At Teodoro's building, Cristina and Moacyr are saying goodbye to Carmen, Pamela, and Diane. Beto is with them. The radio is playing “Felicità” by Lucio Dalla.“Have a safe trip, Mom.” Carmen hugs her, “Seu Moacyr, take good care of her.”“She is the one who will take care of me.” Moacyr jokes.Cristina positions herself behind the wheelchair, “We're going to have a lot of fun. I'll be back later with the photos.”“God be with you!” Pamela waves goodbye.Cristina turns to Diane, “And remember, niece: don't hesitate to ask Beto for help. He knows everything that goes on in this building and will help you as best as he can.”Beto smiles enigmatically at Diane and Pamela notices it.After more goodbyes, the happy couple heads to the waiting taxi.Carmen turns to her cousin, “Remember, Diane, everything was paid for by my husband.”“Thank you, cousin.” Diane nods, “Your mother and my uncle were silently disheartened that they couldn't enjoy their honeymoon.”“I can't believe that reckless
In Teodoro's building, Beto is dissatisfied with the knowledge that Diane is dating Daryl. Pamela notices her ex-husband's jealousy and tries to understand him.“What is it, dear?” She questions him as she breaks the hug, “Something against my cousin dating Daryl Mountain?”Beto shakes his head thinking that no one has noticed, “There's nothing wrong. Diane is an adult and knows what she does.”“Jeez, it feels like I'm entering the drug underworld!” Diane mocks.Carmen senses the awkwardness, “Guys, let's discuss the progress of this place and not personal matters. I need to go to the company as soon as possible.”“Go, Carmen. I have the day off.” Pamela offers herself.“Of course, you have every day free to do nothing!” Beto growls.Diane is bothered by the barbs thrown between the ex-couple. She abruptly pulls out the cash drawer and collects some bills, “I'm going to the grocery store to buy some vegetables for lunch. Excuse me!”“I'll accompany you, Diane. Bye, Pam!”Pamela waves
Beto and Pamela kill the longing with a warm and desirable kiss. Pamela wanted to slap her ex-husband but surrendered to the heat of the moment.After long seconds, they separate, gasping and short of air.“It looks like you still love me,” Beto comments suggestively.Pamela remembers Miguel and tries to correct herself, “Lie! I love my husband Miguel. You were the one who kissed me by surprise!”Beto approaches her like a lynx about to pounce, “And we can continue in some empty room here!”“Never! How am I going to appear in the media as the respectable lady of Lagoon City if I cheat on my husband?”Beto does 'pffff' and responds amusedly, “Pam, when everyone knows about your promiscuous past, no one will look at you as a high society lady. Forget this crazy thing about defeating Melissa Campos!”Pamela's blood boils, “No way! I need to take advantage of her being dethroned to take her place!”“Are you sure Melissa lost relevance?” Beto touches on Pamela's weak point.Pamela sourly r
Diane returns from the grocery store with vegetables for lunch. She finds the lobby empty and the radio playing “Lately” by Jodeci. “Is Pamela already gone? She said she would help me.” Diane heads to the cafeteria to prepare lunch. It's only when the pots are on the stove that Pamela reappears weary and panting as if she's been running a marathon. Diane had no idea that Pamela and Beto were mating like dogs. “Pam! Where were you? I thought you were gone.” Pamela draws in a breath, “I was strolling through the building. I had never seen the reconstructed site up close. When I lived here, there was a communal bathroom here on the first floor.” “Thank God this is in the past.” Diane smiles, “Now every tenant has their own bathroom. Can you help me serve the dishes?” “Yes, let’s feed the tenants. Beto decided to stay in the lobby.” Pamela responds quickly and Diane doesn't notice her guilty tone. ****** Uélton goes to Rocha Hotel. William surprises him by arriving quite late. “W
The next day, Shirley is serving breakfast to the kids. The radio is playing "I Don't Wanna Fight" by Tina Turner.Daryl starts the conversation as if he were motivated by the song, “Mom, you owe Maggie forgiveness.”Shirley sits at the table, “The one who should apologize is Maggie for pushing me. Imagine if I hit my head on the stool? I could have gone to the hospital.”“But you were the one who started this story about Maggie getting pregnant with another guy.” Kelvin reminds her.“If she continues to be friends with Pamela Damascene, that's what will happen.” Shirley snorts.“Let's forget about that lady.” Daryl takes his mother's hand, “Mom, you need to have a good conversation with your daughter. If she does get pregnant, will you reject your grandson?”“I won’t be cruel to the child. I will know how to separate things.” Shirley shrugs.Kelvin and Daryl give up. They don't want to spoil another morning with arguments.******At Adolfo's apartment, Benjamin talks about what happe
At Rocha Constructions, Uélton is complaining about William's attitude towards Josias. The friend wasted no time in seeking justice.“Josias, I know that at certain times we will have to behave like a boss and an employee.” Uélton sits in the visitors' seat, “But William doesn't have the right to humiliate me in front of countless workers!”Josias leans back in the presidential chair, “What did my ex-brother-in-law do?”“I had to save my mother's career and visited the office of the dramaturgy director at LCN.” Uélton explains simply, bluntly, “And I did it. Wouldn't you do anything to save your mother?”Josias smiles slightly, “Absolutely.”“Well, when I was happy to do something useful in this world, here comes William wanting to get satisfaction as if I were a mere intern! He wasn't like that when Jock punched my father-in-law.”Josias nods, understanding the situation: William was rude to Uélton because he is Josias's best friend.“Uélton, don't worry about it. We know that you ar
Vernon pays the heaviest shame by crying out at the top of his lungs like a possessed man in the halls of LCN. Elza pretends she doesn't know her husband and tiptoes away.“What are you looking at? Get lost, move around! Mind your own business, you idiots!”“Who gave you the freedom to talk to us like that?” Melissa crosses her arms, “Did you drink, Vernon?”“You are the one who is drunk when you say that Isabel Freire will be your successor. A slum dweller cannot be on the cover of Maggiezine.” Vernon speaks venomously.“It turns out that Isabel no longer lives in the favela,” Melissa informs him.“That for me is the least. She will never be someone noble like my wife.”“Besides, where is she?”Everyone turns around and realizes that Elza had escaped, dying of shame.Melissa smirks at Vernon and the nut walks away with everyone laughing behind him.Flavia approaches, “Did I miss something?”“You missed your cousin humiliating Josias's stepfather.” Melissa responds with a smugy smile,
Lilian is already abusing Pamela's generosity by calling Rocha Constructions without permission. On the other side, Ernesto talks to her in Josias's office.“Honey, I've already been hired!” Lilian speaks quickly, fearing she'll get caught, “Isn't that exciting?”Ernesto smiles, “Really, it's really exciting.”“And the slut promised to pay me twice as much as Melissa! Should I lie about how much Melissa paid me to cheat on Pamela?”“Of course, darling!” Ernesto laughs, “Tell your stupid lady boss that Melissa paid you R$250.00 a month so she would pay you R$500.00!”Lilian smiles evilly, “That's right. I need to hang up to learn about Damascene House. She is big!”“Good luck, sweetheart!” Ernesto says goodbye to his wife and hangs up.Coincidentally, Lilian hangs up before Pamela approaches her with Maggie. The mistress did not notice the maid's indiscretion.“Lilian, serve two coffees with cream and mint in my office.”“Does the cook know how to make that kind of coffee— yes ma'am, e
