The next day, at Evandro's cafeteria, he's frying chicken patties while Jimmy Cliff's song "Hot Shot" makes the customers in attendance shake their heads as they wait for the snack.Among them is Moacyr, the most regular customer.Next to him, Vernon and João Paulo enter."Is this, son, where you want to eat a pastry?""Everyone talks about this place, Dad." John Paul answers. He's a kid, but he's smart.When Evandro turns off the stove and turns to the customers, his smile momentarily fades when he sees Vernon. But he manages to disguise it and announces: "The pastries are ready, I'll take care of everyone!"Vernon and João Paulo sit beside Moacyr."Your son is right." Moacyr advertises the snack bar, "Our friend Evandro has plenty of experience in frying pastries. I even don't budge, even though the doctors keep warning me about cholesterol."Vernon and João Paulo laugh.Adrian walks in, dressed so

After Jorge leaves his office, Josias and Vera enter and close the door. Vera widens her eyes and is terrified. Will Josias also want...?Because of what happened between her and Wallace, Vera now thinks every man in the world wants to force himself on her. Ironically, if Wallace shows up and asks for forgiveness, Vera would be willing to forgive him, as she'd told Prates earlier.But, Josias would never do something like that. He just doesn't want to be interrupted by Beto. "Let's talk very clearly, Vera. First of all, I would like to congratulate you."Vera smiles and sits in Jorge's chair instead of letting Josias sit in it. "Wow, that's cool! Congratulations, why?"Josias responds in a voice full of spite, "Congratulations on pretending to be a decent girl; congratulations on getting into where it wasn't your business; congratulations on involving another boy in this web of lies and losing your virginity without being married; congratulations on sinki

Pamela is dumbfounded when she discovers that one more story she knew about Wallace and Vera was also another lie. Is there any truth to this nightmare?She starts walking in circles impatiently. "Josias, for God's sake! Is there anything in this story that's true? Everything I was told was a lie!""I know how you feel, Pamela." Josias tries to comfort her, "I always felt, when it all started, that there was something wrong with this story. I know you and Wallace weren't living the best love story, but everything got worse when Beto and Vera came on the scene. The poor Teodoro tried to deny everything and took the truth to his grave.""But, the truth always comes out, sooner or later." Pamela stops walking and recites this fact."So I ask you to understand the situation, and understand your husband." Josias asks, "Vera decided to reveal this not out of a sense of justice, but out of a thirst for revenge."Pamela sits on the couch trying to calm dow

Next Sunday, everyone rooting for Happiness Slum's victory headed to the stadium or tuned in on their home TV.Our well-known characters preferred to watch from the stadium stand. Flávia, this time, did not want to go."Flávia, you'll be alone on the penthouse." Melissa tries to convince her.Elza, however, ends the matter without mercy: "Leave her, dear. She was useless in the semi-finals. I want to drink mineral water without dirt in the bottle."Flávia scowls at Elza and promises New Year's Eve to take revenge on the madam.So, everyone heads to the stadium. Melissa noticed that the queue to buy tickets is twice as long. Ernesto hands them tickets."I bought it in advance, sir, but they were a lot more expensive." He reports to Josias."Absolutely, but it's better than standing in line not sure you're going to make it." Josias takes the tickets and distributes them to everyone.Alan has his eyes open, wa

On Monday, William is sitting at the desk of Romualdo Silva, his former boss. He's leaning over, signing his release from Silva Constructions as a bricklayer."It was an immeasurable pleasure to have you with us, William." Romualdo states, "We helped you when you needed a job. But, you decided to pursue your dream of being a soccer player, and it's more than clear that you're good at what you do. I would feel guilty if I continued to hold you back.""Thanks to your sponsorship and the prize won, the players will be paid. And I can't believe we'll have a decent field to practice on!" William is thrilled to finish signing."Next year, construction begins," Romualdo promises.The two men shake hands and say goodbye.William gets up and leaves Romualdo's room. In the hallway, he finds Tiago and Carmen kissing. Carmen notices him and wants to leave soon, but Tiago keeps the bear hug."See you later, champ!" Tiago greets him.William smiles
