At the police station, Ivan is fatigued and exhausted. He is unable to gather overwhelming evidence to fulfill his greatest dream: to arrest Josias Rocha.

He is sure that Josias ordered the loan shark's murder... but how can he prove it? The idiot got away with erasing all tracks!

Amoreira enters the sergeant's office and finds him on the verge of having a nervous breakdown, “IVAN! What is it, my comrade, why are you like that?”

Ivan, who is hunched over the computer, immediately straightens up and grimaces, “I'm perfectly fine.”

“You're sweaty, disheveled, with dark circles under your eyes, and you look like you've lost weight.” Amoreira gives an accurate analysis of the sergeant and his appearance, “If I didn't know you better, I'd say you had AIDS.”

“Get out!” Ivan is offended.

Amoreira closes the door, “Don't tell me you're still on the crusade against Josias.”

“I am, and I won't rest until I can prove he ordered that murder!” Ivan punches the desk.

“Fine, but before that, you get

    Josias is horrified to see that Caio self-deprecates in this way, “Leech, you? No, Caio, I never thought of that!”“But that's what I think.” Caio gets up and walks away, “Uncle Josias, if you weren't rich, we'd all be in the favela today. No one has the same talent for business as you. My father would be the salvation, but he ruined his football career. My aunt Melissa would have married a guy from the favela and would still be poor today.”Josias gets up and tries to ease Caio's conscience, “My nephew, I never accused you of taking advantage of my wealth. On the contrary, I was always happy to help. Do you remember when we all lived close together in the little house in Green Park? I just couldn't leave your family behind.”Caio smiles bitterly at Josias, “Yes, and at that time my father was your great friend. How convenient. Now that my father no longer needs your money, he hates you.”Josias scratches the back of his head, “Your father’s question is more complicated.”“So, Uncle J

Dora is sweeping the living room to the tune of “Angel” by Robbie Williams, the new British singer who is stealing the hearts of Brazilian women.“Beautiful music, huh, grandma?” Caio asks playfully.“And the singer also is...” Dora answers without thinking.“What did I just hear?” Simeon suddenly appears from the kitchen, shirtless, freeballing in wet shorts and plumber's gloves.Caio bursts out laughing as Dora tries to fix herself, “Ehr... What is it, hubby, you know I love you. Even more so when you appear to me like this, all sexy, shirtless, and sensually wet...”Simeon pretends he's not getting carried away by the mood, “Don't make it up, woman. That water is what was stagnant in the kitchen pipe.”Dora was going to snuggle up against her husband's hairy chest, but when she feels the stench of dirty water from the sink mixed with detergent and grease, she wrinkles her nose and pulls away.Caio is happier to see his grandparents acting like

    Katherine is ushered into the police station as if she were a suspect in murder or money laundering. Some photographers who were covering other news noticed her and photographed her. An LCN reporter got excited and ran to the van where the rest of the team was.“Someone please call Vernon Queiroz! It's urgent, Mrs. Rocha has just been arrested!”Amoreira watched Katherine walk serenely through the corridors behind a mute Ivan.“Moraes, what is going on here? Why didn't you ask these photographers not to take pictures of Mrs. Rocha?”“I can't stop the press from speaking out,” Ivan responds ironically.“Yes, you may, unless Mrs. Rocha has been formally charged with a crime!” Amoreira defends her.“Don’t interfere with my investigation, Amoreira!” Instead of pushing the photographers, Ivan pushes the detective, “This way, Mrs. Rocha.”Katherine decides to keep quiet. After all, anything she says now could be used against her in court.When they are closed in the sergeant's office, Ivan

    At Rocha Hotel, Vernon is red and almost having a heart attack when talking to his co-workers. Vernon was one of the few Lagoon City citizens to use a cell phone, “Listen here, you morons: Don't do bad press with my son's wife! I know he is not my legitimate son, but believe me when I say that you are not ready to face the wrath of Josias Rocha! If you want to report something, talk about how Mrs. Rocha was shamefully and unfairly misled, without the prerogatives of the legal process, do you hear me?”He ends the call by nearly dunking the button on his Motorola device. Elsa is worried.“Careful, dear. This cell phone cost a lot of money.”“But I could afford it, and I suggest you buy one for yourself.” Vernon smiles slightly, “They're all buying.”“OK, but with this news I heard on the radio, I'm not even in the mood to buy a pair of shoes.” Elza crosses her fingers, “Why did they take our darling daughter-in-law? I'm so busy with the hotel that I don't have time for anything else.”

    At Crystal Blue, Daryl is presenting Diane with a cell phone. There were two boxes on top of the bar counter.Diane is delighted with the gift, “Oh, my love! Everyone is buying this stuff to communicate remotely.”“Everybody who has money, you mean.” Daryl jokingly states, “That device cost me a kidney, imagine buying two.”“Well, what's the use of just one of us having a mobile phone?” Diane shrugs and picks up the instruction manual to see how to handle it without breaking it on the first day.“You're right.” Daryl gives a light kiss on the cheek and also takes the manual for his device.Maggie nervously enters the restaurant, “Hello everyone! Can you tell me if Kate has left the police station safe and sound? Many commented that they saw Miguel Damascene’s car going at full speed to the police station.”Daryl and Diane stare at Maggie, “I don't understand. What happened to Kate?” Daryl asked.“She was taken by Sergeant Moraes to the police station to discuss the loan shark’s death.

    Vera returns from the psychiatrist with renewed spirits. Teresa is listening to the radio.“And the information we have is that Mrs. Katherine Rocha left the police station flanked by Josias Rocha. The two refused to speak to the press. Ironically, Mrs. Rocha is responsible for Public Relations at Rocha Constructions, so we couldn't get any explanation. The Lagoon City Police Station also didn’t respond and asked reporters to leave. Now continue with our normal schedule.”The radio started playing “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” but Teresa and Vera weren't thrilled with the Backstreet Boys.“How absurd is all this, sister-in-law!” Vera slams her purse on the counter, “Will Josias Rocha ever find peace?”"I'm glad it's Katherine and not Melissa." Teresa opines, “Can you imagine a lady who gave birth to twins facing such a challenge?”Vera opens her purse and searches for a piece of paper, “I got the number of a male psychiatrist to help my Wally.”“Hope it all works out, my frien

    In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene.

I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane...

It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

    At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh...

It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
