It's a new world that is emerging for me."Cassio laughs at his friend's enthusiasm, "Do you think the computer will replace the typewriter?""I think. My instructor said that when they start selling affordable computers to the working class, everyone will buy them. It's much more practical to type documents. Seu Tito, who already has experience with the typewriter, will love to learn."The two friends sit on the couch.Cassio begins, "So, are you ready for the big news that left me stupid today?"Célio leans forward slightly.Cassio continues, "I found out who Lou and Well are working for.

He knows Annie; she already went to Ed's.Aurélio, as soon as he sees Annie, taps Silvio on the shoulder and points to the window.

CARINA'S STUDIO - DAYMonica is hiding at the studio door, listening to what will probably be Ricardo's proposal to Carina.Ricardo had told Carina that he was going to get something, but that he wanted to take the opportunity now to ask something. Carina already senses something very good and is excited.Ricardo, with his classic little silly smile, takes Carina's hands and speaks tenderly, "Carina... You are tired of hearing that I love you. I say this so many times that you must be beginning to suspect that it’s a lie."Carina burst out laughing. How beautiful and cute act from Ricardo! "I will never tire of your statements, Cardo.""So, if so, I wanted to ask you... Do you see yourself spending the rest of your life with me?"Carina remains smiling, if she had more space on her face, she would open her lips further. "Of course I do. I love you, too.""There, that was the answer I wanted. Now, excuse me, I'm going to get your money."Monica has a jolt and quickly leaves the studio

As I said... Cássio, right? Jonas said that his girlfriend bought a bottle of cheap and counterfeit wine, and started to show off all his knowledge about wines and vintages. Cabernet, Merlot, Sherry, Port wine... It looked like I was facing an oenologist!"Aurélio clenches his hand with the flannel, crushing it with rage, "That is, he already knows about wines, he already drinks!""Yes, and he even invited Cássio to get drunk one of these days."Aurélio throws the flannel on the floor as if it were Jonas himself, "This is
CARINA STUDIO - DAYCarina is extremely disgusted by Monica's accusation that it was Ricardo who took the photos and taped the conversations between Monica and Célio.Ricardo, in turn, decides not to interrupt the conversation to defend himself. He remains hidden, eager to hear the most and get the most out of it."Monica! But, what vile, dirty, depraved, and brazen lie is this that you tell me?"Monica is surprised by Carina's outburst, all the more because Carina is NO LONGER pale or feeling low blood pressure, "No, Carina... I've been thinking with Fábio and we came to that conclusion.""You two hate Ricardo and you just blame him!""No, Carina; let me explain. We interrogated both Miriam and Fábia Peres if they had anything to do with the photos and the recording and they denied it. When we crossed the information, we realized that they were telling the truth."Carina is even more surprised, crossing her arms, "What did you say? Did they deny it and did you just believe it? Does i
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio is disgusted, disappointed, and hurt after listening to a cassette tape revealing conversations between Monica and Célio."But, that idiot is deserving of another beating! But, now I can't just blame him anymore. And Monica? How could she do this to me? Asking me to arrange my family's lawyer as if it were her idea? Yeah, she knows that I would deny if I knew whose idea it was."Fábio had already pressed "stop", now he rewinds the tape, pressing the button very angrily, almost breaking it."Let's hear this drug right from the start! Without hiding anything from me!"Fábio presses "play", and the tape returns to show the conversation between Monica and Tito. Fábio goes to the armchair and sits down, attentive to the content.CARINA'S STUDIOMonica realizes that for now, she won’t be able to dissuade Carina to accept Ricardo's marriage proposal, after accusing him of being responsible for the recordings and tapes."I see that you are reconsidering now, Mo
