In the lobby of Rocha Constructions, the phone is ringing. Carmen is not working today. Octavio appears to answer it, "Hello?" Kelvin is on the other end speaking excitedly, "Hello, is this Rocha Constructions?" "This is Octavio Motta, the company's architect. What can I do for you?" Kelvin speaks in one breath, "Mr. Rocha and Mr. Bento need to know that Stacy Moreira is leaving Lagoon City unrealistically and unreasonably." Octavio narrows his eyes, "Stacy is leaving?" "She fought with her boyfriend or found out he didn't fully love her, I don't know; I couldn't figure it out. She ran away from here without even settling her resignation from the restaurant." Octavio purses his lips, "Young man, are you talking from Crystal Blue?" "That's right." Octavio is indifferent, it's the same old story he's tired of hearing. "OK. Maybe you don't know, but it would be a lot better if no one knew that Stacy decided

Pamela visits Tiago's home. She and Carmen talk while sitting on the couch."What's up, Pam? How did our father react to the announcement?"Pamela reacts suspiciously, "Usually grandparents are happy with the grandchildren coming, but Dad was very concerned about our financial situation."Carmen does not feel the same strangeness, "Of course, dear sister. The country is not at its best financially and you have two children under the age of ten to take care of."Pamela smiles and caresses her belly, "I know, but I still like the idea of having one more boy... or girl?"Carmen smiles from the corner of her mouth, "You sure you have consulted with Dr. Silvana?"Pamela nods smiling, "Sure, she's the best in town. Too bad she also does consult with Melissa."Carmen scratches her head, "Pam, have you never really thought about making up with Melissa? I mean, it's been several years since you two have spoken... in 1991 it will be ten years o

In Uélton's apartment, he's smiling idly as he adjusts himself in the living room mirror, confident that Vernon is having panic attacks upon receiving his envelope. The radio is playing "Lonely is the Night" by Air Supply. Flávia approaches him and sees her husband confident and even too happy. "We have good news, honey? Will you get a pay raise?" Uélton turns to her, "I wish it 'cause would make it a lot easier. For example, we could get married in the Church. You just need to cross the aisle in an exuberant wedding dress." The couple embrace. Flavia is moved. "Awn, Uélton... how cute. Well, if we can't afford a religious ceremony, then we'll settle for that civil wedding." "Are you sure you're happy? I promised your father I'd give you the best of this life." Flavia responds romantically, "You've already given the best there is in this world: you, your love." The two kiss. And to think that before Flavia just

In the presidential room at Rocha Constructions, Tiago enters to pass the message on to Josias. Shirley is serving fennel tea. "The tea tastes great, Shirley, congratulations." Shirley smiles, "It's great to know I'm useful to the company." She turns to Tiago, "Hello, Mr. Bento. How's your little brother doing?" Tiago notices the strange atmosphere. Josias frowns. "Shirley, don't be bothered by Igor's anger. He's going to meet another girl in the capital." Tiago assures her. Shirley is defensive, "I still maintain that the accusation that my son Daryl is wanting to sleep with that girl, Stacy, is false. In fact, I was informed by him that she unexpectedly resigned and fled to the capital." Josias and Tiago widen their eyes. Damn it! What if Igor and Stacy bump into each other there? Shirley also notices the indiscretion, "Crap! Will I get fired for this, Mr. Rocha?" Josias quickly gives a comforting smile, "No, Shirley,

At Rocha Constructions, João Paulo is annoyed at having to tell Josias how badly their parents behaved. But Josias is willing to hear the truth.Josias notices the awkward silence, "Did they behave that badly?"João Paulo clears his throat, "Josias, I don't want you to have a bad opinion of our mother."Josias asks smartly, "But we already have our father, huh?"João Paulo looks down angrily, "I'm glad he's not your biological father. I worry if I'll behave the same way in the future."Josias refuses to think about it. Never!"John, you're already fifteen. If you still don't behave like an idiot, then you took after Mom."João Paulo distressedly responds, "But our mother also behaved badly. She offended Isabel Freire's family. I didn't hear the details, but when I approached them, they were very uncomfortable."Josias answers the question, "Vernon came here accusing someone from the Happiness Slum of
