Teodoro leaves the radio on in Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" song and retires to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While the lobby is empty, William enters, looking for the landlord.
When realizing that he is far away, hearing only his whistle according to the song and the noise of the pots, William takes advantage and enters the corridor that gives access to the stairs. However, something inside him alarmed him. Was it worth the stairs? Wouldn't Teodoro have recommended a room on the first floor for Pamela?
"When the pregnancy progresses, it will be worse for her to climb stairs." William reasons.
Then he goes down the hall on the ground floor. The first door at sight was open. William looks inside and realizes that this is Teodoro's apartment. Then he goes through other doors. One was closed, William knocked on and gently asked if Pamela lived in the room.
Upon reaching room six, the door is also closed. William is determined to knock on all the closed doors

Melissa asks with wide eyes."Melissa, look at the language," Romualdo asks like every boss."Yes, Melissa," Uélton replies with his head down, "he doesn't want to be a deacon anymore and probably won't even set foot in the Church anymore, because everyone is talking and gossiping about it. Wallace, for our doctrines, couldn't be involved with Pamela.""Imagine what the brethren of the Church are saying."

"No! The father is Josias, Wally, you have to believe me!""Look, when somebody says vehemently 'you have to believe me', it is because the person is lying." Wallace philosophizes."I'm not lying, it's William who's all confused." Pamela starts to cry.Wallace crosses his arms. "Sorry, Pamela, but for William to think he's the father, at least you and he have had a few nights of love.

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.

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.

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.
