After some time, the people of Lagoon City returned to their normal lives.Except for Maggie and Bernardo.In their apartment, Bernardo got the biggest shock when he heard the sounds of vomiting coming from the bathroom.“Honey, what's going on?” He knocks on the door.“I think dinner made me sick.” Maggie struggles to respond, panting.“Allow me to come in and help you.”“No, my love, it's disgusting in here. I’ll clean it.”Bernardo has a mental snap. Did their plan to try for a child come to fruition?Later, in the kitchen, they have breakfast. Maggie is chewing slowly, afraid of getting sick again.“Honey, did our plan to have a child work out?” Bernardo breaks the silence.Maggie's eyes widen, “Could be, honey!”“Go to the doctor. There is a lady named Doctor Silvana who is famous for taking care of everyone we know, including Miss Campos.”“Miss Campos who will become Mrs. Mountain, with my mother's blessing.” Maggie smiles sweetly.“Darling, you haven't talked to your mother si
At Crystal Blue, Daryl is surprised by Beto's presence. What does the manager of the Ramos supermarket want with him?“Mr. Reis, what a surprise. Want something?”Beto is serious and suspicious, “I want to talk to you in private.”“Let's go to my office.” Daryl gestures for Beto to join him.After that, they go there.Frederick asks with narrowed eyes, “Have I missed something?”“This guy was the husband of Pamela who is now called Mrs. Damascene.” Benjamin explains, “He is the son of the lord who took in Josias Rocha when he was eighteen and ran away from home.”Frederick nods in understanding.Inside the office, Daryl and Beto sit down.“You have made me curious, Mr. Reis.”“Let's get straight to the point.” Beto maintains the pose of a serious man, “Are you really going to date Diane Barbosa?”Daryl is surprised, “What do you mean, Mr. Reis? I've been dating Diane Barbosa for over a month now.”“So there was no bond strong enough to resist the break.” Beto smiles slightly, “I sugge
At Dr. Silvana's office, Maggie is back awaiting the result with Bernardo, who is still reading the brochure about babies.“Do you think we'll make it, honey?” Bernardo asks with his eyes on the brochure.“Get pregnant? You didn't disappoint on the tests, honey.” Maggie responds with conviction.“No, I meant are we going to be able to take care of the baby with love and care. How are we going to manage Maggiezine? Are you taking maternity leave? Will we have to hire a nanny?”Maggie smiles, “These are questions we'll know the answer to in time. At the moment what I can tell you is that I am very excited and confident that we will be good parents.”Bernardo stops reading and leaves the brochure on the desk, “And what are we going to do about Shirley?”Maggie snorts, “Did you have to spoil the moment?”“We need to talk about our son's grandmother.”“She can take care of her grandson as long as she holds back the comments about his mother,” Maggie responds sourly.“Do you think Shirley w
William is surprised to see Jock chatting comfortably on the storeroom phone. And Jock also notices the Head of Engineering's perplexity and decides to end the conversation.“I need to hang up and get back to work.”“You still haven't brought my daughter back,” Ephraim grumbles like a child on the other side.“It takes time. I'm working hard and she barely leaves the penthouse.”“Have your way, I'll wait.”“But Ephraim, you don't talk about your grandson—” The call goes silent on the other end. Ephraim definitely doesn't care about his grandson!William crosses his arms and stands on the threshold so Jock doesn't come out.“How funny! People have been saying that I forbade the workers to use the phone here, even for emergencies like my grandfather's death. Should I punish you, Jock?”Jock's eyes widen. He realizes that Dora reported the slander to her son!“Sir, I'm not aware of that order.”“You don't know because this order doesn't exist!” William snaps, “Of course, I don't want you
In Teodoro's building, Diane is explaining to Cristina how the days were when she and Beto stayed together while her aunt and uncle were on their honeymoon. The lobby radio plays "Have I Told You Lately" by Rod Stewart. “Aunt Cris, how was your relationship with Roberto and Cousin Pam?” Cristina is surprised by the question, “They were married in 1985 and Rosemary was born in the same year, a few months earlier. In 1988 Pedro was born.” Diane is stunned, “Wow, so they've been married for years!” “Yes, and they weren't unhappy years.” Cristina lowers her head, “I'm ashamed to say that it was Pam's fault that the marriage fell apart. They could have been calm until today.” “Pam's current husband doesn't have something to do with this?” Cristina purses her lips, “Unfortunately, yes. I don't think I need to tell you the rest of the story.” “Well, now Roberto has got it into his head that he needs to have something with me.” Diane reveals, “He thinks I should correspond with him like
At Marçal Publishing, Bernardo is checking with Jack about the draft of the second book he intends to publish.The publishing house owner reads with an interested smile, “Jack, it looks like this book is going to outsell the first one!”“Will my work be adapted into a TV soap opera, like ‘A rose in the desert’?” Jack asks anxiously.“Who knows... if LCN is interested, we won't object to copyright. Everything can be done by arrangement. The TV station representative who came here was a very good person.”Bernardo holds out the draft and Jack takes it back, “Thank you very much, sir.”“I thank you for making my company earn money. There was a time when I thought about closing down here and firing everybody. First, we had the biography of Josias Rocha as our salvation, then the books by Isabel Freire, and now your books. We will be forever grateful.”Jack and Bernardo shake hands. Maggie enters next.“Honey, my entire team was thrilled with my pregnancy— hello, Mr. Motta.”“Hello, Mrs. M
At Crystal Blue, Kelvin is talking to Melissa on the phone. Melissa is on a spare phone in one of the LCN studios.“So, my love, how are things at the restaurant?” Melissa asks in a honeyed tone, “Do we have the famous grilled salmon today?”Kelvin smiles, “We'll always have it for you, honey.”“Great. I'm taking some friends for lunch. Do you already know Flávia Freire, Isabel's daughter-in-law?”“Yes, I know her as a customer. Everyone wonders how such a beautiful girl got married to a big-eared one.”Melissa laughs, “Careful, I talk to his mom about this and she freaks out.”Daryl bursts into the office huffing like a Spanish bull.“Honey, my big brother is here and we need to talk.”“You can keep dating, little brother.” Daryl gestures.But Melissa is already saying on the other side, “OK, we're going to start shooting another episode and the director is asking for silence. Bye, kiss!”Kelvin sends kisses over the phone and hangs up.Daryl sits in the chair, unhappy with the story
Elza has no desire to discuss her marriage to William. Why is the boy interested in this?She helps herself to more butter cookies, “I'm sorry, young man. You and I are not intimate enough to discuss personal matters.”“Then you shouldn't talk to yourself like a madwoman.” William asserts.“I was stunned by my husband's outburst, but overall we are very happy.”William nods, “Yeah, you can tell you're happy. I should pay more attention to you guys to understand why Josias has become such a scoundrel and irresponsible.”Elza slams her cup on the table, “My son is the president of this company, how can he be irresponsible?”“He's quite a good brain for business.” William scoffs, “But when it comes to love...”“You know very well that it was two sluts who plotted against my son!” Elza yells.“And they did, huh? The two became pregnant and mothered two bastards.”“Don't offend my grandchildren, it's not their fault!”“You call bastards 'grandchildren'? It's explained. Josias is crooked be
