HOSPITAL DE CASA BRANCA - DAYRicardo and Carina continue to talk after she finishes eating breakfast, satisfied with the abundance."A delight, love. Everyone usually complains about hospital food."Ricardo chuckles, "It's just that they know they can't go wrong with me, love."Carina is kissed on the cheek by him. So she is intrigued, "Cardo, all of this is very nice, but... Will you be able to afford it? I mean, look at this room! It's practically a suite, just for me, there are no other beds."Ricardo remembers Rubens's warning that too much exhibition could attract attention. Even Carina ended up noticing."Honey, I have health insurance here and my parents are VIP customers. When my mom had a serious health problem, cancer... We thought she was going to die... They treated us very well, and my mom got recovered thanks to God and the competent doctors. So I didn't think twice and I took you here. Because Roldão came to my house to tell me that you had gotten worse."Carina frowns
HOSPITAL DE CASA BRANCA - DAYRicardo is concerned about the possibility of Carina dropping the lawsuit against Miriam."My love, let's think more calmly."Carina shakes her head, "Honey, you don't know me. I am always a peacemaker. Until then I was willing to sue Miriam, to crush her like a cockroach in court because she didn't regret it, and also, because of this misunderstanding between Carlos and me. If we go to talk and put everything on clean plates, there will be no more need to go to extremes."Ricardo sits on the stool and is very close to her."Okay, let's think about the possibility of you canceling your lawsuit against Miriam. My situation with Carlos remains. I still want him to answer in court the arbitrary arrest against me. And I was even punched as a gift."Carina smiles slightly, she pats his head, "You are in your right, my love. I cannot agree with what Roldão did.""Much less I will allow him to slander you, saying that we already slept together! I respect you, de
HOSPITAL DE CASA BRANCA - DAYCarina asks Miriam an important question: is she willing to make peace and leave all hatred and bitterness behind?Actually... NO! Miriam is not willing to make amends. Pretending regret and hoping that Carina will forgive her and free her from the lawsuit would be too easy. And Miriam wanted to fight, she wanted to win. She is convinced that she can reverse her situation in court with Fábia Peres's lawyer.In addition, Ricardo will continue to sue Carlos anyway. His case is separate from Carina's legal action. So, is it like that, Miriam gets rid of the process and Carlos harms himself?Of course not! Because, if it’s to be prosecuted, then Miriam would be willing to suffer the same illness together with her beloved policeman; she won’t let Carlos suffer alone while she manages to get away with pretending regret in front of Carina.Thus, Miriam adopts a stern stance and only responds coldly, "No, Carina. I didn't come here on a peacekeeping mission. At l
CASA BRANCA HOSPITAL - AFTERNOONCarina asks Ricardo if he really needs to hate Monica and all her friends. Ricardo is taken by surprise. Aurélio is present, provocative, waiting for what he will answer.Ricardo tries to dodge as he can, "Honey, you know that my disagreement with your friends, especially with Monica, is due to that mess of the electric cat.""But, this matter has passed so long... I think Monica has already forgotten about this matter.""So why can't we have a peaceful and decent conversation when we meet?""Perhaps it’s the case that you take the first step. And look at the situation: if the case against Miriam continues, we will have Monica as my witness, and you asked her to help you in your lawsuit as well. You will have to live peacefully with her anyway."Aurélio is touched by Carina's purity and innocence. She must be crowned the Empress of Peace!However, such candor is not able to soften Ricardo's stone heart."I don't know, Carina. You are a woman; you are s
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONAnnie and Sandra are appalled by Monica admitting that she has hidden part of the truth so that Fábio doesn't think she is cheating on him with Célio. However, Sandra's annoyance is even greater, because then Fábia Peres and Miriam's plan does not work."Monica, allow me my friend's advice." Sandra comments, "Tell the whole truth to Fábio, show the photos you hid. Better that than Fábia Peres coming back tomorrow, insisting with Fábio that this happened.""Fábio will no longer listen to Fábia Peres, Sandra.""But, he's being cheated by you. That's worse than being cheated by Fábia Peres. Yeah, you two are dating."Annie risks giving her opinion, "I tend to agree with Sandra, Monica. You took a chance. If Fábio hears the truth by other means..."But Monica doesn't even want to think about the hypothesis. She fidgets in the chair, opens, and closes her hands as if she were an angry cat, "No, girls, let's think positively. It wasn't even for those damn pi
WHITE HOUSE HOSPITAL - NIGHTRicardo stays to die when Penha introduces Rubens as her boyfriend. He knows this is a lie. Penha, however, doesn't even look at him; she continues to talk to Carina. Rubens disguises smiling on the outside, but he is shaking on the inside."And then my BROTHER said that you had a nervous breakdown. How is it, creature? You seem so calm and serene...""Ah, dear, you need to increase your communication with your brother. A lot is going on in my life, a carousel of emotions."Penha looks sarcastically at Ricardo and then continues, "If it’s related to the lawsuit you are taking against the vandal, he told me.""She came here to see if I was okay, and for a moment I thought she was sorry because I saw her cry. But, I was wrong, it was a mere formality."Penha disparages Carina in thoughts, "But, what a stupid woman and easy to be deceived! Ricardo will do whatever he wants with this poor girl."Ricardo announces to Carina, "I'm going out, dear. Just chat with
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - DAYMonday. Miriam is tidying up her room, later she will meet with Fábia Peres's lawyer.Fábia Peres enters, with another plastic bag in hand."Good morning, Fábia Peres!" Miriam greets her."Good morning. Today I came to show you the pictures of my debutante party."And Fábia Peres takes out the photo album that was in the bag. The hardcover and well-crafted album was made to order with technology still unknown to Miriam."Girl... I, as a photographer, do not know this type of album... It must have been very expensive.""Oh, and do we bother with the price? We want quality and good taste, dear. Now let's sit down."Miriam and Fábia Peres sit on the mattress and start leafing through the pages, with each stupendous photo, one more beautiful than the other. Several shots of Fábia Peres with her pink dress, her glamorous hairstyle, the handsome prince who accompanied her, and the fifteen couples who waltzed with her.Here, in the couples, that Fábia Peres wanted to d
GRANJA SQUARE - DAYWellington makes an unusual proposal for Ed to stop being interested in Ricardo. As if Ed was interested. This maneuver is what makes him more curious.With that, Ed smiles, amused, "Guy, I will never understand all this fear. Were you planning to do something criminal with Ricardo?"Wellington feels the blood boil, "Of course not, are you crazy?""So is Ricardo doing something criminal and are you investigating?"Wellington deepens his voice, he is not kidding, "What do you want to shut up at once?"Ed is thinking for a few seconds. Wellington thinks Ed is going to take advantage and ask for something impossible, but..."Is five reais for me to eat my cheese pastry good for you?"Wellington loses his temper and thinks Ed is mocking him. He takes Ed by the collar of his uniform shirt and lifts him. Ed again becomes fearful of his friend's violent reaction."If I know that you are still getting into this subject, I will kill you myself, got it? Go study and be someo
