Overview

• Monday’s episode shows Odete shot in her Copacabana Palace suite, with staging that indicates an intentional killing unlike the 1988 accident.
• Delegate Mauro takes over the case, reviews hotel security footage, and narrows the inquiry to Marco Aurélio, Celina, Maria de Fátima, Heleninha and César.
• Manuela Dias confirms ten alternate finales were filmed and says only she and director Paulinho Silvestrini know the chosen resolution, due on October 17.
• Online reaction is intense with notable disappointment from viewers, as a teaser for the next 9 p.m. novela and a clip of César’s police deposition trend.
• This week’s chapters advance the investigation with a closed‑casket funeral (Oct. 8) and depositions (Oct. 9), and plot reports point to Celina’s and Heleninha’s fingerprints on the weapon.
