermana. Al contestar que no. Le
reprocho como pudo dejar a Kadija en cuidado de las sirvientas. Jade le
aconseja a Ranya que debe subir a una de las alcobas. Ranya le dice a Zoraide
que no puede dejar que Said traiga a Jade a Brasil otra vez. Zoraide le
aconseja que dejen que se reconcilien. En la sala, Said quiere saber si es
verdad lo que le dijo en la alcoba. Ella responde que si. Ella ahora quiere ser
feliz con el, y tener un hijo, juntos.
En Brasil,
Leonidas sigue con sus negocios y quiere que Lucas lo acompañe para cerrar un
negocio. Dalvita le explica a Lucas y Maysa que tambien estan en la biblioteca,
que cada vez que suena el telefono cree que es el hospital diciendo que esta
muerta o ha sido raptada. Leonida le dice se no piense en eso, pero Maysa le da
la razon a Dalvita. Leonidas hubiese hecho las cosas diferentes y tambien
anuncia su boda con Yvete. Todos estan sorprendidos, menos Lucas que esta
feliz. El hubiese tomado acion. Cuando Lucas le explica a su papa, se altera, y
Leonidas le pide a Maysa que sea ella la que discuta con su marido.
Nando y
Reginiña tratan de controlara Mel cuando ella dice ver sombras.
Escobar esta
molesto al ver que Aliciña no demuestre preocupacion por Nando por su
desaparicion. Aliciña le explica que lo que tiene que hacer es dar parte a la
policia. Ella quiere que Escobar la disculpe porque va a bañarse e ir para
entrenar. Ella incluso reprocha a Clarisse por no estar ahi por el. Despues de
todo, Aliciña le explica a Escobar, que Clarisse y Roger se van a
Paris. Esto le
sorprende, pero entonces le dice que ya Clarisse no esta en su vida. Y que sabe
ella, si Clarisse no pasa las decaines por el? Escobar le le dice a Aliciña que
ya no pueden juntos, y ella se queda como si ji! Escobar le explica, que amigas
no le faltan, haci que cuando regrese el quiere ver que ella se haya hido. Pero
Aliciña lo puso como chorota. Ella atestigua que el departamento es de ella,
añadiendo, es el, el que se tiene que ir, y no lo quiere ver cuando ella
llegue. Escobar le dice a Aliciña que ese departamento es de el. Ella entonces
le declara, Pruebalo!
Los adelantos
para mañana, La ira de Ranya esta encendida, y se se apodera de un arma para
que Said se quede con ella. Ranya ve a Leo creyendo que es Lucas. Ella y Jade
estan en la alcoba, cuando Ranya llama a Jade una embustera Jade le explica que
esta vez sera diferente. Ranya entonces le dice que vio al brasileño. Cuando
Ranya y Jade ven hacia la puerta, se dan cuenta que Said oyo todo; o casi todo.

Nando rouba tudo o que pode de casa. Lobato anuncia que pagou a entrada de seu apartamento. Yvete manda mensagem no carro de Ligeiro e Raposo rompendo o casamento com Leônidas, que morre de vergonha. Karla sente uma pontada na barriga. Alicinha avisa a Miro que seu ex-marido está perturbando-a. Jura se orgulha ao ver Xande indo para a faculdade. Jade pede que Said não se encontre mais com Maysa.

USA, 10/15/02 - While Nando finds things to steal in his home, Reginha tries to call home for help, but the line is busy. Ivette plans some kind of trick on Leonidas because he didn't appear at her desfile. Leonidas and Ivette argue about what each did, but make up. Clarisse and Roger arrive at her home to find it a mess. Jura is proud of Xande as he goes to his first day of classes, can already imagine him graduating. Lucas tries to explain to Maysa how he feels about Leo: everybody who has seen Leo looks at him, Lucas, differently, as if he were a clone, compare him to what he was (or could have been?). Escobar tells Julio and Edna what Alicinha said. Then Anita repeats to Escobar how she saw Alicinha on the beach with another man and the relationship did not seem new. Escobar doesn't seem to believe that, but he is determined to kick Alicinha out of the apartment. In Morocco, Ranya tells Zoraide that Said hasn't spoken to her since she arrived. Abdul advises Said and Ali to let Ranya suffer a bit for her behavior. Jade asks Said not to see Maysa anymore because she is still Lucas' wife, and she doesn't want to see Lucas again. Said agrees: just her and Ranya. Ranya sees them together. Then she sees Leo outside the house. Later, Ranya tells Jade to stay away from her baby, that everything was wonderful in Brazil after she left. Jade tries to make her understand, as one mother to another, how much she misses Kadija, admits that she made mistakes in the past but wants to correct them. Ranya doesn't believe her, tells her she saw Lucas trying to get into the house. Said overhears. Jade tells Said it is not her fault if Lucas came to Morocco. She doesn't control his life. Then Ranya and Jade start to fight and Said has to grab Jade, literally lifts her off the floor. With her "friends", Mel faints. Most don't want to help her for fear of the police. Nando and Reginha take Mel to a clinic but only Reginha stays with her. The doctor tells Mel she is pregnant and she recalls Xande's words, his desire for a child. Mel calls Telmiña who tells Lidiane she called but not where she is. Lidiane calls Maysa's house and tells Dalva who tells Maysa. Telmiña goes to the place where Mel said she would be. Reginha greets Telmiña and tells her that Mel is pregnant. Clarisse shows Escobar what happened in the apartment: Nando stole everything of value including her jewels. Lobato tells his psychiatrist how he felt when his wife had to protect the children from him. The psychiatrist tells him to talk with his family, apologize to them for what he did, suggests to Lobato that he doesn't believe in his own recovery.
RECAP: TUES 10/15 (Chapter 195) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-16-02 09:47 PDT Nando starts to clean out Clarice's apartment of anything of value he can sell for drugs. Regininha starts to freak out and tells Nando that she wants to stop doing drugs because she feels like she's going to die, as she rambles on about having already gone clean for 3 months and being able to do it again after she has her one last line of coke for a final sendoff. Yvete would like to give Leonidas his final sendoff as well as she tells Raposão and Ligeiro to change the message they're about to deliver on their message-mobile to Leonidas while he has lunch at a restaurant with some clients. The message-mobile, by the way, is a purple vintage VW Beetle, all decked out in black balloons with white letters spelling out Judas, a large snake wrapped around the front, a skull by the front bumper, and a scarecrow made up to be a bridegroom sitting in the back seat. Yvete, Laurinda, and Soninha follow the message-mobile in their car so that they can savor Leonidas' reaction firsthand. As the message-mobile approaches the restaurant, Ligeiro blows the horn repeatedly, and Raposão starts to call out Leonidas' name over a microphone. Leonidas hears them inside the restaurant and comes outside with his clients after a waiter tells them that they paying homage to him outside. Leonidas and his lunch mates look dumbfounded as Raposão reads Yvete's message telling Leonidas that everything had ended between them and dogging him for having duped her like he's surely duped many a client. The crowd boos Leonidas as Yvete watches with a satisfied look on her face. Noemia gives a client a massage on the beach while she makes small talk with Karla and Odete. Karla gets a sharp pain, which Noemia thinks is false labor, and Odete starts to fret about Karla risking her "blank check" of a pregnancy. Alicinha tells Miro that her uncle is leaving today but that her ex-husband was giving her a hard time. Clarice comes home with Roger and sees that Nando has ransacked the place. Xande gets ready to attend his first day of classes at the university, and Doña Jura is so proud that she asks one of the shopkeepers to take a picture of him with her, Basilio, Gasolina, and Aninha, a picture which she's going to have blown up into a poster.
Ranya complains to Zoraide that Said hasn't spoken to her since she arrived in Fez and worries that Said might divorce her. Abdul encourages Said to keep giving Ranya the cold shoulder, and he and Ali get into their usual bickering, which Said is in no mood for as he gets up and leaves. Jade asks Said to stop seeing Maysa so that they can keep their distance from Lucas as well, and Said promises her that he will. Said reaches out and tenderly touches Jade's face, which Ranya sees from the upstairs balcony. Ranya storms into her bedroom and declares that Jade will pay her for what she's done. Leo thinks about Jade as she looked at him at the party and fainted into Said's arms. Lucas tells Maysa that everyone is looking at him differently now, as if they're afraid of him, and he feels that he's from another plant because people look at him like he's an aberration of nature. Lucas adds that even Maysa has changed, making him feel that at times she looks at him and compares him with the clone. Lucas continues and says that for years he fought for his own identity apart from Diogo and now that he's more or less achieved it, he's fighting the same battle with the clone. As one of Ali's men leaves the house, Karima holds the door open for him. Leo stands in the doorway, and Ranya sees him from the upstairs balcony and thinks he's Lucas.
Leonidas goes to Yvete's apartment and lambastes her for trying to ruin him. They get into their usual squabble and get out of it their usual way, by kissing and making up. Mel passes out on the street, and Regininha and Nando drag her to the doorstep of a clinic. Regininha stays with her, but Nando takes off like a shot, not wanting to stick around and risk having the cops come around. Escobar admits to Edna, Julio and Anita that he was an idiot to have believed Alicinha, but affirms that he's not going to be the one to leave the apartment; it'll be Alicinha even if he has to tie her up to get her out. Escobar swears that if he gets home tonight and finds her things still in the apartment, he'll pack them up and send them over to Alicinha at her job. Anita tells Escobar that from what she saw, it looked like Alicinha had a longstanding relationship with the man she saw her with on the beach. Edna gets a call from the tour guide reporting Leo's disappearance but passes it off as a call about a friend when Julio asks her if there's a problem.
Leo shows one of Ali's men Jade's stone and tries to convince him to let him in to see Jade, but the man doesn't understand him and answers him in Arabic. Jade goes to see Munir, but Ranya tells her that she doesn't want Jade near him or near Said for that matter. Jade tries to convince Ranya that all she wants is to return to the household and be with Khadija, but Ranya remains unconvinced and brings up the fact that she just saw Lucas standing in the doorway, a comment which Said overhears as he walks in to join them. Julio tells Albieri that Simone had just denounced him before the Ethics Board. Mel asks the doctor what's wrong with her, and he tells her that he's got good news; she's pregnant. The doctor warns Mel about the effects of her continued drug use on the fetus and tells Regininha that he'll give her the address of a good walk-in prenatal clinic. Mel flashes back to a scene where Xande tells her that he would be thrilled to have a baby with her. Mel calls Telminha, who tells her she'll be right over. Telminha tells Lidiane that she's going to meet Mel and that she could tell from the tone of Mel's voice that something had happened. Lidiane goes to call Maysa, but Telminha tells her to hold off until she sees and speaks to Mel. Dalva gets Lidiane's phone call and tells Maysa that Telminha went to meet Mel. Maysa doesn't want Dalva to talk about Mel's situation to Lidiane or to anyone else, but Dalva points out that there's no point in hiding anything now because everyone knows about Mel's current state. Maysa is perturbed to hear that because she thinks that everyone is criticizing her and blaming her for Mel's drug problem.
Clarice returns to the ransacked apartment with Escobar and tells him that she's calling a locksmith to change the locks so that Nando can't come home unless she's there to let him in. Clarice sobs as she tells Escobar that it's horrible to have to defend yourself from your own son. Lobato talks to his analyst about having practically sold everything in his house for cocaine and of his wife having to padlock their children's room to safeguard their crib and clothes. Lobato expresses remorse and his analyst suggests that he tell his family directly. The analyst questions Lobato as to what impedes him from doing so, and Lobato answers that he doesn't see the need to tell them anything because he thinks they're better off without him. The analyst then asks how Lobato could be so sure of that and tells him that our minds often create scenes that are far worse than what would actually happen and encourages Lobato to face his family again, which Lobato again rejects, rather adamantly this time, insisting that he can't face reality without drugs to ease the blow. Telminha asks Regininha about Mel, and Regininha tells her that Mel is at her home and that she's pregnant.
Said sits and glowers and speaks sharply to Jade, asking her what she wants. Jade tells Said that it's not her fault if Lucas is in Morocco because he has business dealings there. Said angrily points out that Lucas was seen by Ranya at their front door, not in the Medina or at some restaurant in Fez. Jade questions whether Ranya really saw Lucas or was just making it up because she's so filled with jealousy over their reconciliation. Ranya walks in just in time to hear Jade start to hurl insults about her, insults which quickly escalate into a full fledge attack. Said has to physically restrain Jade as she leaps across him in an effort to reach Ranya, who's being held back by Zoraide. Jade really gets into it and tries to kick herself free as Ali walks in to try to put an end to the ensuing fracas.

alajas de su mama. Reginiña esta queriendo dejar las drogas, por el hecho de no
morir. Ella explica que ha estado limpia ya tres mes y desea ser internada. Sin
enbargo necesita una linea de despedida. Nando la llama un fastidio.
Raposao y
Ligeiro llegan a donde esta Yvete y Laurinda. Yvete va a cambiar un texto del
poema. Ella sabe que Leoncito va a cerrar un contrato y lo hara en el mismo
restaurante porque Leoncito no es espontanio. Laurinda se mofa del auto de
Raposao y Ligeiro, llamandolo feo. Ellos defendienden su calcacha disiendo que
que tan bonito que Caetano Veloso pidio hacer uno para un amigo de Paraguay que
vive en El Salvador. Ambas mujeres toman un taxi, para que no sean vistas por
Leoncito. En el restaurante, Leoncito esta con sus clientes cuando oye su
nombre por el audio parlante, "Leonidas Ferras". "Leonidas, tenemos
un mensaje para ti de una mujer traicionada, herida y apasionada por falta de
amor." L.F., estas recibiendo un mensaje de amor ingrato." "Mi
ex-amor, y digo mi ex-amor, porque a partir de hoy, no quiero saber nada de
ti." No quiero hacer el papel de una de tus clientes mas que cojes de
chistes, ingenuos de la vida." Conseguistes el amor de esta mujer, igual
que tus clientes.
En la playa,
Odete no sabe como Noemia puede aguantar a Mustaffa. Noemia le explica que el
la conocio cuando ella hacia masajes. Karla le pide a su madre que no critique
maridos de otras mujeres. Sin enbargo Odette le dice que Noemia fue la la que
empezo a criticar. Karla , al sentir una punzada en el estomago hace que Noemia
y y Odette se preocupen. Odette no quiere que Karla de a luz en una playa tan
mediocre. Si fuera la Playa de Ramos seia diferente, porque solamente van la
gente chic como ella y su hija. Ademas este bebe es como si fuera con cheque en
blanco con solamente el puño y letra. Aliciña le dice a Miro que su tio se va hoy,
pero ahora no se sorprenda si tiene problemas con el ex-marido que le puede
causar unas escenas con llamdas y fastidios en publico. Miro suspira de
frustracion.
Clarisse deja
que Roger entre a su departamento, cuando ella lo encuentra vacio y hecho un
verdadero chiquero. Roger comenta que Aqui pasa un un huracan. Clarisse quiere

trata de asusana la situacion explicando que una madre no quiere ser separada

le dice a Ranya que Jade esta en la cocina adobando el carnero. En la sala,
Abdul le recuerda a Said las fechorias que hacia jade. Como el la trato,
comprandole joyas y como fue que le pago. Ali defiende a Jade, explicando que
ya se desculpo. Abdul le recuerda a Said de dos refueranes! "Con el muro
bajo, el pueblo brinca." y "No deje que el camello se encarge de la
tienda."
En Rio, Lucas
se desahoga con Maysa. Que desde que conocio el clon se siente diferente. Hasta
la gente lo ven diferente. E incluso ella misma. Cuando Maysa se defiende y le
dice que se tiene que acostumbrar a ver un clon, el rotundamente contesta que

Diogo. Ahora es el y el clon.
Said le dice

sertamen. Ni una llamada, nada. Leonidas le trata de explicar que no sabe lo
que hay en casa de el. Al salir como una tromba de su departamento, Leonidas
pone un rostro como si pensando, "La perpertua rubia tonta."
Yvete entra y
dice este es mi casa. Leonidas se va a ir, no sin antes Yvete preguntarle,
estas arrepentido. El responde, Si, de bucarte. Me perturbas.Al salir Leonidas,
Yvete se queda con los cachetes escolgados. Entonces entra Leonidas mirandola
como un el hombre enamorado que siempre ha sido. Ambos se besan y abrazan. En
el fondo , esta la musica, "Esta vida que nos convierte, que nos cuida y
nos ruge, que nos coje en su delirio, que se anuncia en las paredes. Este amor
que es tan sumiso y que nos da de mas.

esta en la la sala cuando Jade le dice que Ranya solamente quiere separlos. Ella
le hecha mil maldiciones a Ranya. Ella oye, y hace lo mismo. Jade casi le entra
a trompazos a Ranya, pero Said la agarra y Zoraide agarra a Ranya.

Jade discute com Ranya e revela que Said a pediu em casamento. Simone avisa a Deusa que Albieri vai ser julgado. Lucas pergunta a Dalva se ele era como Leo quando jovem. Lucas pede que Deusa o deixe ver o quarto de Leo de novo. Deusa revela a Lucas que Leo gosta de uma mulher chamada Jade. Leo e Jade se vêem. USA, 10/16/02. In Morocco, Jade tells Ali and Ranya that Said proposed and she accepted. Jade swears to Zoraide that she will make Jade's life a misery. Julio tells Albieri that Simone has filed charges. Albieri defends himself to Julio, tells him there would be no progress if scientists never moved forward. Alcinha has Escobar's luggage sent to the clinic. Julio tries to explain to Escobar that the apartment is in Alicinha's name, there is nothing he can do. Alicinha shows off her newly furnished apartment to Miro. Escobar takes his suitcases and goes to the apartment building. The lobby watchman has guards take him away, on orders of Alicinha. Simone tells Deusa that she has brought charges against Albieri. It means nothing to Deusa. Simone tells Deusa that you can't change what has already happened. Doña Mocinha tells her that Leonidas wants custody. Simone says she knows nothing of the law. Deusa tells Simone that Leonidas called her a substitute mother. Simone promises her support and leaves. Deusa tells her mother she doesn't trust anybody; these people keep calling her son a clone. Telmiña tells Maysa, Lucas and Dalva that Mel is pregnant. She says that Mel is in Reginha's house and wants to stay there for now. Lucas visits Deusa again, asks to see his room again. He begs for 5 minutes. In Brazil, in Mohammed's house, Amin (upset with Samira) blurts out that she has started to menstruate. Everybody but Samira, of course, is thrilled. Mohammed tells her to choose the prettiest veils in the shop, as many as she wants. Back in her room, Samira curses Amin. He swears he spoke without thinking. When Mohammed brings her a veil, she tells him she doesn't want to wear a veil. In Morocco, Jade goes off to the ruins where Leo is, too. They, of course, see each other. Leo tells her he is nothing like Lucas, will never be like him. He says he is sure he is nothing like him, doesn't want to be like him, would never be so depressed, so cold with people. He asks her if she believes him. He tells her he loves her, will never leave her, wants to marry her. He returns her jade to her. He tells her not to be afraid of him. He swears he would never leave her. She runs away from him, without her jade. Leo doesn't understand how similar his words have been to the words that Lucas spoke years before. Meanwhile, Lucas talks to Deusa about the veil, the veiled woman Lucas fell in love with. Deusa tells him of the woman Leo saw in Morocco, how he heard music, followed it, saw a woman dancing, her name is Jade. Deusa says the name must be common in Morocco, says that Leo said he would marry her. Lucas leaves and Deusa doesn't understand why, tells her relatives he didn't even say goodbye.
RECAP: WED 10/16 (Chapter 196) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-17-02 10:50 PDT Leo strikes out once again in his attempt to talk one of Ali's household servants to get Jade to come to the door so that he can return her jade stone. Ali warns Ranya and Jade that if they continue badmouthing each other and making Said's life miserable, he's liable to get rid of both of them. Jade gets her last digs, however, and haughtily tells Ranya that Said already asked her to marry him again and that she had accepted, news which pleases Ali greatly and distresses Ranya as she stomps off to her room. Ranya tells Zoraide that she wants Said all to herself, and that even if Jade remarries Said, she'll make Jade's life a living hell. Albieri tells Julio that scientists have to be willing to risk the disapproval of the court of public opinion and points out that if there hadn't been an Albieri to do the first autopsy, which in its time was considered sinful, we'd never have progressed to accepting autopsies as a commonplace procedure today. Edna comes in to assure Albieri that he'll come out okay from the proceedings that Simone has initiated and that she'll be by his side. Anita worries about the repercussions that the proceedings will have on the clinic.
Escobar carries on about the apartment being his and goes off to return the luggage that Alicinha dropped off. Alicinha shows off her apartment to Miro, and the two of them dance to a slow song. Escobar shows up at the apartment house and is refused entry by the doorman, who's following Alicinha's orders. Escobar calls a policeman over but is forced to leave the premises when the doorman shows the policeman a document that Alicinha had astutely given him, showing that she's the legal owner of the apartment. Simone goes to Deusa's house to tell her that she started proceedings against Albieri, news which doesn't impress Deusa because it won't change the fact that Albieri created Leo as a clone or that Leonidas now wants to adopt Leo as his son. Deusa tells Simone that what she really would have liked to hear from her was that she could get an order of protection to keep Leonidas and Albieri away from Leo. Simone tells Deusa that there was no way to undo how Leo was created and that even though her legal knowledge was limited, she thinks that Leo will have to be consulted in any adoption attempt by Leonidas. Simone tells Deusa that she had been duped as much as Deusa had and promises that she'll take Deusa's side in the legal proceedings.
Yvete happily picks out some jewelry as Leonidas looks on with that silly smile of his that he reserves for moments when Yvete has him wrapped around his finger. Tavinho comes by and tells Leonidas that there's no sign of Leo in Morocco. Yvete tells a skeptical Tavinho that she and Leonidas are getting married on the 30th of the month, news which Leonidas confirms. Telminha goes to the Ferraz house and tells them that Mel is pregnant and that she prefers to stay at Regininha's house for now. Maysa wistfully, and perhaps even wishfully, comments that Mel didn't call her and ask her for help. Telminha gently tells Maysa that Mel is quite lost at this time. Simone leaves after telling Deusa and Doña Mocinha that they can count on her and that she'll maintain contact with them. Doña Mocinha asks Deusa if she trusts Simone, and Deusa responds that she trust no one. Tia Lula comes home and tells them that she requested a mass for Diogo's soul so that it can rest in peace and leave Leo alone. Lucas tells Tavinho that he won't be going to the office again today. Lucas gazes at a photo of himself at Leo's age and remarks that life was good, but he hadn't known it.
Xande comes home from his first day of classes at the university. Doña Jura asks him about his face paint, and he explains that it was a freshman initiation rite. Lucas visits Deusa and asks to see Leo's room again. Telminha goes to see Xande at Doña Jura's, and Doña Jura warily, and rather coolly, tells her to have a seat and wait while Xande takes his bath. Zoraide goes food shopping and invites Jade to come along, but Jade prefers to stay home alone. Jade calls Zoraide back, but Zoraide is gone and Jade goes out after her and seems to be searching for her in the Medina. Samira searches for a way out, but this time there's no denying that she's menstruating because Amim sees her blood-stained dress and calls everyone's attention to it. Nazira and Khadija go over to congratulate Samira, and Mohamed tells Latiffa that they've been blessed. Mohamed tells Samira to pick out the prettiest veil in the store as Samira looks helplessly at Latiffa.
Jade goes to the ruins, as does Leo. Deusa tells Lucas that Leo met the woman with the veil that he wants to marry on his trip to Morocco with Albieri. Lucas asks Deusa how exactly Leo met the woman, and Deusa tells him that Leo had wandered through the house of a friend of Ali's, heard music and followed the music to one of the bedrooms, where he saw a woman dressed in a green belly-dancing outfit. As Deusa narrates the story, Lucas flashes back to how he first met Jade. Deusa finishes the story by saying that the woman's name is Jade. Leo and Jade see each other in the ruins. Jade smiles and tells Leo, "You've left me so many times already." Leo responds that he dreamed of her every day but couldn't see her face because she was wearing a veil and as he got closer to her, he'd wake up and not know who she was; but now after he saw her dancing at her uncle's house, he knows who she was. Jade remembers Zoraide's words about the past and the future crossing. Leo asks Jade if she too thinks he's a ghost, as Dalva does. Jade smiles and shakes her head no. Leo says that he knows why Jade is reacting the way she is; it's because they've told her that he's a clone. Jade gives Leo a slight nod, and Leo tells her not to believe it because he's nothing like Lucas and never will be like him, not even in 100 years, and that if there existed anyone completely different from him, it's Lucas. Jade says that she also believes it, and Leo responds that Lucas is a cold person, who is always depressed and acts like he's got no feelings.
Jade tells Leo that she can see that he doesn't like Lucas, and Leo agrees that he doesn't even like to look at Lucas and doesn't know why people say he's like him because if there's one thing he knows, it's that he'll never be like Lucas. Jade asks if he's really sure about that, and Leo assures her that he is and that there's not even the remotest risk that he'll turn out to be like Lucas and asks Jade if she believes him. Jade responds that 20 years ago she would have sworn no, but today she had seen a transformation occur. Leo tells Jade that he wants to marry her, that he loves her, and that he would never leave her. Leo shows Jade her jade necklace, which Jade reaches out for. Leo tells her he'll put in on her neck and that she shouldn't be afraid of him because he's Albieri's son and she already met him at her uncle's house. Leo looks at Jade and tells her that he thinks she's afraid of him because of Lucas and that she thinks he'll act like Lucas did. Leo again tells Jade that he loves her and would never leave her because she's the love of his life. Jade backs off and runs away. Leo calls after her as he holds the necklace in his hands. Jade covers her ears as she alternately hears Leo and Lucas' voices telling her that they'll never leave her.
Deusa asks Lucas if Jade is a common name in Morocco because he too had said that he fell in love with a woman named Jade. Lucas leaves abruptly, probably from the shock of realizing that the two Jades were one and the same. Jade looks visibly shaken as she recalls Lucas' words telling her that nothing or no one would separate them. Jade gets home and rushes into Zoraide's arms, telling her that she saw the shadow and that the shadow wanted to take her away with him. Jade begs Zoraide not lo let that happen. Zoraide puts Jade to bed and covers her with a quilt, seeing that Jade is now shivering from fright and has broken into a sweat. Jade starts to ramble on about how the shadow had tried to fool her with words just like Lucas had, but Zoraide tells her not to talk because she's running a fever. Jade begs Zoraide to tell her how Lucas had deceived her because she needs to hear it again.
Nazira, Mohamed, and Khadija still celebrate Samira's menstruation, and Samira still looks like she wished the earth would just swallow her up. Samira goes over to Amim and gives him a hard pinch, telling him that he'll pay for what he did. Amim apologizes and tells her he forgot that he wasn't supposed to say anything. Mohamed continues to count his blessings. Nazira can't understand why Samira isn't clapping for joy and instead looks like she's about to cry. Latiffa tries to pass it off as an emotional reaction on Samira's part, and encourages Samira to go with her to change her clothes. Latiffa tells Samira that they couldn't have kept it a secret forever, but Samira insists that Amim told on her on purpose. Amim tries to defend himself, but Samira hurls the usual curses at him. Latiffa sends Amim off to go ride his bike, and Mohamed comes in with an array of veils for Samira to choose from. Samira tells Mohamed that she doesn't want to wear a veil.

si, añandiendo que cuando Leo fue con Albieri para presentarle un amigo (Ali)
se esgarito por la casa de el, (Ali) sin nadie darse cuenta. Entonces Leo vio a
una mujer vestida de verde bailando con ropa como usan las odaliscas. Lucas al
hablar Deusa recuerda hace 20 años, la primera vez que vio a Jade bailar. Lucas
al preguntarle el nombre de la mujer que vio, ella contesto que debe ser nombre
comun en Marruecos; se llama Jade y se va a casarse con ella. En ese momento,

RECAP: THU 10/17 (Chapter 197) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-18-02 11:43 PDT Mohamed blames Latiffa for not having taught Samira anything. Samira pleads that no one at school wears a veil, and she doesn't want to be different from everybody else. Mohamed frets about looking bad at the mosque because his daughter has defied the religion and gives Samira an ultimatum: she either wears the veil or she doesn't leave the house. Mohamed leaves, and Samira shouts out after him that she won't leave the house. Latiffa bemoans her own fate and thinks that she'll be made into a sacrificial lamb. Nazira tells Amim and Khadija the story of Cinderella. Nazira, of course, is Cinderella, and Latiffa and Jade play the evil sisters-in-law. Zoraide also has a lead role as the evil stepmother, and Miro, of course, is Prince Charming. The story follows the traditional storyline with some minor adjustments. In Nazira's version, the genie transforms Nazira into a beautiful princess who's wearing a stunning white dress and her glass slippers and provides her with a magic carpet instead of a coach for her get to the ball. As Nazira finishes telling the story, with its traditional endingPrince Miro searches the kingdom for Nazira, finds her, and marries herSamira comes downstairs and declares again that she's not wearing a veil.
Odete approaches Ligeiro and Raposão to ask about messages appropriate for her to send via their message-mobile service to the father of Karla's baby when the baby is born. Noemia complains to Doña Jura that Mustafá had promised to respect her customs before they had gotten married, and now he had shown his true colors by objecting to just about everything she did. Doña Jura reminds her that she had warned her about that and asserts that she likes her men to be like Tião, nice and quiet, because she liked to be the one in charge of the volume control of what she had to hear from a man. Basilio comes along with the news that Odete was buying an apartment in Ramos and had already picked one out, and Doña Jura, as always, picks on him for being such a gossip. Telminha sits and waits for Xande as Doña Jura walks by and gives her a disapproving look. Doña Jura counsels Xande to keep focused on his studies and keep away from Mel. When Doña Jura questions Xande about the bill he paid for the household furnishings, Xande insists that the bill had nothing to do with Mel and assures her that there's no way he could consider living with Mel given Mel's current state. Doña Jura tells Xande to go tell Mel's friend, who's waiting for him downstairs. Xande goes downstairs where Telminha tells Xande that Mel is pregnant.
Maysa tells Dalva that no one is doing anything for Mel, what with Lucas wandering off to walk the streets and Leonidas involved with his wedding plans, not even to the extent of trying to look for her but instead they're merely waiting for Mel to show some sign of life. Maysa worries that Mel is out there pregnant and still consuming drugs and sobs uncontrollably that they simply have got to find Mel and get her into treatment. Lobato talks about how difficult it is for parents to realize that they can't do anything to make their children stop using drugs; that the drug user won't be moved by parents' threats or tears because until the drug user is ready to stop on his own accord, nothing nor no one will make him stop because the drug user no longer cares about anyone, including himself. Clarice points out to Carol the missing items that Nando took. A drug dealer shows up at the door to collect Nando's drug debt. Lobato tells his analyst that many a drug dealer, police officer, doctor and lawyer showed up at his doorstep, making his family have to deal with the negative side of the drug life without even being able to experience the pleasure that the drug gave him. Carol counsels Clarice to get a hold of Escobar so that he can help her with the situation. Roger calls and Clarice cancels her trip after telling him that she'll explain everything to him tonight. Clarice tells Carol that she just can't leave on a trip because something could happen to Nando.
Regininha shows Mel some coke she scored and tells her she's not sharing it; it's all for her alone. Mel tells Regininha that on Monday, she'll go look for a job and that she hopes to be able to rent an apartment and have her child on her own with no help from anyone. Regininha asks her what kind of job she could get, and Mel tells her she'll look through the newspaper and easily find a job because she can speak three languages. Nando comes by, and he and Regininha get into a brawl over some girl he had slept with before he met Regininha. While they fight it out, Mel takes the coke out of Regininha's jacket and leaves. Lobato talks to his analyst about being out of control and hitting rock bottom. Xande tells Telminha that he'll bring Mel home to Doña Jura's, even if he has to tie her up to get her there, because he wants to make sure that Mel doesn't do any of her crazy things now. Telminha questions Xande if the baby that Mel is carrying is his, and Xande asks her why she's asking him that. Telminha says it's because she no longer knows anything about Mel's life. Xande asks Telminha where he found Mel and wonders whether she might be nearby.
Anita and Edna see that Escobar has returned to the office. Anita feels sympathy for him, but Edna thinks he got what he deserved. Escobar calls Nefertiti but hangs up without saying anything when Alicinha answers. Escobar tells Anita that he'll get a lawyer because there has to be a way out of his situation with the apartment. Zein asks Alicinha who called, and she tells him that whoever it was hung up. Alicinha asks Zein if he was expecting a call, and Zein cryptically tells her that he wasn't expecting a call from anyone in particular but that one can always hope. Alicinha remarks that everyone was surprised at how he was acting over his latest love because of his past history of loving them and leaving them. Zein tells Alicinha not to take his past seriously because all of us are vulnerable. Roger tells Zein that he made all the arrangements to go away with Clarice, and she canceled out on him at the last minute. Alicinha walks in to give Roger some papers to sign and hears Roger complaining to Zein that he was stuck going to Paris by himself. Zein suggests that he ask someone else, and Alicinha puts in her bid for consideration by saying that it's unbelievable that someone would refuse a trip to Paris. After Alicinha leaves, Zein suggests to Roger that he invite Alicinha to go with him to Paris, and Roger answers that maybe he will. Carol advises Clarice that it might be best for her to be upfront with Roger about Nando, but Clarice can't bring herself to tell Roger that Nando is a drug addict.
Tavinho tells Leonidas that he's still revising his legal papers for the proceedings. Lobato shows up with all the revisions he made and hands the papers over to Tavinho, who takes them out to Leonidas while Lobato takes his flask out and takes a swig of whiskey. Dalva tells Xande that they've had no word from Mel and then asks Lucas what they should do. Lucas tells Dalva to leave him alone and not ask him anything because he's in a state of bewilderment with so many things happening in his life. Lucas goes upstairs and recalls Deusa's words that Leo had gone to Morocco to find Jade. Lucas then calls Clarice and tells her to get him a flight to Morocco, today if possible, which Maysa overhears as she walks into the room. Maysa confronts Lucas and shouts, "What did you say? Where are you going?" Lucas tells her he has to do something for himself because he can no longer take what's going on in that house. Maysa can't believe her ears that Lucas is going to leave her to cope with things. Lucas insists that she can't do anything; he can't do anything; and he's suffocated. Maysa is suffocated too and lashes into Lucas, telling him that Mel is his daughter too, that she's not pregnant, and he's running off to Morocco on a pleasure trip. Lucas tells her that it's not a pleasure trip, that he's going to Morocco to find a point of equilibrium in his life. Maysa responds, "In Jade? You're no longer 20 years old so stop acting like a 20-year-old, running off to hide behind your adolescent romance." Maysa reminds Lucas that his daughter is killing herself, and Lucas shouts back, "What do you want me to do? Die with her to prove that I'm a good father." Lucas continues and adds that now that there's a copy of him doing all the things he couldn't do, it would be easy to kill himself and no one would really miss him. Lucas goes to get his luggage, and Maysa tells him she should have known to expect this of him because he's always been a coward. Lucas lamely says that people defend themselves how they see fit.
Mel stops and looks at a window display of baby things, but the security guard tells her she can't go inside the store. Ali, Zoraide, and Said gather around Jade's bed to see how she's feeling, and Ranya lurks in the background. Zoraide tells them that Jade's fever broke, and Jade says she's fine now. Said tells Jade that he's buying their return ticket today, and they'll all leave tomorrow. Said leaves, as does Ali, and Zoraide starts to pack Jade's luggage. Jade tells Zoraide that Leo had looked at her like Lucas did when he was in love with her. Jade jumps up and grabs her veil to go out and tells Zoraide that she needs to go to the ruins one last time to say goodbye to her old life before leaving for Brazil tomorrow and starting her new life, a life with no room for Lucas nor for memories of him. Zoraide trails after Jade to try to dissuade her from going. Ranya stands in the shadows and hears Jade say that she needs to see the ruins. Jade leaves, and Ranya cattily tells Zoraide that Jade went to meet with her Brazilian lover and that she'll tell Ali and Said.
Edna talks to the tour guide, who assures her that he found Leo and that the tour group will be returning at the beginning of next week. Amalia shows up to interview Albieri and tells him that word has it that he had done an experiment with making a clone and asks him point blank to confirm it. Jade walks slowly and solemnly through the ruins. Leo sees her, and they start walking towards each other. As Lucas gets ready to leave for Morocco, Maysa yells at him to leave, calls him a coward again, and tells him to go chase after Jade because no one in that house has any use for him. Lucas turns around to leave but sees Mel, who rushes into his arms and sobs for him to save her. Jade and Leo continue to look at each other without saying a word. Leo smiles and kisses Jade passionately. Mel sobs and tells Lucas that she doesn't want to die. Lucas assures her that he's right there and that he's there for her. Maysa takes Mel's hand and sobs as well.
Leo and Jade continue to kiss with increasing passion as he holds her necklace in his hand. Ranya bends Zoraide's ear off that Jade doesn't love Said and accuses Zoraide of conspiring with Jade to continue to fool Said while Jade goes off with her Brazilian lover. Ranya again asserts that she's going to prevent Jade from marrying Said and will tell Said what she knows about Jade. Ali comes home and asks if Jade was able to get out of bed. Ranya, ready, willing and able to capitalize on the situation, tells Ali that not only did Jade get up, she went out to the ruins to meet with her Brazilian lover. Zoraide tells Ali that Ranya is just making that up but admits that Jade did go out, but just to see the familiar places she likes so much and was about to leave behind. Ali warns Ranya that if she doesn't have the four witnesses to back up her accusations, she risks the 80 latigazos for having defamed Jade. Ranya then asks Ali if there's a punishment for a witness who won't come forward to testify to what she saw, and Zoraide lowers her head as Ali affirms that Allah would take care of it. Ranya leaves, and Zoraide starts to explain herself to Ali, but he cuts her off and tells her not to conspire with Jade. Ali worries about his own punishment when his day comes to appear before Allah, and tells Zoraide that he's going out to grab Jade by the hair if necessary and drag her back to the house. As he leaves, Ali tells Zoraide to tell Said that Jade had gone out with him if Said should return.
Resumen de
10/17 Author: Nikolas (---) Date: 10-18-02 01:10 PDT Mohamed se siente ofendido y
furioso que Samira no quiera usa el velo porque toda mujeres religiosa en su
familia lo han usado, para no exhibirse en publico. En incluso, Mohamed accusa
a Latiffa de no haberle enseñado nada, lo cual Latiffa esta preocupada porque
cree que sera sacrificada como un carnero. El papa de Samira no sabe como podra
enseñar el rostro en la medina con una hija que quiere ser como las
oxidentanles. Cuando Samira va a la sala, le hace claro que no quiere usar
velo, ni adentro o afuera de la casa, porque sus compañeras no la tienen que
usar. Cuando se retira Samira de la sala, Nazira empieza a contarle a Kadija y
Amin de "La cenicienta, Nazira. Ella cuenta el mismo argumento de la
fabula de "Cenicicienta. Las dos cuñada, Latiffa y Jade y su madrastra,
Zoraide, (revelando su cabellera,) no levantan un dedo para ayudarla. Que
Nazira la cenicienta se dobla el lomo haciendo todo. El Principe Miro proclama
que se casara y tendra una fiesta, las dos cuñadas y madrastra se enjelgan para
ir, en lo que Nazira se queda. Hay un genio que la saluda, "Salamau
Aleicum." Al decir "Abracadabra", Nazira esta enjegada, tambien.
El genio le convierte la escoba en un tapete. El le explica que antes de la
decima tercera oracion, se tendra que regresar volando. Ella va a la fiesta. Cuando
Miro la ve, ignora a las otras señoritas que vinieron y tiene ojos para Nazira.
Al tocar el decimo tercero oracion, ella se monta en el tapete pero se le cae
al suelo, su taco alto. Ella llega a casa a tiempo. Principe Miro va casa por
casa hasta encontrar la dueña del taco alto. En ese momento, Principe Miro
trata de ponerle el taco alto a Latiffa, Jade y Zorade, Sin exito. Pero cuando
ve a Nazira le pone el taco alto al pie, le cabe. El Principe Miro acaricia el
pie tatuado de la Princes Nazira, y ambos viven juntos.
Odette quiere
pedir hacer un mensaje y le da la orden a Ligeiro y Raposao para mandarle al
futuro papa de su nieta las buenas noticias. Noemia se queja de Mustaffa que ni
puede salir al balcon, y que ya saco sus garras. Jurita le reprocha en la que
se metio, poprque ningun hombre le dice a ella como expresarse. Ni el mismo
Thiao. Antes de llegar Odette y Karla, vino corriendo Basi con la noticia que
Odette y Karla ya eligieron un departamento en las Playas de Ramos. Jurita no
puede esperar hasta que Xande le de su diploma para colgarlo en la pared del
bar. Jurita le dice aconseja que se concentre con sus estudios, y olvide a Mel.
Xande le responde, que el no puede seguir viviendo una vida cerca de
destruccion al lado de Mel. Que ella tiene que arreglarse o el vivira sin ella.
En la casa
Ferraz, Maysa se desahoga con Dalvita, que Lucas esta en la calle, en lo que
Leonidas esta planeando su boda, sin preocuparse que Mel este Sabe Dios donde
preñada y drogada. El medico le dijo a Maysa que el bebe puede nacer con
anormalidades. Dalvita responde, "Misericordia!"
Telmiña va a
informarle a Xande que Mel esta preñada, y si el es el padre. Al saber el
porque de su pregunta, Telmiña le dice que Mel ha estado viviendo una vida
diferente y ya no la conoce. Xande esta sorprendido por el estado de Mel.
En la clinica,
Escobar llama a Aliciña pero al contestar, el no habla y cuelga el telefono. Anita
le expresa a Edna, no debe compadecerse de Escobar, pero no puede ayudarlo. Edna
le responda que no fue por falta de consejos.Despues de todo, mira lo que le
hizo a ella.
Cuando llega
Lucas a la casa, Dalvita pregunta por Mel pero el le responde que lo deje
ahora. El hace un pasaje Marruecos, cuando Maysa oye todo. Ella le reclama que
ahora que Mel esta preñada quiere irse a Marruecos. Maysa le reprocha que en
las situaciones se debe olvidar de Jade. Lucas le sale que ya Mel decidio hacer
su vida, ahora sera el. Maysa le grita que es un cobarde, y no es un hombre
En Fes, cuando
Jade viene en si, Said, Zoraide y Ali estan a su lado preguntandoles como esta.
Al contestar que mejor, Said decide hacer las reservaciones pensando que sera
mejor salir a Rio mañana. Despues que se van los hombres, Jade se pone su velo
porque quiere ir tiene que visitar las ruinas. Zoraide le ruega que no lo haga
y si va, deja que la acompañe. Jade se va sola, y Ranya sale y le reprocha a
Zoraide que ella conspira con Jade, pero Zoraide niega cualquier cosa. Ranya
estara segura que Ali y Said se enteren.
Edna anuncia
que la periodista portuguesa ha llegado para entrevistar a Albieri. Cuando
entra Amalia, y se presenta a Albieri, ella saca un cassette grabadora y desea
que Albieri verifique que hizo el primer clon humano. Albieri ni affirma o
niega; se queda callado.
Otra vez, en
Fes, Jade corre por la ruinas y tocan la cancion, "Todo por amor". Leo
se encuentra con Jade y se besan apasionadamente. En Brasil estan Maysa y Lucas
discutiendo. Es una escena en Fes, la siguiente en Brasil, atras y para alante.
Lobato esta
hablano rapido. Lo unico que pude captar fue; El dependiente se conviene con
otras drogas.
Clarisse le
cuenta Carol que va a mudar todo lo mas valioso a alcoba y cambiar la
cerradura. Toca el timbre, cuando Clarisse contesta un hombre con cara de
cantre. Quiere hablar con Nando. Ella le dice que no esta. Por como 10 segundos
Clarisse y el hombre tienen una conversacion mimica sin palabras. Al regresa
Clarisse informa a Carol que ese hombre venia por Nando, porque le debe dinero
de drogas. Ella entonces decide llamar a Roger y cancellar el viaje a Paris.
Reginiña esta
en la playa Mel, y le muestra una droga. Mel insiste que puede cuidar al bebe,
sin ayuda de los padres. Despues de todo, ella sabe tres idiomas. Nando viene a
la playa y Reginiña esta encojonada porque ella se entero que el le jugo trompo
con ella con una fulana de tal. Ella le pega a Nando y el le jalo el cabello a
ella. Estan como en una lucha libre coed.
Ranya, Zoraide
y Ali estan en la sala de el, cuando Ranya le dice a Ali que Jade salio a las
ruinas, y que ella nunca ha amado a Said. Ali se dice que mida sus palabras,
porque el pecado mas grande en los ojos de un tal profeta fulano de tal es la
calumnia. Ranya le dice que Zoraide oyo cuando Jade iria a las ruinas. Zoraide
responde que lo siente que ella solamente oyo cuando Jade le dijo que iria a la
medina porque no sabria cuando regresaria a Fes. Ranya se siente frustrada. Ella
entonces le pregunta el castigo por el que conspira con alguien cometer una
fechoria. Ali dice eso sera decision de Allah. Ali explica que un profeta
fulano de tal dijo, es haram calumniar a una mujer cabal. No se le puede
calumniar, responde Ali, porque el que calumnia recibira 80 latigazos. Al Ali
preguntar donde estan los cuatro testigos, Ranya contesta, desaparecieron. Ranya
se retira de la sala. Al tratar de hablar Zoraide, Ali hace una mueca y dice
que no la ayudes con sus conspiraciones. Ali explica que vivio esperando que
Allah en el dia del juicio lo viera como un hombre que siguio sus enseñasas,
pero desde que vino Jade, no hay esperanza que tenga una almohada de oro. Zoraide
lo consuela, diciendole, Allah pondra tus culpas en balance con tu corazon,
cruzando en balance su culpa. Zoraide le dice, por pena, a Ali y temor a Jade,
que ella esta en las ruinas. Ali dice que traera a Jade de regreso, aunque sea
por el pelo. Si viene Said, para los efectos, Jade salio conmigo.
Se me olvido
decirles, que al salir Lucas de casa, entro Mel, y decia que no queria morir. Lucas
le dio un abrazo fingido. Maysa bajo las escaleras sollañdo y contenta. Mel
estaba en una tienda, cuando un hombre le dijo que se tenia que ir!
Los adelantos
para mañana; Mel pide una plegaria para tener su bebe. Deusa recibe un
citatorio Y Ali se le cae la boca, cuando encuentra a Leo besando a Jade.

RECAP: FRI 10/18 (Chapter 198) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-19-02 12:54 PDT
Leo tells Jade that he loves her. Jade touches his face and calls him Lucas. Leo tells her he's not Lucas; he's Leo. Jade then says, "What a crazy thing!" Leo tells Jade that he spent his entire life wandering from one place to another looking for something that he didn't even know what it was and it was her. Jade, still talking as if he were Lucas, tells him that she's heard enough and doesn't want to hear what he's saying because she ruined her life because of him and won't ruin it again, but then smiles as she touches his face and asks him to repeat what he had said. Leo repeats that he had spent his entire life looking for her and then asks her if she believes him now. Jade, still smiling, says that she wanted to hear it one last time because when she leaves, she'll be starting a new life and wanted to forget everything that happened before, everything she had lived through before. Leo tells Jade that he'd go across the world again and find her. Jade answers that she had forgotten him and questions why he had to return to make her remember him.
Jade thinks about her first time she kissed Lucas and once again looks at Leo and calls him Lucas. Leo tells her not to call him Lucas because he's not Lucas. Jade thinks about the first time she and Lucas made love and then tells Leo that she wants to raise her daughter because Khadija needs her and she would make any sacrifice to be with her. Jade continues and says that she was no longer 18 years old like she was back in those days, and Leo looks at her and asks, "What days? Leo tells Jade that he can feel that she loves him, and Jade looks at Leo with a pained look and tells him that she shouldn't be there and questions why she can't undo the past and keeps falling into the same trap. Leo responds that he wasn't going to let her go because he came to see her and to tell her thatJade puts her hand over Leo's mouth to keep him from finishing and tells him that he doesn't have to say anything more. Leo again tells Jade that he loves her and repeats it several times. They kiss again but separate quickly when Jade hears Ali calling her name. Ali wanders in, glances at both of them, and exclaims that things can't start up all over again. Ali turns to face Leo and asks him what he's doing there and if Albieri had brought him there. Leo says he came on his own on a tour. Ali lashes into Leo and accuses him of having brought a tempest into his house, a tempest that will rip the roof right off the house and drag the house through the Medina. Poor Leo looks over at Jade and asks, "What's up with him?" Jade, who's cowering behind a pillar to protect herself from Ali's wrath, doesn't answer. Ali continues to shout at Leo and asks, "That's what you came for?" Leo answers that he came to see Jade. Ali yells "No, No, No!!!" and orders Leo to return to his hotel, grabbing him by the arm to get him moving. As Leo leaves, he tells himself that Ali too is afraid of him. Ali, still fuming, goes back to Jade and tells her that the time has come for her to make her choice, either go forward or go back.
Amalia tells Albieri that he didn't answer her question, "Did he or did he not try to make a clone?" Albieri tells her that he'll speak about that some other time. Amalia responds that she'll take his answer as a yes, that he did do the experiment, but doesn't want to talk about it now. Albieri tells her not to come to any conclusions, and Amalia wants to know when she'll be able to interview him again. Edna tells her to call her, and she'll set it up. Tavinho reprimands Cecéu for having mentioned the clone to Amalia and tells him he has to be more discreet in telling people things that go on in the office. Cecéu tells Tavinho that he didn't tell anyone except Amalia and that Amalia was his girlfriend. Escobar come in to get some legal advice from Tavinho. Carol asks Cecéu if he knows anything about Nando. Cecéu tells her that Nando disappeared but that a mutual friend of theirs had seen him all dirty, looking like a street bum.
Mel again pleads that she doesn't want to die, and Maysa reassures her that she won't. Lucas adds that they're all there to take care of her. Mel again talks about not wanting to die and wanting to have her baby and says that she wants to quit drugs but can't find a way to do it. Lucas tells her she just needs a little more will power, and Maysa assures her that she's always had a lot of will power. Mel removes the drugs she had stashed in her backpack and tells them to get them away from her or else she would take them, and she didn't want to harm her baby. Lobato talks about the time when a drug addict consciously realizes that drugs will kill him, but yet without the drugs the addict feels like he's dead and can only feel alive by using the drugs; otherwise your life becomes unbearable. Maysa and Lucas take Mel upstairs to her room, and she sobs and begs them to close the door and lock her in, which they do. Maysa sobs in Lucas' arms after they lock Mel up in her room.
Lobato talks about having learned that drugs are more powerful that you are and will always be more powerful and says that there should be a force more powerful than drugs, something to give him the strength to leave drugs. Lobato adds that some people find that strength in their religion, others in psychoanalysis, and still others in self help groups, all of which are valid routes to heal oneself. Maysa and Dalva sit downstairs as Mel continues to shout that she doesn't want to die. Lucas is on the phone making arrangements to have Mel committed to a treatment center, and Maysa sobs and wonders why they were chosen to live out this nightmare and how Mel, who had never smoked or drank, had ended up being a drug addict. Dalva also sobs says that things like that can happen to anyone. Lucas comes in and tells them he found a treatment center for Mel.
Odete gets all excited because some media people are over at Doña Jura's. Karla tells Odete to go to Doña Jura's by herself because she's feeling nauseous. Doña Jura is being interviewed by a television reporter about her empanadas. Basilio rushes over to tell Mohamed, but gets a cool reception. Amim apologetically tells Basilio that Mohamed is annoyed because Samira doesn't want to wear a veil. Samira tries to explain to Nazira that in her world no one wears a veil, but Nazira can't understand why a woman wouldn't want to wear a veil and tries to guilt trip Samira by telling her that no woman in the family has ever gone without a veil. Latiffa overhears Samira and prays for Allah to enlighten Samira so that Mohamed doesn't divorce her. Odete makes sure to get herself in camera range as she goes over to Doña Jura and raves about her empanadas. Mohamed orders Amim to turn around and tell Latiffa that she shouldn't be exhibiting her body, even though he easily could have done it himself. Edvaldo smiles for the camera, but quickly loses his smile when Basilio comes by and whispers that there's a policeman there looking for him. Deusa receives a court summons for her and Leo to appear before a judge on the 28th of the month. Deusa asks Doña Mocinha and Tia Lula why Leo is a clone now, and yet when he was born, no one said anything to her about his being a clone.
Ali drags Jade back to the house while Leo looks on from the Medina. Ali shouts at Jade that if she wants to relive her past, she'll do it alone because he's been there, done that, and has no intention of doing it again or of dirtying himself before Allah for her again. Jade insists that she doesn't want to relive her past, that she only wanted to see her old familiar places, much as someone might go back to visit a house where they had once lived to recall the memories of that place. Ali, still seething, tells Jade that he hopes Allah protects her from herself, as he walks away. Jade seeks her usual solace in Zoraide's arms and tells her that she shouldn't have let her go to the ruins because while she can turn her back on Lucas, she can't do it to Lucas' shadow because when she's near the shadow, she regresses in time and feels like everything can be like it was back then. Said walks in and Jade asks him if he's got their flight ticket and looks relieved when he shows them to her.
Tavinho thanks Lobato for his help with Escobar's case and tells him that he owes him another one. Lobato tells him to forget about it. Tavinho goes out and excuses himself to Escobar, telling him that he had to give a colleague some legal advice, which of course is an outright lie. Tavinho tells Escobar that his chances are slim to none, but Escobar asks him to do whatever he can and to keep the matter a secret from Clarice, which Tavinho agrees to do. As he walks out with Escobar, Tavinho virtually ignores Lobato when Lobato calls out to him. Lobato seeks comfort in his flask, but gets caught by Leonidas who walks in unannounced. Lobato denies he was drinking and says he was just checking to see if the top of the flask was working because he had just had it repaired. Leonidas starts to lecture Lobato about his drinking, but Lobato goes into some long-winded poetic discourse from Fernando Pessoa, and Leonidas gives up, as he looks at Lobato with a bemused, confused, or perhaps even amused look on his face. Dalva starts to talk to Maysa about Diogo's reappearance, but Maysa cuts her short and tells her she doesn't have the head to listen to her.
Aninha takes Telminha upstairs to Xande's room, and Telminha happily announces that Mel has returned home and had asked her parents for help. Xande tells Telminha to wait for him to clean up so that they can go see Mel and leaves Telminha alone with Aninha. Aninha mentions that Doña Jura doesn't approve of Xande's relationship with Mel, and Telminha assures her that she'll feel differently now. Telminha lets out that Mel is pregnant, thinking that Xande had already told them at the bar, and makes Aninha promise that she won't say anything. Aninha assures her that she's no Basilio, but proves she's no better as she spills the beans to Doña Jura and tells her that she's about to be a grandmother. Basilio gulps down a glass of water that Aninha had asked him to give Doña Jura in preparation for her big news.
Yvete tells Leonidas that there's no way she's going to testify against Deusa, but Leonidas convinces her to change her mind after he tells her that all she has to do is testify as to what she knows. Leonidas invites Yvete to go home with him for dinner, and Laurinda helps her pick out a dress to wear. Escobar goes to Nefertiti to talk to Alicinha, and she point blank tells him she's never returning the apartment because she's got to think of herself. Alicinha dumfounds Escobar when she complains to him about the shabby way he treated Clarice and uses that as a justification for keeping the apartment because if he treated Clarice so poorly, imagine what he'd do to her when he fell out of love with her. Escobar tells Clarice that he tried to come to an amicable agreement with her, but now it was no more Mr. Nice Guy and he was contacting a lawyer. Alicinha tells him to do whatever he wants and gets up and leaves to talk to Roger. Roger compliments Alicinha on always being in such a good mood and asks her if she's ever been to Paris. Alicinha replies that she hasn't but she's dying to go.
Yvete walks in the house with Leonidas and gets a lukewarm reception from both Maysa and Dalva. Leonidas asks what's going on, and Dalva tells him that Mel came home. Leonidas is happy at the news but can't understand Dalva and Maysa's somber look. Maysa takes Leonidas aside and tells him that Mel is pregnant. Meanwhile Dalva asks Yvete about Leo's whereabouts, and Yvete tells her that Leo disappeared again but would surely be back soon. The doorbell rings and it's Xande and Telminha. Xande asks Dalva how Mel is, and Maysa answers for Dalva and tells Xande that Mel is resting. Leo apparently never rests as stands across the way from Ali's house and gazes up, hoping to catch a glimpse of Jade as he holds her necklace in his hands and smiles.
Ranya and Jade exchange glares while Zoraide holds Munir, who's surrounded by Karima and Sumaya. Zoraide says that a son is a blessing for any family, and Ranya smugly looks at Jade while Zoraide continues and explains to Sumaya that boys are valued because they extend the family name. Ali tells Said that the house will seem empty after they leave, and Said assures him that they'll be back often with Munir because he want Munir raised close to the customs, which Abdul fully endorses. Ali tells Said that they too will go to Brazil to see Munir, but Abdul of course, insists that he's not stepping one foot in Brazil again. Abdul criticizes Mohamed's house, and Ali comes to Mohamed defense about how he's bringing up his children. Abdul carries on about that "depraved machine," the television, that Mohamed has in the house and shudders at the thought of a television and the holy book coexisting under the same roof. Jade goes over to join the women fussing over Munir, but Ranya rushes over to take Munir out of Zoraide's arms, claiming that he's starting to cry and needs to sleep.
Khadija tells two of her friends and Duda that they'll meet her mother when she returns from Morocco with her father, who went to Morocco to get her and marry her again. Duda asks if Said divorced the other one, and Khadija explains that Ranya is still Said's wife too. Duda is incredulous that Said has two wives and really looks shocked when Khadija tells him that her uncle Ali has four wives. Amina tells one of the servants not to change anything because Ranya is now the first wife and Jade will return as the second wife. Said announces that he spoke to the sheik and the marriage will be a simple one because he's anxious to get back to Brazil. Abdul remarks that he doesn't understand why a person would want to partake of the same poison a second time, which gets a rise out of Ali who exclaims, "Abdul!!" Jade excuses herself and says she's going to go lie down because she had a headache. Said tells Abdul that Jade hadn't been feeling well that morning, and Ranya, not to miss a golden opportunity to get her digs into Jade, pipes in that Jade recovered quickly and even went out later. Jade snaps to attention, and Said snaps "Went Out? How?" Zoraide tries to stop Ranya by frowning at her and saying, "Ranya!!" but Ranya's got center stage and knows it and declares that Jade went to the ruins with Tio Ali and that Ali had gone back later to pick her up. Ranya turns to Ali for verification and says, "Right?" Ali looks quite uncomfortable as Said stares at him and waits for his reply.

10/18 Author: Nikolas (---) Date: 10-19-02 02:35 PDT
Se oye el
sonido del desierto. Despues que acaban de besarse Jade y Leo, ella lo llama
Lucas, haciendo que el se perturbe y responda, que el no es Lucas, sino Leo. El
le explica a Jade que buscaba a toda su vida un lado, preocurando encontrar lo
que no sabia que estaba vacio en su vida, y era ella, lo que lo hizo lleno. Jade
le pida que repita lo que acaba de decir, cual lo hace. Jade entonces le exige
que Baste. E incluso, Jade le explica a Leo que ella ruino ella misma su vida
buscandolo, (Lucas) y que no lo haras otra vez! Añade que al salir de estas
ruinas empezara otra vida nueva vida. En los momentos que hablan, Jade y Leo
ella recuerda hace 20 años cuando ella bailo para Lucas, y cuando hicieron el
amor donde se veian desnudos tras una cortina finita. Ella sigue explicando que
ya no tiene 18 años, y ahora quiere criar a su hija. No es como ese tiempo, ya
no existe. Leo le proclama su amor a Jade. En ese momento, Ali esta caminando
por las ruinas, llamando a Jade. Cuando el encuentra a Jade y Leo juntos, se le
cae la boca a suelo, casi se le salen los ojos, y se pone mas hincho que una
malanga. Ali le jala el brazo a Jade, y le pregunta a Leo si vino con Albieri.
Al decirle que esta en una excurcion, Ali le dice que regrese a su hotel o que
se pinte de donde vino. Ali al regresar a casa con ella, le hace a Jade
decidir, si ir para atras o para adelante. Zoraide, que es siempre la sacame de
apurros de Jade esta en la sala. Ali explica que ya ha cubierto muchos de sus
pecados, y es algo que Allah no tolerara. El no quiere que se desrumbe su casa.
En Rio, Amalia
esta en la clinica y quiere la verificacion si Albieri creo el primer clon
humano. Al contestar que ahora no es la hora perfecta de contestar esa
pregunta, Amalia lo toma como un si. Pero Albieri le dice que habran
consequecias si el contesta ahora. Albieri le hace un gesto a Edna para sacar
Amalia de la oficina. Amalia queria saber cuando podia rregresar, y Edna hablo
por el, diciendole que llame otra vez, para hacer otra cita. Taviño regaña a
Ceceu por haber abierto el pico y soplare a Amalia que Leo es un clon. Ceceu se
defiende, con que Amalia no es simplemente cualquier persona, pero su novia. Esto
le sorprende a Taviño. Taviño, en la oficina de Lobato, le da las gracias por
su consejo en cuanto el asunto de Escobar y el departamento. Cuando Escobar
minutos despues entra para ver lo que puede hacer, el basicamente le dice que
nada. legalmente Escobar cedio su departamento a nombre de Alicinha. Taviño
toma la gloria, explicando que el se entero de todo eso. Fue Lobato el quien le
dio esa ayuda, y Lobato oyo todo el auje que Taviño se daba. Por eso Taviño fue
las gracias a Lobato. Maysa esta con la sala, y Dalvita como el paño de
lagrimas, preguntado que porque de todas las familias, le toco este martirio a
los Ferraz. Mel, que siempre fue aplicada en sus estudios y no le faltaba nada,
y siempre le enculcaron a ella los peligros de las drogas. Donde fallaron.
Dalvita contesto que son pruebas q1ue nos manda el Señor. Lucas entra y les
dice a Dalvita y Maysa que ya encontro una clinica. Maysa desea saber si es
buena. Mel les pide a Lucas, Davita y Maysa que no quiere morir. Desea vivir
para su hijo, y ella entonces saca una mano llena de drogas. Mel misma les pide
a sus padres que la encieren en su alcoba con llave. Ella se ve que se pone de
posicion con las rodillas hacia ella. Odette se esta arreglando para meter el
pico; periodistas entrevitan a Jurita sobre su famosa comida. Karla no fue por
tener nauseas. Jurita o Odete (se me olvido quien fue,) dijo que hasta Ana
Maria Braga le encanta la comida de Jurita. Mo ve a Latiffa en el balcon, con
una cara triste. El le dice a Amin, que le diga a su mama que no sea
exhibicionista, y se meta a casa. Amin, estando entre una pared y espada, le
cumple con voz de tristeza a su mama. Como si estuviera a su lado. Nazirita, y
Kadija le dicen que no hay nada mas bello que los hombres admiren que una mujer
que use velo. Samira le responde a su tia, que entonces no sabran el color de
cabello de la muchacha. Nazira explica que todo eso es el misterio de tener
puesto un velo.
Deusa recibe
el citatorio para aparecer antes en juez en el tribunal, para la fecha del 28. Ella
le pregunta a su mama y tia que porque cuando Leo era niño, no era clon, pero
ahora que es hombre, lo es.
En Fes, sigue
la coversacion entre Ali y Jade. El le explica que sera la ultima vez que se
quemara por ella. Despues la deja salir y formar la vida que quiera.
Jade le
asegura que nunca traicinara a Said, jamas. En ese momento entra Said, y Jade
le pregunta si tiene los boletos. En ese momento, Said saca
....................................................................hay, que
mentes tan sucias tien! O sere yo? Soy un niño travieso, los boletos.
En Brasil,
otra vez, Taviño le explica que le da el caso de peridido. Y aunque Escobar
tiene testigos a su favor, el caso es reevertible. Lobato entra, jalao y recita
poesias. Leonidas le reprocha a Lobato por estar jalao; (parece que se levanto
con la mona), esa parte no le hice caso, como Lobato tan rapido. y casi todo lo
que dice, no vale ni una perra roja.
Telmiña va a
ver a Xande para informarle que Mel regreso. Al pedirle que espere, ella se
safa, creyendo que Anina esta enterada que Mel esta preñada. Al mostrar que no
sabia nada, le pide a la inclenca de Anina que lo guarde secreto. Ella es igual
que Basilio. Anina le pide a Basilio que le traiga agua a Jurita. Jurita dice
no tener sed, pero Anina se lo trae de todas manera. Ella le dice, que Mel va a
tener un bebe y Xande es el papito. Anina, agrega, que va a ser abuela. Jurita
pone sus dedos sobre la frente, y reclama, "No es broma, no."
Leonidas le
pide a Yvete que testifique en su favor, la cual decide hacer. El entonces es
invitada a casa para cenar. Su oportunidad para afeitar el gato. Maysa la
saluda nerviosamente, y Dalvita le reclama donde esta su nene. Ella le explica
que ha desaparecido, otra vez. En Nefertitti, hay reproches entre Escobar que
va a ver a Alicinha. Despues de desafios, ella insiste que el departamento es
suyo. Roger viene y pregunta si hubo problemas, pero ella lo niega. Roger
entonces le pregunta si alguna vez ha conocido a Paris. Ella finge estar
sorprendida y responde que no!
En Fes, Leo se
ve rondando por las ruinas, y tocan la cancion, "Marcas de amor." En
casa de Ali, Jade y Ranya estan enjelgadas, compitiendo por la atencion de
Said. Abdul sigue con lo misma matraca de la caja del haram; (television), en
lo que Ali esta frustrado por estar tan atrasado en tiempo, viviendo en la era
de las juacaras. Abdul agrega que no sabe porque alguien queria probar el mismo
veneno dos veces. Ali hace una mueca. Said explica que Jade tenia una aldiente
fiebre, pero que se recupero. Ranya dijo que tan bien se sentia que fue a las
ruinas, y Ali la tuvo que traer de vuelta. Zoraide y Ali la miran con odio y
desprecio.
En Rio Kadi,
Duda, Samira y Amin hablan de cuantas esposa pueden tener los hombres en
Marruecos. Kadija le explica a Duda que su papa tiene dos esposas, su mama y
Ranya. Que su mama es primera esposa porque se caso primero. En Marruecos,
Kadija agrega, (o Amin; no me acuerdo) un hombre puede tener hasta cuatro
esposas, lo cual sorprende a Duda. Cuando una sirvienta trata de arreglar la
casa, Amina le dice que Ranya es la primera esposa, y todo sera como ella lo
dejo. Cuando llege Ranya y Jade podran hablar sobre como mantener la casa
decorada.
En los
adelantos para Lunes, Ali le dice a Jade que nadie puede pelear con el tiempo y
ella lo esta haciendo. La mentira de Jade hace que Ali abra sus ojos y se ve
cuando el le dice a Said que quiere hablar sobre el matrimonio de el y Jade, y
que no debe tomar lugar. Said tiene rostro de sorprendido. Jade se ve enjegada
y Said tiene que decidir si dejarle el camino libre a Jade para empesar una
vida nueva ella misma, o procedir con el matrimonio.
Brazil, 08/05 - Capítulo 189 Telminha leva Xande embora. Maysa insiste que Xande é culpado pelo envolvimento de Mel com as drogas. Jade mente que foi às ruínas com Ali, obrigando-o a confirmar. Ali pede Said não se case de novo com Jade, leve-a somente para cuidar da filha. Jura avisa ao filho que não vai admitir maus tratos ao neto e promete dizer isso à Mel e sua família. Clarice fica arrasada ao saber que Roger vai para Paris com outra pessoa. Nando chama um chaveiro, entra em casa e leva mais coisas. Samira avisa à mãe que vai estudar e ser independente.

Ali doesn't deny it but, alone with her, becomes angry, tells her he won't approve her remarrying Said. Nando finds his keys won't open his mother's door, gets a locksmith to open the door by saying he'd lost his keys. He steals more stuff.

RECAP: MON 10/21 (Chapter 199) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-22-02 11:12 PDT
Maysa tells Xande that Mel is resting and can't see anyone. Leonidas suggests that a visit from Xande might do Mel some good, but Maysa is adamant and says that it was difficult enough to calm Mel down. Maysa demands that Xande and Telminha leave, and Yvete whispers sarcastically to Leonidas that he sure has one sympathetic daughter-in-law. Maysa tells Telminha and Xande that it's best if they leave but agrees to tell Mel that Xande stopped by and assures Telminha that they'll be other opportunities to see Mel. After they leave, Maysa tells Dalva that she doesn't want Xande near Mel again, still thinking that Xande is the cause of the radical change in Mel. Yvete tells Leonidas that she didn't know that things were so bad with Mel and find out they're even worse when Leonidas tells her that Mel is pregnant. Lucas tells Yvete that he was on his way to Morocco, and Yvete asks him if he had reconciled with Jade. Lucas tells Yvete that he hadn't and that it didn't look like he ever would because their story was just not meant to be. Yvete tries to assure Lucas that some stories were a bit complicated but worked out anyway and offers her own story with Leonidas as an example, but Lucas doesn't seem convinced and instead mentions that Leo had gone to Morocco to see Jade while he was stuck here unable to act. Yvete asks Lucas if Leo is also in love with Jade, and Lucas answers that it seems logical to him that he would be. Leo continues to stand across from Ali's house as he holds the jade necklace in his hands and keeps looking up, hoping to catch a glimpse of Jade.
Abdul, Said and Ali await Jade's explanation, and in very carefully measured words, Jade tells Said that she went to the ruins and so did Tio Ali. Ali turns around and glares at Jade but tells Said that they went to the ruins, corroborating what Jade just said. Said tells Jade she shouldn't have gone, and she agrees with him and admits that she regrets having gone. Jade leaves and Ali gets up and follows her out. When they get to her bedroom, Ali yells at her, calls her a clever snake, and accuses her of lying. Jade points out that she didn't lie; she spoke the truth when she said that she went to the ruins and that he also went. Ali lectures Jade and tells her that while Said and Abdul may not know what really happened, Allah does know that he kept quiet and he'll have to answer for it on Judgment Day. Jade asks Ali if a clone can feel everything that the person he was copied from felt, and Ali in exasperation throws his hands up in the air and tells Jade that he doesn't know; he only knows about those creatures that Allah created. Ali tells Jade that he won't let her marry Said because he can see that she's not going to seriously commit to Said. Jade begs Ali to reconsider, but Ali tells her that she just doesn't get it that no one can relive yesterday's past and if she didn't accept that truth, she'd never be able to really reconcile with Said. Jade pleads that she was weak and then swears that she will never again do it, but Ali tells her he'll do what his heart dictates and admonishes her not to swear because Allah doesn't like false promises. Jade bemoans her sad luck to Zoraide and tells her that Ali wanted to undo her marriage plans to Said. Jade tells Zoraide that she didn't think Ali had the courage to separate her from Khadija. Zoraide advises Jade to get her jade stone and pray, but Jade tells her that Leo hadn't returned the stone to her and now she feels trapped like a prisoner because the stone is the key to her luck.
Ali tells Ranya to put the baby to bed and makes sure she does when he catches her lurking and attempting to eavesdrop. Ali advises Said not to go ahead with his marriage to Jade because he wants the best for both of them, and he doesn't think that right now is the best time for them to marry. Ali encourages Said to take Jade with him to Brazil but only as Khadija's caretaker, not as his wife, and explains to Said that this will surely make Jade realize that she's unhappy playing second fiddle to Ranya and will lead her to fight for Said's love. Said agrees and is quite happy at the prospect that Jade will truly fall in love with him. Doña Jura asks Xande what's up with the story Aninha told her that he's about to become a father. Xande glances over to Aninha, who lowers her eyes in response. Xande smiles as he admits to Doña Jura that it's true, but Doña Jura doesn't smile back and takes him to his room for a serious talk. Doña Jura criticizes Xande for getting a drug addict pregnant, and Xande defends Mel and tells Doña Jura that Mel was on the road to recovery. Doña Jura sarcastically comments that Mel must have started today, and Xande assures her that Mel had returned home and had asked her parents for help. Doña Jura remains skeptical and tells Xande that if Mel continues to use drugs, she'll endanger the fetus. Xande brushes off Doña Jura's concerns and tells her to forget about that, but Doña Jura isn't forgetting anything, including the fact that she swore that she'd never step foot inside the Ferraz home but now she'll have to because she doesn't want any grandchild of hers to be in danger because he's got a drug-addicted mother.
Maysa asks Mel if she's feeling better, and Mel tells her that she wants to get better. Maysa assures Mel that she will and gives her a hug. Nando, unshaven and looking a bit grungy, tries to let himself into the apartment and when he discovers that his key doesn't work, goes to the doorman, Don Antonio, and gets him to call a locksmith after telling him that he forgot his keys and needed to get some work papers out of the apartment. Roger tells Clarice that she hasn't given him a convincing reason why she won't go to Paris with him. Clarice tells him that she has so many problems and that she was truly sorry for him, for Paris, and for herself that she can't go with him. Roger cuts the evening short, telling Clarice that tonight neither one of them was good company for the other. Clarice worries that Roger will leave her for someone else and hopes it's not true. It looks like Nando will leave no drawer unturned as he empties out drawer after drawer looking for anything of value. Clarice asks Roger if he got his hotel confirmed, and he responds that he did and he was going to stay at the hotel. Clarice wonders who he's taking with him but decides it's best not to ask. Later though, when Roger drops her off outside her apartment building, she asks him if Zein is going with him. Roger cagily answers that he's not and that he'll be taking someone else. After Roger leaves, Clarice takes her cell phone and calls Carol and continues talking to her while she walks into the apartment. Clarice sees that Nando has left his calling card...the place is in shambles again. Clarice tells Carol that she'll call her right back and then starts to wail Nando's name. Don Antonio tells Clarice that he hadn't been told to keep Nando out and asks Clarice if that's what she wants to do. Clarice thinks to herself that she doesn't want anyone in the building to know about Nando's drug problem and evades Don Antonio's question, merely telling him that she'll talk to Nando.
Dalva tells Lobato how impressed she was when Leo rearranged Diogo's room and moved the helicopter away because after all Diogo had died in a helicopter accident. Lobato tells Lucas and Maysa that he spent half his life blaming his parents for his drug problems when they weren't to blame, just as Lucas and Maysa are now blaming themselves for Mel's drug problem. Maysa tells Lobato that it'll be easier to control Mel now that she's back home, but Lobato tells her not to fool herself...she can't control Mel; only Mel can control Mel. Maysa insists that she's determined to get Mel through recovery, but Lobato tells her that Maysa's determination doesn't matter a hoot, to which Maysa responds, "We'll see about that!" Lucas tries to stop Maysa from walking out on Lobato by telling her that Lobato came there to help them, but Maysa can't see of what possible help Lobato can be when he himself can't control his own alcohol habit.
Samira insists that she won't wear a veil, even if Mohamed keeps her in the house. Samira tells Latiffa that she'll stay in the house until she's 18 and then leave and continue her education because she won't let happen to her what had happened to Jade, who now has to listen to Ali because she never got an education or prepared herself for life. Latiffa tries to reason with Mohamed, but he's still being unreasonable and still blames her for not having taught Samira anything, insisting that neither he nor Said were rebellious because Nazira had brought them up according to the customs. Abdul calls Mohamed about the new supplier he's lining up for him, and Mohamed tells Abdul that he'll be back in Morocco in two weeks to meet with the supplier. Latiffa asks Mohamed if they're going to Fez, and he tells her he's going alone, which makes Latiffa think that she's going to lose him for good.
Jade gets dressed for her wedding and asks Said if the sheik arrived. Said tells Jade that the sheik wasn't coming because he had postponed the wedding because he thinks they should wait and give themselves some time to see if it's what they truly want. Jade assures Said that she's sure of what she wants, and Said tells Jade that she'll return to Brazil with him to be close with Khadija as she had wanted to but not as his wife. Yvete can't make sense of Deusa's court summons and neither can Laurinda or Soninha. They decide to get an outside opinion; and after they reject Leonidas and Lobato, they agree upon Zein. Zein asks Roger if things had ended between him and Clarice, and Roger responds that they hadn't but they certainly had cooled off. Roger mentions that he invited Alicinha to go to Paris with him and was now having second thoughts about it. Yvete asks Zein about the court summons, and he tells her that Leonidas had presented a court action to nullify Leo's birth certificate and issue a new one in its place, naming him as the father and Celina Ferraz as the mother. Doña Jura tells Raposão and Ligeiro that she's ready to leave to go see Mel's mother. Leo continues to hold the jade necklace in his hands and hold out for the possibility of seeing Jade. As Jade gets ready to leave for Brazil with Said and Ranya, Ali tells her not to be sad because things will turn out better for her. Jade sees Leo as she leaves the house, and he smiles at her and holds up her necklace. Jade gives him a somber look and doesn't smile back. Jade walks behind Said and Ranya but keeps turning around to look at Leo, with the same somber, almost frightened look.
Dalva tries to cheer up Lucas, who's quite somber himself, as he tells her that his entire life was a fiasco because he never achieved anything he wanted to or anything that Leonidas wanted for him. Lucas whines that now he has to deal with a 20-year-old who was a copy of him, serving as a reminder of everything he didn't or couldn't get to do in his life. Maysa tells Dalva that even if Lucas doesn't say it, she can tell that Lucas still pines for Jade. Maysa also tells Dalva that she's planning to take Mel to New York as soon as Mel has the strength to travel; or if Mel prefers, she would seek out a treatment center for her to stay in. Dalva mentions Xande, and Maysa tells her to forget about mentioning Xande to Mel because she'd want to go with him and then they'd never be able to control Mel. Mel continues to be relatively non-communicative as Maysa tries to get her to tell her how she is and what she wants Maysa to do for her. All Mel will tell her is that she doesn't feel like eating and that she's tired. Maysa tries to lift Mel's spirits by talking about some pretty baby things she saw in a store and asks Mel if she'd like to go look at them with her, but Mel tells her she doesn't want to. Maysa then asks Mel if she'd like to travel to get away from everything and suggests that she think of some place to go and then let Maysa know so that they can go together.
Clarice tells Carol that she going to look for Nando and that Carol should make up whatever excuse she wants to to explain her absence at the office, suggesting a doctor's visit, a dentist's visit, or merely saying that she'll be in later. Clarice looks for Nando in a place that clearly makes her uncomfortable, as she continues to talk to Carol. Carol suggests that she wait for Nando to surface on his own, but Clarice insists that she's going to find Nando and tells Clarice that she's on her way to a bar where she heard Nando likes to hang out. Clarice sees Regininha at the bar and asks her about Nando. Regininha holds up her bandaged arm and tells Clarice that Nando was responsible for it but that she doesn't blame him because he was on drugs, as was she, and it was really the drugs that were to blame. Regininha tells Clarice that she called the police on Nando, and when they showed up to take him away, she recanted but couldn't stop them and now can't remember where they were yesterday and has no idea what police station they took Nando to.
The tour guide scolds Leo for disappearing again and asks him to stay by his side. Leo asks the tour guide if he's heard anything about Dolly aging rapidly or dying soon, and the tour guide says he knows nothing about sheep, much less about clones. Leo then asks him if he thinks that everything that happens to Dolly would also happen to a human clone, and the tour guide tells him to stop thinking about such things and focus instead on the pretty things in the stores of the Medina that he can buy to take back to Brazil. Leo stops and looks at the set of mirrors where Zein first saw Jade. Lucas stops in to get a haircut and looks at himself in the mirror as the hair stylist starts to cut his hair.
Re: Resumen
de 10/21 Author: Nikolas (---) Date: 10-22-02 03:25 PDT Maysa le explica a
Dalvita que no sabe como puede tener la audacia, Xande que quiera estar con su
hija. Como siempre, Dalvita defiende a Xande recordandole a Maysa que Xande
tiene derecho de saber de su hija. Con ese comentario, Maysa cree que si Mel
sabe de el, ella quera ir tras el. Leonidas le dice a Yvete la verdad sobre su
nieta. Yvete lo consuela con palabras lindas, como lo es ella; siempre
preocupandosa de otros. Al enttrar Lucas, el saluda a su amiga, Yvete. El se
desahoga con ella, diciendole que parece que el destino no deseaba que se
casara con Jade. El sigue, que, Leo esta en Marruecos y tambien esta enamorada
de Jade. Lucas agrega, el tendra que pensar que hay una copia que tiene 20 años
de edad con toda su plenitud.
Por otro lado,
en Fes, Ranya le dice a Said que Jade fue a las ruinas. Al saber esto, Said le
pregunta a Jade si es cierto. Ella le explica que si y que Ali fue con ella. Esto
no le gusto ni ji a Ali. El miro a su sobrina avervegonzado. Despues que Ali
afirma esto, Jade se retira de la sala. Pero el la persigue, y la reprocha
preguntandole como lo envolucra en sus mentiras, que no sera su complice, y no
quiere arder en el infierno, desgustando a Allah. Pero Jade saca todo fuera de
contexto y le dice a Ali que el en si estuvo con ella cuando fue a las ruinas a
traerla de casa. Ali va a hablar con Said que esta en la sala con Ranya y
Munir. El le pide a Ranya que se pinte. Ella se queda detras de la pared, pero
Ali sabe que esta fisgoniando, y le dice a Ranya una vez mas que se pinte. Ella
viene con el pretexto que se le olvidaron los culeros del niño, y se va. Ali va
a grano, y le dice a Said, que el nunca ha sido un hombre que retracta de
palababras cuando se trata de matrimonio, pero cree que que Said no se debe
casarse con Jade. Said esta perturbado, y pregunta, porque? Ali le dice que es
mejor si se llevara a Jade a Brasil como compañera de Kadija, y en lo que el
reflexiona puede pensar si se quiere casar con su sobrina. Ali le recuerda a Said,
y lo regaña por haber llevado a Jade a Rio, donde el sabia que Jade podia haber
despertado recuerdos de Lucas porque ellos fueron una pareja de jovenes que una
vez se amaron. Said le da la razon a Ali. Ali añade que el(Said) dijo una vez que el tomaria a Jade
como esposa otra vez si el veia el verdadero amor que veia cuando Jade miraba
Lucas. Said pone una sonrisa pequeña y le da la razon a Ali, otra vez.
En San
Cristobal, Jurita habla con Xande y le pregunta si es verdad que Mel esta
preñada. Al afirmarlo, ella quiere saber que de todas las muchachas tuvo que
preñara una droga adicta. Seguramente el bebe nacera con defectos, y aunque
naciera saludable quien se va hacer cargo de la criatura. Ella (Jurita) veria
que tuviera ropa limpia y no le faltara la comida. Xande le explica que Mel
regreso con sus padres, al cual entonces Jurita reclama que porque no ha venido
ella. Mel siempre manda a "esa amiga" (Telmiña). Xande le explica que
es por decirlo, la portavoz de Mel, en lo que ella se mejora. Nando trata de
entrar a la casa, sin exito. El entonces baja y le pregunta a Don Antonio (un
empleado) que la puerta no habre, y si sabe de un cerrajero. Don Antonio le
dice que si. En cuanto esta Nando adentro del departamento, el revuelca medio
mundo buscando lo que sea de valor. Por otro lado, Clariise se disculpa con
Roger por no ir a Paris con el. Roger le responde que no se preocupe, que ira
al mismo hotel de siempre. Clarisse discretamente le pregunta si va con alguien
queriendo saber si ira Zein, y el responde que no! Ella entonces piensa, "
Hay Dios mio, me dejara por otra"? "Seria cinica si
pregunto." Se ira con una mujer?" Ella entonces llama a Carol. Se siente
insegura, y piensa si estara con otra. Al entrar al departamento, ve que paso
"Huracan Nando", y le dice que la llamara despues. Clarisse grita dos
veces, "Nando". Al hablar con Don Antonio, le reprocha como pudo
haber dejado a Nando entrar a su hogar. El le explica a ella que es obio como
Nando vive alli, lo dejo entrar, e incluso lllamo un cerrajero. Clarisse
piensa: "No puedo dejar que los vecinos se enteren." Dalvita, por
otro lado le dice a Lobato que Leo ha cambiado su alcoba. El helicoptero modelo
lo puso a un lado. Ella agrega que es natural, como Diogo tuvo ese accidente en
el helicopetero, no queria verlo. Por la mirada que Lobato le dio parece que le
seguia la corriente, por respeto a Dalvita que esta tan aferada con Leo. Lucas
y Maysa saludan a Lobato y ellos le piden que le explique sobre la droga
adicion de Mel. El les dice primero de todo, que como padres no tienen ninguna
culpa y no hicieron nada mal. La que hizo mal era Mel. Solamente ella misma. Maysa
creyendo que ahora que Mel esta en casa, puede tener mas control sobre ella. Lobato
le explica que eso es falso. En otras palabras ella tiene que ser la que quiera
poner de su parte. Maysa esta determinada. Pero Lobato le explica otra vez, que
no tiene que ver nada con determinacion. Si ella quiere drogas, de una manera o
otra lo conseguira. Maysa se altera, y se retira de la sala. Lucas le pide
disculpas a Lobato de parte de Maysa. Pero que el entiendo el comportamiento de
Maysa. En otras palabra, Ningun hijo puede hacer cualquier mal en los ojos de
sus padres! En la casa de Mo, Latiffa le ruega a Samira que use el velo para
complacere su baba. Samira explica sea como sea, ella se crio en Brasil, y esta
acostumbrada a ver a otras compañeras sin velo. Latiffa le pide que no siga el
mismo ejemplo de su tia Jade, y sea tirada al aire. Samira, safiamente le dice
a su madre que el problema con Tia Jade es que nunca estudio, y por eso tiene
que acatar lo que diga Tio Ali. Mo recibe una llamada del Rey de los berrinces
(Abdul) pidiendo que vaya a Fes para un negocio. Latiffa se siente triste
cuando Mo le dice, que solamente ira el. El agrega que en cuanto Samira y el
asunto del velo, Nazira quien crio a Said y el nunca fueron rebeldes, cuando
Latiffa le explica que eso debe ser lo de Samira, y que si ella va a servir de
abogada de Samira. Latiffa teme ser sacrificada como un carnero. Yvete,
Laurinda y Deusa no entienden ni c..... seco lo que dice el citatorio. Yvete no
va a Lobato como el es un compinche de Leonidas. Las tres se le occuren ir a
Zein, y el les explica con lujos de detalle, que Leonidas quiere quitar el
apellido que Deusa le dio a Leo cuando lo registro y hacerlo un Ferraz,
haciendo a Leo el hijo legitimo de Leonidas y Celina Ferraz. Laurinda, Deusa e
Yvete se quedan boca abiertas.
En Fes, Jade
toda enjelgada, le dice a Zoraide que este matrimonio es mejor que el primero. Cuando
entra a la alcoba, Said, ella le pregunta si ha llegado el sheik. El le dice
que no! Y no va a venir. El ha decido no casarse, al menos por ahora, hasta qe
ambos sepan lo que quieran. Al retirarse, Zoraide la consuela. Entra Ali y le
dice que es mejor, y le da un beso en la frente. Jade se encuentra con Leo y se
miran intensamente. Estan tocando "Tan solo por amor". Ella decide de
retirarse. El guia le pide que por favor no se esgarite otra vez.
En Rio, Lucas
le dice a Dalvita que su vida ha sido un fiasco. Ella se sorprende , diciendole
que siempre ha tenido todo. El se desahoga diciendo que nunca tuvo la vida que
queria vivir. A los cuantera y pico de años se siennte acabado. Ella le dice no
en estas palabras, pero basicamente que el esta como coco. Dalvita le dice esto
a Maysa, y ella tambien se desahoga con Dalvita, diciendo a lo mejor piensa en
Jade sabiendo que Mel esta enferma. Dalvita le dice que hace tiempo que no
menciona a Jade. Pero Maysa reclama, que piensa en ella. Cuando empieza Dalvita
a decir lo de Leo y la reencarnacion, Maysa le explica que no lo es. Y que ella
no podria imaginarse viendo a una clon de Maysa a los 28 años. En cuanto a Mel,
si necesario, la llevara a Nueva York para que la vea un especialista,
(ginecologo/a.) Dalvita cree que es una sandese llevar a Mel al extrañero,
habiendo buenos medicos en Rio. Maysa entonces comenta que a lo mejor un lugar
fuera de Rio.
Lucas se ve en
en centro comercial entra a un salon y pide que lo recorten.
Maysa va a ver
a Mel y le dice que vio ropa bonita de bebes, y si quiere que ambas vayan de
compras. A lo mejor si quiere viajar. Puede elegir el lugar e iran solamente
las dos. Mel se queda callada.
Clarisse va a
encontrar a Nando en una vecindad de mala muerte. Ella habla con Carol en su
celular, y Carol le pide a Lobato que ella hable con ella. Lobato le explica a
Clarisse que en las condicionces que esta Nando, no le hara caso. Clarisse esta
dispuesta al sacarlo a Nando fuera de esa vecindad, aunque sea por las greñas.
Se me olvido
mencionar, cuando el guia finalmente encontro a Leo, el le dijo al guia que
sabia de la abeja Dolly, la clonada. El guia basicamente, y bastante rudo, fue
con Leo, que no sabe del Dolly o mucho menos abejas.
Los adelantos
para mañana son cuando Kadija le da la bienvenida a su mama. Ranya le dice a
Kadija que su mama estara alli como su nana. Jade y Ranya casi se meten a
golpes. Kadija, se o, finge desmayarse. Y Leo regresa de Marruecos, y Deusa le

RECAP: TUES 10/22 (Chapter 200) Author: Aleida (---) Date: 10-23-02 10:16 PDT Alicinha tells Miro that she has to make a business trip to Paris but adds that she had no intention of actually going; and in fact was trying to get someone to take her place but they had turned her down. Pitoco urges Nazira to turn up the intensity of her exercise and to turn down the amount of talking she does as she exercises outdoors with him and another client. Nazira, looking ever so stylish in her black outfit, platform sneakers and veil, tells Pitoco that she doesn't want to be too thin; on the contrary, she wants to be big enough to fill a bed. Amalia tells Tavinho that she needs to interview him and Leonidas about the clone, and Tavinho tells her they won't talk about that to her. Lidiane calls Tavinho, and for once he's glad to be interrupted because it gives him an easy out with Amalia. Telminha tells Lidiane that she spoke to Dalva, who told her that Mel was going to be placed in a treatment center and that the family was going with the story that it was because of Mel's depression. Karla comes by cradling her belly, and Amim asks her if she's getting married because he never saw an unmarried woman have a baby. Odete tells Edvaldo that after Karla's baby is born, they're moving out of the neighborhood. Edvaldo asks about the identity of the baby's father because they never see him around the neighborhood. Odete responds that that's because he's a chic, educated man who would be out of place in their far cry from chic neighborhood. Noemia tells Mustafá that she's going to Ramos with Odete and Karla to see their apartment, even after Mustafá objects because she's not wearing her veil.
Zein explains to Deusa that she has to file a countersuit because Leonidas wants to be named as Leo's father and wants Celina named as his mother. Zein recommends that Deusa change lawyers and use a lawyer that specializes in family matters, which he can arrange for her. Tavinho tells Leonidas that Cecilia Levy is taking over Deusa's case and that she's a formidable opponent. Leonidas is concerned that Tavinho will be outmatched and tells him that it's better to tell him now if he thinks that he's in over his head. Tavinho tells him that he can't work effectively under the pressure that Leonidas is putting on him. Edvaldo, Tia Lula and Doña Mocinha try to convince Deusa that no judge will rule that Leo's mother is a woman who died before Leo was born, but Deusa still has her doubts. Leo calls Deusa to tell her that he's on his way home. Tavinho tells Lobato that Cecilia Levy has taken over Deusa's case and that she's a fiend. Lobato assures him that he prepared a solid case for him and teases him that he'll be okay as long as he sticks to the basics and doesn't start talking about his muscles or his vitamins. Clarice tells Carol that she's exhausted and to make matters worse, now she's learned that Nando has been arrested. Lucas comes by and Carol compliments him on his new look. Clarice sobs and tells Carol that she feels like a failure as a mother and as a woman and is thinking of talking to Roger. Carol encourages her to do that, and Clarice tells her that she'll stop by the club to see him.
Dalva tells Maysa that Doña Jura came to talk to Mel, and Maysa goes out to the balcony where she sees Doña Jura arriving with Raposão and Ligeiro. Dalva goes downstairs and gives Doña Jura a warm welcome and meets Raposão and Ligeiro. Dalva takes Doña Jura upstairs to see Mel and tells Raposão and Ligeiro to make themselves comfortable, which they do as they take her at her word and sprawl out on the living room couch and chair. Ligeiro plays Raposão's manservant and pantomimes bringing him a cigar and lighting it for him. Mel sits up when she sees Doña Jura and listens to her carefully as Doña Jura tells her that she knows about the baby and was willing to raise the child better than she raised Xande if Mel wasn't able to straighten her head out and raise her own child. Mel assures Doña Jura that she's going to recover and was no longer going to do those crazy things she had done because she doesn't want to harm her baby, having taken quite seriously what the doctor warned her about. Doña Jura tells Mel that it's good for her to feel that way because bringing a child into this world is a serious matter and children follow the example set by their parents. Dalva tries to encourage Maysa to at least go and say hello to Doña Jura, but Maysa responds that she refuses to have anything to do with "those people" and asks Dalva to order the security guards not to let "those people" into the house; and that if Xande comes by, the security guards should tell him that she and Mel had gone away on a trip together. Dalva purses her lips, glares at Maysa, gives her a disapproving hmmm, and exclaims to herself, "Don't even think that I would say that to them!"
Raposão and Ligeiro hear Dalva's approaching footsteps and hotfoot it off the couch and chair. Dalva takes them into the kitchen where Ligeiro flirts Michele. Dalva offers them some refreshments and cake and starts to ramble on about her reincarnated "son" and how much he loved that particular cake. While Dalva goes off to get some cream for the cake, Raposão and Ligeiro look at one another and agree that there's money to be made from Dalva's spiritualism. Doña Jura assures Mel that she can count on her for everything but only if Mel is able to get her head straight; otherwise she wants Mel to forget about Xande because she doesn't want Mel dragging Xande down with her. Doña Jura tells Mel that she's very grateful to her for having motivated Xande to continue his education and proudly tells her how Xande is buried in his books. Mel smiles at the news and tells Doña Jura that Xande is very intelligent. Doña Jura responds that Xande will go far, and Mel can go with him if she's strong enough to see her treatment through. Mel tells Doña Jura that she's very optimistic about her recovery, and Doña Jura assures her that she'll be able to achieve it. Maysa stands near the open door and looks on wistfully, noting that Mel is sitting up and talking with Doña Jura and that Doña Jura is holding Mel's hand between her own to demonstrate her support. Doña Jura asks Mel if she's seen a doctor for prenatal care, and Mel assures her that she will because she wants to do everything right.
Alicinha calls Miro while she's in the presence of the other manager, Teté, and puts on her phony, sad voice as she tells him that she'll be leaving for Paris in 4 days, insisting that she's very sad because she really didn't want to go. Roger comes by and Alicinha brightly tells him that she's packed and ready to go. Roger asks Alicinha if there's going to be a problem with her boyfriend, and Alicinha says, "What boyfriend?" and insists that Miro is just a friend. Roger leaves and Teté remarks that Alicinha used to say that she was so much in love with Miro. Alicinha says she's still very much in love with him, but she wasn't about to miss the opportunity to go to Paris and was hoping that the trip would make it possible for her to distance herself a little from Miro because he's not good enough for her; she wants more out of life than Miro and has set higher goals for herself, which leaves Teté visibly impressed with Alicinha's aplomb. Clarice comes by to see Roger but gets Alicinha who tells her that Roger left to get the dollars for their trip. Clarice asks Alicinha if she's being serious, and Alicinha smugly tells her that she's going to Paris with Roger. Mohamed gets ready to take Amim computer shopping and invites Samira to come along, but only if she'll wear her veil. Samira, of course, rejects the offer. Latiffa worries about Mohamed solo trip to Morocco, and asks Nazira for her help in convincing Mohamed to take her with him. Nazira promises to think about it. Amim and Mohamed enter the computer store, and Amim shows Mohamed the computer he wants, a Pentium4 model, which doesn't mean anything to Mohamed because he knows nothing about computers. Amim explains to Mohamed about the Pentium4, but Mohamed is more interested in seeing Amim negotiate the price with the salesman than in learning about the inner workings of a computer.
Jade rushes into Khadija's waiting arms, and they hug and kiss each other with much glee. Khadija points out to Jade how the household staff had rearranged some things, and tells Jade that now she could change it back to how she wanted it. Ranya tells Khadija that Jade won't be doing that because she didn't return as Said's wife. Khadija calls Ranya a liar, but Jade quickly tells Khadija that she didn't get married and had returned only to take care of her. Ranya smirks as she declares that Jade returned as Khadija's nanny. Jade responds that she won't put up with having to hear Ranya's insolent remarks, to which Ranya replies that Jade will hear whatever she feels like saying because the house belonged to her. Khadija corrects Ranya and tells her that Said is the owner of the house, and Ranya then calls Khadija a piranha. Khadija calls her a witch in return, and they exchange their usual barbs, wishing each other the wrath of Allah. Jade and Ranya go at each other, and Said has to come in to pull them apart. Khadija faints, and Said reprimands Ranya, telling her never to do that again because he doesn't want to see Khadija crying. Ranya stomps off to her room, and Amina follows her. Amina assures Ranya that now that she's the only wife, it'll be easier to get rid of Jade. Ranya is almost hyperventilating by now and tells Amina that she won't rest until Jade is cast to the wind and adamantly insists that she'll be the one to do it. Khadija confidently tells Jade that she'll see to it that Ranya gets cast to the wind and that Ranya won't take Jade's place. Said comes by to check in on Khadija and assures her that Ranya won't scare her like that any more.
Leo returns home with gifts for Doña Mocinha, Tia Lula and Deusa. Deusa tells Leo that Leonidas is suing her to have him become his son and for her to no longer be his mother. Deusa explains to Leo that Yvete got her a lawyer who wanted to speak to him and get his opinion. Leo looks troubled as he asks Deusa if he has to make the decision in the case. Deusa falls into Leo's arms and weeps. Xande visits Mel, and Dalva tells him that Doña Jura was there yesterday and had spoken to Mel for quite a while. Dalva mentions that Maysa was at the bank and encourages Xande to take advantage of it and go upstairs to talk to Mel. Mel is talking to Lucas on the phone and tells him that she wants to enter the treatment center today. Dalva brings Xande upstairs and leaves him alone with Mel after she sees Mel smile and Xande go over to hug Mel. Xande gives Mel an early Mother's Day gift, which makes her smile again. Mel tells Xande that she's putting herself into a treatment center and that everything will be different and that all she needs is some help to get out of her addiction. Xande assures her that she'll achieve her goal, and Mel says they'll be very happy. Lobato tells his analyst that no one really knows how difficult the addict struggles to overcome his addiction, even after he accepts the damage that drugs have caused him and has expressed a desire to quit. The analyst suggests that the pleasure of the drugs might outweigh the pain caused by the drugs, but Lobato angrily responds that he no longer even feels pleasure in drugs, only the pain.
Father Mattioli stops by Albieri's clinic, and Edna tells him how relieved she was that Leo was back in Rio because she never meant him any harm and was not really a bad person. Father Mattioli assures her that we all have moments when we're governed by bad thoughts and that we have to let our good thoughts flourish so that they can overtake our bad thoughts. Father Mattioli leaves to meet with Albieri in his office, and Escobar comes by to tell Edna and Julio that he was going to sue Alicinha and that his lawyer told him that their testimony in his support could be used in court. Edna and Julio exchange a nervous look at the news. Albieri is still quite nervous over the impending court case and over Simone's denouncement of him before the Ethics Board, and Father Mattioli suggests to him that he confess that he created a clone because it would ease his mind. Leonidas calls and Albieri tells him that a reporter came to him with questions about the clone. Albieri tells Leonidas that they need to know how the reporter got wind of the news because now was not the best time to publish the information. Leonidas finds out from Albieri that Amalia was the reporter and tells him that he'll take care of it. Leonidas calls Amalia, who's with Cecéu at his house, and tells her that he'll be at her house tonight for a talk. Cecéu gets jealous, and Amalia kisses him to assure him that it was the only way she could get to interview Leonidas about the clone. Lidiane and Telminha walk in and see Amalia and Cec&eacu
