Beto and Vera are going to talk in the office. Beto closes the door for fear that someone will see his straying sister.“Is this shame of me?” Vera is always scoffing and joking, “Nobody will recognize me.”“As you noticed, today we’ll have a farewell party for Cristina and Moacyr.” Beto angrily responds, “They're leaving for Victoria because Moacyr needs specialist treatment, and to stop Pamela from returning here. The ironic thing is that I asked them to look for you!”“And why did you want to look for me?” Vera smiles.Beto punches the desk, “Stop delaying, Vera! I know very well why you came back!”Vera discards the mocking posture and takes a deep breath. When she speaks again, it's Vera's tone from before, “Yes, Beto. As seen, you already understood. I am aware that Wally is out of jail and is here.”Beto grabs his hair in despair, “It's not possible, Vera! The man is trying to live a normal life and is constantly being watched over by Josias and his parents! You won’t be able t
Josias is surprised to hear from Angela that she intends to leave town.“What's up? Everyone is leaving town.” He asks as if Angela is to blame for this.Angela shrugs, “Looks like Lagoon City isn't the dream city everyone thought.”“It is the city of dreams for the good citizen.” Josias pins her.“OK, since I'm not welcome, I'd better go.” Angela takes a deep breath and takes courage, “I want to know how our son is going to be.”Josias grieves, “Angela, David is missing you so much. If I tell him you're leaving, he'll want to go with you. He doesn't even know where Rio de Janeiro is. However, he created a mortal hatred of Gustavo Carvalho.”Angela seems to think a lot about the decision she's going to make, “I understand. So in that case, tell him I'm going alone.”Josias smiles slightly, “Angela, if you continue to take this Gustavo in tow, not only will I assume he's David's father, I'll cancel the alimony. Or, if you leave David with me and go with Gustavo to Rio, I'll get full cu
Beto and Teresa talk in Teodoro's office. The heir looks around the white enclosure and smiles. On top of the closet, the small portable TV that Teodoro used in the 80s was there, stored.Then he turns to Teresa, “OK, Tess. Tell me what is bothering you.”Teresa takes a deep breath, “Mr. Reis, you better fire me at once.”“I will decide if this is necessary,” Beto responds seriously.“This morning the postman showed up. I was busy with Pedro and asked Rosemary to see him. She took the letters and proceeded to check them. Then...”Teresa takes Pamela's letter from her jeans pocket and hands it to Beto, “Rosemary saw the letter and put it in her lunch box. I didn't discover it until lunchtime.”Beto picks up the letter as if it were a used piece of toilet paper, “And my daughter certainly read it hidden at school.”“I don't know why she did it!” Teresa frets, “Does she know that Pamela is forbidden to keep in touch, but the longing spoke louder?”“Only if she overheard one of our conver
Beto decides to take Wallace to the restrooms for a private conversation. The office door was closed, indicating that Josias and Tiago were still inside.As he walked down the hall, Wallace saw the door to the old apartment where he and Pamela lived. Chills ran through his body.“How different the building is.” Wallace tries to calm down, “I remember there was a huge crack here.”Beto smiles, “Josias bought the building, tore it down completely, and had another built from scratch. Even though we have the bathroom here, now every apartment and kitchenette has yours.”“Look, so if I ever want to come here, I won't be afraid of any girl going into the wrong bathroom.”Beto breaks his smile, “Wallace, don't move here. I called you to let you know that my damn sister knows you got out of jail and back to town.”Wallace turns pale and feels his heart beat faster.“I know, I was really upset too.” Beto continues, “She showed up here looking like a nun, disguised so she wouldn't be recognized
Josias is quite concerned about Pamela's attempt to win Rosemary's heart just to get revenge on Beto. He meditates on this as he eats his slice of cake. The radio is now playing “Fast Love” by George Michael.Melissa approaches him, “Josias, why aren't you having fun?”Josias wakes up from his reverie, “Melissa, you better join your family. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude.”Melissa doesn't take offense, “You're not rude, Josias. I just want to help you as a friend.”But Daryl comes out of nowhere and grabs Melissa's shoulders, “Sister-in-law, Kelvin is looking for you. Your mother wants to take a picture with the Barbosa couple.”Melissa is slightly embarrassed, “OK, let's go.”Josias has a slight suspicion that Daryl snatched Melissa on purpose. What is he afraid of?He observes Cristina and Moacyr taking pictures to remember their friends. Melissa, Kelvin, Alan, Caroline, Simeon, and Dora smile, and Daryl snaps the picture.Katherine approaches her boyfriend, “What's up, honey? Are y
Bernardo appears running at the police station, parking in a forbidden place, and running like a madman to Amoreira's office. Cops try to stop him.“Hey sir, can we help you with something?”“Get outta my way, it's an emergency!” Bernardo exclaims wildly.Upon arriving at the office, panting and sweating......Amoreira is calmly reading Maggiezine!Bernardo snatches the detective's magazine and throws it away, “Detective! What stupidity is that? Did you pull me out of my leisure to find you all slack and good-natured?”Amoreira is not shaken by the businessman's outburst and gets up, “Take it easy, Mr. Marçal. You must be alive and in good health to bear what I say.”Bernardo's body reacts in reverse: tachycardia and cold sweat are part of him, “Say it soon! In other words, you don't even have to tell me. You found out that Shirley spoke the truth.”Amoreira raises his eyebrows as if in front of a fool, “What did you say? No, sir, it’s the other way around!”Bernardo gapes, “Can you r
On Thursday, Josias is in front of Angela and the lawyer Lourenço Ribeiro. Lourenço is representing Josias to confirm and legalize the joint custody of David between him and his biological mother.“Angela, didn’t you bring your lawyer?” Josias asks worriedly.Angela just smiles, “No, I didn't. I trust that you will make the best proposals for the benefit of our son.”Lourenço shrugs, “Well, if you both agree... we can start whenever you want, Mr. Rocha."Josias leans back in his chair and responds in a sovereign tone, “I am willing to continue to recognize David Sousa Rocha as my legitimate son and to pay child support until he reaches the age of majority. I allow my son David to live with his mother. If my ex-fiancée gets involved with another man, I must be notified. If there is any friction between my son and another man, David will return to me and live with me. I don't want this ‘stepfather mistreating stepson’ thing to happen to my son.”Angela smiles lightly, “I assure you, Jos
Beto and Teresa decide to cautiously tell Rosemary what is happening.“Rosemary, we are very angry about what your mother did.” Beto patiently explains, “Therefore, we want you to be spared our grief.”“Why can't Mom talk to me? Does she hate me too?” Rosemary asks not understanding.“No, I don't think she hates you.” Not even Beto could answer that. Why is Pamela so eager to talk to Rosemary? Maternal love or desire to annoy Beto?“It’s because we don't want you to get hurt.” Teresa helps her boyfriend, “For example, in the letter, she talks about wanting you to live with her without Pedro. Do you want to separate from your little brother?”“No, I don’t want.” Rosemary wiggles, “Mom could come back if she wants to be with me.”“Exactly, daughter.” Beto smiles, “Your grandmother is in Victoria to talk to her and make her understand.”“OK.”“And the next time you get a letter, give it to us,” Teresa remembers this detail.Rosemary nods, and calmer, she continues to eat breakfast.*****
