Following day. William is wearing a real leather shoe in his living room. Caio approaches him wearing only sweatpants and rubbing his eyes, as he had just woken up. He finds it strange that his father is already wearing a shirt and dress pants. The supporter is near him.

The radio playing Linkin Park’s song “Somewhere I Belong” left the scene darker for Caio, “Dad? Are you leaving already? Where are you going?”

“Did you have a great time at the party yesterday, son?” William finishes putting on his shoes.

“Yes, but you didn’t answer me.” Caio insists, positioning himself in front of his father.

William smiles a little, “Don’t worry about me, son. Concentrate on the entrance exam and being an architect as famous as Octavio Motta.”

Caio crosses his arms, “You’re not going to tell me, are you? If it was something normal and no harm, you would have told me straight away. Are you up to something?”

William stands up, serious, “Definitely, Caio, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your

    William rubs his ears, sensing he hasn’t heard right.What did Daryl say?Was he, William, the anonymous sender who sent the photos of Josias and Gabriela to everyone, culminating in the divorce?Daryl smiles more and more with pleasure as he sees his enemy think and mull over lies and excuses. But he decided not to give him time, “Gotcha, huh?”“My nose, you got me!” William would have jumped on the sofa if it weren’t for his bad leg, “What are you talking about, you imbecile?”Daryl wags his index finger, “It’s no use coming smartly at me. William Campos, you are the most despicable and deceitful guy I’ve ever met. I never thought you were capable of such villainy. Josias was angry with everyone who clearly wanted to get rid of Katherine, but didn’t know you were one of them.”William frowns, “That’s a lie!”“Did you love Katherine Bezerra?” Daryl retorts.“No, I always thought she was a terrible wife for Josias.

    William walks through the halls of Rocha Constructions with a scowl, deterring people from asking what he needs.When he arrives at Pollyanna’s desk, it’s she who ventures to ask, “Mr. Campos, are you in trouble?”“Miss, sorry I didn’t memorize your name,” William responds dryly.“Pollyanna.”“Miss Pollyanna, is your employer in?”“Yes, he’s in the office.” Pollyanna starts to get up.“No need to announce me, I’ll come in.” William goes slowly to the door and opens it.He hears Josias talking on his cell phone, “Yes, we can send a representative to Linhares to build the building you want. Thank you very much for choosing us! One of our architects will contact you with suggestions for plans...” Josias sees William and motions him in, “OK sir, bye!” He hangs up, “Will, come closer!”William goes closer. He tries to speed up, but almost falls because of it, “Oops... Argh, will I ever be able to walk normally like Seu Moacyr?”Josias gets up, goes to William, and helps him to sit on the n

Was Patrick at the party, but he got kicked out?“Any questions, sir? Young Mr. Fabray is studying for the entrance exams with his cousin, Caio Campos, at his grandparents’ house.”“Oh, thank you very much, I’ll confirm.” Daryl thanks him and ends the call.

A double-page ad featured gorgeous models in lingerie.“Wow, if I were fifteen years younger...”The door opens and Josias enters, “Good afternoon, Detective Amoreira. Shall I interrupt?”Amoreira smiles from end to end when he finds Josias, “Mr. Rocha! Come in, please! No, you don’t disturb me. I’ll be more than happy to help you.”Josias smiles and sits down facing each other, “OK. Can you help me with something?”“Tell me.”“Did you happen to be the one who told Daryl Mountain that William Campos was the anonymous sender?”Amoreira becomes more professional and less friendly, “Hmm...

    The day of the entrance exam for Alan and Caio has arrived.Both were at the entrance to Lagoon City College, located in the Saint Gabriel neighborhood. Their families showed up to bring good luck.William has mixed emotions. The neighborhood always reminds him of what happened in 1982. The player from this neighborhood team, in desperation to prevent William from scoring, intercepted him in such a way that it looked like football and not soccer. It was the first time William had broken his leg.He now looks at the brace he needs to use to walk...But he decides to swallow those thoughts and focus on his son, “Caio, pay close attention to the questions, especially the math ones. If you don’t do well in that part, the teachers who correct the test are unlikely to believe that you want to be an architect.”Caio smiles, “Don’t worry, Dad. Alan and I focused a lot on math. After all, without it, it’s impossible to run a company.”William turns to Alan, “You have a good test too, nephew.”

    The smaller children were playing with car toys, dolls, and a Spandex tunnel that they crawled through, from one end to the other. The tunnel was a gift from Josias to Alan and Caroline.The tunnel was narrow, even though it was made of stretchable material, and children like Henrique didn’t dare enter it. Only Mary, Ignacio, Sandra, and Maycon ventured out.Reuben had indeed gone to the bathroom and on returning through the side passageway in his swim trunks, he found the children enjoying themselves. Maycon had just left.“Wow, what a cool tunnel. Aren’t you afraid when you’re in there?”“Not really, Reuben, we are brave!” Maycon says.Reuben narrows his eyes, “But this tunnel is kind of long, huh? Are you sure this is a children’s toy?”“We do.” Ignacio nods.Henrique answers, “It serves to train our proprioception. Now, you’ll have to ask my father what that is.”“Can I try?” Reuben asks with a smirk, “Maybe I need to practice that stuff too. I never had one in my childhood.”The

    After finishing the entrance exams, Alan and Caio are having lunch at the nearest snack bar. They didn’t want to go to the mansion hungry. The radio is playing “Come Clean” by Hillary Duff.“Now we’re eating coxinha and sugarcane juice.” Alan laughs, “But beef ribs, chicken wings, and pork chops await us at the mansion.”“It’s just so we don’t pass out from hunger during the journey.” Caio chuckles as he chews, “So, are you confident?”“Yes, I am. We’ll pass and study with honors.” Alan sighs, “Our parents deserve this happiness.”“Uncle Josias never went to college, did he?” Caio is curious.“No, he took a technical course at SENAI. But nowadays, people demand a higher qualification a lot. We don’t want to be unprepared when our turn comes.” Alan spreads ketchup on his coxinha.“In your case,

    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 the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

    At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. 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

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. 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

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

    At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. 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
