In “Cocoa,” Tomani (Salvador Neri) is amazed by Soraya (Paola Neves) and tells her that he kept the diamonds he received from Simone (Alexandra Lencaster) to protect the future of the children he plans to have with him. They end up kissing passionately. Simone walks in from behind with a relaxed air, and they both look at her in confusion.
Tomani stands up to Simone and tells her not to tell her that she is entitled to Justino's (Antonio Capello) inheritance because she is still a suspect in his death. Simon ignores him carelessly. Toumani tells Soraya that Simone has something up her sleeve to get back to him. He calls Salomao (Paulo Pires) to tell him that Simone has just shown up at the palace.
Simon is surprised to find Marlene (Leonor Seixas) living there. He immediately tells her that he doesn't need her for anything because he doesn't find her trustworthy. Soraya smiles when she hears that. Sal (Carolina Amaral) enters the room, looks at Simone in shock, and calmly tells her that she is here to stay. Simone confesses to Sal that she came back because Regina's (Kristin Fernandez) baby died, and he makes a joke out of the situation. Sal asks her seriously if he also sees her as an obstacle to her entitlement to a larger inheritance in Justino's fortune. Simone assures Sal that she won't be able to hurt her, and won't hold back from slapping her daughter to tell her she doesn't need her at all and that she can disappear forever. Simone looks at her very disappointed.
Soraya and Marilyn smile, amused by Simone and Sal's argument, and appear frightened as they begin to hear Simone smash everything she sees in front of her.
