HOSPITAL FEMALE BATHROOM - NIGHTSandra and Miriam are amazed to hear a toilet flush. They think someone overheard their conversation. When they are mentally preparing excuses and lies to tell...One of the compartments opens and the two see that it’s another woman, completely unknown to them. It wasn't Annie or Monica.Sandra and Miriam are completely relieved and let out a long sigh. Miriam takes more paper towels to wipe the cold sweat that has appeared on her forehead. The lady fears the reaction of the two crazy women and washes her hand in another sink, far away from them."Come on, Miriam, before someone actually comes in here and hears us."The woman even listened to the whole conversation, but the subject was totally irrelevant to her. She shrugs and finishes washing her hands, trying to forget the talk.WHITE HOUSE HOSPITALIn the corridor, close to Carina's room, when everyone decided to go home after the information from Dr. Medeiros that Carina is going to stay asleep all

HOSPITAL DE CASA BRANCA - DAYRicardo and Carina continue to talk after she finishes eating breakfast, satisfied with the abundance."A delight, love. Everyone usually complains about hospital food."Ricardo chuckles, "It's just that they know they can't go wrong with me, love."Carina is kissed on the cheek by him. So she is intrigued, "Cardo, all of this is very nice, but... Will you be able to afford it? I mean, look at this room! It's practically a suite, just for me, there are no other beds."Ricardo remembers Rubens's warning that too much exhibition could attract attention. Even Carina ended up noticing."Honey, I have health insurance here and my parents are VIP customers. When my mom had a serious health problem, cancer... We thought she was going to die... They treated us very well, and my mom got recovered thanks to God and the competent doctors. So I didn't think twice and I took you here. Because Roldão came to my house to tell me that you had gotten worse."Carina frowns

HOSPITAL DE CASA BRANCA - DAYCarina asks Miriam an important question: is she willing to make peace and leave all hatred and bitterness behind?Actually... NO! Miriam is not willing to make amends. Pretending regret and hoping that Carina will forgive her and free her from the lawsuit would be too easy. And Miriam wanted to fight, she wanted to win. She is convinced that she can reverse her situation in court with Fábia Peres's lawyer.In addition, Ricardo will continue to sue Carlos anyway. His case is separate from Carina's legal action. So, is it like that, Miriam gets rid of the process and Carlos harms himself?Of course not! Because, if it’s to be prosecuted, then Miriam would be willing to suffer the same illness together with her beloved policeman; she won’t let Carlos suffer alone while she manages to get away with pretending regret in front of Carina.Thus, Miriam adopts a stern stance and only responds coldly, "No, Carina. I didn't come here on a peacekeeping mission. At l

MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONAnnie and Sandra are appalled by Monica admitting that she has hidden part of the truth so that Fábio doesn't think she is cheating on him with Célio. However, Sandra's annoyance is even greater, because then Fábia Peres and Miriam's plan does not work."Monica, allow me my friend's advice." Sandra comments, "Tell the whole truth to Fábio, show the photos you hid. Better that than Fábia Peres coming back tomorrow, insisting with Fábio that this happened.""Fábio will no longer listen to Fábia Peres, Sandra.""But, he's being cheated by you. That's worse than being cheated by Fábia Peres. Yeah, you two are dating."Annie risks giving her opinion, "I tend to agree with Sandra, Monica. You took a chance. If Fábio hears the truth by other means..."But Monica doesn't even want to think about the hypothesis. She fidgets in the chair, opens, and closes her hands as if she were an angry cat, "No, girls, let's think positively. It wasn't even for those damn pi

MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - DAYMonday. Miriam is tidying up her room, later she will meet with Fábia Peres's lawyer.Fábia Peres enters, with another plastic bag in hand."Good morning, Fábia Peres!" Miriam greets her."Good morning. Today I came to show you the pictures of my debutante party."And Fábia Peres takes out the photo album that was in the bag. The hardcover and well-crafted album was made to order with technology still unknown to Miriam."Girl... I, as a photographer, do not know this type of album... It must have been very expensive.""Oh, and do we bother with the price? We want quality and good taste, dear. Now let's sit down."Miriam and Fábia Peres sit on the mattress and start leafing through the pages, with each stupendous photo, one more beautiful than the other. Several shots of Fábia Peres with her pink dress, her glamorous hairstyle, the handsome prince who accompanied her, and the fifteen couples who waltzed with her.Here, in the couples, that Fábia Peres wanted to d
