Dora is taking care of her grandchildren in the living room. Caroline plays with dolls while Alan and Caio are reading Spider-Man comics sitting on the couch. The radio is playing the song “Now and Forever” by Richard Marx.The landline rings and Dora answers, “Hello?”On the other side, a distressed Cristina is saying, “Dora, you need to be strong!”Dora feels shivers down her spine, “Cristina? What happened?”“Your son went to mistreat my daughter and she defended herself by hitting him on the head with the phone. William passed out and went to the hospital!”Dora feels her heart race, “What? Cristina, this story is badly told!”“I still don't know all the details, I'm just calling everyone I know! It was Lilian, Ernesto's wife, who warned me.”“But why did William go to bother Pamela? He was working at Ramos Supermarket!” Dora is desperate.The mention of William makes Caio stop reading the comics.“I'm going to Europe Garden. We need to know exactly what happened, we cannot suffer
At Crystal Blue, Daryl approaches Kelvin. The noon service is already ending.“Daryl, where have you been? Have you had lunch yet?” Kelvin asks worriedly.“I was in Teodoro's building.” Kelvin starts to smile, but Daryl cuts him off, “No, bro, nothing funny happened. They called there saying that Will Campos is in a coma in the hospital.”Kelvin is surprised, “What happened?”“From the information I got, Will had an affair with Pamela over that problem.”“Oh, damn, Melissa must need me!” Kelvin grieves.“She must not even know about it. Nobody knows how to contact her at LCN. Come on, little brother, I'll cover your post here.”“Service is already over.” Kelvin quickly strips off the tuxedo.Benjamin walks by and notices the brothers’ stress, “What's up, guys?”“Your cousin William is in the hospital, Ben.” Daryl responds, “Blow to the head by Pamela in self-defense.”“LIE!” Ben drops a platter, “Mr. Mountain, never, EVER believe a word that comes out of that whore’s mouth, do you hea
Jack returns home after shooting the commercial at the marketing agency. Ronaldo is on the couch watching TV, enjoying his retirement.“So, son, how was it? Are you still sane?”Jack smiles weakly, “Nothing wrong happened, Dad.”“How was the commercial?”Jack hesitated for a few seconds as to whether or not he responded, “Remember, Dad, I only performed a dummy job. Don't take the commercial too seriously, it's to promote the company your eldest son works for.”Ronaldo smiles warmly, “Then I will love and comment with my friends at the Seniors Club.”Jack has a Herculean effort to smile, “I think I'm going to take a shower and then leave.”“Go there.” The commercial ends and Ronaldo has his attention on TV.******Vernon visits the Rocha Hotel and finds Elza talking to the main kitchen chef.“Remember, you have the authority and duty to demand that your subordinates do their best for our hotel guests. We don't want to go out in the society columns serving the worst dishes.”“I underst
Jock Russo arrives at the apartment after a strenuous journey at the Rocha Mansion. Frederick is reading a sports magazine while the radio is playing "She's So Beautiful" by Double You.“Hello, Fred! How was your work day?” Jock sits on the couch and takes off his boot.Frederick is bothered by the foot-smearing, “It was interesting, to say the least. The future Mrs. Rocha called wanting to go to bed with you.”Jock has a start, “Angela Sousa?”“No, I'm talking about the deluded one.” Frederick laughs, “The one who was here last year screaming and begging you for mercy in front of my parents.”Jock smirks, “Um... I see. She wants to moan again, huh?”“That means Mr. Rocha continues to keep her in the fridge.” Frederick lectures, “And that the chosen one is the other, Miss Sousa.”“Okay, I'll call her. Or rather, I'll take a shower and appear in the penthouse.”Frederick is wary, “Are you sure, man? She's so anxious to keep it all a secret, that she even tried to buy my silence. How ar
Miguel enters his house satisfied with another day of work. From the foyer, he hears the song “Zombie” by The Cranberries.Rosemary approaches him, “Daddy Miguel, you're here!”“Hi, Rose!” Miguel hugs her as if she were his daughter, “Where is your mother?”“Mom has locked herself in her room screaming like crazy and doesn’t want to come out anymore,” Rosemary reports innocently.However, Miguel has a start. He thinks Pamela is locked in the master suite making love to another man.“Is your brother Peter here?”“He still is.”Miguel whistles in relief. Pamela is not in bed with Beto. Then...The owner of the Damascene house climbs the stairs and tries to enter the suite.“Honey, it's me! Open the door, what's going on?”A few seconds pass without Miguel having an answer. He knocks insistently, “PAMELA!”Unexpectedly, Pamela opens the door. She had just showered and was dressed in clean, casual clothes. Her hair still smelled of shampoo.“Hey, darling! Why did you knock with desperatio
Katherine is talking to her father on the phone. It's amazing that even with so many fights and arguments, they still talk to each other again as if nothing had happened.“Dad, I need your help,” Katherine speaks.“Will my dear daughter finally return here?” Ephraim speaks eagerly.“No, you don't accept my grandson.” Katherine pouts.“The connection is bad, daughter.” Ephraim fakes this lie as a pretext for hanging up.Katherine doesn't fall for it, “Stop the show, Dad! I need money to shut up Frederick. You know his parents, Nathanael and Maria.”Ephraim gets angry, “Daughter, Josias Rocha said that if I touch this boy's parents, he will ruin me. I'm improving my business, this year's wheat and coffee crop is exceeding my expectations... I can't mess my farm!”Katherine snorts, “Okay, I get it. Just send me money so I can bribe Fred. In other words, buy him something he won't refuse.”“Why do you need this?”“He found out I'm sleeping with Jock.”“WHAT?” Ephraim exclaims indignantly,
Josias feels awkward to find Elza and Vernon on the lounge doorstep as if they were hiding from the others. On top of that, Vernon had his notepad in his hand like every journalist.“Son, we saw you were arguing and we didn't want to interrupt.” Elza invents this excuse to save her husband.Josias approaches them, “Don't be afraid, you don't bother. On the contrary, glad you came.”However, Cristina doesn't agree, “Wait, you guys got bothered with me but are you going to let them in? Did you forget that it was this gentleman who started the whole mess by making the report denouncing William and the call girls?”Vernon tucks the notepad into the pocket of his dress shirt, “Madam, it was William who initiated the gratuitous offense to my wife when she went to visit her son at Rocha Constructions.”Simeon takes the floor, “Never mind, sir, your action only made things worse!”Vernon turns to Simeon, “And why didn't you know how to educate your son? He's been a pain in the ass since 1991.
Dr. Braggart is a little suspenseful but decides to reveal the result of William's health.“Mr. and Mrs. Campos... since you left there hasn't been any brain bleeds on William.”Simeon and Dora hug each other, very emotionally.“Thank God, doctor! Thank you.” Dora exclaims.“I am glad to have brought good news.” Braggart smiles, “However, I would like to keep William one more day with us for observation.”“He is in a coma?” Simeon asks.“No, he's just sleeping on medication. Today we don't apply anything, so he can wake up anytime.”“Then let's stay here.” Simeon states. Dora nods with him.Vernon approaches and finds the environment more relieved.“By your bright smiles, everything was fine.”The Campos couple turns to the unexpected visitor.“Vernon, glad you came.” Dora blurts out, “Where's Elza?”“My dear wife sent you good vibes, she has no grudges.” Vernon smiles like a shark. He looks at the windowpane, “Oh, he's still sleeping.”Finally, Simeon looks at the notepad, “And what
