At Café Montanha, Felipe enters as if he were looking for someone. Indeed, he only calms down and smiles when he sees Caroline sitting on the stool, eating donuts, drinking coffee, and talking to Neilton.“I’m glad everything is clear, Miss Rocha.” Neilton says animatedly, “The racist, promiscuous old woman died deservedly, rather than the melodramatic suicide they tried to trick us into. The adulterous husband died at the hands of Josias Rocha, your precious father. Do you want more perfect revenge than that?”“He didn’t intend to take revenge like that.” Caroline comments, “At that moment, he only intended to save Mrs. Cardozo. How is she going to sign her name now?”Felipe approaches them. “Pour me a cappuccino, Neil.”“Yes, sir...” Neil can’t bring himself to go before asking, “Are you going to stay here?”“You mean if I’m going to stay in town?” Felipe sits on the stool next to Caroline, “Yes, I’m going to continue living here. I will probably be promoted, according to Miss Rocha

The next day, Flávia notices that Reuben is meditating at the breakfast table. The cup of coffee remains untouched and the bread with cheese and margarine is at risk of flies landing on it.“Son, if you don’t eat soon, you’ll let that fly lay eggs in your bread. It’s going to be something disgusting.”“I’m sorry, Mom.” Reuben gestures and swats away the fly, “I’m very worried.”“Oh, if you didn’t tell me first,” Flávia teases him, “How can I help you?”“That boy who is helping Grandma Isabel and Grandpa Frank...”“Neil,” Flávia responds.“He’s reliable?”Flávia noisily sets down her cup on her saucer, “Son, if you’re also going to distrust Neil because he’s black...”“I didn’t say that!” Reuben gestures, biting into the bread and continuing with his mouth full, “I want to know if I can trust his perception.”“Perception?” Flávia is confused.“He must meet Carol at the Café.” Reuben explains, “He must know how she behaves when she’s with that suspicious guy.”“I can’t give any opinion

At the police station, Adelaide visits Amoreira’s office.“Hilton...”“Hello, Adelaide!” Amoreira stands up and greets her with chivalry, “It’s good to see you. Can I help you?”“I want to know how your children reacted to our meeting last night.” Adelaide is serious.“Ah...” Amoreira closes the door, “Do you want to know if my children were jealous of their evil stepmother? Don’t worry, Adelaide! On the contrary... They asked if we ended the night like in romantic films...”Adelaide blushes as if she were a chaste teenager. “By God, no... It’s still early for these things. I was educated by the Old School.”“Me too, but nowadays, young people first make love and then ask each other’s names...” Amoreira clears his throat, “If I can call it love. Every day, a poor teenage girl in tears comes here, informing us that she was raped.”Adelaide sits down, “And you have a daughter.”“Well, I told you that she is meeting and seeing Caio Campos. I hope they fall in love and start dating for re

Josias receives a visit from Thierry on the same day to ask permission to try a relationship with Rosemary when she returns in 2006. If Josias doesn’t allow it, Thierry wouldn’t have the courage.After all, Thierry remembers how furious Josias was when the mess occurred in 2001...“Sit down, Thierry.” Josias now smiles kindly and holds no ill will towards the young photographer.“Mr. Rocha, are you aware that Rosemary is returning to Lagoon City?”“Yes, and that makes me very happy.” Josias grins, gesturing to the drinks table.“A shot of brandy, please.” Thierry accepts, “Patrick Nogueira doesn’t even want to see her painted gold. That’s why I wanted to know...”“Do you want to know if you can try one more time with her?” Josias guesses while preparing the doses.Thierry choked on his words. Josias wouldn’t be the powerful man he is today if he didn’t use his brain and always be ahead of others.Josias holds out one of the glasses to him, still smiling, “If Pat isn’t interested, you

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin watched the sunset from the balcony, sitting on one of the loungers, shirtless, letting the light breeze caress his skin. He thought about his life...Talking to Caroline and the twins, he couldn’t help but think about their mother... Melissa...“Argh, I’m going crazy! Melissa loves Josias and she will never return to me. Game over, Kelvin.”Kelvin shakes his head and continues to admire the cityscape.Hearing the door open and close, he remains silent, not willing to vent his confused feelings to a rebellious Felipe.Felipe approaches his uncle with a criminal smile. “Hi, Uncle Kelvin! What a beautiful horizon, don’t you think?”“What did you do now, Felipe?”“Jeez, what a lack of trust!” Felipe sits on the other lounge chair, “I had a little chat with Cláudio Guzman.”“For Christ’s sake, Felipe!” Kelvin scolds him, “Don’t meddle in what’s none of your business! If I hear you’re acting like this, you’ll move closer to your parents, huh!”“I’m an adul
