Melissa, Tiago, Igor, William, and Octavio are in the meeting room to discuss an important subject: the hotel. “Gentlemen, we need to talk about Rocha Hotel.” Melissa begins, “We need to move forward with my late husband's project.” “Bullshit...” William grumbles, frowning. “Melissa, do you think this is a good idea?” Tiago asks cautiously. Melissa hands them copies of the newspaper Carmen had taken for her, “See the news for yourselves. Josias told me that the construction of the hotel was in support of the expansion of the Lagoon City Journal which will soon become the Lagoon City Network. The construction of the studio where the news will be broadcast is at full speed. Later this year they will likely inaugurate the TV station.” “Yes, and Mayor Ibrahim commented that our city doesn't have a hotel that can accommodate people of this level.” Igor helps with the argument. Tiago smiles, “What do you say to us, Octavio?” “The floor plans are moldy in my living room drawers.” He re

At Harold's house, Isabel was in the armchair while the family was on the sofa: Harold, Flavia, and Reuben. Uélton was on his feet. “OK, Freire family together.” Isabel begins the family reunion, “As you may know, I received a proposal from LCN, Lagoon City Network, to turn my first book ‘Love Just Happens’ into a prime-time soap opera. What do you think?” “I have already commented my favorable opinion,” Harold responds smiling. Flavia and Uélton still didn't know. “Mom, this is amazing!” Uélton says excitedly, “You're going to receive royalties for the authorization, aren't you?” “Of course I do, after all, they don’t own the work.” Isabel calmly responds, “I need to communicate this with Mr. Marçal, but I want to hear the family's opinion.” “I will be one of the loyal viewers!” Flavia opines, looking forward to watching the first episode. “What is prime-time soap opera, grandma?” Reuben asks. The adults laugh. “It certainly has nothing to do with our fishing program, my gran

At Crystal Blue, João Paulo enters looking for Frederico, but Kelvin blocks his steps.“Hi, young man, do you have a reserved table?”João Paulo thought Kelvin was mocking him. The restaurant is full of people in suits and ties having lunch, and he's in jeans and a denim jacket.“I'm looking for Frederick.” João Paulo responds with a reservation.“Hey, he's busy out there disposing of garbage bags,” Kelvin responds with a chuckle.Melissa walks in with Elza at this point.“Mr. Mountain, I have a table reserved for two.” Melissa turns to João Paulo, “Hello, João! Why are you here?”“For nothing.” João Paulo gets nervous.“Son, do not enter this illustrious restaurant in these simple clothes.” Elza advises him, “Where are those clothes that Josias told you about? They are of a good brand and more appropriate to be here.”“Okay, mom, I'll remember that.” Suddenly João Paulo remembers something to justify himself, “I wanted to see Ben.”“Ben comes in later since he studies in the morning,

Josias doesn't know how to respond to João Paulo. He even mentioned that it would be nice to let Melissa follow her heart. But would he be ready?“João Paulo, I don't know if I can answer you now.”“If you can't answer me, it's because you still love Melissa, and you can't bear to see her with another guy.”Josias tries to disguise, “Kelvin Mountain is a good guy; he's a better choice than Adrian.”“Then I won't interfere if she decides to date him. Well, that was it, I'll hang up. In the afternoon I pass some gossip to Fred.”João Paulo hangs up. Josias turns to Frederick.“And then?” He asks.“Prepare your ears. We have more revelations later.”******Jack is in front of Daniel Oliveira in the director's office. Both are seated vis-à-vis.“Would you like some water, some juice, Mr. Motta?”“No, thank you.” Jack smiles, “I don't understand why I'm being treated like a celebrity.”“Perhaps because you really are a celebrity.” Daniel flatters him.“Why did LCN summon me?”Daniel leans

In Teodoro's building, Pamela took the radio to the canteen. The song “Jump”, by Kris Kross, cheered up the tenants who celebrated the return of Cristina Barbosa.Raymond, however, could not even with the tastiest piece of cake sweeten his tongue when he heard the tenants call the landlady 'Mrs. Barbosa'.Pamela addresses him, “Dad, it looks like you're eating poop cake.”“I can't take it, daughter.” Her father's voice expresses all the hurt, “I'm going to kneel before everyone and beg your mother to marry me again.”Pamela jokes, “What for? For someone to sabotage your car and put Mom in a coma again? No, father, you wanted to venture out with that indigestible Abigail, mother felt defeated.”“Defeat will be what she has now, having to support and care for an invalid.”Pamela turns around and sees Cristina taking forkfuls of cake in Moacyr's mouth.“This was also a result of the accident, but soon he's walking again,” Pamela responds hopefully.Melissa, Carmen, Vânia, and Shirley app
