last update2022-10-26 10:11:33

In the Mountain Penthouse, Melissa was supposed to sweep the living room floor, but she's standing with the broom in hand as the radio plays Enrique Iglesias's song “Experiência Religiosa”.

Kelvin enters his residence with letters and a yellow package in his hand. He's smiling, “Whew, good thing you're a Maggiezine subscriber! The biggest confusion is happening in the streets, with girls fighting aggressively for a copy.”

Melissa wakes up from her trance, but this hasn't gone unnoticed by Kelvin. She takes the yellow package and opens it. It's Maggiezine's issue with Jack Motta looking very sexy with a penetrating gaze.

“Therein lies the reason.” Kelvin repeats the piercing gaze, “What were you thinking about, my love?”

“Last week, Alan asked me if I still loved Josias.” Melissa decided not to hide anything from her husband.

Kelvin frowns, “Why did your son ask that kind of question?”

“Because he wants me to always be on good terms with Josias.” Melissa sits down and drops the broom,

    Kelvin is talking to Daryl on his way from Café Mendonça to Crystal Blue. They cross the Main Square while talking.“And when Alan asked if Melissa still loved Josias, it was to see if we were going to walk away from the city as Angela and David did.” Kelvin chuckles.But Daryl doesn't laugh along with him, “Bro, this is really weird. Why did your stepson ask such a silly question?”Kelvin stops laughing and sees how pissed off his older brother is, “Daryl, stop, I won't let—”“Won't you let me show you the truth you insist on denying?” Daryl sternly interrupts him, “You need to earn the love and respect of Josias Rocha's children.”“I am trying.” Kelvin justifies himself, “But it's not like I'm in some competition.”“Believe me, little brother, it's a competition. Unfortunately, the game is not easy, but you already knew that when you decided to date a woman who already had two children, correct?”Kelvin refuses to be radical, “Daryl, you're overreacting. It's easy for you to say bec

    At Café Montanha, Jack has just signed the cover of Maggiezine for a passionate fan.“Good reading!” He smiles kindly.After the fan walks away, Veronica jokes, “Do you think she'll be able to read anything? She will frame the cover on her bedroom wall and spend hours drooling and worshiping you.”“And will you be jealous?” Jack asks jokingly.“No, because the day will come when Playboy will extend the invitation to me.” Veronica jokes.Jack laughs, “Don't tell that around my dad.”Veronica stops laughing, “Honey, is it just me, or didn’t your father like me?”Jack is surprised by the sudden question, “What's this, honey? No, my father loves you as a future daughter-in-law.”“But he doesn't love me as part of the family,” Veronica concludes sourly.Jack takes her right hand, “Don't talk like that, honey. My dad is still getting used to me being famous.”“Yes, you said he forbade you to achieve fame for fear you'd get AIDS.” Veronica snorts, “Now he understands that it's not that easy,

    Tuesday. Beto is meeting with William in his office, at the Ramos supermarket.“William, I brought you here to discuss what I intend to do from now on. I told Mr. Ramos that I will leave to take care of my father's building.”“A pity, Beto.” William laments, “We like you here.”“Yes, but that's how business is.” Beto puts his hand on his friend's shoulder, “Can I nominate you to be the next manager here?”William is stunned by the indication, "Beto... Do you think I'm ready?"“Of course, you always did a good job at the warehouse.” Beto nods, “All you have to do is pay attention to the other sections of the supermarket and learn how they work. I learned and managed to overcome myself, and so can you.”“I'm looking for a pay raise.” William laughs, “You can refer me to Mr. Ramos, Beto. Thank you so much for remembering me.”“I do it for our friendship, comrade.” Beto and William hug each other.*****Isabel visits Teodoro's building with narrowed eyes and strangely holding her purse.

    William returns to work where Beto was waiting for him in the office. Beto is still worried about his sister getting into trouble and the Freire family's desire to kill her.“Hello, Beto! Did something happen?"“Not yet, but it will happen if Vera continues to meddle in the life of the Freire family.” Beto leans back in his chair, “I stopped by my father's building just to find Mrs. Freire with her husband's revolver hidden in her purse.”William is surprised, “If it was hidden, how did you know?”“It's just that she told me naturally as if it were the most normal thing in the world to kill disaffected people.” Beto rubs his hands over his face to ward off anxiety.“So, how did our boss react to my nomination?” William wanted to change the subject, “My parents already want to barbecue in celebration.”“Ask your father to save the filet steak for now.”Beto's serious tone set William on alert, “I... didn't get the promotion, did I?”Beto looks at William pityingly, “I'm sorry, Will, bu

    William returns to his parents' house after a grueling day at the warehouse. Now the radio is playing “I’m Not Giving You Up” by Gloria Estefan. Dora was sweeping the floor when she sees her slumped-shouldered son.“Sonny, what happened this time?”“False alarm, mother. I won’t be the supermarket manager.”Simeon comes from the kitchen with a ham sandwich in hand, “What did you say, son? How was that possible?”“As much as Beto had goodwill, the one who decides, in the end, is Mr. Ramos.” William collapses on the couch.“Oh son, we're sorry.” Dora sits next to him, “Well, at least you still have the job as a warehouse supervisor.”“No, mom, I don't know if I want to continue in this life.” William shakes his head, “I told you I want to leave a legacy for my son. The Ramos Supermarket warehouse is not mine, and there is no guarantee that Caio will be hired in my place.”Simeon stares at his son with interest, “What are you thinking about, Will?”William smiles slightly, “I'm thinking a

So any medal in any Olympic sport is always welcome and widely celebrated.Caroline and J.J didn't quite understand what was going on, but they celebrated anyway. Alan and Kelvin waved Brazilian flags from the penthouse balcony. Veronica brought more popcorn from the kitchen to fill her belly.“I brought more food, people!

Do you think I won't have children when I marry Jack?”“Are you going to marry Jack?” Melissa tries to deflect the subject.“We are still dating. Hey, why are you deflecting the subject?”Melissa takes one of the sandwiches and eats, “I don't know... I'm wondering how Josias and my kids are going to react.”“Josias will wish you well and that you don't die in childbirth, and Alan and Caroline will celebrate the arrival of another little brother or sister.” Veronica sums it all up with childlike ease.But Melissa doesn't think the solution will be so easy.

João Paulo is more treacherous than his late father,” Sofia grumbled.Suzy decided to counterattack, “This is all because of the ‘Spanish Stallion’? Get over it, dear.

I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered. Suzy smiled maliciously. “I see your little game.” “What do you think I’m doing?” Sofia crossed her arms. “You’re staging a publicity stunt or trying to win the hearts of the employees. Well, that’s not going to happen!” “You...” Sofia held back the urge to slap Suzy but decided to take the high road. She turned to the drivers and conductors and shrugged. “I tried.” Sofia made a strategic retreat, leaving Suzy alone in front of disappointed employees. “Hey, wait...!” Suzy felt she was about to be lynched and ran out of the garage. The employees booed and cursed her without mercy. ****** At João Paulo’s house, he was sitting in

    Reynaldo and Leonardo were talking in the former’s office, tension and anxiety taking over their voices and expressions. “So you mean the idiot knows everything?” Leonardo asked illogically. “If J.J. discovered our plan, then he’s not an idiot, man.” Reynaldo corrected him. “You understood what I meant!” Leonardo gestured. “And now? What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me. Avenging our father is more important than anyt

    At Vasconcelos Fabrics, the biggest and most controversial conversation J.J. had ever had in his life was taking place. If he saw himself acting all tough and wild with Reynaldo, he wouldn’t recognize himself. Footsteps echoed down the hallway toward the office. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, man!” Reynaldo mustered the courage, hoping someone would come to save him. “Okay, it’s understandable that you don’t want to produce evidence against yourself.” J.J. smiled ironically. The office door opened, and Leonardo appeared. “Is something going on here?” “Hello, big brother!” J.J. continued in an ironic tone. “The coincidence of you showing up here is almost timed!” “Have you been drinking?” Leonardo frowned, and then looked at a terrified Reynaldo. “J.J. isn’t feeling well; it’s best to leave him alone.” Reynaldo’s expression told Leonardo what was really happening. “Alright, I need to talk to you about some matters. Have a good day, J.J.” Leonardo, in an attorney’s po

    At Vaztrans, William questioned Sofia about the company’s finances, which are now in order since her parents stopped interfering.“Uh, I think the explanation is simple. With my father no longer here, we don’t have that urge to prove we’re always the best public transportation company in the city.” Sofia sat face to face with him. “I remember my father would always freak out when people mocked the old bus models we had.”“Yeah, and he would waste money buying expensive buses that we couldn’t afford to maintain.” William accepted this explanation for now. “So, Sofia, you wouldn’t be offended if I said your father was just playing at being a manager?”Sofia made a face. “My father managed Vaztrans since its inception. I’m here to continue his legacy.”“I know you’ll do a good job.” William leaned back in his chair. “I just want us to keep things this way now that we’re in control.”Sofia crossed her arms. “Great.

    Vaztrans, morning. Brand new buses come in and out of the garage, with drivers and fare collectors smiling in their new uniforms. In William’s office (which used to belong to Olivia), he scratched his forehead while researching and checking the financial spreadsheets. Sofia, greeted like a diva by the staff, entered the office. “Good morning to you too! Have a good day at work!” She approached the desk. “Good morning, Will! What’s with that long face?” “I’m not making a long face. I’m making a face of someone who doesn’t understand this accounting,” William replied, still looking at the monitor. “What’s the problem? Are we broke again?” Sofia’s eyes widened. “No.” William finally looked at her, with a mischievous smile. “We have so much slack that we could pay off one of the installments of the loan we took from Josias if we wanted to.” Sofia continued with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s incredible, right?” William kept smiling. “Sofia, you’re not getting my astonishment.

    At Rocha Constructions, Josias and Alan faced a dilemma: should they start a war against the Borges brothers? Thierry noticed their initial hesitation. “If it’s too much for you two, forget it. J.J. and I will manage on our own. Maybe Daryl can help us.” The mention of Daryl made Josias react, “Wait a minute, Thierry. We never said we wouldn’t help you. On the contrary, I feel the same way: that truck was deliberately sent against the supermarket to cause that accident.” “Yeah, a way to force J.J. to choose between focusing on the farm or on Vasconcelos. No one but the Borges brothers was interested in that.” Thierry smiled slightly. “The problem is we have no proof.” Josias put his hands in his pockets. “The truck was on the street, there are no surveillance cameras nearby.” Alan asked, “But J.J. decided to stay with Vasconcelos, right?” “Exactly. That was our way of getting back at them.” Josias nodded. “So, our only form of investigation will be to observe how Reynaldo Borges

David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges
