On Tuesday morning, Beto is having breakfast in the kitchen. To remember the time when Josias lived with him, Teodoro happily prepares a delicious breakfast.

Beto is already chewing bread with scrambled eggs when Teodoro puts another frying pan with fresh, tempting-smelling bacon on the table. "Okay, Dad, I don't need anything else."

Teodoro does not seem to have heard, as he puts on the table guava jam and buns. Then the landlord pulls out his chair and sits down. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

"You still treat me like I'm eight." Beto is not complaining; he is talking with a wistful smile.

Teodoro cuts a bun, fills it with guava jam, and hands it to his son without knowing if he wanted it or not. "So, can I already buy a camera to photograph the busted?"

Beto starts to laugh. "I don't know. How are we going with Vera?"

"Vera is not coming very often." Teodoro explains, "She said that Pamela's mother was at the apartment

    Later, Tiago is talking to Romualdo about why they should hire Octavio. Romualdo has a skeptical look on his face while Tiago speaks excitedly."The boy is leaving college with new and modern ideas." Tiago argues with gestures, "And it would be a good incentive for him if he has a company that supports him so soon.""Is he not too busy with the monograph?" Romualdo asks with a slight smile."We will ask in tomorrow's interview," Tiago answers with confidence."You also said that it has to do with the loan shark that nobody knows the name of?" Romualdo leans back against the back of his presidential chair."Yes. He and Josias were high school classmates. If he joins Octavio plus Moacyr Barbosa, Josias will finally pursue justice for the murdered father." Tiago breaks his smile, "This crime cannot go unpunished. It's been three years...""Yes, those who killed Tony Rocha are under arrest, but the guy who ordered them to kill is still at large.

    Inside the auto repair shop, Simeon is talking to the owner and his boss, resigning. Of course, he will not speak the real reason."It hasn't been easy for me, sir." Simeon tries to explain, "Now I'm living in Green Park, on the other side of town, and I'm taking two buses to come here."The owner comments: "It is a pity that we do not yet have a train or subway." He is a fifty-year-old man and is wearing formal clothes, "But, are you sure, Simeon? Do you already have something else to do, another place to work?""My future son-in-law is helping me. In fact, he helped me move there.""Ah, okay, I thought you hit the lottery. Green Park is not for everyone to live in." The owner laughs when he says that.Simeon also relaxes. The two continue to deal with his dismissal. Moments later, when Simeon leaves the small room of the now ex-boss, Jeremiah is hurrying away, but it is clear to Simeon that he was spying."Hey, Jeremiah!" Simeon cries out

"I don't drink beer, but I'm going to celebrate with cane juice! Evandro, serve me a very cold cane juice and see me that stuffed pizza pastry!"Evandro and Moacyr are infected with the boy's joy.Moacyr risks asking: "Any news?"Octavio does not know Moacyr, but he is so happy that he decides to answer: "Do you know Silva Construction Company? I will have the privilege of working for them as an architect! A nice girl just called me asking to come to the office tomorrow!""That deserves a little song!" Evandro opines. He goes to the radio and turns it on. Ironically, it is sounding "She Works Hard for the Money" by Donna Summer."Hey, I know enough English to know that this song is not talking about men," Octavio informs, and the r

    Adrian is visiting Moacyr. Moacyr's new house is now furnished. The sofa and armchair are lined with white cloths sewn by Moacyr's late wife. Moacyr is sitting in the armchair while Adrian is standing in front of him, examining him as if he were a doctor. Moacyr's appearance is not good; he is pale and is complaining of a headache."Dad, we have to go to the doctor. You may be having a stroke." Adrian, despite being a sucker, is an extremely loyal son to his father.Moacyr smiles weakly, indicating that it is not so much. "I'm fine, son. I'm not indicating the classic symptoms of a stroke.""So that must be a lot of blood sugar." Adrian walks away and folds his arms, "Have you been eating again at Evandro's cafeteria? Watch out, Dad, you may be or maybe you already have diabetes. I, who am younger, don't keep stuffing myself with these fatty snacks."Moacyr licks his lips as if he wants to eat more. He smiles just like Teodoro: "Actually, I killed myself

    Wallace is in mixed emotions. He doesn't want Pamela to think that he is cheating on her with Vera, at the same time he is happy to see that Pamela is jealous; because that would be an indication that she loves him."What is the matter, Pamela?" Wallace smiles very slightly, by the corner of his mouth, "Are you jealous?"Pamela takes another cup and throws it violently at Wallace. He ducks and the cup goes away, crashing into a wall."You bastard, idiot! And then do you complain that I want to marry Josias? He's not an idiot and blind like you!"Wallace gets angry and loses his temper with his girlfriend. "But, then, don't you like Vera's visits? Why do you consider her as her friend, after all?""I liked Vera until I saw she's having feelings for you and you're responding! You miserable dog!" Pamela roars feeling entitled to be jealous, when she goes to bed with Jeremiah whenever they can."That's enough! You are not going to the supermarke

Melissa yells the exclamation, "Mr. Silva, don't spoil the mood of my day!"Romualdo smiles from the corner of his mouth. "Calm down, my daughter; the poor Mr. Barbosa came here practically to plead with his stray son to have a job, I couldn't resist.""And what is he going to do in here?"

    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. The point is

    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

    Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. 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

    At the management office of Lafayette Supermarket, Thierry was signing a fat check for a member of the Cintra family. The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die! Otherwise, we would tear this crappy supermarket down! It was much better when the Ramos family ran this

    The next day, Daniela was talking to Dr. Matthew Hogan at General Hospital. “Alright, Daniela,” he said with a smile. “I hope we don't find anything serious in your tests.” “Could I... be pregnant?” Daniela asked in a whisper. Talking to Matthew inevitably reminded her of Silvana Hogan, his mother and a famous obstetrician. “My mother is now retired and enjoying the Bahamas,” Matthew said kindly. “If your test results indicate you’re expecting, we’ll refer you to the appropriate department.” “Thank you so much, Dr. Hogan!” Daniela extended her hand, and Matthew shook it. A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family. She smiled mischievously as she recalled the countless nights of passionate love where Pedro ravaged her mercilessly, only stopping when the alarm rang the next morning. How could she not

    Melissa worried about her parents' objection regarding the twins getting involved with their paternal family. "Mom, Dad, I understand your concern." Melissa broke the silence. "But in a way, they're right. I don't have the right to completely cut them off from Kelvin. Besides, they have another little brother." Dora looked at her wristwatch. "At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries." "If I bring this up, I'll unintentionally be starting a stupid war," Melissa retorted. "They know their boundaries.

    At Rocha Constructions, Sofia is eager to prove that she was right all along about Suzy. She leaned back against Alan again, wanting information. "Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity. "Speaking of which, dear, we haven't heard any news about Vaztrans being in trouble this year. Did you finally manage to control the spending?" Sofia looked confused.
