At LCN studios, everything is ready to start the interview with Isabel Freire on Lisandro’s Show. The host is excited as the makeup team improves the interviewee's appearance.“What a thrill, Izzy! Our ratings will skyrocket with your presence!”“Were you not satisfied with the interview given to Pamela Damascene?” Isabel asks as the girl applies eyeshadow to her eyelids.Lisandro purses his lips, “The interview was going well until she said that nonsense about surpassing Melissa Campos. I am surprised that Josias Rocha did not demand the cancellation of my show.”“Josias is a good man and he knows it wasn't your fault,” Isabel explains to him.“Let's start!” Someone from backstage yells.In the middle of the audience, Elza and Vernon are sitting with grimaces of envy and spite.“Five, four, three, two, one...”“On the air, another edition of Lisandro’s Show!” Everyone applauds, except the Queiroz couple.“Good afternoon to our dear audience!” Lisandro greets everyone, “Welcome to ano
“And... cut!”Ends Lisandro's Show. The audience continues to applaud as Elza and Vernon try to get out of the way.Lisandro hugs Isabel, “Dear Izzy, thank you so much for coming. The public loves you.”“Was my apology convincing?” Isabel asks worriedly.“Of course. We have an excuse documented by my program. That will save you a lawsuit.”“And the worst thing is that Pamela Damascene's husband has a law firm that represents Rocha Constructions. Can you imagine the confusion?”Isabel hurriedly heads outside while Lisandro giggles.Backstage, she meets Uélton.“Mom, congratulations on the program, you did very well.”“Thank you, son. Are you aware?”Uélton sighs, “About grandpa Chuck? Yes, he went to the hospital. My father is taking care of the children.”“So come on, Flavia is already there to comfort Melissa.”Mother and son go outside the LCN to order a taxi.******Meanwhile, at the General Hospital, William is scandalized by Kelvin's presence.“What are you doing here, you idiot?
Melissa is taken aback by Kelvin's dating proposal there in the hospital lounge, with her dying grandfather.However, it was she who called him, asking him to help her in her affliction. She declared to William that she needed Kelvin. It's already clear to everyone that they've been behaving more than just friends.Finally, Melissa smiles, and the tears are tears of joy, “Yes, Kelvin. I accept to be your girlfriend.”“Oh, Melissa...”When Kelvin and Melissa start kissing......The door opens and Josias and Angela catch the two of them!Melissa and Kelvin walk away and stand up. Angela is furious at what she sees.“What is this indecency going on here?” Angela yells, “We're in a public place, you perverts!”“Calm down, Angela,” Josias warns her.Melissa composes herself, “Josias, have you seen my grandfather?”“Not yet, Melissa. David had a fever.” Josias takes his wallet out of the pocket of his dress pants and takes out some bills, “Angela, pay a taxi for you to go home. Remember tha
Carlos Campos died a few days later of natural causes. He had no other way, the good old man was already eighty-three years old and fulfilled his mission on Earth.Josias announced that Rocha Constructions' twelfth-anniversary party would be postponed because Melissa was the organizer. Everyone understood.The funeral ceremony was in the same fancy pavilion where everyone mistakenly held Josias's “wake” because of Katherine and Ephraim's lies.Speaking of them, behold, Ephraim is calling his daughter in the Rocha penthouse.“Daughter, even here in the countryside, news arrived that Josias's grandfather passed away. Was this guy really that important?”Katherine sneers, “Oh no, he only got famous because of Josias and Melissa's marriage. The deceased is not Josias's grandfather by blood, he is on Melissa's side.”“Well, it was precisely because he had a family relationship with Josias that he became famous! You know what that means, right?”Katherine gets embarrassed, “Yes, that J.J an
Beto is embarrassed to parade in front of a large audience wearing boxer shorts. He tries to cover himself with his hands.He wanted to impress Diane by thinking she was in the lobby.“Sorry, guys, I didn't know there were so many people!” He tries to redeem himself.“It doesn't matter!” Moacyr complains, “Even if there was no one here, it's not nice to parade around in so little clothes! Want to catch a cold?”Beto smiles and lightly punches his rigid chest, “This body here is very healthy, Seu Moacyr! I don't catch colds that easily.”Cristina purses her lips, “Whatever, what are you doing out here?”“I wanted to know if there was any mail.” Beto lies.Everyone feels the lie. Beto was only in his father's building until Cristina and Moacyr returned. Why would the post office divert his mail here?“Well, since you're all worried about my health, I'm going to get dressed.” Beto turns on his heels and quickly retreats.Benjamin snaps his fingers, “I know! Wouldn't that be this showing
Josias, João Paulo, and Tiago are horrified to see Katherine more interested in who she will appear in the newspapers than in respecting the mourning for Carlos's death.Josias grabs Katherine's arm, “You fool! Shut up, this is not a party or a parade!”Katherine grits her teeth, “You're dying to take pictures with that Angela, huh?”João Paulo meddles in, “How absurd, this is not our primary concern!”“Okay, just let me know when the photographers arrive!” Katherine breaks free of Josias and goes to the seats with J.J.Tiago nods, “Master, are you sure you intend to spend the rest of your life with this viper?”Josias sighs, “I don't know, Tiago. Melissa I already lost. She started dating Kelvin Mountain and I wish them well.”“Maybe the aforementioned Angela will be more pleasant. I don't know.” Tiago shrugs and walks away.Josias looks thoughtful.Enter Elza and Vernon. Vernon is wearing a white suit and pants, the only black there is in his tie. João Paulo widens his eyes and feel
Maggie feels like she's found a new source of information to publish in her magazine, as using Pamela didn't work out too well due to her bad press on Lisandro's Show.She smiles wide and meets Katherine, “So you will be the next Mrs. Rock?”“Well, I'm living in the Rocha penthouse, right?” Katherine hints rather than answering directly.“And how did you guys meet?”Katherine feels startled. Would it be wise to talk about her and her father's plan to kidnap Josias?She coughs, “Ehr... we'd better make an appointment to talk, don't you think so?”Maggie nods, “Of course, let's respect today's grief. If the Rocha penthouse phone number is still the same, I will call.”“Yes, thank you very much for your attention.” Katherine feels on cloud nine.Meanwhile, Daryl, Kelvin, and Shirley enter the pavilion.“Oh, damn.” Shirley grumbles, “Your sister already came with the vultures.”“Calm down, Mom, these are ordinary people who need to work.” Kelvin comments.Shirley smiles, “You're always th
Moment of respect with the arrival of Melissa and her family. The flashes are the only thing that makes noise.Melissa is wearing the same black but grandiose dress as she mistakenly mourned the "death" of Josias. Now the wake is legitimate, unfortunately.No one dares to interrupt her steps or ask questions.Melissa, Simeon, and Dora go to the coffin where they are greeted by Josias. Josias beckons Kelvin to join her.“Oh, Josias, it's hurting so much... my grandfather...” Melissa cries on her ex-husband's shoulder.Vernon smirks, plotting to publish defamatory material with this encounter. Photographers don't rest their cameras.Dora is wearing a black veil and hat. Simeon, the son of the deceased, decided to keep the tears to himself.“You can vent, buddy.” Josias pats his shoulder.“I've cried a lot at home, Josias. Thank you for everything.”The silence was broken by William as he turned to the audience.“Oh no, what the hell! What are these people doing here?”The others present
