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
Katherine is talking to her father on the phone. It's amazing that even with so many fights and arguments, they still talk to each other again as if nothing had happened.“Dad, I need your help,” Katherine speaks.“Will my dear daughter finally return here?” Ephraim speaks eagerly.“No, you don't accept my grandson.” Katherine pouts.“The connection is bad, daughter.” Ephraim fakes this lie as a pretext for hanging up.Katherine doesn't fall for it, “Stop the show, Dad! I need money to shut up Frederick. You know his parents, Nathanael and Maria.”Ephraim gets angry, “Daughter, Josias Rocha said that if I touch this boy's parents, he will ruin me. I'm improving my business, this year's wheat and coffee crop is exceeding my expectations... I can't mess my farm!”Katherine snorts, “Okay, I get it. Just send me money so I can bribe Fred. In other words, buy him something he won't refuse.”“Why do you need this?”“He found out I'm sleeping with Jock.”“WHAT?” Ephraim exclaims indignantly,
Josias feels awkward to find Elza and Vernon on the lounge doorstep as if they were hiding from the others. On top of that, Vernon had his notepad in his hand like every journalist.“Son, we saw you were arguing and we didn't want to interrupt.” Elza invents this excuse to save her husband.Josias approaches them, “Don't be afraid, you don't bother. On the contrary, glad you came.”However, Cristina doesn't agree, “Wait, you guys got bothered with me but are you going to let them in? Did you forget that it was this gentleman who started the whole mess by making the report denouncing William and the call girls?”Vernon tucks the notepad into the pocket of his dress shirt, “Madam, it was William who initiated the gratuitous offense to my wife when she went to visit her son at Rocha Constructions.”Simeon takes the floor, “Never mind, sir, your action only made things worse!”Vernon turns to Simeon, “And why didn't you know how to educate your son? He's been a pain in the ass since 1991.
Dr. Braggart is a little suspenseful but decides to reveal the result of William's health.“Mr. and Mrs. Campos... since you left there hasn't been any brain bleeds on William.”Simeon and Dora hug each other, very emotionally.“Thank God, doctor! Thank you.” Dora exclaims.“I am glad to have brought good news.” Braggart smiles, “However, I would like to keep William one more day with us for observation.”“He is in a coma?” Simeon asks.“No, he's just sleeping on medication. Today we don't apply anything, so he can wake up anytime.”“Then let's stay here.” Simeon states. Dora nods with him.Vernon approaches and finds the environment more relieved.“By your bright smiles, everything was fine.”The Campos couple turns to the unexpected visitor.“Vernon, glad you came.” Dora blurts out, “Where's Elza?”“My dear wife sent you good vibes, she has no grudges.” Vernon smiles like a shark. He looks at the windowpane, “Oh, he's still sleeping.”Finally, Simeon looks at the notepad, “And what
Pamela is terrified to realize that it was Beto who told William that Rosemary is Jeremiah's daughter and not his. Now he wants to talk about the same subject...But Pamela can't push her luck and send Beto to the hospital with head trauma. Everyone would suspect... especially Miguel.So Pamela makes a decision: she hangs up on Beto and runs upstairs to the master suite.“Lilian, are my bags ready?” she asks hysterically.Lilian has two suitcases open on the bed and carefully puts on the chicest dresses, “I'm putting on your evening gowns, madam.”“Let me finish packing everything. Get off and call to order a taxi.”“But now, ma'am?”“Exactly. Beto's call advanced our plans. Move!”Lilian obeys and leaves the master suite. For her part, Pamela grabs more clothes and stuffs them carelessly into her bags, with extreme urgency to escape.******At General Hospital, Melissa shows up to visit William. Simeon and Dora enter the lounge with her.“Daughter, something bizarre is happening.” Si
Simeon, Dora, and Melissa wait in Will's room. The young man continues to sleep peacefully.“I'm glad to hear he's okay.” Dora comments emotionally, “I think we should call the others.”“Try Adolfo's house and Rocha Constructions,” Simeon suggests.Dora wrinkles her nose, “Argh... Adolfo will have to move out of Teodoro's building. I can’t see Cristina as a friend anymore.”Melissa wonders, “Mom, do you think that would be wise?”“Daughter, I'm sure Cristina as a mother must have supported Pamela in this crazy idea. Why didn't she cut this idea out as soon as it was born? Why did she and Carmen try to justify it? And as embarrassing as Vernon is, he's right about one thing: why didn't Pamela file a police report against William? Wasn't she the victim?”Melissa nods, “You're right, Mom. As bizarre as it is to admit, Vernon will be able to help us.”Simeon's voice chokes, “If only our son behaved well... his hatred for Josias, his refusal to accept Kelvin, the call girls... Pamela saw t
