The next day, Alan wakes up in one of the rooms at Rocha Mansion.He is irritable and angry. It wasn't what he wanted. He likes to visit the mansion to play with J.J., but to live in?His mother and sister are across town, and he's not very close with Katherine. He remembers how Katherine got into the Rocha family's lives, causing his parents’ divorce.The door opens and Katherine appears, “Alan? Good morning, young man. Breakfast is ready?”“O really?” He smiles wryly, “I thought I'd have to help with something.”Katherine gets awkward, “You know we have servants and cooks for that, Alan.”“Yes, I forget. In the Mountain Penthouse, we did everything together.” Alan responds in a defiant posture.“Unfortunately, for now, you won't be doing that here, so get used to it. We’ll wait for you.” Katherine loses her temper and slams the door shut.Alan smiles victoriously, “Bitch. You destroyed my mother's marriage and now you are posing as a respectable lady.”Alan gets up, touching the bla
In the days that followed, viewers of 'Sweet Love' learned that Gabriele, Veronica's character, has been diagnosed with cancer and has little time to live. That was Melissa's solution to explain the character's exit.Viewership doubled in size, and LCN once again lamented the loss of talent that turned the drama into profit for the network's pockets.Daniel was tasked with training the remaining actors to, who knows, find a gem in the rough and polish it so that she or he becomes the next LCN sensation.Meanwhile, Isabel remained at an impasse. She was talking to Melissa in her office about it. Melissa's printer was printing the next episode's script.“And what will happen to the character of Jack?” Isabel asks.“He will travel the world as a backpacker.” Melissa responds with a slight smile, arranging the printed sheets, “I hope my soap opera continues next year.”“God and Everaldo hear you.” Isabel smiles kindly, “In the meantime, I am begging the Board to let 'Love Spins the World'
Josias enters Alan's room and is surprised by the mess. The sheets are unfolded, the bed is unmade, there are cookie crumbs on the floor, cans of soda smell bad, and posters of half-naked women on one of the walls.Alan has his back to his father dancing to 'Nice Guys Finish Last' by Green Day. But Josias reaches for the portable radio and firmly turns it off.With the sound cut off, Alan turns around and finds whoever turned off the radio, “Hey Dad, I was listening.”Josias rips off the indecent posters, “Who or how did you get this pornographic crap?”Alan smirks lewdly, “One of my classmates is the son of a newsstand owner.”Josias rips the posters to shreds, “These things are forbidden in my mansion, understood? Don't offend Kate, don't pollute your little brother's mind!”Alan sneers at his father, “Are you mentioning Kate? Who says she wasn't like one of those girls before she met you?”Josias doesn't let himself be taken in by the provocation, “Young man, I've heard a lot of co
A few days passed, enough for Octavio and Jane to return from their honeymoon.Elza and Vernon welcomed the couple at the Rocha Hotel with effusiveness.“Own, my fake daughter...” Elza exclaimed as she hugged Jane, “You must have had fun, I hope.”“Oh, we sure had fun.” Jane blinks.Vernon asks Octavio, “Did any of my photographers reach you in Guarujá?”“I hope not.” Octavio chuckles.Jane breaks the hug and goes back to being the efficient secretary, “OK, let's stop the fun. Mrs. Queiroz, what are the tasks—”Elza makes a face and gestures frantically, “Hey, hey, HEY! What is that? Who said you came to work as a secretary?”Jane is stunned, “Ehr... did I get fired during my honeymoon?”Elza smiles at her, “No, my dear. You got a better job, that's what!”“I don't understand...”Vernon breaks the news, “Jane Motta, you are now the maid manager at the Rocha Hotel! Mrs. Rosalez retired. What do you think?”Jane is pleasantly awestruck. She turns to her husband as if asking permission a
Isabel celebrates LCN's decision regarding her book at Café Montanha. Francisco is obviously very happy for her. The radio fills the cafeteria with “Mujer Latina”, a song by Thalía.“Oh dear, I have never been so happy in my life!” Isabel vibrates, “And you?”Francisco kisses his girlfriend's cheek, “I'm really happy, Izzy. You deserve.”“You know, I thanked Daniel a lot.” Isabel sits down, “He went out of his way to convince the board to respect my decision.”Melissa listens to this but has her doubts. Such a thing could easily be arranged by Josias...Alan walks into the cafeteria wearing his school uniform, “Hello, Mom!”“Alan? What are you doing here? Shouldn't Hector take you back to the manor?” Melissa is surprised.Alan chuckles, “It's so good to see you too, Mom.”Melissa smiles and hugs her son, “I missed you too. So, have you been behaving in the mansion with your father?”“We had an enlightening conversation.” Alan blinks.Isabel, with her back to Alan, hears this phrase an
The next day, Beto was able to visit William at his house. But he almost fails again. The radio was playing “All Around the World” by Oasis, and Caio was still vacuuming the living room rug.When Beto decided to try one last time to knock on the door, Caio turned off the domestic appliance and managed to hear the knocking.Opening the door, he smiles, “Mr. Reis! Come in, my father is in the kitchen.”“You should have someone to do this.” Beto comments jokingly, “What missing does a Mrs. William Campos have.”“I'm used to it. My Dad...”Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking is heard coming from the kitchen.“What the h—”“Dad, we have a visitor!” Caio shouts to warn him.“Excuse me.” Beto enters the house and goes to the kitchen.William has difficulty doing dishes with limited mobility. He tries to crouch down, but the pain is excruciating.“Let me do it!” Beto arrives in time. He takes a broom and dustpan.“Beto, don't be silly. You are the visitor, you cannot do my chores.” William
Daryl notices how stunned Kelvin is by his question and takes offense, “Hey, I didn't ask such a stupid question.”“Actually, you asked.” Kelvin shakes his head, “You still don't get it? Octavio thought, as did Diane, that you just showed up that day to gossip against Alan!”Daryl finally understands. But something Kelvin said caught his attention, “Did you say... as did Diane'?”Kelvin smiles wryly, “And you know what? For a moment I thought about it too. Daryl, you've been such a nuisance with this talk that Melissa and I should focus on the twins and discard Alan and Caroline for being Josias's children. Afterward, Katherine appeared in the penthouse implying that Josias wasn’t going to pass the throne to Alan. Looks like you were the one who started the rumor!”“It wasn't me, it was that Katherine!” Daryl rages, “I won't take the blame for something like this, little bro. OK, now that I understand what happened, I need to meet with Octavio Motta—”But Kelvin frantically shakes his
Alan was delighted to see Cláudio Guzman interacting romantically with another woman. He was already thinking that...Simeon, however, was not very pleased, “Children, don't peek at these things!”Caroline covers her eyes like every decent little girl. J.J. shrugs, as he is not yet mentally old enough to understand these things. Only Alan has to struggle to get back to his grandfather.“Will I get a chick like that when I get old, Grandpa?”Simeon smiles at his eldest grandson, “Certainly, Alan. But remember, be like your father. None of that indecency among people. Your father always treated your mother like a lady. Have you ever had that conversation about... 'that'?”Simeon couldn't say the word 'sex' in front of the other grandchildren.Alan smiles and nods, “Kelvin filled me in.”Simeon got a little embarrassed. Kelvin?Meanwhile, Cláudio took the exuberant girl who was with him to a secluded corner of the beach. Simeon shook his head in disapproval, knowing full well what would
