Shirley leaves Josias's room just as Harold and Isabel want to go in to talk to him.“Oh Shirley, people are looking for you to try that wonderful cookie you make,” Harold informs her.“They must be talking about Igor's farewell.” Shirley smiles slightly, “A good guy...”Shirley leaves and closes the door. Josias is interested in the visitors.“Mr. and Mrs. Freire.” He happily greets them, “How can I help you?”Harold excitedly announces, “Josias, the Cariacica penitentiary has contacted us. They want to release Wallace for good behavior. His sentence would end next year.”Josias had completely forgotten that Wallace was going to be free next year. He widens his eyes and a surprised print on his face, “Oh, God... I don't know what to say!”Isabel is beaming, “Well, say you're happy for us!”“I'm happy.” Josias scratches the back of his head, “All I care about is the rest of the family and Lagoon City.”Isabel wiggles, “Don’t bother. The two women who destroyed my son's life are in Vic
At night, Igor Bento's farewell party is about to begin.Tiago walks around the room decorated with a poster on the wall that says “Goodbye, Igor!”. The sofas were pushed into the corner and the kitchen table was moved to the middle of the living room. In it, a cake and various goodies are spread out for guests to serve themselves.The owner of the house turns on the radio and the song “This Ain’t a Love Song” by Bon Jovi brings the atmosphere to life.Carmen approaches with another platter of pecan cookies, “Not Shirley's cookies, but I think people will like it anyway.”Tiago smiles and hugs his wife from behind, “Thanks for the dedication.”“All for my brother-in-law's well-being.” Carmen sets the tray on the table, “He's going in search of happiness.”Tiago sighs, “He's going to reconnect with Stacy and maybe get married... while Marcelo remains behind bars.”“Sometimes I forget about your little brother.” Carmen breaks her smile, “Darling, isn't there any danger of Marcelo gettin
Uélton is disconcerted when Reuben inadvertently repeats the forbidden nickname. He crouches down and looks his son in the eye, “Reuben, when Uncle Wallace shows up, don't repeat the cursed nickname.”“Why?” Reuben asks innocently.“Because Uncle Wallace won't like it.” Uélton taps his head.“OK, I thought he liked it.” Reuben smiles at him.Uélton gets up. Flavia realizes that he still has more to say.“Reuben, wait for us outside.” She commands the child. After Reuben leaves, she adds, “It's not just because of the nickname that you're like this.”“Of course not, honey.” Uélton closes the living room window, “I worry how Wallace’s return will affect our son’s life.”Flavia smiles, “It won't affect negatively. Wallace has certainly learned from his mistakes, and the two wretched women are living in the capital.”Not knowing what is happening in the Chaves family, Uélton comments with an ironic smile, “Have you ever thought if Pamela returns with the lame excuse of wanting to see Rose
At Tiago's house, the party continues with the Freire family arriving. Igor receives Uélton, Flávia and Reuben.“Whoa, we have cake!” Reuben exclaims.“Son!” Flavia is embarrassed.Igor laughs, “Children's things, Flávia. I was agitated like that too. Come on, Reuben, there's chicken pie.”Flavia decides to accompany Reuben before he knocks over the table or something.Uélton shakes Igor's hand, “We're leaving too, buddy. We'll move to Green Park and be close to the old folks. My father can't wait to be close to his grandson.”“What about Wallace?” Igor asks respectfully.Uélton undoes some of the enthusiasm, “We still haven't talked deeply about my rehabilitated brother. For now, he will certainly live with my parents.”“You don't look very pleased to me.” Igor watches with the precision of a shrink.“I just want to know where this is all going.” Uélton forges a smile.The living room radio is playing “Can I Touch You... There?” by Michael Bolton. Josias is now talking to Vernon.“Da
Cristina, Moacyr, Diane, Adolfo, Vânia, and Benjamin are the next ones to enter Igor's farewell party. The Teixeira family felt that this could be their farewell party too.The radio was now playing “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan and the children were dancing in a corner of the room.Elza and Vernon were sitting on the sofa and enjoying their grandchildren's improvised steps.“They're cute, aren't they?” Vernon asks with a piece of the pie in his hand.“Yes, they will be the future of the nation.” Elza comments, “Ah, the Teixeira family has arrived.”“Honey, I want to take advantage of the fact that you mentioned Melissa's uncles to talk about Josias.” Vernon finishes eating the piece of pie so he doesn't get distracted.Elza turns and faces her husband, “Yes?”“He's mentally debating whether or not to marry Angela.” Vernon announces to her, “I told him categorically to discard that home wrecker.”Elza smiles slightly, “I agree too, but Josias always thinks of David.”“If th
Melissa and Kelvin's wedding day arrived.Angela is increasingly furious and stressed with the date that has arrived. In her paranoid mind, Josias will scream 'I object' in the 'Forever hold your peace' part and will snatch the bride from the altar, leaving Kelvin shattered.That's why she's trying to be as unpleasant as possible to discourage Josias. When they eat breakfast, she neighs, “What are we doing this Saturday, my love?”Josias sets the newspaper on the table and looks at the fiancée in bewilderment, “What did you say? We're going to Melissa and Kelvin's wedding.”“No, we will not.” Angela informs as she cuts the bacon, “I want to have a family day with you and David.”“What about J.J?” Josias points to the excluded son, who eats his cereal undisturbed.Angela drops the silverware noisily, “Darling, it's no use insisting. We’re not going to the wedding, period.”“I don't know about you, but I won't run away like a coward.” Josias takes a sip of his coffee and gives her a fir
At Shirley's apartment, she is ironing the white shirt for her darling son to wear to the wedding. Kelvin appears in her room, wearing black pants and no shirt, waiting for the garment to be ironed.“Is it over, Mom?” He takes a bottle of perfume from her dressing table and sprays some on his chest.“Almost, son. It has to be perfect, I don't want my son in wrinkled clothes.” Shirley responds proudly.Daryl approaches them, “Have you stopped fearing tragedy?”Shirley breaks her smile, “You guys better see if that William Campos is coming.”Shirley finishes ironing and turns off the iron. Kelvin approaches the ironing board and picks up his shirt to put it on.“I sincerely hope not.” Kelvin answers with a frown, “What do you have in mind, Mom?”“I'm afraid he'll show up with a revolver to shoot you,” Shirley responds in a shaky voice.Kelvin, however, giggles as he buttons his shirt, “That's not going to happen, Mom. God won’t allow that.”Daryl, frowning and worried about his younger
Josias and Uélton arrive at William's house. The radio is at such a high volume that visitors' eardrums burn.But the gentlemen persist and go inside the house. The entrance door was open.Inside, William is like a possessed man dancing to “It's a Beautiful Life”, a song from Ace of Base. William trips over the coffee table, but he doesn't mind his sore toes.Josias locates the stereo and turns it off, then thunders, “WILL! What do you think you are doing?”Uélton laughs, “I wish I had recorded this ridiculous dance! Are you training for a contest?”William is outraged at the intrusion of visitors, “No, I'm practicing your funeral dance!”Uélton stops laughing and in two steps he grabs the collar of William's shirt, “Repeat if you're a man!”Josias puts his right hand on his glabella, “Uélton, let go of my ex-brother-in-law.”Uélton releases William carelessly and he falls to the ground.“What do you want besides attacking me?” William neighs.“Will, we've been informed that Daryl Mou
