Overview

• The Oct. 6 episode showed Odete Roitman (Débora Bloch) fatally shot in her Copacabana Palace suite in a gray look that echoed the 1988 original.
• Beginning Wednesday (Oct. 8), the in‑story police will take depositions from five prime suspects: Heleninha, Marco Aurélio, César, Maria de Fátima and Celina.
• Costume designer Marie Salles said eight identical blouses and six pairs of pants were made to film the blood effects for the homage outfit.
• Investigators Mauro (Claudio Jaborandy) and Alcides (Fifo Benicasa) have become social‑media favorites for scenes that mix procedural sleuthing with wry commentary.
• Public engagement has spilled offline with a Saturday “Debora Bloco” parade planned in downtown Rio, while cast and fans trade lighthearted guesses, including Paulo Betti’s tongue‑in‑cheek nod to the 1988 culprit and teasing replies to actor Guilherme Magon’s post.
