Inside the apartment, Josias doesn't know if he's happy or upset that João Paulo discovered the secret.The radio is playing “Why” by Annie Lennox.“Hearing this?” Josias jokes, “That's the question I have for you, little brother: why are you here?”“I wanted to see you, big bro!” João Paulo is astonished, “Don't scold me for this. You don't know how much I've missed you!”Josias nods with a slight smile, “I know. Unfortunately, I didn't plan for that.”Ernesto joins in the conversation, “That's what we're talking about, João Paulo. Josias was apparently rescued by a farmer and was without communication with the real world for weeks. Josias healed his wounds at the Bezerra farm. But, he found out that Mr. Bezerra was planning to keep him stranded on the farm forever.”João Paulo is more shocked, “How crazy! This is kidnapping!”Josias and Ernesto sit on the sofa.“Yes, that's why I ran away from there.” Josias explains, “I hid in another place and became fond of the family there. When
At Crystal Blue, João Paulo enters looking for Frederico, but Kelvin blocks his steps.“Hi, young man, do you have a reserved table?”João Paulo thought Kelvin was mocking him. The restaurant is full of people in suits and ties having lunch, and he's in jeans and a denim jacket.“I'm looking for Frederick.” João Paulo responds with a reservation.“Hey, he's busy out there disposing of garbage bags,” Kelvin responds with a chuckle.Melissa walks in with Elza at this point.“Mr. Mountain, I have a table reserved for two.” Melissa turns to João Paulo, “Hello, João! Why are you here?”“For nothing.” João Paulo gets nervous.“Son, do not enter this illustrious restaurant in these simple clothes.” Elza advises him, “Where are those clothes that Josias told you about? They are of a good brand and more appropriate to be here.”“Okay, mom, I'll remember that.” Suddenly João Paulo remembers something to justify himself, “I wanted to see Ben.”“Ben comes in later since he studies in the morning,
Maggie, Melissa, and Elza, along with all the Crystal Blue customers, are ecstatic to hear that Isabel's first book will be turned into a soap opera.Everyone claps their hands praising Isabel.Maggie and Elza clap just to cover their despise.Bernardo enters at this very moment, “What's going on? Who is being applauded?”Maggie turns to him before Isabel yells again, “Darling, Mrs. Freire has just informed me that LCN wants to produce a prime-time soap opera based on ‘Love Just Happens’.”Bernardo smiles at Isabel, “Oh, how wonderful! It’s our work once again being spread throughout Brazil!”“Thank you, Mr. Marçal.” Isabel responds sweetly, “I needed to talk to you about this.”“I completely agree. Have you confirmed with them?”“Since Marçal Publishing does not object, I will sign the contract this afternoon.”Bernardo turns to Maggie, “Honey, you already know what to do!”“What?” Maggie is caught off guard.“Well, you will set aside some pages of Maggiezine to publicize the novel!
Josias doesn't know how to respond to João Paulo. He even mentioned that it would be nice to let Melissa follow her heart. But would he be ready?“João Paulo, I don't know if I can answer you now.”“If you can't answer me, it's because you still love Melissa, and you can't bear to see her with another guy.”Josias tries to disguise, “Kelvin Mountain is a good guy; he's a better choice than Adrian.”“Then I won't interfere if she decides to date him. Well, that was it, I'll hang up. In the afternoon I pass some gossip to Fred.”João Paulo hangs up. Josias turns to Frederick.“And then?” He asks.“Prepare your ears. We have more revelations later.”******Jack is in front of Daniel Oliveira in the director's office. Both are seated vis-à-vis.“Would you like some water, some juice, Mr. Motta?”“No, thank you.” Jack smiles, “I don't understand why I'm being treated like a celebrity.”“Perhaps because you really are a celebrity.” Daniel flatters him.“Why did LCN summon me?”Daniel leans
Raymond stares at Moacyr with debauchery and defiance. Tiago perceives the unease between the rivals.“Oops, what an ugly stare is this, friends? Let’s celebrate Cristina’s recovery.”“Raymond, how long are you going to give up?” Moacyr didn't hear what Tiago said.“Never?” Raymond responds with mockery.“I suggest you give it up for Cristina's mental good. She won't like knowing you're going to jail.”Raymond undoes the smugy face.“Who says I'm going to jail?”“Detective Amoreira will realize that you were the one who sabotaged my car,” Moacyr answers somberly.“That's a lie! I would never do anything to harm Cris, precisely because I love her!”“You love her so much you'd rather her dead than live with another man.” Moacyr replies, “I know that kind of sick love.”Raymond rages, “Stop innuendo. Who should be investigated is your son! He was also against your marriage, but he didn't respect you.”“My son happened to be at the ceremony, I saw him from the altar.” Moacyr smiles evilly
In Teodoro's building, Pamela took the radio to the canteen. The song “Jump”, by Kris Kross, cheered up the tenants who celebrated the return of Cristina Barbosa.Raymond, however, could not even with the tastiest piece of cake sweeten his tongue when he heard the tenants call the landlady 'Mrs. Barbosa'.Pamela addresses him, “Dad, it looks like you're eating poop cake.”“I can't take it, daughter.” Her father's voice expresses all the hurt, “I'm going to kneel before everyone and beg your mother to marry me again.”Pamela jokes, “What for? For someone to sabotage your car and put Mom in a coma again? No, father, you wanted to venture out with that indigestible Abigail, mother felt defeated.”“Defeat will be what she has now, having to support and care for an invalid.”Pamela turns around and sees Cristina taking forkfuls of cake in Moacyr's mouth.“This was also a result of the accident, but soon he's walking again,” Pamela responds hopefully.Melissa, Carmen, Vânia, and Shirley app
And time continues to pass. At the Bezerra farm, Katherine is still unhappy with the outcome of her bizarre actions in 1991. She caresses her eight-month-old womb, sitting on the couch watching television. Jock appears before her shirtless and in jeans worn from hard work on the farm. The same hard work left his chest strong and his belly with the famous six-pack abs. “Are you feeling all right, dear?” Katherine glares at Jock. They are married, but Katherine has sworn never to see Jock as a husband. She wants Josias! However, there could not be a more loving, caring, and gentle husband than Jock. His amber eyes are kind and his voice shows interest and concern. “I am fine! Go wear a shirt and leave me alone!” “If anything happens, call Adelina.” He does not return the rudeness and respectfully withdraws. Katherine grabs the remote and throws it away, almost hitting the TV. Damn it! Where did Josias go? She had decided to name the baby Josias when the doctor informed her that
However, Elza is warning her husband as they have breakfast. “Man, forget about this revenge bullshit. Isabel Freire has a closed body and nothing we do bothers or harms her.” Vernon frowns, “I thought you hated her.” “I hate the maid, Flavia. She married into the Freire family and with that, we hate them by association.” “But it was just the maid who caught me with Mrs. Marçal and threatened to report this to her husband,” Vernon says this to bring Elza to his side. Indeed, Elza chokes on her sip of coffee, “What? It was her? So, darling, we urgently need revenge!” “To know that Mrs. Marçal does not agree with the promotion of the illiterate woman’s book give us a chance.” Vernon chews the buttered bread. “We have to go unnoticed by Melissa. She has already declared her support for the soap opera. Let's hope the ratings fail!” Elza and Vernon toast with their cups. ****** Maggie and Bernardo have breakfast at Crystal Blue, before Kelvin and the waiters start cleaning up. Th
