Pamela is beaming and bouncing in Teodoro's building, celebrating in advance what might happen at the conciliatory hearing. Cristina, Diane, and Moacyr don't know what to say to her.“And the radio, is it turned off today?” Pamela asks.Diane turns on the radio and Bruce Springsteen's song “Streets of Philadelphia” echoes through the lobby.“Isn’t that song from that movie where there’s a legal dispute?” Pamela asks good-naturedly, “Look at the coincidence!”Diane explains to her, “The main character sues the company that fired him after he found out he had AIDS. It's a strong film, but an excellent one to watch.”“And so shall I be: victorious with the judgment and having Caio close to his half-siblings.” Pamela laughs.Cristina doesn't know where to start, “Ehr... daughter, do you think William didn't look for any weak spots to attack you?”Pamela has a jolt, “Weak spot, me? No way, Mom, I have nothing to hide.”Christina takes a deep breath. Moacyr is suspicious.“Looks like they'r
Josias doesn't know how to react to the conversation with Miguel about Pamela's attempt to obtain full custody of Caio. He doesn’t like either Pamela or William...“Mr. Damascene, I can only wish you good luck. As far as I know, William has been a neglectful father and I feel bad for Caio. You know, I raised him since he was a newborn, I watched him babble his first words, I taught him to walk...”Miguel smiles mockingly, “In short: you were the father who raised Caio, while Will Campos was just the progenitor. I am aware that he has had a soccer career, but even with Pamela making mistakes in the past, there was no need for you to take that responsibility.”“Raising Caio enabled me to raise my children better.” Josias smiles.“You can rest assured that Pamela didn't hide her version from me.” Miguel states, “I know about the deal you made in 1982, I know about the confusion that occurred between her and Vera Reis, I know that she tried to marry a guy named Wallace Freire who is now i
Pamela is horrified when she hears the truth about Rosemary being Jeremiah's daughter after so many years. It was as if the truth could have been hidden and forgotten.But no: behold, the Truth arises again!William smiles victoriously at the impact his words had on his ex-lover.“By your astonished face, I'm telling the truth.”Pamela tries to buy time with lies, “Who told you this nonsense?”William is outraged, “What? Are you still going to deny it?”“WHO TOLD YOU?” Pamela screams at the top of her lungs.“That doesn't matter! What matters is that I know, and you just confirmed me with your reaction! How could you be so promiscuous and slutty, Pamela? And you still question why I took Caio from you in 1982?”“That was a plot I should never have been a part of!” Pamela yells in a shaky voice, “I was young and inexperienced...”“You were afraid of Wallace finding out the truth about Caio, that he was not Josias's son!” William reminds her, “That's why you took that deal. You were and
Dora is taking care of her grandchildren in the living room. Caroline plays with dolls while Alan and Caio are reading Spider-Man comics sitting on the couch. The radio is playing the song “Now and Forever” by Richard Marx.The landline rings and Dora answers, “Hello?”On the other side, a distressed Cristina is saying, “Dora, you need to be strong!”Dora feels shivers down her spine, “Cristina? What happened?”“Your son went to mistreat my daughter and she defended herself by hitting him on the head with the phone. William passed out and went to the hospital!”Dora feels her heart race, “What? Cristina, this story is badly told!”“I still don't know all the details, I'm just calling everyone I know! It was Lilian, Ernesto's wife, who warned me.”“But why did William go to bother Pamela? He was working at Ramos Supermarket!” Dora is desperate.The mention of William makes Caio stop reading the comics.“I'm going to Europe Garden. We need to know exactly what happened, we cannot suffer
At Crystal Blue, Daryl approaches Kelvin. The noon service is already ending.“Daryl, where have you been? Have you had lunch yet?” Kelvin asks worriedly.“I was in Teodoro's building.” Kelvin starts to smile, but Daryl cuts him off, “No, bro, nothing funny happened. They called there saying that Will Campos is in a coma in the hospital.”Kelvin is surprised, “What happened?”“From the information I got, Will had an affair with Pamela over that problem.”“Oh, damn, Melissa must need me!” Kelvin grieves.“She must not even know about it. Nobody knows how to contact her at LCN. Come on, little brother, I'll cover your post here.”“Service is already over.” Kelvin quickly strips off the tuxedo.Benjamin walks by and notices the brothers’ stress, “What's up, guys?”“Your cousin William is in the hospital, Ben.” Daryl responds, “Blow to the head by Pamela in self-defense.”“LIE!” Ben drops a platter, “Mr. Mountain, never, EVER believe a word that comes out of that whore’s mouth, do you hea
Jack returns home after shooting the commercial at the marketing agency. Ronaldo is on the couch watching TV, enjoying his retirement.“So, son, how was it? Are you still sane?”Jack smiles weakly, “Nothing wrong happened, Dad.”“How was the commercial?”Jack hesitated for a few seconds as to whether or not he responded, “Remember, Dad, I only performed a dummy job. Don't take the commercial too seriously, it's to promote the company your eldest son works for.”Ronaldo smiles warmly, “Then I will love and comment with my friends at the Seniors Club.”Jack has a Herculean effort to smile, “I think I'm going to take a shower and then leave.”“Go there.” The commercial ends and Ronaldo has his attention on TV.******Vernon visits the Rocha Hotel and finds Elza talking to the main kitchen chef.“Remember, you have the authority and duty to demand that your subordinates do their best for our hotel guests. We don't want to go out in the society columns serving the worst dishes.”“I underst
Jock Russo arrives at the apartment after a strenuous journey at the Rocha Mansion. Frederick is reading a sports magazine while the radio is playing "She's So Beautiful" by Double You.“Hello, Fred! How was your work day?” Jock sits on the couch and takes off his boot.Frederick is bothered by the foot-smearing, “It was interesting, to say the least. The future Mrs. Rocha called wanting to go to bed with you.”Jock has a start, “Angela Sousa?”“No, I'm talking about the deluded one.” Frederick laughs, “The one who was here last year screaming and begging you for mercy in front of my parents.”Jock smirks, “Um... I see. She wants to moan again, huh?”“That means Mr. Rocha continues to keep her in the fridge.” Frederick lectures, “And that the chosen one is the other, Miss Sousa.”“Okay, I'll call her. Or rather, I'll take a shower and appear in the penthouse.”Frederick is wary, “Are you sure, man? She's so anxious to keep it all a secret, that she even tried to buy my silence. How ar
Miguel enters his house satisfied with another day of work. From the foyer, he hears the song “Zombie” by The Cranberries.Rosemary approaches him, “Daddy Miguel, you're here!”“Hi, Rose!” Miguel hugs her as if she were his daughter, “Where is your mother?”“Mom has locked herself in her room screaming like crazy and doesn’t want to come out anymore,” Rosemary reports innocently.However, Miguel has a start. He thinks Pamela is locked in the master suite making love to another man.“Is your brother Peter here?”“He still is.”Miguel whistles in relief. Pamela is not in bed with Beto. Then...The owner of the Damascene house climbs the stairs and tries to enter the suite.“Honey, it's me! Open the door, what's going on?”A few seconds pass without Miguel having an answer. He knocks insistently, “PAMELA!”Unexpectedly, Pamela opens the door. She had just showered and was dressed in clean, casual clothes. Her hair still smelled of shampoo.“Hey, darling! Why did you knock with desperatio
