Beto decides to take Wallace to the restrooms for a private conversation. The office door was closed, indicating that Josias and Tiago were still inside.As he walked down the hall, Wallace saw the door to the old apartment where he and Pamela lived. Chills ran through his body.“How different the building is.” Wallace tries to calm down, “I remember there was a huge crack here.”Beto smiles, “Josias bought the building, tore it down completely, and had another built from scratch. Even though we have the bathroom here, now every apartment and kitchenette has yours.”“Look, so if I ever want to come here, I won't be afraid of any girl going into the wrong bathroom.”Beto breaks his smile, “Wallace, don't move here. I called you to let you know that my damn sister knows you got out of jail and back to town.”Wallace turns pale and feels his heart beat faster.“I know, I was really upset too.” Beto continues, “She showed up here looking like a nun, disguised so she wouldn't be recognized
Josias is quite concerned about Pamela's attempt to win Rosemary's heart just to get revenge on Beto. He meditates on this as he eats his slice of cake. The radio is now playing “Fast Love” by George Michael.Melissa approaches him, “Josias, why aren't you having fun?”Josias wakes up from his reverie, “Melissa, you better join your family. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.”Melissa doesn't take offense, “You're not rude, Josias. I just want to help you as a friend.”But Daryl comes out of nowhere and grabs Melissa's shoulders, “Sister-in-law, Kelvin is looking for you. Your mother wants to take a picture with the Barbosa couple.”Melissa is slightly embarrassed, “OK, let's go.”Josias has a slight suspicion that Daryl snatched Melissa on purpose. What is he afraid of?He observes Cristina and Moacyr taking pictures to remember their friends. Melissa, Kelvin, Alan, Caroline, Simeon, and Dora smile, and Daryl snaps the picture.Katherine approaches her boyfriend, “What's up, honey? Are y
Bernardo appears running at the police station, parking in a forbidden place, and running like a madman to Amoreira's office. Cops try to stop him.“Hey sir, can we help you with something?”“Get outta my way, it's an emergency!” Bernardo exclaims wildly.Upon arriving at the office, panting and sweating......Amoreira is calmly reading Maggiezine!Bernardo snatches the detective's magazine and throws it away, “Detective! What stupidity is that? Did you pull me out of my leisure to find you all slack and good-natured?”Amoreira is not shaken by the businessman's outburst and gets up, “Take it easy, Mr. Marçal. You must be alive and in good health to bear what I say.”Bernardo's body reacts in reverse: tachycardia and cold sweat are part of him, “Say it soon! In other words, you don't even have to tell me. You found out that Shirley spoke the truth.”Amoreira raises his eyebrows as if in front of a fool, “What did you say? No, sir, it’s the other way around!”Bernardo gapes, “Can you r
On Thursday, Josias is in front of Angela and the lawyer Lourenço Ribeiro. Lourenço is representing Josias to confirm and legalize the joint custody of David between him and his biological mother.“Angela, didn’t you bring your lawyer?” Josias asks worriedly.Angela just smiles, “No, I didn't. I trust that you will make the best proposals for the benefit of our son.”Lourenço shrugs, “Well, if you both agree... we can start whenever you want, Mr. Rocha."Josias leans back in his chair and responds in a sovereign tone, “I am willing to continue to recognize David Sousa Rocha as my legitimate son and to pay child support until he reaches the age of majority. I allow my son David to live with his mother. If my ex-fiancée gets involved with another man, I must be notified. If there is any friction between my son and another man, David will return to me and live with me. I don't want this ‘stepfather mistreating stepson’ thing to happen to my son.”Angela smiles lightly, “I assure you, Jos
Beto and Teresa decide to cautiously tell Rosemary what is happening.“Rosemary, we are very angry about what your mother did.” Beto patiently explains, “Therefore, we want you to be spared our grief.”“Why can't Mom talk to me? Does she hate me too?” Rosemary asks not understanding.“No, I don't think she hates you.” Not even Beto could answer that. Why is Pamela so eager to talk to Rosemary? Maternal love or desire to annoy Beto?“It’s because we don't want you to get hurt.” Teresa helps her boyfriend, “For example, in the letter, she talks about wanting you to live with her without Pedro. Do you want to separate from your little brother?”“No, I don’t want.” Rosemary wiggles, “Mom could come back if she wants to be with me.”“Exactly, daughter.” Beto smiles, “Your grandmother is in Victoria to talk to her and make her understand.”“OK.”“And the next time you get a letter, give it to us,” Teresa remembers this detail.Rosemary nods, and calmer, she continues to eat breakfast.*****
Teresa says goodbye to Beto and takes the children to school. Their father waves goodbye and sends his girlfriend a kiss with his hand.Alone, Beto looks at his father's portrait and smiles at him, “You sure would approve of Tess, Dad. I remember how I pissed you off for marrying Pamela, even though this crazy wedding was part of the plan. I blame Vera for your death, but I feel like I had a 40% share.”After this mea culpa, Beto goes to the radio and turns it on. Metallica's song “Until it Sleeps” fills the lobby as tradition dictates.Some tenants show up to pay the monthly rent and Beto takes care of that. As this occurs, Diane arrives from behind with suitcases and is startled by the sight of the owner of the building.After serving the tenants, Beto visualizes Diane and smiles, “We need to talk, my dear.”“You can undo that perverted smile.” Diane warns him menacingly, “You always wanted to bed me. Good thing that nanny snared you.”Beto continues with a charming smile, “Are you
But not everything is happiness. While everyone rejoices that Bernardo is on the mend, the patient is unsure if he will actually survive with Shirley standing before him!Shirley has no sense of the ridiculous and behaves as if nothing that happened was her fault, “Bernie, I'm glad to see you well. I didn't want these things to happen.”“What are you doing here?” Bernardo tries to say, “Out!”“Bernie, don't get carried away.” Shirley does the opposite, moving closer to him, “Look at the monitor registering an increase in heart rate. Try to relax, you need to get out of this.”But Bernardo is tossing and struggling on the bed, horrified at the approach of his cursed mother-in-law.“No, no... out... hel—”Shirley covers Bernardo's mouth before he yells for help, “Schi! Don't worry, Bernie. You'll get out of this and get on with your life, without Maggie, and Henrique. You're going to have a new wife... Me! Finally, you will marry someone your age. And after the wedding, you're going to
Everyone who went to visit Bernardo had their hearts aching with Dr. Farias warning that he didn't need heart surgery. Is it because... he didn't have time?But Dr. Farias responds in a tender voice, “We don't need surgery because the patient has stabilized.”Maggie kneels crying before Dr. Farias in gratitude. The others cheer and applaud. Only Shirley remains on her, thoughtful.Daryl then enters the lounge, “From the vibe and celebration, the news was good.”Maggie gets up and hugs her brother, “Daryl, he's not going to die! My mother couldn't kill him.”Shirley widens her eyes, “What did you say?”Dr. Farias adds what Maggie meant, “Listen, ma'am, when I walked into the room, the patient was about to have an aneurysm. When Mr. and Mrs. Mountain were with the patient, he was normal and calm. You must have done something to irritate him.”“We'll find out when he leaves the room,” Kelvin responds menacingly.Shirley swallows hard and decides to say no more. After all, what she says c
