In the penthouse living room, Melissa, Dora, and Elisa are putting new covers on the sofas. The covers are made of fine linen, chosen by Elisa. Caio is walking around the living room.Elisa comments about the boy, "This boy is growing up, how wonderful."Dora acts like every proud grandmother, "Do you remember when he was little?"Caio starts fiddling with a small bookcase.Melissa scolds him, "Caio, don't touch that!" She turns to Elisa, "Friend, thank you so much for helping with the covers."Elisa replies somewhat haughtily, "I am glad you are finally assuming your post as mistress of this home. So we need to make this space worthy of a lady."Dora is more and more excited. "Daughter, you will be the envy of Lagoon City! Imagine: your face appearing on all the newspaper and magazine covers, gossip columns, interviews being given in here, everyone seeing how beautiful and glamorous you are..."Melissa is encouraging herself: "Oh, Mo

Josias and Octavio enter the former's room in astonishment after Tiago and Igor's revealing conversation.Octavio asks while closing the door, "Could you imagine such a story?"Josias opens his desk drawer."Part of it is not news. We got the confirmation." He reaches for his wallet.Octavio continues: "Yes, they confirmed what is in the Public Archive. All that's left is for them to reveal to us why their parents were murdered."Josias closes the drawer with a certain thud. He faces Octavio seriously. "I think we'll leave that subject aside for now. There's too much going on in my head.""I see. There's the wedding and this business of your nephew staying with you."Josias sighs; another problem in the Campos family weighing on his shoulders."I've always rooted for William to succeed in sports. But a son changes everything. I really hope it's worth that sacrifice, and that Caio can understand when he's older."Octavio

Teodoro is lying in bed in his apartment, resting from lunch. The fan is on above him and he is shirtless to cool himself off. The radio is playing the song "Karma Karmelion" by Culture Club, and Teodoro moves his feet to the rhythm of the music. Angry knocks on the door take his peace away."I wonder who could it be at this hour?" He grumbles in dissatisfaction.He gets up, clumsily puts on a shirt, and heads for the living room. As he opens the door, Isabel and Cristina head inside."Hey, what is this invasion here?" Teodoro complains.Cristina answers ironically, "Invasion? You opened the door for us!"Teodoro is stunned. "But, first you should say 'good afternoon, may I come in?'"Isabel is more mocking and sarcastic: "May we come in?"Teodoro feels that the two ladies are mocking him. "Anyway, what is this urgent matter that can't wait?"Cristina acts as if she is in a soap opera. Her voice placement and facial gestures ma

Teodoro is about to have a heart attack with so many people pinning him to the wall because of Beto's libidinous conduct. Josias has no mercy and continues to question him."Until when will you tell me the truth?"Teodoro desperately replies, "What truth? All you care about is Beto going to jail for sexual abuse! When in fact these girls shamelessly throw themselves at him!"Josias shakes his head. "But, if that were the case, Beto should have the decency and the humility to refuse. But, it seems he enjoys having a different woman in his bed each day."Teodoro crosses his arms and his face turns red. "Josias, we've been through a lot together, let's not fight now over something that shouldn't even be your business! Isn't your wedding coming up?"Josias smiles devilishly, "Yes, and I want to know if I can keep the Reis family's invitation."Teodoro's face from red turns pale. "We won't be invited anymore because of this clowning around?"

At Josiah's house, Simeon appears quietly and sits down at the dining table. Dora begins to place the pans on the table."How was your day, honey?" she asks peacefully.Simeon, however, follows frowning, "Milton gave me a scolding. He thinks I should leave my kids free to do whatever they want, see if that's okay?"The pot of noodles is put on with a bang. Dora gets upset. "Would you prefer your children to behave eternally like children dependent on us?"Simeon chooses a dish and begins to serve himself. "No, I would like them to make their decisions based on common sense.""Common sense, in Will's case, was to stay in soccer. I always knew he would never be happy if he didn't do what he liked."Simeon does 'tsk' with his tongue. "He said he quit soccer because of his son. What happened? Isn't Caio more important to him?"At this moment William enters with Caio walking behind him."No, sonny, keep walking, your lap days are ov
