Patricia was named Maldivas’ manager after defeating Milene with one vote from Verônica, who was made assistant manager. Kat and her spouse played a ruse with Patricia’s documents. Rayssa is sent photographs that could reveal her hidden open marriage. Milene is afraid of being caught stealing from the condo. Patricia is at the centre of everything.
Denilson, a homicide detective, is assigned to the investigation and suspects Kat, Milene, and Rayssa. Meanwhile, a gang, with Milene’s help, steals cars from the condo during the funeral.
Liz proceeds to submit a report and meets investigator Denilson, who tells her more about the case. She later breaks into her mother’s apartment and finds out the murder weapon is the rule book written by Milene.
She breaks into her mother’s mailbox where she finds out about the fraudulent bank account created by Kat and Gustavo. She begins off evolving her investigation but falls on detective Denilson’s radar.
Detective Denilson interrogates Liz and gets her DNA test done. He finds out that Liz is Patricia’s daughter and her mother’s crime of killing Liz’s father. The surprising finding is that Patricia is not dead.

Rayssa informs her that she and her spouse are separating. Kate informs her that she is aware of the images and asks if Rayssa has been approached for payment. Kate warns her that if she doesn’t, she might have enraged someone who will expose her.
Meanwhile, Milene’s husband attempts to persuade her, which she gently refuses. Kate returns home to find her spouse telling her that other people are interested in money laundering and will earn 20% of the proceeds.

Rayssa tells Meline about her romance and asks if she sent the photos, but they were provided by Rayssa’s husband’s boyfriend and her hairdresser.
Patricia realises she’s being held captive in her flat, so she ignites a fire. Joana confronts Detective Denilson after he saves Patricia. Liz implores her grandmother to allow her mother to leave.
