[bunniefuu]

Psst!

Don't get your hopes up, okay? It
was Carol that sent me here with this.

I'm just being polite.

Hey, don't you have a rehearsal
with the cheerleader today?

Um...

Are you monitoring my
time or is it just jealousy?

Oh, Valentina, please, I'm too busy
to waste time with jealousy of you.

Um!

Actually, we broke up.

Yeah, right? It must be very
hard to date someone like you.

Seriously now, Valentina,
what are you doing here, huh?

Why are you helping my
parents? Is it a charity of sorts?

So, now you want to do
spiritual therapy with gardening,

you're not even dressed for it, Valentina.

Look at the coat you're wearing.
You'll get your fingernails dirty.

Tell me what you really want, Valentina.

You came all this way... I want you, Luiza!

I want you. I've been
in love with you since

the first time I bumped
into you in college.

And I know that sometimes I'm a jerk.

But I just can't help myself,

when I see you and I make
you mad, you get very...

Luiza, won't you say something?

Ahh, now you're going to see it.

Oh, you think so?

Stop, Valentina!

Stop! Stop!

EPISODE 5: DEVELOPMENT

You're sneaky, Valentina.

And you're so tempting.

Why did I kiss you that
day in my garden, huh?

No need to blame yourself.
I know it's all my fault!

I know that the truth
is that I'm irresistible!

And thank you for finally admitting
that it was you who kissed me that day.

You're still stupid!

Hmm, but you had never admitted
that it was you who kissed me first.

Who me?! Mmm!

I'll deny it to the death, you see.

Léo, you can't go up there!

Go, Duda! Go, Duda! Go, Duda!

Do I look good?

Hurry up, my love!

Where is it, dad? You're taking too long.

Friend, look, I'm sorry but
you got the wrong answer.

Geez! Go! Go! Go!

Oh, it looks nice! Awe!
It's cute. Come on, next!

Let me see...this one here!

Hey, Duda! Duda, no peeking.
Guys, don't let her see the gift!

Come on! Hurry up, guess
it, friend! Guess! Guess!

Okay! I guess it's...a set
of dishes with utensils?

You missed that big time!

My turn! Come on!

Make it great, okay? Always!

Oh, my God, guys! I'm
going to record it, okay?

What's she doing? You're going
to like it! You're going to like it!

Tell me, guys!

You look awesome!

Come on, take a picture of us together!

Get another one! Get another one!

It's heavy! You need to
get this right this time, huh?

I think no one will bother us here.

Take a seat, please. Thank you.

But tell me, Luiza. How is she?

We spoke recently. I
thought she was so distant.

I noticed how she was impacted by
the stages of your recovery process.

So, tell me the truth, Luiza.
Is she really doing better?

She is indeed getting
better every day, Catarina.

We talk a lot about the
phases of our process.

And I believe that more and more
she is accepting the idea of therapy.

Seriously? Mmm!

Valentina has always
been extremely stubborn.

She tends to carry the world
on her shoulders, you know?

And refusing to ask for help from anyone.

Yeah, Valentina is stubborn for sure.

But I think if you know how to talk to her,

it gets easier.

You've always handled her
better than I have, her own mother.

You know that after we became
closer, I also grew closer to her.

Wow, I confess that I
thought you didn't...like me.

We have talked so much
over the years, Luiza.

There was this one time when
you...you even comforted me.

You came to support me because I had...

I was in tears after I had
an argument with Valentina.

And that's where a friendship
started. We talked for hours!

And I saw how much you cherish family.

That's when we started
this friendship. We got closer.

Despite your lack of support
after she dropped out of law school

to pursue this photography venture.

Catarina, move on.

Look at the amazing photographer, the
exceptional professional that Valentina is.

Sometimes we need to let
go of how we wish things were,

in order to truly experience
them as they are.

It's big, isn't it? Luiza?

Luiza? Hey!

May I have a dance with my beloved wife?

Please!

Excuse us, Luiza. So charming.

Have fun!

What is it?

What is it?

What's happening?

What?

You and Jana suddenly
became mother and daughter.

Don't start, Eduarda! Don't start.

Hmm! Don't trust Jana!
Don't trust! Hold on! Jana?

Jana! Jana as in Naja, the snake's name.

What a horrible thing to say, buddy!

Hey, it wasn't me, okay?

It was you who came up with that nickname!

Me? Huh? Don't you know yourself?

Girl, dance to disguise.

Dance! Dance and imitate the
snake. So, did I come up with this?

Friend of the snake! Friend of the snake!

Shake your belly!

My beautiful nephew! The
grandmother of my child!

Help me, God!

Shake it! That's it, buddy! Happiness!

What's this? Well...

today, I'm going to be the one taking
photos, and you're going to be my model!

Okay, let me teach you then.

Huh? Do you think I don't know
how to take photos? Oh, really?

Did you forget that I'm married to the
most wonderful and talented photographer?

Alright, on one condition.

What condition?

You have to give me 50 kisses as payment.



Yeah, I can afford that. Mmm...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

Go ahead.

You look so sexy when
you're embarrassed, you know?

Show me that big smile.

Beautiful!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

Alright, Luiza. Enough, enough!

Just one more! Just one more.

Now I'm going to collect
those 50 kisses you owe me.

Alright. With interest, okay?

Twenty-nine, thirty...

Four, five, five and a half...

Do you know what I was thinking, Valentina?

Hum?

If you would like to give
me that wonderful massage...

Wait for me lying face
down, I'll get the cream. Ahem.

I can't understand the
reason for all this fuss.

I've never seen Duda
like this. So impatient.

I think this pregnancy is
messing with her head.

Yeah, Chip, when women are pregnant,

their hormones can indeed become altered.

But I don't think that's her case.
She got into a battle with our mother.

She's fixated on the idea
that I don't support her choices.

She said that our mother
is prejudiced, intrusive...

She struggles to acknowledge any
positive actions our mother has taken,

And whenever our mother does something,

she believes there's an underlying
intention or motive behind it...

Knowing Mrs. Catarina as well as I do,

I can't say that Duda is
completely detached from reality.

She is your mother too, Valentina.

Can you help me a little here?

I'm sorry, Chip, but that's
precisely why, she's my mother too.

She's not always right, and you know
that Mom needs boundaries sometimes.

I know she has trouble communicating.

And that sometimes she can
put the cart before the horse, but...

I see her trying, you know?

And I'm her child too.

There has to be some respect here.

I get it, Chip.

Just be careful, don't
sacrifice your marriage

because you're putting Mom
as the perfect hero on a pedestal.

Sacrificing my marriage?

A grown man who doesn't know
how to stand up against his mother!

For God's sake, Luiza! He's a wimp!

But Duda, do you think it's only a
matter of standing up for oneself?

Sometimes, I have the feeling that he just
doesn't see her the way she is, you know?

Luiza, Jana doesn't
fall asleep at the wheel.

How can one not see those prejudiced lines?

The veiled criticism all the time! God!

Buddy, he's her son.

For him, it is hard to see his
mother like that, you know?

I think that you are there all the
time reinforcing the bad person

that she is, so...

I don't know, I think it's complicated.

Do you know what's worse?

I don't dislike her.

But I don't love her either, of course.

But I disagree, you know?

With the way she acts, thinks, dresses,
walks, talks, or the way she lives.

But seriously, I didn't want to feel
vulnerable all the time, that's all!

Duda...

Girl, Igor loves you.

He is a super dad to Aninha,
you have a really great relationship,

you've always had good communication...

I think you need to choose
your battles more wisely.

Who are you? What did you
do to my friend? Huh? Huh?

Nice to meet you, I'm Jana.

Come on, help me here.

Dork!

Hi!

Hey there! Is this powerful car ready
to be driven by Luiza Senna from Brazil?

Well, I appreciate the confidence,
princess. That's the spirit!

Careful though.

Don't worry.

So, can we go, right?

You can let go, Valentina.

OK.

As always, the last ones to leave, huh?

Hey?

What's happening?

I think it has to do with
this pregnancy, right?

Maternity...

I don't even know what to expect, Luiza.

I'm terrified.

You know that I never
dreamed of being a mother.

I keep remembering everything you
went through after giving birth to Léo.

I'm really scared, you know.

Look, Duda...

I may not remember everything
I went through with Léo,

but after I read that letter,

I know that postpartum depression
left marks on me until today.

Aninha...

Aninha could speak already
when she became part of our family.

But...

But what if I can't understand
why the baby is crying?

What if...

And what if I can't breastfeed?

And I'm really scared of
childbirth, you know, Luiza?

And I'm also afraid that I can't
cry anymore, of not having support

because everyone says that;

"After you become a mother,
you have to be strong."

And I don't know if I'm strong, I...

I don't know if I'm ready to be a mother.

I don't even know if I
can be a good mother.

Luiza? Luiza? Luiza!

Are you alright? Did you remember anything?

Luiza!

What is it?

Duda, I don't want you to go
through a third of what I went through.

So, please, don't
hesitate to ask me for help.

I will support you
throughout this whole process.

I'm here.

I'm with you.

Do you really want to do this?

Your action interferes completely
with the lives of the people you love.

Are you sure about this decision?
