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

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.

    At Crystal Blue, Daryl was in his office listening to Kelvin's account of his mother.Daryl narrow-eyed opines, “I thought our mom was already spending romantic nights with Uncle Francisco.”Kelvin gets goosebumps in disgust, “Rodrigo and Veronica didn't say any of that. I passed by the coffee shop and found that Veronica reacted negatively, but Jack Motta calmed her down.”Daryl raises an eyebrow, “Did the two of them see each other again?”“Rodrigo said this time it’s for real,” Kelvin adds a smile.Daryl stands up, “Anyway, we need to see our mother. Despite Maggie suggesting I move, what she did was pretty extreme.”Diane enters the office just now, “Good morning, honey! Hello, Kelvin.”“Good morning, Diane.” Kelvin greets her, “You seem to have come in a hurry.”“I came by taxi.” Diane hugs her boyfriend, “Dear, it's confirmed: Roberto Reis will take over his father's building.”“Good for him,” Daryl responds neutrally.“And from what I've seen, he's going to have the help of his

    Days later, Josias is informed at the mansion that Moacyr and Cristina intend to move to Victoria. The Barbosa couple visited him.“Guys...” Josias is surprised, “Why do you wanna go so far?”“So far?” Moacyr chuckles, “The capital is not a three-hour drive.”“Even so, I will miss you so much.” Josias hugs Moacyr, crouching down to him, “For what reason are you going?”Katherine and J.J are with them in the foyer.Cristina replies, “We want to be close to Pam to prevent her from returning here to annoy the Freire family. And we have found one medical clinic that can help Moacyr’s recovery.”Josias stands up straight again, “Well, to me, the second reason is the most plausible. Pamela can pack her bags and escape at dawn without anyone seeing her.”“It won't be that easy.” Cristina replies, “Raymond said she's living with him and Junior.”“So her father must be instilling common sense in that hollow head,” Josias comments jokingly, making everyone laugh.“Since I haven't met your daugh

How can I help you...?”“Bernardo Marçal.”“Oh God, you own my favorite publication!” Amoreira shakes the magazine, “Can you give me an autograph?”Bernardo is not one to autograph, but he smiles and gives an impromptu autograph on the cover of the magazine, “Satisfied?”“And a lot, this magazine will be worth thousands of reais. Twenty years later, I will put it up for auction.”Bernardo has even forgotten that he was looking to divorce Maggie.“And then, Mr. Marçal?”“I want you to do a secret investigation.” Bernardo leans forward.“Mr. Marçal, if the matter is urgent, I suggest you look for a private investigator.

Katherine got five houses and two apartments for you to choose from with Gomes Real Estate Agency.”Cristina and Moacyr burst out laughing while Carmen is startled.“Son, you didn't need so much exaggeration.” Moacyr thanks him.“I just want to help.” Josias apologizes as a child caught in mischief.“That's why Tiago is your fan,” Carmen comments with a smile.Cristina takes Carmen's notebook, “We're thinking about appointments to replace us.

    Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

    Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

    Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

    At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
