Diane visits Daryl at Crystal Blue. She finds her boyfriend extremely stressed after debating with Bernardo in vain.“Honey, I have some interesting news, but now I'm afraid to share it.” She is afraid to even approach him.Daryl goes to the bar. Diane catches up with him as he pours himself a shot of brandy.“Sometimes I think that we are the ones who drink the most around here.” Daryl makes fun of himself and drinks the dose in one gulp.“Do you want me to tell you the good news?” Diane takes a risk.“Yes, go ahead, my love.”“Uncle Moacyr wants to move out of Teodoro’s building.” Diane smiles, “Aunt Cristina wants to step down as manager to take care of my uncle who is recovering from their car accident. They also want me to be free to marry you and help out at the restaurant.”Daryl smiles too, “That would be very interesting.”“So how about we set the wedding date?” Diane enthuses, “We can arrange the engagement once Maggie and Bernardo forgive each other.”Daryl is apprehensive
The next day, Uélton and Wallace are entering the Sunset Village construction site together. They come across a totally different Jock Russo: new-smelling denim pants and jacket, branded white T-shirt, All-Stars sneakers, and a smile modified by great dentists.“Wow, Jock!” Uélton, as always, is the first to break the silence, “How handsome you are! Model work paid off, huh?”“Hello, Uélton. Who is this dude?” He points to Wallace, “You two look alike.”Wallace notices that there is a slight embarrassment on Uélton's part and introduces himself, “I am Wallace Freire, the older brother who was dead but has come back to life.”“Don't need so much drama, bro.” Uélton opines between clenched teeth.Jock senses the animosity, “Ehr... I hope I'm not getting into something I shouldn't.”“There is no danger, sir.” Wallace says with a smile, “You didn't know me because I was in prison.”“OK, I need to check on my team.” Uélton abruptly goes inside the house under construction.Jock gets more e
Jock is among his former construction colleagues, all celebrating the success of the current advertising model.“Dude, if my wife calls you, tell her you're already married!” One of the workers jokes and everyone laughs.“Guess I'll have to unsubscribe from Maggiezine.” Uélton jokes.“Guys, thanks for everything. I’ll miss you all.” Jock speaks emotionally.Simeon pats him on the shoulder, “We'll miss you too, but it's good that one of us leaves this environment for better things.”Everyone applauds Simeon's speech.After the silence, everyone makes room to see Josias approaching with the white helmet. Wallace notices how Josias imposes fear and respect without even uttering a comma.“Indeed, the guy has become powerful.” Wallace asserts through clenched teeth in awe.Josias realizes that Jock is the reason for the celebration, “Hello everyone. Don't worry, I won't have your salary cut. Jock, did you come to say goodbye?”“Exactly, Mr. Rocha. Thank you very much for the opportunity, b
Wallace is mixing mortar for the masons to plaster the walls of one of the rooms. Unlike Uélton, Wallace masterfully operates the hoe.Uélton arrives from behind and has the feeling of being passed over. He looks to the side and finds the battery-powered radio playing “If It Makes You Happy” by Sheryl Crow.“Hey, what's my little radio doing here?” He uses this as a lame excuse to keep bothering his older brother.Wallace continues unabated, “It was already there. I turned it on.”“And who permitted you? The radio is mine!” Uélton complains as if he were a tantrum child.Wallace just smiles and straightens up, facing his younger brother.“What's your problem?”“The problem is that you are masterfully operating the hoe when Josias had to teach me from scratch,” Uélton reveals what's inside him.“I wasn't born knowing that.” Wallace assures him, “I was taught yesterday.”“But how do you manage? You are still rickety after spending nine years in the penitentiary.” Uélton doesn't give up
Jock is at Rocha Constructions finishing his resignation with HR. After that, he goes to Alfred's office to say goodbye.“Mr. Paterson, you deserve to know as Head of Engineering that I will no longer be on any construction teams,” Jock announces.“Are you sure about that, Jock?” Alfred asks calmly.“Yeah. I am filling the vacancy of someone who needs to work as a bricklayer. I decided to stay as a model.”“I saw your double-page picture in this week's issue of Maggiezine.” Alfred winks.Jock blushes slightly. They convinced the newbie to dare in that photo which did not go unnoticed even among men.After hugs and goodbyes, Jock is leaving and finds Katherine working at the desk. She was attending someone.“I will forward your call to the responsible department.” Katherine sees Jock and is temporarily petrified, forgetting to forward the call.“Hello, Kate.” Jock smiles at her, friendly.Katherine wakes up from the memory of the centerfold and transfers the call. Then, she straightens
Wednesday. Francisco goes to the police station to talk to Amoreira. The hilarious detective is once again delighting in Maggiezine and gets scared with Jack's centerfold.“Wow, what is this? Mrs. Marçal is getting bolder, huh? Did Bernardo Marçal allow this double page?” He giggles.Francisco enters his office like a hurricane.“Here you are! By what right do you have to detain my girlfriend?” He roars.Amoreira looks the complainant up and down, “Huh? What are you talking about, sir...?”“Francisco Mountain!” He barks, “I demand that you immediately release Shirley Mountain, my girlfriend!”“She has your last name.” Amoreira jokes, “Isn't she your wife?”Francisco turns red with rage, “She will be, for now, she is my sister-in-law.”Amoreira is bristling with this gossip while Shirley remains in detention.******On the Mountain penthouse, Maggie is more refreshed in the dining room. Kelvin and Melissa notice this while having breakfast.“Little sister, I perceive that your spirit i
Amoreira leads Francisco to the cell where Shirley was awaiting trial. She is disheveled, her blouse torn, and the policemen's fingerprints are still visible on her arms.“SHIRLEY!” Francisco is horrified, “What have they done to you? Did the guards rape you?”“No.” Shirley responds in a voice that sounds like a whisper, “I made a big fuss out of the lobby and the guards dragged me away by force.”Amoreira communicates to her boyfriend, “According to the sheriff who registered the arrest, Mrs. Mountain had the aggravating factor of resisting arrest. For that alone, she could face two months to two years in prison, depending on the severity and the judge's good mood.”The 'judge's good mood' part was added in slapstick by the fun detective.But Francisco gets more desperate, “Shirley, did you resist arrest? As far as I know, the mere nervousness of being arrested does not constitute a crime, unless the detainee resorts to violence. You...”Shirley turns her face to the left and refuses
Francisco and Shirley are now alone. Passing jailers found romantic the sight of Francisco holding his beloved's hands through the bars.But Shirley didn't feel any romantic emotion, just hate and rancor, “I'm going to kill her, Frank. I swear to God that one day I’ll kill her!”“How can you speak God in a promise of murder?” Francisco admonishes her, “Shirley, you need to calm down.”“Calm me down?” Shirley laughs like a witch, “Okay, I'll calm down while I wait to be tried and sentenced to two years in jail!”“You shouldn't have threatened to assault a cop.” Francisco reminds her of this.“I was desperate! Frank, Mr. Bento told me to make it up to Maggie and she didn't even let me in, she told the building's concierge to call the police like I was an intruder! How do you want me to be calm?”Francisco tries to be controlled and rational. He takes a deep breath, “Shirley, this all started when you told the truth. We had sworn we would never tell Bernardo. My brother passed away not k
