At Rocha Hotel, Ernesto appears in the manager's office and Josias hands him the baby carriage. J.J is sleeping peacefully.“Ernesto, take my son to the Rocha mansion.”“Again, sir?” Ernesto asks without being disrespectful, “Where is this creature's mother?”“I wonder where she must be.” Josias grinds his teeth in disgust.Elza looks at her sleeping grandson, “Son, if you need a phone, you can use mine.”“Thank you, mother.” Josias picks up the hook and dials a number.Vernon takes the opportunity to cleverly slip away, “Honey, I need to go to work. Who knows, maybe we’ll have something on the midday news?”Elza slyly winks at her mischievous husband, “Tell them to do their best, eh?”Vernon gives his wife a light kiss on the cheek and runs away.Meanwhile, Josias is asking, “Hello, Simeon. This is Josias. Can you tell me if Jock Russo showed up there?”On the other side, in the storeroom of another construction site, Simeon wiggles, “No, he didn't show up today. Did something go wro
Angela is acting as secretary replacing Carmen. She works with excellence and the others have nothing to complain about.Octavio enters the company and she hands him a sheaf of letters, “Mr. Motta, mail for you.”Octavio smiles gratefully, “Thanks, Angela. How is work, are you enjoying it?”“Yes, it is very engaging and the company is wonderful.” Angela shows kindness.Shirley enters the company with a huge bag full of fresh cookies. The good smell catches everyone within a two-kilometer radius.“Good morning, Shirley.” Angela greets her, "Please don't leave me behind when you serve your famous cookies.”“And who said I leave you behind?” Shirley's voice sounds like a wall brawl.Angela is startled, “Prove me wrong by serving me today, duh!”“Just what I needed...” Shirley hurries into the kitchen.Octavio and Angela look at each other without understanding.******At Frederick's apartment, he opens the door with his key. Inside, the radio is playing “Animal” by Pearl Jam.A very exha
In the corridors of LCN, Isabel alertly explains to Flávia her situation at the TV station.“Daniel Oliveira wants at all costs that someone from our environment plays a soap opera heartthrob. Jack Motta didn't want it, now he wants Kelvin Mountain.”“Doesn't he want Uélton?” Flavia jokes, “If you make my husband's ears smaller with technological tricks, the ladies of Lagoon City will love him, and everyone will know why I married him.”Isabel is embarrassed, “Flávia, we know very well why you married my naughty son.”Flavia, however, continues to smile, “Do you still think I've held a grudge since 1986? Izzy, marrying your son was the best thing that ever happened to me. Uélton saved me from a greater embarrassment.”“You were very angry at the time.”“It is because I was deluded by an impossible and forbidden love.”Before Flávia reveals to Isabel that she wanted to be pregnant with William, not with Uélton, Vernon approaches with bared teeth.“Hello, ladies! Get ready for the midda
The next day, a fresh edition of Maggiezine came out with a photo of Angela very powerful and imposing, still with a kind smile, and the headline in bold letters: “It's definitive, meet the next Mrs. Rocha.”At the Rocha mansion, in Angela’s private office, she smiles in wonder when she receives the copy from Lilian's hands, “See, Lilian, it's me! Josias authorized them to announce our engagement!”“Congratulations, ma'am. You have shown yourself more worthy than the other.” Lilian comments.“I appreciate your support and that of your husband.” Lilian opens the magazine to the indicated page.The doorbell rings and Lilian goes to answer it. Angela is delighted with the magazine.“The young Angela Sousa, a former resident of the Capital, came to Lagoon City looking for help to support her and Josias Rocha's son, David. When everyone thought Josias Rocha was dead, his wife at the time, Melissa Campos, generously decided to help. Now with Josias Rocha back and with the divorce between hi
Bernardo is extremely shocked by Shirley's declaration of love. So, Maggie's suspicions weren't just suspicions, it was the truth.He wiggles frantically as if in a nightmare, “No, it can't be! You don't know what love is when you only think the worst of your daughter!”“Why do you insist on putting the whore in the middle?” Shirley tries to approach him, “Can't you see we need to do just the opposite? We need to eliminate Maggie from our midst for our love to finally prevail!”“What 'our' love? There is no 'our', there is no 'us', you freak from hell!” Bernardo shakes his clenched fist. He really wants to punch Shirley.“Always existed. You who are dumb and blind and never noticed. I loved you first, your daughter found out I loved you and stole you from me. I never had a chance, Bernie!”“Stop calling me 'Bernie'!” Bernardo takes a deep breath, “After that, you will never see your grandson again! We will take all legal steps to make that happen!”“What? Don't punish my grandson for
Katherine is still recovering from yesterday's double journey. Didn't Jock say he was tired, that she got him crashed? Where did such energy come from for him to continue?“At this point, I am either pregnant again or with AIDS. I haven't seen Jock put on that protection the TV has been encouraging men to wear.”With a lot of effort, she manages to lean against the head of the bed. She hears the door open and close. Katherine smiles, thinking it's room service.However, it's Josias wheeling a moveable table, just like Shirley usually wheels. Katherine visualized a mysterious tray covered with a cloche.“My love, you came to bring me breakfast.”Josiah smiles mysteriously, “Here is something I prepared especially for you.”Katherine removes the cloche and is surprised to see that it is just a glass of water.“What? What stupidity is that? Your future wife needs a hearty breakfast!”“My future wife spent all her strength copulating nonstop with one of my workers, was that it?” Josias as
Katherine again uses the survival instinct to get rid of the announced death. If before she was exhausted and sore, that didn't stop her from running to the bathroom to throw up.Josias laughs evilly and goes after her, being careful not to step on the broken glass.When he enters the bathroom, Katherine is already throwing up like she has bulimia.“What do you think you're doing, Kate?”Katherine straightens up and turns to Josias with a terrified look, “What do you mean? You poisoned me with arsenic and you still ask what I'm doing? I don’t wanna die! How did you get this poison?”“In Agatha Christie's books, everybody gets that easily,” Josias responds jokingly.“I'm not in the mood for jokes, bastard!” Katherine roars like the lioness.“Control yourself, you crazy girl!” Josias breaks the mocking smile, “You weren't poisoned, it was just tap water!”Katherine no longer knows what to do. What is a lie and what is true?Josias continues as if he were her Chemistry teacher, “Do you t
A few more weeks have passed, enough for Carmen to deliver James to the world (and to Tiago).She was at home trying to sweep the living room. Her radio was playing “Everlasting Love” by Gloria Estefan.Tiago appears in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, ready to work from home. Carmen looks at him and feels like a burden.“Darling, I really think you should work in the comfort of your office.”Tiago sits at a table in the corner of the room, “Nothing like that. I want to be close to my wife who is almost nine months pregnant. Why would you risk having the baby alone when I can be around? And our master Josias allowed my absence.”“Josias has always been considerate of us.” Carmen smiles.“Yes, that's why I think your mother's idea that we're his and his family's enemies again is ridiculous.” Tiago watches after putting on his glasses.“Correction: Josias loves us, but his ex-family doesn't. Good thing I have nothing else to do with the Campos clan.”The doorbell rings and Carmen walks
