Overview

• Author Manuela Dias said ten versions were filmed—each of the five suspects both killing and not killing Odete—and only she will choose which cut airs.
• Production plans to assemble the last chapter on October 17 under tight control, with director Paulo Silvestrini safeguarding the footage until hours before transmission.
• Social-media analysis by Timelens for O Globo shows Heleninha and Maria de Fátima tied as top suspects with 24% of online mentions, followed by Celina at 23%, Marco Aurélio at 15% and César at 14%.
• A live Domingão com Huck audience poll contrasted sharply by putting Celina first with 49% and César last with 5%, a result that visibly surprised Dias.
• This week’s episodes intensify the investigation, including an interrogation face-off between Heleninha and Celina and scenes placing Heleninha in custody before she later appears in a penitentiary.
