At the Teodoro building, Beto and Pedro brought a Christmas tree to decorate the lobby.

Teresa, Maycon, Rosemary, and Thierry were enchanted and planned the decoration.

The radio followed tradition, now playing "Burnin' Up" by The Jonas Brothers.

Thierry jokes, "Hey, shouldn't it be the other song?"

"You better not to touch the radio." Teresa jokes, "It's part of the tradition. Probably the announcer will choose the mentioned song."

Daniela appears, coming from work, smiling at the familiar scene.

"Daniela! Come closer!" Pedro wraps his arm around her and pulls her closer, "What do you think?"

"I think it's wonderful, dear." Daniela feels like part of the family.

Teresa approaches her, "Daniela, I may not be Pete's biological mother, but I thank you for standing up for him earlier today."

"You're welcome, Tess." Daniela reacts as if it's not a big deal, "And for all intents and purposes, you'll be my mother-in-law. It was you who raised and educated this great man."

Angela sat at her desk.Karen chuckled dismissively, "Who can tolerate the son of the big-eared retard?""Well, Josias was brainwashed and agreed to this nonsense. My son, an excellent gentleman, not wanting to cause discord, passively accepted and moved to the apartment of two friends he met."

    At the Rocha Mansion, in the living room, it was nightfall in the year 2009.The Rocha family had gathered once more to usher in the New Year.Josias, positioned amidst them, poised to make a significant announcement.Josias addressed the assembly, "Everyone, I'd like to take this moment to elucidate an event that transpired in our lives. You're all aware that in 2007, Felipe Mountain was shot in his Crystal Blue office."Reuben, displaying disinterest, rolled his eyes while Caroline, seeking decorum, nudged him.Ignoring the interruption, Josias continued, "Naturally, we were deeply troubled by this unforeseen incident. Particularly when suspicions began to cast shadows upon some of us."Reuben interjected with sarcasm, "They had the audacity to suspect my beloved fiancée. What a farce!"His attempt at humor fell flat, met with a deafening silence.Undeterred, Josias pressed on, "Thank you for that, Reuben. As you've gathered, I urged authorities to cease their investigations. I coul

He's fine, living with Ben and Neil.""I wanted him to live here," Caroline admitted."Living together was—" Melissa began, but Caroline cut her off abruptly."I KNOW!

Said he was going to have brunch at Café Montanha."Kelvin exclaimed dumbfounded, "Did the guy have such an issue with my appearance that he decided to leave?"Angela clarified, "It's not quite like that, Kelvin. He doesn't approve of our relationship. You showing up half-naked in front of him, rubbing in his face the fact that we're lovers, doesn't help at all."Kelvin pondered, "So I should pretend we're nothing?"Angela rolled her eyes and set her coffee cup on the saucer."How did you manage to date Melissa?" she

Are you okay with that, Felipe?"Pedro slammed the door shut and approached the desk."Why are you only coming at me?" Felipe protested."Because if you're not up for such nonsense, I'll be at ease. You won't let Mr. Lombardi influence you no matter how hard he tries."Hamilton tried to explain, "Listen, Pete—""And what about you, Mr. Lombardi? Didn't we talk about this last year?

    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?

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

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
