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
Elza is afraid to pass the call on to Melissa.“Seu Everaldo, this is Josias Rocha's mother. You prophesied a wonderful future for my son, and I am eternally grateful. But when you say that my boy will cause Kelvin Mountain's displeasure... I like Melissa and would like her to remain my daughter-in-law, but she is determined to marry the other young man.”Everaldo listens patiently and then responds, “I understand perfectly, Mrs. Queiroz. However, I have known your son since 1980, and I guarantee you that he won’t be as happy with another woman as he was with Melissa Campos. When I said that the two of them would be happy at the end of 1994, I thought it was clear that this did not include the intruders.”Elza pales, “And what will happen if Kelvin marries Melissa? Will he die? Will God punish him?”Maggie accidentally comes up from behind and overhears the conversation. She becomes apprehensive and covers her mouth with both hands.Everaldo chuckles, “Mrs. Queiroz, you should know th
At the same Church in Green Park, all the guests are crowding in for the big day.Diane is not sure if the location of the ceremony would not evoke bad memories in Cristina and Moacyr, especially when Tiago drove by in the exact place where the accident took place.But Cristina and Moacyr were not disturbed. Both have wide smiles on their faces. Everyone loves Melissa and wishes the best for her.Josias parks his car and notices that Melissa has already arrived. She is probably waiting in some Church compartment. Francisco is standing next to the car talking to a volunteer gardener.“Mr. Mountain.” Josias greets him, “I believe Melissa is ready.”“Yes, and very happy.” Francisco smiles, “She got a call from that Everaldo saying that no one will be cursed.”Josias smiles, “That's good. I wanted to know this personally. Now it's up to me to be happy.”Only then does Francisco notice the absence of the “future” Mrs. Rocha, “Where is your bride?”“She didn't want to come,” Josias responds
All guests are present at Green Park Church. Shirley addresses Francisco but stops for a few seconds to admire her brother-in-law's elegant look. Francisco is wearing a gray vest under his tuxedo and has a small artificial flower in his pocket.Francisco also scrutinizes his sister-in-law and admires the brown, ankle-length, slightly belted dress. Shirley was wearing makeup in a style that made her look younger.“Did you consult makeup tips from your daughter’s magazine?” Francisco asks gallantly.“No way, it was your daughter who helped me.” Shirley comments without losing her temper, “If I were up to Maggie, I'd come here in rags.”“Well, let's think about Kelvin and Melissa's happiness today.” Francisco looks at the altar and observes the groom.“Frank, you can go up to the altar now, it's time.” Shirley points to the altar and walks away.She catches up to Simeon and Dora, “Mr. Campos, you can fetch your daughter.”Dora comments, “Shirley, you can call us by our first names.
