Beto and Wallace return to the Teodoro Building. They are greeted by the song “Here Without You” by Three Doors Down.Teresa and Vera were waiting for the gentlemen.“Darling, so glad you’re back from the journey!” Teresa hugs Beto, “How is Josias? Well? OK? So and so?”“He’s fine, surprised by the vandalism.” Beto responds, stroking his wife’s hair, “He didn’t know what happened at the restaurant.”Vera points to the radio, “Well, we heard Josias’s statement on the radio station. In fact, the fan base overreacted.”Wallace comments, “That’ll end up encouraging people to heat up the war between the families.”“Oh, I hope that doesn’t happen.” Vera crosses her fingers, “May we all live in peace.”“Where are Pedro and Maycon?” Beto asks.“Where else? Playing the video game as usual.” Teresa laughs, pleased by the change of subject.Beto kisses her cheek and goes to the apartment to see the children.Wallace and Vera walk to their apartment, when suddenly...“Wally...” Vera freezes her s

Days later, with Vera recovered and Elton going home, Maggie provided the cover story for Maggiezine. As agreed, the photo was taken in Wallace’s apartment, but no one realized that it was a Happiness Slum residence, due to the care that Rocha Constructions had in rebuilding the Teodoro building.That edition and the edition that showed Josias and Melissa on the cover, announcing the return of the Rocha couple, proved to be the best-selling editions of 2003.Access to the same news on the website also skyrocketed. Young people who did not have the money or desire to subscribe to the magazine looked for information on the Internet and shared it with their friends of the same age.Meanwhile, Daryl and Diane felt left out again. They wanted to visit Vera to congratulate her and meet Elton, but her apartment was always full of Josias’s relatives and friends.Until, one fine day, they took courage. Upon reading yet another article about them in the LCN newspaper, Daryl threw the newspaper

As soon as the Mountain family left, Wallace locked the door and ripped all the clothes off his body again. Vera laughs.“Today you don’t want to get formal, huh?”Wallace shrugs, “No, it’s hot today. Do you want me to turn the fan on for you?”“Don’t put it too strong. I don’t want to risk Elton catching a cold.” Vera tenderly looks at her son.Wallace thus turns on the fan, “You know, Patrick came by, but he didn’t tell me what he wanted, and he left without answering.”“That was really weird.” Vera frowns, “He saw his bosses here and was embarrassed?”“Looks like he was late.” Wallace chuckles, “But he got weird saying that only Daryl and Diane were his bosses. He said that by the time Felipe’s turn comes around, he’ll already be at a better job.”Vera saw no strangeness in the phrase, “Every man wants a better job.”“But he said, I don’t know... As if he had something against Felipe. Did they fight?” Wallace scratches his chin.Vera shrugs. She is only interested in taking care of

Josias visits Bernardo at his apartment. As the case was quickly resolved, he was discharged.In Bernardo’s apartment, he is in an armchair, with a blanket over his legs, being watched by Maggie and Henrique.“Do you want the radio on, honey, or the TV?” Maggie asks, very helpful.Bernardo laughs, “Don’t make me get used to that, huh?”“We just want to help you, my love.” Maggie kisses him on the cheek.Josias chuckles, “Bernie, you’re being well taken care of.”Bernardo turns to Josias, “Thanks for coming, Josias. And Melissa?”“She’s at the mansion. My son wanted to have a little party for his friends. He invited everyone... Henrique, shouldn’t you be at the party?”“I want to stay and take care of my father, Mr. Rocha,” Henrique responds with a smile like a well-behaved boy.Josias smiles, but he’s still not over the ‘Mr. Rocha’. When will Henrique call him ‘Uncle Josias’, like the others?Maggie turns on the radio and Hillary Duff’s song “So Yesterday” fills the apartment.“I’m go

Following day. William is wearing a real leather shoe in his living room. Caio approaches him wearing only sweatpants and rubbing his eyes, as he had just woken up. He finds it strange that his father is already wearing a shirt and dress pants. The supporter is near him.The radio playing Linkin Park’s song “Somewhere I Belong” left the scene darker for Caio, “Dad? Are you leaving already? Where are you going?”“Did you have a great time at the party yesterday, son?” William finishes putting on his shoes.“Yes, but you didn’t answer me.” Caio insists, positioning himself in front of his father.William smiles a little, “Don’t worry about me, son. Concentrate on the entrance exam and being an architect as famous as Octavio Motta.”Caio crosses his arms, “You’re not going to tell me, are you? If it was something normal and no harm, you would have told me straight away. Are you up to something?”William stands up, serious, “Definitely, Caio, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your
