At Happiness Slum Church, William was present socially dressed with a tie, worshiping the Lord. Stacy had decided to visit him to thank God for yesterday's success.
The Freire family is present and equally grateful for William's success. As he is Josias's brother-in-law, it's all in the family.
However, when William looks at the Freire family, he can't help but feel that Wallace is missing. Where did he go?
When the service ends, all the congregation get up and talk to each other. Uélton is one of the first to go to William.
"Oh, neighbor, I'm glad you came back here!" He greets him, "I already told you congratulations. What's up, Stacy?"
"Hello, Uélton." Stacy turns to William, "I better get going, love. The restaurant will open soon and I have work to do."
"But today is Sunday, Stacy!" Uélton complains without understanding Crystal Blue's routine.
Stacy respectfully explains, "Uélton, today we will have l
Seeing Carmen's embarrassment, Cristina and Pamela decide to act as an organized crowd."Come on honey, accept!" Cristina encourages."Just say you love him!" Pamela vibrates.The others laugh, making the atmosphere more relaxed.Carmen finally takes a deep breath and says, "I feel the same way about you too, Tiago."Tiago is relieved, for a moment he thought that Carmen was going to deny everything and run out of the restaurant as usual in movies.Then he stares at Raymond, "Mister Chaves, do I have your permission and your blessing to make your daughter the happiest woman in Lagoon City?""No."Everyone immediately becomes serious and tense, the laughter ceases immediately. What do you mean, no?After a few seconds of suspense, Raymond makes a boyish face and replies: "I give you permission to make her the happiest woman in Brazil!"All fall apart between "Ahs" and "Ohs". Phew, what a scare, Raymond!Stac
A few days pass. Coach Ferreira is signing papers and documents at Silva Constructions' office. On the other side of the desk, Romualdo runs the operation as head of the company."Any questions, Mr. Ferreira?" Romualdo asks."No, everything is fine." Ferreira nods. He finishes signing where he was pointed out and hands him the sheets, "It's a pleasure to partner with you.""Likewise. As a former resident of the same favela, it's a pride for me to help the community in some way." Romualdo leans back in the presidential chair.The door opens and Josias and Tiago enter."All right, Romualdo?" Josias asks."All right folks. We are now the sponsors of the Happiness Slum soccer team." Romualdo announces with a slight smile.Ferreira stands up and extends his hand. Romualdo greets him.The other gentlemen also say goodbye to Ferreira, shaking his hand. After saying goodbyes, the coach leaves.When Josias closes the door, he vib
When Flávia is about to declare that she would never marry someone like Uélton, the bell imitating celestial bells is rung. Flavia chokes on her words and has a panic attack.Lately, Elza or Elisa have been entering the penthouse without the doorman calling to let them up or call the police. As they became known at the entrance building, they were given a free pass."Could you answer it for me, Flavia?" Melissa asks kindly.Flávia goes to answer it with a broom in her hand, about to attack Elza (or Elisa) but is surprised when she sees it's William."Cousin Will!" Flavia exclaims in surprise."Cousin Flávia, have they already told you that you look funny in this maid's uniform?" William jokes without being offensive.And Flávia is not offended either. She has always had a crush on her cousin and now her legs go weak when she sees him as a grown man, handsome and sturdy, and a famous football player on top o
Josias is upset to learn that the late moneylender did, in fact, have a spy scheme to find out about him."Well then, that explains why he knew so much about my life!" Josias bangs his fist on the desk."What is it, sir?" Ernesto is amused by Josias's reaction, "Did you think José Augusto was omnipresent?""That's what it looked like! I never understood how he found me after such a long time. So it was basically through your means.""It wasn't exactly my intention." Ernesto apologizes, "I really used to keep vigil in certain places to find out what the neighbors were talking about. Sometimes José Augusto would use someone's secret to collect the debt more assertively. So I was on the lookout at Evandro's cafeteria...""Where Moacyr Barbosa is a regular customer, and he ended up telling Evandro about me without realizing that you were listening." Josias completes quickly, in one breath. "There, I get it. It's better if I don't even tel
In Teodoro's office, Carmen and Cristina finish watching the last episode of the 'Dallas' season, leaving a cliffhanger for the following season.They are emotional, about to cry."Another successful journey," Cristina says."Mother, it's good that you can continue to follow the TV shows in the late Teodoro's television." Carmen gets up satisfied."I hope he doesn't pull my foot at dawn." Cristina jokes."This job of yours fit like a glove. You were alone at home, with all of us working outside. Pamela moved into her husband's apartment. Here you have things to do.""Yes, and I did a decent cleaning in here, threw a few things away, dusted all the furniture off... you can see the difference."Carmen smiles nodding. Her mother was always capricious.Cristina continues: "Now I'm surprised to see you made it out early because of your boyfriend."Carmen smiles from ear to ear. "Mother, Tiago Bento was the best thing that hap
The next day, at Evandro's cafeteria, he's frying chicken patties while Jimmy Cliff's song "Hot Shot" makes the customers in attendance shake their heads as they wait for the snack.Among them is Moacyr, the most regular customer.Next to him, Vernon and João Paulo enter."Is this, son, where you want to eat a pastry?""Everyone talks about this place, Dad." John Paul answers. He's a kid, but he's smart.When Evandro turns off the stove and turns to the customers, his smile momentarily fades when he sees Vernon. But he manages to disguise it and announces: "The pastries are ready, I'll take care of everyone!"Vernon and João Paulo sit beside Moacyr."Your son is right." Moacyr advertises the snack bar, "Our friend Evandro has plenty of experience in frying pastries. I even don't budge, even though the doctors keep warning me about cholesterol."Vernon and João Paulo laugh.Adrian walks in, dressed so
Moacyr walks down the street where Josias lived before suffering from his father being murdered. Before, he didn't know where he lived, but after the crime and the exposure of the case, everyone found out where the house was.When it was auctioned for having been abandoned, those who didn't know it now found out where Josias Rocha lived.Too bad Josias didn't have time to buy it back. Although Moacyr suspected whether it was a matter of time or will.Would Josias have wanted to buy the house where his father had died cowardly murdered, and in a neighborhood where the moneylender was still alive and terrorizing everyone? I do not think so.Moacyr stopped at the house and was startled. Was it really here?The house had been completely cleaned and renovated. The front yard lawn has been trimmed and is now free of weeds. The walls have been repainted in a sand color. A part of the side area was covered with a colonial roof and turned into a garage. And
After Jorge leaves his office, Josias and Vera enter and close the door. Vera widens her eyes and is terrified. Will Josias also want...?Because of what happened between her and Wallace, Vera now thinks every man in the world wants to force himself on her. Ironically, if Wallace shows up and asks for forgiveness, Vera would be willing to forgive him, as she'd told Prates earlier.But, Josias would never do something like that. He just doesn't want to be interrupted by Beto. "Let's talk very clearly, Vera. First of all, I would like to congratulate you."Vera smiles and sits in Jorge's chair instead of letting Josias sit in it. "Wow, that's cool! Congratulations, why?"Josias responds in a voice full of spite, "Congratulations on pretending to be a decent girl; congratulations on getting into where it wasn't your business; congratulations on involving another boy in this web of lies and losing your virginity without being married; congratulations on sinki
