Pamela returns from the street with shopping bags. Cristina and Moacyr decide to approach her to help with her marriage mess.

"Honey, can we talk?" Cristina does the question.

Pamela grimaces meaning the contrary, "I'm not in the mood, Mom. I need to make lunch and there's nothing ready to be reused."

"It won't take long." Cristina insists and even blocks her way, "It upsets me a little to see you unhappy. Are you sure you can't live peacefully with your husband?"

"No, we're not sure of anything," Pamela responds fiercely.

Moacyr tries to advise her, "Daughter, we know that what Beto did was something reprehensible, but time has passed and Caio will not return to this building. You need to get on with your life, for Rosemary and Pedro."

Pamela casts a disdainful look at Moacyr, "Excuse me, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know you're my mother's boyfriend, but I ask you not to intrude."

"Pamela, I don't allow this!" Cristina gets angr

My wife is going to collect alimony, huh?" Vernon laughs at his own joke.Bernardo closes the door and shoots daggers through his eyes, "Don't be a clown, Vernon! What right did you have to bother my wife, making her jealous of Isabel Freire?"Vernon plays sly, "Me? I would never speak to your wife about such a thing!"Bernardo crosses his arms and looks at Vernon suspiciously, "Really, weren't you? I feel you have a very stron

    Kelvin enters the office where Daryl is calling a supplier."Look, I'm sorry it's not raining enough on your farm, but my lettuce order came in unsatisfactory. The foliage was yellowed and sunburned. When something like that happens, you should lower the price..." Daryl nods, "OK, I'll be reasonable with you. Talk to you next time, I need to attend to another matter." Daryl hangs up, "Yeah, little brother?""We are pleased to serve Josias Rocha." Kelvin announces pompously, "He even brought in the husband of a famous novelist, Mr. Freire.""I don't know, maybe Maggie does." Daryl frowns, "Kelvin, order our boss to give all of him to their dishes.""The chef already knows Mr. Rocha's tastes and is aware, Daryl." Kelvin lets out a sigh of relief.Josias's visit is more important than a food critic's!Meanwhile, Josias continues to meditate on the changes made to Crystal Blue."Harold, did you notice that all the tablecloths are new and

Daryl comments, surprising Stacy.Stacy smiles as she sees the boss standing very close to her, "Oh, Daryl, how are you?""I'm fine, what about today's service?""It was excellent. It doesn't even feel like the restaurant was closed for months. It looks like the customers were just waiting for us to come back." Stacy reports smiling.She's got her pockets full of tips."Can you let me know if Josias liked what he ordered?" That was Daryl's concern.Stacy ponders with her chin, "I don't know.

    Uélton is equally embarrassed to see Josias outside. The way he's wrapped himself in the blanket doesn't quite cover him up, letting Josias see he's naked."I'm not even going to ask the classic 'Am I interrupting something' because I definitely am!" Josias comments good-naturedly."Come in, buddy!" Uélton gives space and Josias enters, "Ehr... what time is it?""It's almost six o'clock." Josias replies, "Why didn't you wait until later?"Josias looks around the living room: the two sofas are in a bizarre position, indicating that they have been pushed around because of vigorous and violent sexual activity. Books, records, and a lamp were knocked over. It looked like a WWII scene!Uélton narrows his eyes trying to locate himself. Six pm? That means they've been since...

Josias just rests looking up with his eyes closed, as the feeling is relaxing. "Feeling better, honey?" Melissa questions him. "Yes, thanks for asking." Josias answers with his eyes still closed. "I found it interesting what you talked about helping Seu Harold." Melissa turns off the dryer, "Because João Paulo was here today." Josias straightens up in the tub and opens his eyes, "What did my brother come here for?" "He came to question me about the enmity between his parents and the Freire family." Melissa stores the dryer in the drawer of one of the dressers, "Obviously, I avoided the subject." Josias is not comfortable with this, "You shouldn't shy away, dear. João Paulo is bothered about this war and wants to understand what's going on." Mel

"Dear mother-in-law, did you see what a horrible story Maggiezine put in place of yours?" Flavia asks disdainfully. "I haven't had a chance to read it yet," Isabel answers truthfully. But Flavia saw scoff and malice in Isabel's words and giggled ironically, "Of course, you haven't read it; you won't waste time with loser's stories. You're already writing the second book, correct?" Isabel apprehensively agrees, "Well… yes, but it's not because I despise the runner-up in the contest—" "Hey, you need to see the historical inaccuracy she got!"

    Igor is prepared to answer Josias's questions. "Josias, I know at first this might seem crazy. I didn't expect to fall in love with Stacy under the circumstances. But seeing her so desperate and unprotected... and knowing that it was my brother who caused her suffering... something inside of me says I must reward her." Josias smiles slightly, trying to help him, "Igor, remember that it's precisely because you're Marcelo's brother that Stacy might not want to date you." William, still hidden, nods frowning. Igor lost his mind? "So don't react as you've already won the contest." Josias continues to advise Igor, "If Stacy decides to date another guy, you have to let her go." "I can't let her go, she's mine!" Igor yells in disbelief. Josias's eyes widen, "But, it's exactly this unreasonable and domineering posture that Stacy doesn't want in her life anymore, Igor!

    In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

    The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

    At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

    The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

    At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here.

Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling.
