Josias enters Rocha Constructions with an angry face after the argument with Angela. Octavio is embarrassed to greet him.“Good morning, Josias... how... how are you?”Josias notices he's scaring people away and tries to calm down, “Sorry, Octavio. I argued with Angela. No, it is not Everaldo’s prophecy being fulfilled in Uélton’s interpretation.”Octavio tries not to bring it up, “I know, it's the classic argument between couples. When I'm married, maybe I'll understand you.”Josias smiles slightly, “And when will your turn come, buddy? Sometimes I worry, I imagine your father.”Octavio responds good-naturedly, “My father is reassured that the offspring is guaranteed thanks to Jack.”“He's really going to marry that Veronica, huh?” Josias is unsure.“They are getting to know each other better.” Octavio blinks.Cristina and Moacyr pass by them."Oh, Josias, glad you're here." Moacyr greets him, “Today we will have a farewell party for Igor and we want your presence.”“Count me in,” Jo
Isabel enters Melissa's office because it was the closest place to make a call.“Hi, Izzy, what happened?” Melissa is surprised by the urgency stamped on her friend's face.“Melissa, can I use your phone? My husband called and it sounds like it was urgent.”“Yes, be my guest!” Melissa holds out her desk phone.Isabel dials the phone with trembling fingers, “Hello, Harold! Don't scare me, what happened?"“I am in perfect health, dear, it is not now that you will become a widow.” Harold jokes, “I got a call from the Cariacica penitentiary.”Isabel widens her eyes, “Concerning our son Wally?”“Honey, I don't think it's in good taste to repeat the nickname created by the culprit for everything that was disgraceful in our son's life.” Harold gets serious.“Darling, tell me what the penitentiary said...” Isabel feels a lump in her throat.Harold senses that his wife is sad and says cautiously, “Well, you remember that our son was sentenced to ten years in prison. Well, next year will be ten
At Rocha Constructions, everyone is saying goodbye to Igor.“Guys, come to the little party tonight. It’s at Tiago’s house.” He informs them.“We'll be there.” Octavio replies, “Can I take my dad and Jack?”“The more people, the better,” Igor responds jokingly.Vânia informs them, “Ben is also going to Victoria to study gastronomy. He will live with João Paulo.”Igor nods, “May everyone’s dreams come true.”Mr. Paterson looks at Angela's empty desk, “Where is Mr. Rocha’s fiancée?”“She's in hell!” Vanya growls.Tiago frowns, “Mrs. Teixeira, the person we are talking about will be your niece.”“I already have a niece, Melissa Campos. I don't need another one.” Vânia looks around, “And where's Shirley with the butter cookies?”At this moment, Harold and Isabel enter the company together and find the celebration in the lobby.“Hello, everyone! What is this celebration due to?” Isabel greets them.Igor approaches the Freire couple, smiling, “We are pre-celebrating my farewell, Mrs. Freire
Shirley leaves Josias's room just as Harold and Isabel want to go in to talk to him.“Oh Shirley, people are looking for you to try that wonderful cookie you make,” Harold informs her.“They must be talking about Igor's farewell.” Shirley smiles slightly, “A good guy...”Shirley leaves and closes the door. Josias is interested in the visitors.“Mr. and Mrs. Freire.” He happily greets them, “How can I help you?”Harold excitedly announces, “Josias, the Cariacica penitentiary has contacted us. They want to release Wallace for good behavior. His sentence would end next year.”Josias had completely forgotten that Wallace was going to be free next year. He widens his eyes and a surprised print on his face, “Oh, God... I don't know what to say!”Isabel is beaming, “Well, say you're happy for us!”“I'm happy.” Josias scratches the back of his head, “All I care about is the rest of the family and Lagoon City.”Isabel wiggles, “Don’t bother. The two women who destroyed my son's life are in Vic
At night, Igor Bento's farewell party is about to begin.Tiago walks around the room decorated with a poster on the wall that says “Goodbye, Igor!”. The sofas were pushed into the corner and the kitchen table was moved to the middle of the living room. In it, a cake and various goodies are spread out for guests to serve themselves.The owner of the house turns on the radio and the song “This Ain’t a Love Song” by Bon Jovi brings the atmosphere to life.Carmen approaches with another platter of pecan cookies, “Not Shirley's cookies, but I think people will like it anyway.”Tiago smiles and hugs his wife from behind, “Thanks for the dedication.”“All for my brother-in-law's well-being.” Carmen sets the tray on the table, “He's going in search of happiness.”Tiago sighs, “He's going to reconnect with Stacy and maybe get married... while Marcelo remains behind bars.”“Sometimes I forget about your little brother.” Carmen breaks her smile, “Darling, isn't there any danger of Marcelo gettin
Uélton is disconcerted when Reuben inadvertently repeats the forbidden nickname. He crouches down and looks his son in the eye, “Reuben, when Uncle Wallace shows up, don't repeat the cursed nickname.”“Why?” Reuben asks innocently.“Because Uncle Wallace won't like it.” Uélton taps his head.“OK, I thought he liked it.” Reuben smiles at him.Uélton gets up. Flavia realizes that he still has more to say.“Reuben, wait for us outside.” She commands the child. After Reuben leaves, she adds, “It's not just because of the nickname that you're like this.”“Of course not, honey.” Uélton closes the living room window, “I worry how Wallace’s return will affect our son’s life.”Flavia smiles, “It won't affect negatively. Wallace has certainly learned from his mistakes, and the two wretched women are living in the capital.”Not knowing what is happening in the Chaves family, Uélton comments with an ironic smile, “Have you ever thought if Pamela returns with the lame excuse of wanting to see Rose
At Tiago's house, the party continues with the Freire family arriving. Igor receives Uélton, Flávia and Reuben.“Whoa, we have cake!” Reuben exclaims.“Son!” Flavia is embarrassed.Igor laughs, “Children's things, Flávia. I was agitated like that too. Come on, Reuben, there's chicken pie.”Flavia decides to accompany Reuben before he knocks over the table or something.Uélton shakes Igor's hand, “We're leaving too, buddy. We'll move to Green Park and be close to the old folks. My father can't wait to be close to his grandson.”“What about Wallace?” Igor asks respectfully.Uélton undoes some of the enthusiasm, “We still haven't talked deeply about my rehabilitated brother. For now, he will certainly live with my parents.”“You don't look very pleased to me.” Igor watches with the precision of a shrink.“I just want to know where this is all going.” Uélton forges a smile.The living room radio is playing “Can I Touch You... There?” by Michael Bolton. Josias is now talking to Vernon.“Da
Cristina, Moacyr, Diane, Adolfo, Vânia, and Benjamin are the next ones to enter Igor's farewell party. The Teixeira family felt that this could be their farewell party too.The radio was now playing “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan and the children were dancing in a corner of the room.Elza and Vernon were sitting on the sofa and enjoying their grandchildren's improvised steps.“They're cute, aren't they?” Vernon asks with a piece of the pie in his hand.“Yes, they will be the future of the nation.” Elza comments, “Ah, the Teixeira family has arrived.”“Honey, I want to take advantage of the fact that you mentioned Melissa's uncles to talk about Josias.” Vernon finishes eating the piece of pie so he doesn't get distracted.Elza turns and faces her husband, “Yes?”“He's mentally debating whether or not to marry Angela.” Vernon announces to her, “I told him categorically to discard that home wrecker.”Elza smiles slightly, “I agree too, but Josias always thinks of David.”“If th
