Saturday. Teodoro and Beto have breakfast. The radio has been moved into the kitchen and Bryan Adams's song "Heaven" is playing to the delight of the breakfasting tenants.
However, Teodoro is the only one with a frown even in the face of oatmeal with milk and fruit. Beto chews eggs with bacon and toast and tries to understand his father's bad mood.
"Are you angry about your diet? The doctors told you to take care of your cholesterol."
"What did you and bitch Pamela deal with yesterday?" Teodoro growls as he chews on a piece of strawberry.
Beto turns up his nose at the question. "Father, I think you'd better swallow your curses. Pamela will become Mrs. Reis and then give birth to your legitimate grandson."
Teodoro was going to swallow, but with Beto's sentence, he chokes. After disentangling himself, he complains, "But over my dead body!"
"OK, we'll have your funeral and then the wedding," Beto responds callously.
"When I planned on se
Harold and Uélton are watching a Formula 1 race on TV. But while Harold follows with interest, Uélton is sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed, looking like a cranky child."Not enjoying the race, son?" Harold asks."You can keep watching, Dad." Uélton gets up.At this moment, Josias appears at the open door. "Anybody home?"Uélton is negatively surprised. "What are you doing here?"Harold gets up, wondering at the bad mood. "Hello, Josias! Come in please."Josias enters facing Uélton. Isabel comes in from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron."Good morning, Josias!" She greets him, "Any good news?"Josias asks, still staring at Uélton: "Didn't you tell them?""Have you come to rub my shame in their faces?" Uélton counters with fury.Harold comes between the two. "Oops, best friends fight? Should we retreat, or...?""No need, Mr. Freire." Josias cal
Beto is taken aback by Carmen's question. Will he admit that he was also part of the plan against Pamela?He sits down on the sofa. Pamela looks at him anxiously. Cristina and Raymond are also waiting for an answer."Guys, I don't want to be the traitor brother." He clears his throat needlessly, "But, I knew."Everyone is surprised. Pamela pushes him by the shoulder."Beto! Why didn't you tell me?""I'm sorry, Pam!" Beto continues to lie and shake off the guilt, "I tried to warn Vera several times! Did you see how we fell out here? Since Vera laid eyes on Wallace, our family life has never been the same."Cristina asks: "You mean your father...?""My father since last year withdrew support from the marriage, but they insist they are getting married," Beto responds by peppering the lie with some nuances of truth."So, let's get married first!" Pamela decides, "I don't want to hear about Wally mistaking me, saying he still loves
Uélton enters Teodoro's building and finds the landlord solving the crossword while dancing "Cheri Cheri Lady" by Modern Talking. Suddenly Teodoro feels pain in his spine and straightens up."Oh, I'm not that young anymore." He regrets it. Seeing Uélton holding himself back to keep from laughing, he disguises, "Oh, son, have you come to see your brother? See if he isn't abusing my daughter."Uélton approaches. "I don't know whether to laugh at that phrase of yours or your little dance. Excuse me."Uélton enters the hallway and calmly goes to his brother's apartment. He was about to open the door without knocking when he hears unusual movement from inside. He puts his ear to the door and hears... moans?He knocks insistently, remembering what Teodoro said. Suddenly he hears louder noises, is it Wallace and Vera hurriedly dressing?The fact is, it took a while for Wallace to open the door, sweating and panting, with only a
Monday. Melissa, wearing a dressing gown, opens the penthouse door for Elisa. She comes in with a clothes hanger wrapped in a black bag."Good morning Melissa. Did you sleep well?" She asks.The two ladies exchange the three little kisses."I had some more nausea. I'm suspicious, my friend." Melissa responds. She narrows her eyes at the sight of the hanger, "What is this?""It's the new maid's uniform. If it doesn't fit, I'll bring another number."Melissa grabs the hanger while Elisa goes to the couch.Josias appears only in boxer shorts and is surprised to see Elisa present. "Whoa! Good morning Elisa... Erh...""Don't let Saul find out I saw you almost undressed." Elisa just smiles slightly, doesn't seem to be annoyed.Melissa lets out a laugh. "I'm taking the uniform to Flavia."Melissa goes into the bedroom and knocks on the door. Flávia attends, still sleepy."Good morning cousin!" Melissa greets her,
Pamela and Beto are getting married in a very simple way at the civil registry. The Justice of the Peace extends the documentation and the happy bride and groom eagerly sign. As witnesses, Beto called one of the warehouse colleagues and his wife.After everything has been signed, the justice of the peace announces with a smile: "Congratulations, Roberto Reis and Pamela Chaves; now, Pamela Reis: by the power of the State, you are now husband and wife!"The witnesses and the clerk clap their hands. Beto and Pamela kiss and celebrate.********************************************************Josias has not yet digested the information. He is sitting in his chair, frowning, drumming the fingers of his left hand on the top of his desk.Carmen comes in with a platter containing an unsolicited cup of tea, just to tease him. "Would you like some tea, sir?""Cut that tea bullshit!" Josias bursts out, "I demand an explanation of this clowning."
Vera is disgusted to know that Beto is getting married and hasn't even told her. "But what the hell is this? Why am I always the last to know things?"Ironically, Vera still doesn't know that Wallace already knows they didn't sleep together.Wallace hugs her, maybe too tight. "Calm down, honey. I'm sorry, I figured Beto was too cowardly to tell you. He's been judging us when we want to make love, but now he's marrying the most perverted bitch in Lagoon City. Be prepared to have five more nephews!"Vera lets go of Wallace as if he's covered in vomit. "That's not funny!"Wallace can't hide a nasty chuckle despite denying, "No, honey, I don't mean to hurt you." He grabs her again. Magically, there's no one around, "How about we relax our nerves in that corner? Let's take advantage of the fact that there's no more camera for Jorge to film our performance!"Vera feels all the blood on her face is gone. She remembers Saturday."Wally, we still hav
Beto's apartment is not tidy and cozy like Vera's. The fact that Beto left his house closed for years to live with Teodoro only made the situation worse.Pamela and Beto had their wedding afternoon in his room, which smelled like mildew. Pamela did not undress completely for fear of mites on the mattress and bedsheets. After the love act, Beto got up and went to the wardrobe. One of the doors came loose in his hand, as the piece of furniture is corroded by termites."There wasn't time to clean it up, dear." Beto apologizes.Pamela just smiles, wearing her nightgown. She doesn't want to be rude.As Jorge didn't give Beto the day off, he ran to the bathroom to shower and go back to the warehouse.Pamela puts on her clothes and greedily searches for cleaning supplies to start tidying up. She is now Mrs. Reis, and a housewife must ensure hygiene and asepsis.The floor was grimy and the furniture in the living room was dusty. Pamela swept, mopped
Tuesday. Melissa is wearing a nightgown that looks like a Japanese kimono, with a cup of coffee in her hands. She turns on the radio and chooses a station until she listens to David Foster's song "Love Theme of St. Elmo Fire". Melissa smiles, believing the music is worthy for Mrs. Rocha.Flávia appears in a hurry and only wearing a towel crossing the living room to her bedroom."Cousin!" Melissa catches her eye, "Did you use the bathroom on the other side of the penthouse?"Flavia freezes as if she were a criminal. "Ehr... Is there a problem?"Of course, there was a problem. In addition to Flávia risking pneumonia, there was also a risk that Caio would see his maid in that state.Melissa didn't think about the danger of Josias seeing Flavia's beautiful body just wrapped in a bath towel."There is a bathroom near your room.""Oh, I thought it wouldn't bother you." Flavia smiles yellowy. The bathroom Melissa referred to is
