Maggie is confused about what Bernardo wants concerning Shirley getting involved in his grandson's life.She goes to the visitors' seat, “Honey, are you sure about this?”“You keep telling me that your mother will turn our son against you.” Bernardo asserts, “I will never allow it if she really tries.”“That's true. I don't want my mom telling my son he was fathered by another guy.”“See how dangerous this mental poison is for our baby? I want to live in peace and raise a healthy child.”“Bernie, you better talk to her.” Maggie asks in a cute tone, “If I was the bearer of the news, she would be able to kick my belly to force a miscarriage.”Bernardo nods slowly, “I get it, honey. Let me take care of the beast.”Maggie smiles. She stands up and changes the subject, “What about Jack's visit yesterday?”Bernardo also smiles, “He showed me the draft of the next book.”“Oh, I thought he was going to take advantage of being on LCN to be the heartthrob in the next soap opera.” Maggie jokes.
At the Ramos supermarket, Miguel visits Beto as he said it to Pamela. Beto is surprised by the visit of the guy who snatched his wife.“What do you want?” Beto gets up from the swivel chair, “Did you get the wrong place? This is the warehouse and my office, the place to shop is over there!”Miguel gives a slightly wry smile, “What fear is this?”“I'm not afraid of another male!” Beto yells.“But that's what it looks like. I came to talk to you, Mr. Reis.”“We have nothing else to talk about! You took my dear wife from me and the child I thought was mine was actually yours. Have you guys not humiliated me enough?”Miguel raises his eyebrows, “As I see it, you're still bitter about what happened between us in 1991. Is that why I should be on the alert?”Beto lowers his voice, “On alert, you? I'm not a threat. You're the one who's coming here.”“Rosemary can't stop talking about you and her brother,” Miguel growls.Beto realizes this irritates Miguel and smiles wryly, “Of course, I'm her
Katherine thinks she has heard ghosts when Jock tells her that Josias will not marry her.She goes to the radio and turns it off.Jock gives a slight smile so it doesn't make it obvious he's amused by her suffering, “Did you hear me right, did the music get in the way?”“Stop making fun of me.” Katherine turns to him, “How could you be sure this is what my Josias wants? The Sunset Village mansion will be built and we will live together as a family.”“Looks like you don't stand a chance. I was at the Rocha Hotel and I heard Josias Rocha talking to the chief financial officer, Tiago Bento. He wants to know if Angela is a more pleasant person to live with.”“So he's not enjoying living with me?” Katherine is shocked.“One of the reasons is that damn radio with the volume up!” Jock warns her, “I stayed fifteen minutes ringing the doorbell.”“And how did you get in?” Katherine crosses her arms.“The doorman tried to call to announce me, but you didn't answer.”From the living room, they he
At the Ramos Supermarket, Gustavo is taking a break from work. He rests in a corner of the store while watching the other people's activity.Tiago finds him and approaches him, “Excuse me, I'm looking for Gustavo and your colleagues told me it was you.”“Yes, it's me.” Gustavo is surprised.Tiago extends his hand, “Pleased to meet you, I'm Tiago Bento, CFO of Rocha Constructions. I need to talk to you, young man.”Gustavo shakes Tiago's hand with interest, “What can I help you with?”“My master Josias Rocha wants to know if Angela is easy to get along with. You know, he's going to build the mansion in Sunset Village and he's thinking about formalizing the union with one of the concubines.”Gustavo finds it funny how everyone calls Katherine and Angela 'concubines' as if this were true, “I understand. Well, I can assure you that I have nothing against my friend. Angela is a quiet person.”“And you don't have any romantic relationship with her?”“No, we're just roommates.” Gustavo wiggl
Josias and João Paulo enter the penthouse and are surprised by the heavenly silence. Radio is not making everyone deaf.“What miracle is this?” João Paulo marvels, “Do we finally have peace?”“I can't believe it unless she's sleeping.” Josias suspects with irony.However, Josias's hunch is unfounded. They hear the pressure cooker whistle.Both brothers go there and find Katherine in an apron operating the pots. She checks rice with sausage and another pan with roasted chicken and vegetables.She proudly turns to the Rocha brothers, “Good evening, everyone! Dinner is almost ready. Go shower and change.”Katherine's domesticated voice also surprises both of them.“Thank you, Kate.” Josias is forced to acknowledge, “I hope dinner is appetizing.”Josias and João Paulo leave.“What animal bit her?” João Paulo has not yet assimilated the novelty.“The bug of common sense.” Josias solemnly responds, “Just as I am trying to choose who will be the next Mrs. Rocha...”João Paulo smiles mischiev
Elza finds her pretty happy hubby whistling the song “Merry-Go-Round” by Deborah Blando. He even misses the knot on his shoelaces, but he doesn't even notice.“Is it happiness to finally have a civil conversation with your son?”“It was terrific, honey!” Vernon vibrates as if he were the same age as João Paulo, “Without him realizing it, he and I agreed on something: that William Campos will pay for having offended you!”Vernon gets up from the couch and Elza hugs him, “And best of all, Josias didn't stir up animosity. You have to admit that this time he was a gentleman.”Vernon shakes his head, “Yeah... maybe. All in due time. What are we going to do about William?”Elza puts her hand on her chin and meditates, “Um... how about we find out something about him and publish it in the newspaper?”“Public defamation has always been our best weapon.” Vernon agrees, “Although it didn't work with Isabel Freire.”“It didn’t work with that slum dweller because Josias supported her.” Elza remi
In Beto's office, he and Pamela face off over the confusion involving him and Miguel. Beto smiles mockingly when he realizes that he managed to make Miguel jealous.“As I see, the handsome one lacks self-confidence, eh? I bet he brutally and cruelly pounded you to 'remind' you that you married him.” Beto mocks her.“On the contrary, yesterday he barely kissed me good night!” Pamela responds furiously.“So he's disgusted with you! He knows that months ago we had our bestial coitus session.” Beto's eyes are shining with lust.However, Pamela kicks him again, this time drawing blood from Beto's nose!After moaning in pain, Beto complains, “What strong legs are these? Are you working out at a gym?”Pamela brags, “At the Damascene house we have some exercise and weight machines. I need to be a strong woman: the damsel in distress is out of fashion!”“You slut!” Beto misses the fun and barks with the blood still oozing, “Go back to your cuckold husband! One more kick and I'll report you, hu
In the Rocha penthouse, Katherine is talking to her father on the phone.“Dad, has the phone company already run the cables to the farm?”“No, I still have to come to Itaporanga.” Ephraim complains, “Daughter, have you finished packing to go home?”Katherine rolls her eyes, “Dad, stop asking that. I love Josias and I will be Mrs. Rocha.”“That's funny, I don't find any of that in the papers that come around here.”“That's exactly why I don't want to go back to the countryside!” Katherine barks, “We seem to be isolated from the rest of the world!”“Oh, so things are happening there?” Ephraim asks with understanding.“Yes, I am managing to please Josias as an exemplary housewife and mother. By the way, I need to take J.J to the dentist because he's having his teeth changed. You never ask how your grandson is.”Ephraim says again, “Okay, daughter, I won't make you late for your appointment. Goodbye!”“Bye, d—” Katherine realizes that Ephraim has already hung up. She hangs up the phone an
