SANDRA'S HOUSE - NIGHTSandra and Miriam are in trouble. Cássio is on the other side, wanting to enter. If he finds Miriam, he will discover that the two remain friends."Honey, are you home?""One minute, my love!" Sandra screams to buy time. She whispers to Miriam, "Go to my room, he doesn't go in there!""Never?" Miriam asked.Sandra gets annoyed with Miriam wanting to know why Cássio doesn't visit Sandra's room (for obvious reasons) and pushes the visitor there. She makes a sign of silence and closes the door. Then she messes up her clothes and opens the door.When the door opens, Cássio sees Sandra readjusting her clothes, and he has the impression that she was getting dressed."Hi, love, I just got out of the shower. I was afraid you were leaving.""You could use your robe!"Cássio's naughty smile makes Sandra red. She slaps his hands when he invites her for a hug."And catch that cold wind and die of tuberculosis? And who would be the new Boss Editor?""Monica!"Sandra hugs Cás
MALTHUS SNACK BARRosa enters the cafeteria and finds the house full. Aurélio is more composed, without dark circles, serving customers with a smile. Rosa notices the change in mood of the owner. She goes to the counter and waits to be answered. The same client who came up with the idea of making a kitty for repaying Aurélio's bank loan is finishing his breakfast. He looks at Rosa and winks.Rosa is surprised. Was that a "good morning" or a pick-up line? Although Silvio, a factory worker, had a strong body that draws attention, his three-day beard and slightly dirty uniform gave him an extra charm. However, it seems that his intention was just to say "good morning" because he talks in a normal tone."Well, Rosa, we have some good news today. We got the kitty for Aurélio."Rosa smiles with satisfaction. Aurélio returns to the counter."Good morning, Rosa. What is this Colgate smile?""I'm happy," she says, "and now you'll be happier than you already are."Aurélio speaks pouring a glass
CLÁUDIO TRAILERCélio and Cláudio talk about Ricardo's invitation to sue Carlos."You know, Mr. Reis, this Ricardo Oliveira appeared in our lives full of mysteries. There was a power outage in our neighborhood and my friend Monica suspected that it was him. A clandestine connection was identified that we call 'cat' and he was formally charged. But the investigation proved nothing, and we remain suspicious to this day.""But, could it have been him? How is your friend so sure?""She said she saw Ricardo with all the tools that someone uses to make the 'cat', even the ladder like a fire engine. It's not something that any family has at home.""I understand.""When Ricardo discovered that it was Monica who made the complaint, he harbored hatred for her. Monica is writing books with the dream of becoming a writer, but somehow Ricardo managed to steal a manuscript and published the book in front of her, without her permission, and the publisher even released a false name as a pseudonym. No
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMRicardo enters the house, upset that he was unable to convince Cláudio to join him in the lawsuit against Carlos. When he sits on the sofa to relax and takes off his shoes to relieve his feet, Rubens and Penha rush in and barely let him breathe."Ricardo!" Penha exclaims, "We need to talk to you urgently!"Ricardo remains with his eyes closed, without giving much importance, "Now you caught me at a bad time. Two people dared to upset me.""We are upset." Rubens complains, "You don't understand the immensity of the trouble you were in with Monica."The name "Monica" removes Ricardo's peace of mind instantly. He opens his eyes. "Don't speak to me in the name of that unfortunate."Rubens gets closer to him, "And when were you going to tell me that the one who actually found out about the book was her boyfriend? And that she's dating a Dance?"Ricardo returns the inquiring look, "And how did you find that out?"Ricardo looks at Penha and then back at Rubens, realizin
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMonica barely believes that Ricardo had the nerve to ask her for help to sue Carlos, after the scandal of stealing her novel, having the content tampered with, wearing that cover with the model almost naked, and having it sold to all of Brazil without her consent.However, following Fábio's advice, Monica decided not to deal with him at the moment, nor to tell Carina. At least, until Fábio discovers more details about the life of this dishonest being that is at her home.Then she goes on talking as if none of this has happened; however, she told him to stand by the connected computer, where Ricardo realizes that she is working on her second book. That was Monica's way of letting him know that she didn't give up on her dream, and kind of a challenge for him to dare to try again.The provocation affected him: Ricardo is embarrassed every time he looks at the printed sheets, "So, Monica?"Monica, all-powerful, and enjoying the situation, decides to play h
COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - AFTERNOONPenha is beating Rosa because she gave Fábio her phone number. Rosa is sprawled on the floor, almost losing consciousness, the hardcover notebook made a mark on her face.For a moment Penha thinks about leaving, but when she sees Rosa move, she remains where she is and asks with contempt in her voice, "Haven't you died yet?"Still lying in the middle of the notebooks, Rosa manages to look at her with disbelief, "What is all this about?""Who permitted you to give my phone to your friend's boyfriend? Because it's obvious that you knew who he was!"Rosa joins forces to answer because talking is hurting due to the blows, "I don't know why you were so angry. What, did he disguise himself as someone interested in renting a kitchenette and set up an appointment with you?""Yes! And in this building, on top of that. He cheated on me. When we were inside and alone, he stopped acting and asked me every question... Without an escape, I ended up saying everythi
POLICE STATION - NIGHTMiriam has just told Carlos that Ricardo is putting together a team to collectively sue him.Carlos falls into the chair, stunned, "Really, Miriam? No, that can't be!""What are you thinking of doing, Carlos?"Carlos gets up again, "Well, what can I do? I have no idea! I barely had time to get a lawyer. I just received the subpoena... No, I don't know."Miriam feels sorry for Carlos, she wants to hug and comfort him, but she remembers that the two broke up."Oh, Carlos, what about me? I'm doing a little job as a photographer and earning a few bucks, but nothing enough to pay for a lawyer. And I get discouraged asking for a free one in the public defender's office if theirs is from the most expensive firm in the kingdom.""You will see they don't even dare to face a Cardozo. Well, the Internet was installed here, I had a few things to do, but I will start researching our enemy. Don't worry, Miriam." He starts to walk away, but stops and turns to her, "A ride home
CASSIO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTThere is a knock at Cassio's door. He emerges from the room in shorts and without a shirt, drying his hair with a towel; he just got out of the shower. When he opens the door, it's Jonas on the other side. Cassio is slightly surprised."Jonas! Come in, buddy. How are you doing in the morning?"Jonas comes in with a slight smile, "Very well, Cassio. What about your job?"Cassio closes the door and puts the towel on his shoulders, gesturing for Jonas to sit in the armchair while he sits in another."Everyone asks me that like I'm in an important job. Well, I'm just a packer of goods. People shop and I put the products in plastic bags and say 'thanks for the preference'. That's it.""I am very happy that you have joined those who work honestly."Cassio lumps in his throat. Does he know about Wellington and Luís?"However," Jonas continues, "I came here to thank you for the effort.""For the effort?""Yes, for the effort to strengthen our bonds of friendship.
