Beto returns to his office at the Ramos supermarket and is surprised to find Miguel waiting for him, frowning and about to kill him.“What are you doing there and why are you looking at me with that face?” Beto questions him without fear.“So you weren't present at your place of work? Is my suspicion well-founded?” Miguel yells.Beto opens his office and enters, with Miguel following behind.“I don’t know what you're talking about.”“I'm talking about you and Pamela having a depraved, adulterous moment! Where is my wife, you wretch?” Michael barks.Beto sits at his desk enjoying seeing Miguel vulnerable, “I don't carry that guilt. Before, I was the one who was like this, suspicious of all men in the world. Come on, Mr. Damascene, you always knew that Pamela was never a one-man woman.”“She's had bad luck with the wrong men, but now she's settled down with me, the right man for her. You are the one who wants revenge on me!” Miguel points his index finger at Beto.“Get that finger out o
Some time passed after the last events. With Pamela gone, Maggie's baby shower had to be held by the friends who work with her at Marçal Publishing. Maggie was pleased, but couldn't help but wonder about her friend.Then came the day of Henrique Marçal's birth. The event served to make Maggie and Bernardo happy, as they were very sad about what was happening in sports. Days earlier, the famous Brazilian pilot Ayrton Senna had died in an accident at the San Marino Grand Prix, in Italy. The country went into mourning for three days on the recommendation of the Government.At Lagoon City General Hospital, the commotion was intense among the Mountain family. Shirley, however, was the only one with reservations.Her unease only increased when she saw Jack Motta wanting to congratulate the newborn.“What the hell are you doing here?” She questions scandalously in the middle of the corridor, with several people passing by.Jack gets embarrassed, “I came to congratulate my friend.”Daryl trie
The next day, William was recovered and smiling on Lisandro's Show. Lagoon City wanted to know about the beloved ex-soccer player and his misadventure with “Mrs.” Damascene.Lisandro begins after enthusiastic applause from the audience, “Will, tell us how you are doing.”William responds charismatically, “I'm fine, Lisandro, thanks for asking.”“But it seems like months ago you were bedridden in the hospital. Can we know what happened or is it still a secret?”“No, Detective Amoreira will close the investigation. Pamela Damascene hit me on the head and I almost died from a brain bleed.”The audience is shocked. Lisandro makes a theatrical grimace.“How absurd, people. And why was she so mean?”“She wanted to discuss the custody of our son Caio. But the family court had already determined that I would have full custody. Unfortunately, my boy's mother failed as a good example and I had to take this energetic step.”“She resented it.”“She wanted to take advantage of my bad behavior last
Wednesday. Ronaldo is cozy in a sweater and blankets on his legs, sitting in the armchair, watching TV while the children go out to work.Then the commercial that Jack participated in finally airs on LCN breaks.The narrator says, “If you want to build or renovate, consider hiring the best construction company in Lagoon City, and one of the top 5 in Espírito Santo. Rocha Constructions has plans for the whole family!”During the narration, the commercial shows demonstrative scenes of a family in different everyday situations. Jack acts as the husband. The actress who plays his wife is very pretty and attractive.However, just 3 seconds of the advertisement show a couple's bedroom and Jack with the same actress playing the role of husband and wife who have just woken up.Jack appears in the living room, “So, Dad, what did you think of the commercial?”Ronaldo is unable to respond immediately.******William and Caio have breakfast at their house. The coexistence between father and son r
Ronaldo's silence about the commercial where Jack participated was enough to make Octavio appear.“Son, you said the commercial was sane and decent. But you were embracing a woman who was not your wife.”“In the commercial, she was my wife, father. It was just a representation.”“And you had to be shirtless?”“I was in my underwear and sweatpants, you could tell.”Octavio is amused, “What are you guys talking about? Did the commercial appear?”Ronaldo tries not to be cruel, “Yes, too modern for my taste, but your brother said he didn't get AIDS.”Suddenly the phone rings. Jack will answer.“Hello?”On the other side, a sweet, melodious female voice, “Jack, have you seen it? We went out on TV! You were wonderful as a husband, there are people here who think we are married in real life!”“I saw it too, Veronica. I didn’t think they were going to leave so many seconds of us in bed.”“I will be ready to record more promotional content. Let's get good money, it's Rocha Constructions after
In Teodoro's building, Tiago is disgusted with the prospect of Carmen already wanting to quit her job because of the confusion involving Pamela.“Honey, get this out of your head. Nobody is trying to lynch you or anything.” He responds affectionately.Carmen smiles at him, “I know you want to cheer me up, darling. But, wouldn't that happen sooner or later? Let's go ahead with it and I don't suffer any more heartache.”“Who is accusing you?” Tiago wants to know, feeling outraged.Cristina intermediates the conversation, “Ehr... that doesn't matter anymore. Let's avoid confusion, ours is enough. What are we going to do about Pamela?”“My subordinates are already looking for her,” Tiago responds dryly.Cristina and Carmen get goosebumps. Again, Tiago using his contacts as if he were a mobster or CIA spy?“Honey, when are you going to tell me who your agents are and how you got them?” Carmen risks by asking.“Never.” Tiago frowns, “I don't want you and our son to be murdered.”The answer,
At the marketing agency's studios, Jack meets with Veronica. She is blonde, natural body, has straight hair as required by the 90s, and wears clothes like the girls in “Beverly Hills 90210”.“It's good to be alive for another day's work.” Veronica greets him.“I've never seen anyone so excited to shoot a commercial.” Jack jokes.Veronica wiggles amusedly, “Do you really think you can slip through the cracks, Jack Motta?”Jack doesn't respond.Veronica pats his shoulder, “I have your book. And I followed the TV soap opera.”“Oh, I have a fan. Too bad the show didn't have a second season.” Jack responds good-naturedly.“Well, I preferred it that way. Your book didn't have room for more episodes. If they continued, they would ruin everything.”“The show of Isabel’s book has been renewed.”“Because her show got more ratings, but you should realize they aren't using the book as a reference anymore,” Veronica claims to be knowledgeable on the subject.Jack is delighted to see that Veronica
Jack and Octavio are having lunch together at Crystal Blue.“So, bro, how was the photo shoot?” Octavio asks as he cuts the filet mignon.“It was wonderful. They called all the actors in the commercial for us to represent a family happy to buy an apartment built by Rocha Constructions.” Jack takes a sip of wine.Octavio smiles mischievously, “Did they call your actress friend?”Jack blushes a little, “Her name is Veronica.”“Veronica who?” Octavio is already thinking about marriage.“Just Veronica, for now, you little hurried one.” Jack laughs.“You know that marrying her will be the only option to soothe our father's heart, you know?” Octavio speaks as if this were paramount.“I know. Poor Daddy...” Jack sighs.Suddenly the same Veronica appears at the restaurant. She doesn't see the Motta brothers, but they do.Veronica greets Kelvin effusively at the maître d's stand.“Did you see the commercial, Kelvin?” She is blown away.“I did, Veronica! You knew how to convince us as a housewi
