On the premises of LCN, Isabel is celebrating with her family the victory of the first episode. Around them are members of the production of the soap.

“Honey, I want to propose this toast to you.” Harold raises a glass of soda, “May the entire project become a success!”

“Hurrah!” Everyone makes a toast, some with cups of coffee.

Reuben has nothing in his hands, but he holds it up anyway to imitate the adults.

Isabel's eyes are red from crying with emotion, “Oh, people, there are no more tears to come out.”

“You need to accept that you have a potential, mother-in-law.” Flavia admonishes her, “When Reuben grows up, I definitely want to be your representative.”

“I've grown up, mother!” Reuben tries to convince her.

Uélton laughs, “Son, when you grow up, you will wish you were a child again.”

He gives his wife a light kiss.

Jack Motta and Octavio approach them.

“The novel based on my book also passed the goal. LCN expected 4 rating points.” Jack informs Isabel.

“Then join the party, my de

    Daryl is concerned about the way Diane mentions Beto. It stands to reason that a girl like Diane would be impressed by the seductive appearance of Seu Teodoro's son.“Did you like him?” Daryl asks as he checks the bottles at the bar.“It was a pleasure to meet him, but I didn't fall for him,” Diane responds already understanding where he was going.“OK, not that it's any of my business.” Daryl tries to hide his nervousness. Thirty years and he still doesn't know how to behave around a beautiful woman like Diane.“He's a good-looking guy with a good physique.” Diane assures him, “but my interest is in someone else.”Daryl finishes checking the vodka bottles and turns to her, smiling in relief.Meanwhile, Melissa comes in wearing a brown pantsuit, feeling light and happy.

They are still sleeping in separate rooms and Josias hasn't touched her since she moved into the penthouse.But Ephraim still hasn't received a report from Jock, “Well, if you say so... but remember to call the police if he overreacts with you.”Katherine wiggles frantically, “Dad, I love him!

    At Crystal Blue, Diane visits the restaurant again to talk to Daryl. She's already getting to know the employees.“Good morning, Diane.” Frederick greets her, “Daryl is in his office.”“Is he very busy?” Diane asks genuinely concerned not to get in the way.“No, you can go there. He said to let you through.” Frederick winks.Diane doesn't understand (or pretends not to) the wink and heads for the office.Kelvin approaches him, “So, Fred?

Among the crowd of colorful helmets, Simeon stands out with the white helmet.He approaches Uélton who takes a break to have a snack. Their battery-powered radio plays “Don’t Talk, Just Kiss” by Right Said Fred. Uélton is laughing because he watched the video clip.Simeon asks him, “Are you laughing because two of your team members were dozing on the seventh floor?”Uélton swallows the ham sandwich he was chewing, “No, it's because of the music. I didn't know this was happening.”Simeon takes a deep breath, “Uélton, I can't be everywhere at once. The more the hotel grows, the more difficult it becomes for me. I need the team leaders to help me with discipline as well.”“I told

Try this blouse with the jeans I indicated.”Diane is embarrassed by the size of the neckline, “It will make Daryl look more at my boobs than my face.”Pamela frowns, “And isn't that the intention?”Diane is lost. This is not the vocabulary of a respectable lady.“No, we're getting to know each other better,” Diane answers with her head down.Pamela smirks, “The best way to get to know a man is to be naked beneath him, moaning his name. Isn't that what you want?”“NO!” Diane blushes, “I doubt Daryl Mountain is that kind of disrespectful man!”Pamela wilts like a flower, “Ah... Daryl Mountain?

    Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

    Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

    Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

    At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag.

    At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
