Daryl is now in the salon, watching the happy customers go by. There is a line of customers who have already eaten and are now going to pay the bill.

Daryl goes to the bar where Stacy is helping the bartender check which bottles are missing.

"I think the genipap liqueur is also running out," Stacy reports.

"Well, I confess that I take a sip on the sly." 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. I didn't answer him directly, although I saw him with Mr. Harold."

"I hope

    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... Jeez!If it weren't for Josias showing up now, they wouldn't be stopping anytime soon!"William called you to let you know that you're going to pa

    It's Josias's turn to exude sensuality while in the bath full of foam. Melissa, wearing a sheer black negligee, is blow-drying her hair in the bathroom to keep her hubby company. 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

    Flavia visits Harold's house to criticize Maggiezine's new story. Reuben is with his grandfather watching the fishing show. "Look, grandson, how much shrimp!" Harold marvels at the catch and the fishing nets overflowing with shrimp. "Wow!" Reuben is amazed and awestruck. Isabel and Flávia are on the other sofa. "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!" Flávia continues in the harsh criticism, "We don't know if the story takes

    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! Don't you realize you just sounded like Marcelo?" William sneers, sa

    Kelvin and Stacy get the shock of their lives when they see William standing in the doorway of Crystal Blue. Did you need that dramatic appearance? William can't help but smile slightly, "So, Stacy, you still regret not being Melissa's sister-in-law? There's still time for you to correct that gap in your life." Stacy feels shivers come down her spine. William is now looking very sexy and attractive wearing a pinstriped suit and tie to match his attire. His Oxford shoes are so shiny they seem to reflect the image of the person looking at them as a mirror. That bum and slacker William who used to watch TV all day in Josias's penthouse is gone! Stacy smiles satisfyingly at the sight of William changed for the better, "Good morning, William. Have you made a reservation?" "Unfortunately, no. But, you still haven't answered my question. Do you want to marry me?" He glances at Kelvin, "Or do you want to marry this one?" Kelvin shakes his hand

Do you have a reserved table?"Stacy holds back a laugh, offending William."What's the fun?" William questions through gritted teeth."You are the joke." Stacy composes herself, "You didn't want to forgive me after knowing what happened to me; now you don't have the right to know how my love life is going anymore.""You mean you've resumed your love life?"

Why do you want to punch the runner-up in the contest we had in 1988?""It's because she's causing the laughing stock of my favorite magazine, and you!" Elza stands with her arms crossed and has a fierce look in her eyes, "And I also heard some rumors while walking through the hallways."Vernon rolls his eyes impatiently, "Argh, don't tell me you believe I had sex with her, is that it? That lie would make sense if I slept with Isabel Freire because she was the champion!"Elza approaches Vernon in two steps and slaps him, "You bastard! You really wanted to sleep with that semi-literate, huh?"Vernon almost collapses with inertia from the slap, "Of course not, are you crazy?""Well, I wanted to slap this Marcia, but I wasted my energy on you." Elza shrugs and continues, "So when are you going to start publishing the third-place writer's story?"Vernon turns redder t

    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

    At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. 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. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

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. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,

Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.

    At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

    At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through.
