Cacau kisses Tiago, but they are interrupted | Cocoa

In this episode

Tiago tells Cacau he knows of a way to help her remember more things by kissing her impetuously.

Marco and Regina have already outlined a plan to gradually tell Cacau the things they know about her, agreeing to start by telling her about Justino being her father. Regina tells Marco that they have to take advantage of Cacau’s amnesia to pretend that he was also involved with her in the past so that he can say that Marquinho is his son and definitively keep Tiago away from her.

Tiago tells Cacau that she is the woman of his life and he just needs to know if she really likes him, promising to stay away if she doesn’t want to be with him. Marco and Regina interrupt the moment and Tiago comes out to warn Regina that she will regret it if she is helping Marco. Marco goes after him furiously and confronts him and warns him to stay away from Cacau.

Salomão says he is serious about killing Júlia, saying that in any case she has been dead for a long time and that in the end he would share Júlia’s money with her. Lalá ends up accepting the challenge.

Sal and Simone enter the modest guesthouse room. Simone continues to complain about everything, telling Sal that she doesn’t even want to take a shower because she thinks there shouldn’t even be hot water, climbing onto the top bunk bed.

Cacau tells Regina and Marco that he barely had time to talk to Tiago, but confirmed that they already knew each other. Marco and Regina say that they too are part of her past. Cocoa looks at them in surprise.

Soraia smiles, satisfied with Lola telling her that Quim is coming to Portugal tomorrow, weakened by Lola warning that he is coming with Filó, as a sign of still being with her.

Tomané convinces Justino that they should make a press release about Cacau having appeared. Martim, arriving with Sal and Simone’s bags, tells Justino that he needs to talk to him about them.

Vitória assures Júlia that it will not be difficult for her to obtain a divorce from Salomão if they prove that there was psychological abuse. Júlia, noticing that Vitória is not well, invites her to have a drink.

Cacau is in shock with everything that has happened in his life that he didn’t know yet. Regina tells Cacau that it was she who involuntarily decided that the best thing to have a peaceful pregnancy would be to forget the past. Cacau again mentions that he thinks Tiago in any case has the right to know that he had her child.

Justino is worried because Martim has already told him about the difficulties that Sal and Simone are going through after he kicked them out of the house. Martim tells him he thinks Sal seemed to have a different attitude.

Cacau explains that he only remembers being involved with Tiago, and he could only be the father of his child. Marco tells Cacau that he is very disappointed in her because she doesn’t remember what they had before, leaving. Cocoa is shaken while Regina smiles discreetly because everything is going as expected.

Vitória and Júlia smile more relieved because they have already talked about the betrayals they suffered. Júlia states that although she has no proof of anything, she is certain that Salomão was not faithful to her. Vitória is stunned that Júlia assumes that Salomão was the only man in her life, saying that she will take her to her doctor so that she can regain the sexual desire she lost.

Justino can’t help but be worried about Sal and Simone, despite all the harm they did to him, because Martim and Lola warned him that they are at serious risk because they don’t know how to survive alone. Justino looks hesitantly at the phone number that Martim gives him in case he decides to help them.

Regina tells Cacau that she and Marco have plausible reasons for not wanting Tiago around her because he has already proven that he cannot be trusted and has taken advantage of her in the past. Cacau is shocked to remember now that Tiago lied to her about her parents’ history.

Regina tells Cacau that there are even more things that she may never remember.
Guto and Pitty agree that they have to do something as they have already realized that Cacau is being manipulated by Regina and Marco.
