In Viana's police district, Tiago wants to know what conclusion the police reached with the shirt found.“The way you're looking at me,” Tiago opines, “It looks like Josias was eaten by a lion!”“We are not in the Amazon rainforest, Mr. Bento.” Ephraim counters, “And around here, lions only exist in the zoo.”“I dunno, what do you guys have to say to me?” Tiago is already impatient.“Mr. Bento, I hope you and the Rocha family prepare for the worst.” Commander Fontes speaks in a rueful tone, “If Josias was bleeding when he dragged himself from the crash site, he was losing strength little by little. The plantations of Mr. Bezerra are watered with piped water from the Jucu River. As this piece of clothing was found nearby...”Tiago widens his eyes, “Are you telling me that Josias accidentally fell into the river and drowned?”The commander is alread

Cristina and Moacyr are in the living room of Pamela's apartment with Rosemary and Pedro to share the bad news.“My dear grandchildren, I want you to know that Grandma will always love you. However, your mother asked me to announce that you will no longer be living here.”Rosemary and Pedro are sad and sulky.“Where are we going to live?” Rosemary asks.“You are going to live with Mom and Mr. Damascene.” Cristina responds like a teacher, “And Pedro is going to live with Dad Downtown.”“Why don't we move in together anymore?” Rosemary finds the information way too strange.“It’s because dad and mom won't live in together anymore.” Moacyr responds feeling sad for the little ones.“Are we going to be like Caio?” Rosemary asks for reassurance.In her mind, if they live like Caio, it means that she will still see Pedro at school, at birthday pa

Simeon leads Melissa to the couch and takes advantage of the fact that there is no one else around.“Daughter, I didn't want to bother you because you were very distressed. It was that Angela, wanting to talk to us.”Melissa furrows her eyebrows as much as she can. What is this minx wanting now?“How dare she contact us, in the situation we are in?”“She must surely know about the accident...” Simeon clears his throat, “And on the off chance that Josias might have died...”“She wants to get alimony to raise the child anyway.” Melissa completes rolling her eyes.“So, was my brother-in-law on the phone?”“Yes. Dad...” Melissa has teary eyes, “Lilian and Ernesto confirmed that the shirt they found belonged to Josias. Someone found it by the river, which means...”Melissa doesn't dare to continue. Simeon hugs her.“Oh daught

Elza turns off the radio to argue with Vernon as he shows no empathy for Josias's death.“Honey, keep the respect!” Elza demands, “And you two, stop glaring at each other like that. I don't want some fight again.”“Dad, you only make me more disgusted.” João Paulo complains.“Well, stop it, get used to your old father.” Vernon shrugs, “Go back to the penthouse and pack your bags, you're not going to live there now that your stepbrother is dead.”“He is my brother!” João Paulo yells, “Stop including that ‘step’!”“Oh gosh!” Elza sits on the couch, almost having a stroke due to so much drama and confusion in her life.“Mom, I'm going to see if Melissa has decided anything about the funeral. Excuse me.” João Paulo leaves when he sees that Elza feels bad.“Hey, come back here, you softie!” Vernon feels macho, but João Paulo pays him no attention and closes the front door.Elza lifts her head to her husband, her gaze feverish, “Since you don't feel anything for the loss we've had, you don'

Ephraim is in Itaporanga village, in a rustic bar, reading one of the few copies of the newspaper you can get in those parts. On the first page, the headline announces the wake of Josias Rocha.A 1960s radio is playing Gloria Estefan's song "Coming Out of the Dark," as if she's saying something to Ephraim.But Ephraim doesn't know English nor did he know about the accident that almost took the life of Gloria Estefan. He returns the newspaper to the bar owner and pays for the drink.“It’s happening.” He comments as he leaves, with a smart smile.******In the arena, more people gather to say goodbye to Lagoon City's hottest businessman, even only for a short time.Mayor Ibrahim and Tobias respectfully greet Melissa, and countless flashes pop to capture the moment.Moacyr and Cristina arrive and notice the venue is fuller.“Are we going to get a place to sit?” Cristina worries.Carmen stands up and waves at the couple, showing that she has saved seats for them.As they are in a row behi
