Frederico eventually says he believes Diego is not his actual son, because he discovered among his wife's (Cristina) things letters shared with an ex-boyfriend, whom he met in college and from whom he always felt inferior. Theo says he is afraid of loving Diego and consequently becoming indifferent to his true origin, and afraid of discovering Diego is his true son, which would mean he wasted 16 years of his life rejecting his own child. Frederico leaves without saying a word. ||||

He's been struggling with erectile dysfunction and feels less of a man for that. Following some examinations that turned nothing abnormal, Caio insists his impotence is psychological in origin. As the session progresses, Nando explains both were top students in college, but while he made it as a business executive right at the beginning, Maria began her career in low-paid jobs. Eventually, Nando says he proposed to her when he realized he could help her have a better life and Caio questions him whether he married her out of love or out of compassion. Later, he reveals he wanted her to reprehend him after failing to have sex, but instead she was understanding towards the situation. He says they are becoming distant and fears losing his wife.

| On Thursdays 5pm, Caio treats Haidée, an elderly woman living with her son Mário and daughter-in-law Vanessa following her husband's Afonso death and who sees herself as a problem to the couple. When Caio asks what she wants to achieve with therapy, she replies that she wishes to die, stating she has already done everything she had to in life. When she suggests she's going to overdose on pills, Caio gives her a dose of whiskhy for her to do it, but she goes to the restroom and cries. Later, she comments that during her last trip to New York City, where her daughter Camila lives, she appreciated the engravings found on benches of Central Park containing epitaphs. Caio asks what she thinks would be written on hers and she replies "mother and dedicated wife". Caio suggests that with her husband dead and her children grown, people no longer are dependent on her and that scares her a lot. After she leaves, Guilhermina's father Thomas pays him a visit and attacks him, asking what he told her. ||||
| 120 | 5 | "Caio - Sessão 01" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio returns to his sessions with his supervisor Sofia after two months. She asks him why he is reluctant about delivering Vera's and Elisa's belongings and Caio deduces she thinks him a coward. As the session progresses, it is revealed that Vera and Elisa were murdered shortly after an argument in which Caio discovered Elisa was not his daughter. Caio feels guilty for their deaths and says he can't understand why the criminal killed them but didn't steal anything. He also reveals he was found to be sterile in recent examinations and that with Elisa's death, he'll never be a father again. He says Guilhermina's father attacked him because he thinks Caio is flirting with his daughter and Sofia says he is not ready to treat adolescents because of what he's gone through with his family. She also deduces he feels guilty for their deaths because the truth about Elisa must have made him so angry that he wished she was dead. Sofia also notices Caio is flirting with her and says he is not doing that out of attraction, but out of fear of being alone. Caio is unhappy and quits the session promising to never return. Later, he leaves Theo a message and goes to a nightclub alone. ||||
| 121 | 6 | "Chiara - Sessão 02" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Chiara receives a phone call from her mother, lies about her whereabouts and accepts a request to give her some money. Soon after, Caio accepts to give her a session even though she promised she wouldn't return and, therefore, it was an unscheduled one. Chiara tells the story of her career and Caio asks her whether she did her first auditions because she wanted to be an actress or just because her parents saw a money-making opportunity. She also tells of a school love interest that liked her before she was famous, but later said he preferred the "old Joana". Chiara says no one ever showed interested in knowing her deeply until she started the sessions with Caio and Caio ponderates that she's caring too much about what other people think of her. After she leaves, Caio begins his next session. ||||
| 122 | 7 | "Guilhermina - Sessão 02" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio has a vision of Vera helping Elisa with her studies. Guilhermina's mother Carmen attends the session while her daughter waits outside and discusses Thomas' outburst last thursday. She says Guilhermina locked herself in her room following the previous session, refusing to talk about it. When she finally did, she accused Caio of making sexual comments towards her. Carmen also said security footage shows Guilhermina entering the restroom alone in the moment she claimed she was bullied. Caio invites Guilhermina in and asks Carmen to leave them alone. As the session continues, someone calls Guilhermina numerous times, but she never answers even when Caio allows her to. He also pressures her to allow him in "her world" and stop lying, but she asks him to end the session. Before she goes, she leaves Laura again, this time on Caio's suggestion. ||||
| 123 | 8 | "Nando - Sessão 02" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| After finishing a session with a woman, Caio welcomes Nando, who said he managed to have sex with a prostitute and left home, believing his impotence is caused by Maria Lucia. Nando says he felt "avenged" when he admitted to having sex with the prostitute, but can't understand this feeling. Caio suggests Nando is feeling diminished now that Maria Lucia has become a successful professional, that his manhood just couldn't co-exist with her and that he may have sabotaged his own marriage in order to regain his virility, but says only Nando himself can determine whether it is true. ||||
| 124 | 9 | "Haidée - Sessão 02" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| After commenting that Mario travelled with Vanessa to the countryside and she had to go to the doctor alone in order to treat injuries from a fall she suffered before the previous session, Haidée suffers a panic attack and says she's experienced that before. She also says the examinations revealed a nodule in her thyroid, but she didn't say anything to her son in order not to make him worried. When Caio encourages her to talk about her youth, she says her mother would barely allow her to hang out, but after she divorced, she would go to parties quite often, leaving Haidée alone and waiting for her all night long. As she leaves, Isabel pays Caio a visit and asks for anything that belonged to Vera and Elisa just so she can sense their smell one last time. She also says she and her husband Carlos didn't expect to lose him, as well, and that they should mourn their deaths together. Caio stands facing the opposite direction, never turning to her, and only says Elisa wasn't his daughter. Isabel cries for some moments and leaves as he shows no reaction. Caio then contemplates the boxes containing his family's belongings. ||||
| 125 | 10 | "Caio - Sessão 02" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio receives a visit from his former-therapist-turned-friend Dr. Theo Cecatto. The reunion soon becomes a session and Theo suggests he needs therapy, even more than supervision, since he's apparently failing to deal with his current problems. Theo also deduces Caio only keeps his patients in order to ease his loleniness. Caio admits he's fallen in love with Sofia. Theo says Caio is looking for a relationship when he should be looking for therapy, and that it is too soon to stop his treatment with Sofia because therapy is a commitment established between the professional and the patient. The episode ends as they leave for a stroll. ||||
| 126 | 11 | "Chiara - Sessão 03" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Chiara recalls one episode of bullying inflicted by a teacher back in school and how she managed to manipulate the situation in her favor with humor, which resulted in her gaining the respect of her classmates. After that, she discovered a "power" within herself and she buried her old self. As the session progresses, Caio suggests she is always putting other people's demands above hers and that she should start making herself a priority. After she leaves, Caio googles her artistic name and checks the results. ||||
| 127 | 12 | "Guilhermina - Sessão 03" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio has a memory of his family. Guilhermina arrives ten minutes before the session and frantically knocks on the door. After she enters, she receives numerous messages and calls, which makes her visibly anxious. After Caio questions her, she admits the caller is her secret boyfriend, Pedro, whom she met on the internet and who is older than her, though she never specifies how much. Guilhermina says he told her lots of lies in order to gain her attention and that disappointed her. Caio notices she's highly uncomfortable about meeting him, but because of Pedro himself, and not because of what her father will do to her if he ever finds out. Before she leaves, Caio makes her promise she will not talk to Pedro again unless she truly wants to. ||||
| 128 | 13 | "Nando - Sessão 03" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Nando still blames Maria for the end of their marriage and for his impotence while Caio suggests he reflects on his own contribution to the situation. He also says he's been filed for mobbing by his personal assistant, Michelle, who is black like him. He is frustrated because he saw her as his possible successor in the company and while he recognizes to have always been highly demanding of her, he never thought she minded that. Caio ponderates that Nando may have related to both Maria and Michelle because of their skin color, but that he may have felt threatened by their growth. When Nando mentions his company's HR department has scheduled a confrontation with him and Michelle, Caio recommends he keeps his cool and listens to what his former assistant has to say. ||||
| 129 | 14 | "Haidée - Sessão 03" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Haidée comments about a school reunion party that she attended with her old classmates, in which a former colleague asked her out. Haidée thinks she's too old to date again and that Afonso was her only man. She also says Vanessa is pregnant and now she feels more afraid, since her room will probably be designated for the child. She also feels older, but says deep inside she doesn't feel as old as she is, while Caio thinks she is always trying to look older. Caio says she apparently forbids herself from being happy and that she should not be looking for another place to live, but for things that make her feel well. ||||
| 130 | 15 | "Caio - Sessão 03" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio checks himself on the mirror before he leaves for his session with Sofia. During their conversation, Sofia tries to explore his relationship with his mother, who died when he was a child, but he has no memories of her whatsoever, not even pictures, and says he already exhausted the topic with Theo in the past. Later, he contradicts himself and says he does have a few memories, adding that he was much closer to his father. As he discusses Guilhermina's progress, Sofia suggests he may be attempting to take the role of her father. Later in the session, Caio asks why he always ends up thinking the same things. Sofia throws the question back at him and he reasons that it's something that hurts him and needs to get out. Once they're finished, Caio says he will return next week. Before he leaves, he hugs Sofia, who timidly reciprocates after some hesitation. After he leaves, she has a drink and contemplates the rain falling on the garden outside. ||||
| 131 | 16 | "Chiara - Sessão 04" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio has a memory of himself dodging a question from Elisa about his mother. Later, Chiara laments that she lost a dream role to Juliana Noronha, a digital influencer with no acting experience. Caio asks her if she truly believes there's no chance Noronha did perform better in the audition and she briefly leaves the room. Later, she talks about her parents and Caio realizes she considers her mother "beautiful and seductive" and her father "invisible and submissive", while the role that was "left" for her was that of the "funny one". Caio says she is tired of being funny and that she needs to believe she can also be the beautiful one. Chiara also tells of an audition she went with her mother for a Mother's Day commercial in which only her mother was selected, but she only found that out when the commercial was aired. She asks him to finish the session earlier and listens to his advice again, via a secret recording she took mid-session. ||||
| 132 | 17 | "Guilhermina - Sessão 04" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio dreams of the session in which Guilhermina talked about Pedro, but it is actually Elisa speaking while Vera plays the acoustic guitar in the background. Later, at her session, Guilhermina says Pedro threatened her with telling everything about them to her father. When Caio asks her to talk more about their relationship, she reveals he is considerably older than her - enough to drive his own car -, that he molested her and that she once sent him an intimate picture.

Carmen comforts her daughter as Caio observes. ||||
| 133 | 18 | "Nando - Sessão 04" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Caio has another vision of his family. Later, Nando says he was suspended at work following the confrontation session between him and Michelle, which he believed was biased due to a woman having been assigned to moderate it. He felt diminished when he walked out of the company while observed by several female colleagues, all of which, according to him, were apparently feeling "avenged". He also says Maria forbid him from seeing their son and he laments that she never even considered the possibility of him being the victim. Later, he recalls some episodes of his youth in which he was a victim of unfairness, but couldn't say a single word in his own defense. Caio says he sees himself too much like a victim, and that he needs to have more empathy. Nando says even though he's not working, he still leaves home with elegant clothes so that he reduces the risk of having trouble when going to stores and malls and says he would like to dress up like they do in Wakanda. Caio says he is not superhero, but he has the power of choice. Nando understands and says he may have lost his wife, but can still save his job. After he leaves, Caio happily performs a song on the acoustic guitar. ||||
| 134 | 19 | "Haidée - Sessão 04" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Following the examination that revealed a nodule, Haidée underwent a biopsy and brought the unopened results to the session, willing to read them in Caio's company. Before that, she says everything went well on her date and that she feels younger than ever. She recalls the day in which her neighbor reported her mother to the authorities for partying frequently and leaving Haidée alone, which resulted in her spending about a year in foster care. When her mother regained the right to raise her, she was a changed woman and started to control Haidée's every move. Caio notices Haidée is somehow becoming like her. Haidée leaves without checking the exams, but promises to update him. ||||
| 135 | 20 | "Caio - Sessão 04" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| After having another vision of his family, Caio welcomes his sister Mariana, who will spend a week in his apartment, and leaves for his session with Sofia. Once alone, Mariana stare at the boxes containing Vera's and Elisa's belongings. In the session, Caio intensifies his attempts to seduce Sofia, who reprehends him for his behavior. He reveals his mother didn't really die when he was a child, but left the family after becoming pregnant of another man. Later, he also says Elisa didn't really want to leave with her mother the night they were murdered. Such memory makes him feel uncomfortable and he leaves the session abruptly. Sofia checks on her notes about Caio, which read "maternal figure", "abandonmnent" and "resistance". ||||
| 136 | 21 | "Chiara - Sessão 05" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Mariana tells Caio their mother has contacted her. He is uninterested, but Mariana insists he gets over their mother's abandonment. It is revealed that the recording of Chiara's session with Caio was leaked, but Chiara says it was due to her cellphone being stolen during the shooting of some scenes. She apologizes, but Caio says she needs not worry about him. Still, he asks her why she felt the need to record the session, and she replies it was because she wanted to listen to his advices and wanted to become a better person. However, she says the incident gave her a career boost: she has triple the followers on social media now and her TV program is reaching high ratings. She also received calls from Noronha, who turned out to be a nice girl; and a childhood love interest named Henry, who asked her out on a dinner (but she declined). Her father left her mother and the latter is disappointed at her for the way she commented the Mother's Day commercial incident and Chiara realises she did distort parts of the story. As the session progresses, Caio deduces deep inside Chiara wanted the audio to be leaked so that people could see the real Chiara (Joana). He recommends she works on a theater play she always wanted to starr in and reminds her some people will like it and some will not, and that's OK. ||||
| 137 | 22 | "Guilhermina - Sessão 05" | 30 August 2019 (2019-08-30) |
| Mariana insists one more time that Caio meets their mother. Later, Guilhermina's father Thomas comes to the session before Guilhermina, apologizes for attacking Caio and discusses his daughter's behavior. He thinks himself a bad father for having been too flexible with Guilhermina whilst his two other sons are now estranged due to the strict manner in which he raised them both. Caio tells him neither flexibility nor strictness in excess can be a good thing. Carmen and Guilhermina arrive, but only the former comes in. Tension rises between the couple, but Caio makes them both realize their shared responsibility towards the situation and recommends they do individual therapy and, afterwards, couples therapy. When Guilhermina finally enters, Thomas forgives her and she says she's no longer afraid of Pedro and is willing to go back to school. Caio asks the couple to leave him alone with Guilhermina, who says she feels frustrated she won't ever see Pedro again. Caio say it's OK to have such feeling but reiterates she should not talk to him again. ||||

It is revealed that on the previous Sunday, Nando and Caio met by chance at a nightclub and that Nando hooked up with a woman that Caio tried to approach; Nando eventually taunts him about it and adds that he is just as lost and unconfident as he is. Both stand up and stare each other, but nothing happens. Caio asks Nando why he didn't fight and he says he doesn't want to be the "violent black man".

Caio makes her reflect about her relationship with her mother and with her son and Haidée realizes her mother must have lived a lonely life.

| Caio has a vision of him and Sofia passionately hooking up before the session. Back to reality, he comments on his mother's return and believes she must be either seriously ill or broke to have remembered about her children. Sofia suggests he must be afraid of seeing his mother again either because she may abandon him again or because he may find out he doesn't hate her as much as he wants to. Caio says he understands but will deliberately not do what he should because he's used to postponing such things. Sofia suggests he is as stuck in the "grieving, abandoned boy" role as Nando is in the "violent sexist man" one, and suggests he can be what he wants to be. As he leaves, Caio says he had an "edgy dream" about them and she suggests they talk about it next session. Caio watches her shade through the glass door for a moment before leaving. ||||

| Nando and Maria Lucia agree to have a session together, but Nando is late and Caio begins without him. Maria Lucia talks about racism, sexism, feminism and representation of black people and Caio praises her work, but says she should take it easier with Nando, who seems to be genuinely trying to learn, albeit not dealing with it in a grown-up manner.

Maria Lucia allows him back home, saying she's not sure it's the right thing for her to do. ||||

When Caio asks her what she thinks of Ivan compared to Afonso, she says her sex life had always been devoted to Afonso's pleasure and still he had many affairs. With Ivan, however, she's feeling loved and valued and even experienced her very first orgasm. Caio says he's very happy for her and recommends she enjoys herself. ||||

Later at Sofia's, he says Mariana sent him the video after trying to call him numerous times, presumably to convince him to talk to their mother. Later, he says the night his family was murdered, Vera said he didn't like them anymore and when Elisa asked to stay with him, he angrily told her to go with her mother. Sofia says he shouldn't feel guilty and he replies that he doesn't, but thinks he doesn't deserve to stop feeling the pain. Also, Caio confesses his attraction for her, but she says nothing will ever happen between them and decides to end their sessions, claiming she has fallen in love with him and can't deal with it.

Guilhermina says she does want to leave Brazil, but wouldn't like to interrupt her therapy. Caio suggests they continue online, but Thomas rejects the idea, saying they should just forget everything and move on and questioning the effectiveness of such medium. Guilhermina insists and says he should do therapy too. He cries and apologizes for the way he's been handling everything.

After she leaves, he has a vision of him and Vera playing acoustic guitars for Elisa to sing. ||||

She also says it is her birthday and that she wants her Central Park bench engraving to read "Haidée: woke up to life at the age of 68". Caio says he's happy for her and she gives him an envelope for him to open when she leaves. Inside, he finds a letter which reads "life goes by fast. Go live, my son.

Caio tells her everything he thinks with a therapist tone and she says she reached out for her children because she's growing old and wanted a chance of redemption.

### Season 5 (2021)

| No. overall | No. in season | Original title | Original air date |
| 151 | 1 | "Manu" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Sofia (Morena Baccarin) sends Caio (Selton Mello) a video message breaking up with him and recommending him to a doctor called Davi for supervision. On Mondays at 5 pm, Caio receives Manu (Letícia Colin), a fashion designer who's just had her first child and went to therapy under her pediatrician's recommendation after leaving her daughter Liz alone in her bedroom because she wasn't coping with the child's constant crying. She eventually mentions the witching hour and Caio asks why she's scheduled her session at that time, to which she rudely responds that she can schedule whenever she wants. Caio assures her it's ok to have a mix of feelings following the birth of a child and asks her if she wishes to keep coming, but she says she'll think about it. After she leaves, Caio listens to an audio message from his sister Mari (Bruna Chiaradia), who asks if he's coming to their mother's funeral. Caio replies that "the woman who's being buried is nothing mine". ||||
| 152 | 2 | "Tony" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| On Tuesdays at 1 pm, Caio receives delivery motorcyclist Tony (Christian Malheiros), who's coming to face-to-face sessions following an online period. Caio treats him for free as part of a volunteer COVID-19 mental health project, though Tony feels uncomfortable with this. Tony vents that people will often look down on him for his position and also expresses discomfort about some male clients supposedly having some sort of "fetish" for professionals like him. Tony eventually says that what he really wants is a better, more stable job to provide a better life for his family. Later he says he would like to "die and be born again" in a better position and Caio wonders if that's why he has the habit of riding without a helmet. Towards the end, Caio reminds him that he started therapy after getting hurt in an accident. Tony asks if he's going to ask if he wants to kill himself, to which Caio replies if he would like him to. Tony then admits he does want to kill himself, just like police officers, reckless drivers and drunk drivers want. Tony finally admits he likes what he does for a living and tells Caio he doesn't plan to come back next week, but Caio says the time will still be his anyway. After he leaves, Caio receives a message of his sister lamenting that he didn't go to their mother's funeral but telling him about it anyway. ||||
| 153 | 3 | "Giovana" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Mari insists that Caio meets Miguel, their estranged half brother whom their mother had after abandoning them. On Wednesdays at 1pm, Caio treats Giovanna (Luana Xavier), an Afro-Brazilian overweight woman who's unsuccessfully tried numerous strategies to become slim and fears that her condition will eventually kill her. She says she's always the best at what she does because people will usually underestimate her due to her skin color and her looks and the constant doubts fuel her motivation to be the best. However, she admits losing weight is the only thing she failed to do. Caio suggests she cares too much about other people's validation and that she simultaneously wishes and fears being noticed. ||||
| 154 | 4 | "Lidia" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| On Thursdays at 10 am, Caio treats Lidia (Miwa Yanagizawa), a nurse who's coming back to therapy after interrupting it due to the excessive workload generated by the COVID-19 crisis. She tells a handful of sad stories of sick and dying patients. Caio tells her she's used to taking care of others, but that she should be caring for herself, too, with which she agrees before concluding that the pandemic "was terrible" and crying. Caio also points that she's constantly using "we/us" to refer to the struggles of a nurse during the pandemic, but that the space is hers and that she should focus on her very own hardships. ||||
| 155 | 5 | "Caio" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Caio schedules a session on Friday at 4 pm with Davi Greco (Rodrigo Santoro), who had just finished with his child patient Benício (Dani Gutto). Caio observes toys on a table, expresses discomfort with the presence of such objects and says he believes "adult and child therapy are two totally different worlds". Caio mentions his mother's death but grows increasingly angry with the topic. Davi says he has had to learn to take care of himself from a very young age and that he needs to allow someone to take care of him. Caio eventually says he missed both his mother's and his daughter's funerals and that he's "a dick" and abruptly leaves. Davi closes the door and checks on some objects in a separate room. ||||
| 156 | 6 | "Manu" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Caio listens to an audio message of a woman braking up with him. Later, Manu knocks on his door but he says she never confirmed it, so he wasn't really expecting her. Under her insistence, Caio accepts to have the session. Manu says her mother has moved in and now she feels monitored by both her and her husband Murilo, especially after he had a security camera installed in the room (claiming it to be something they'll need when they hire a nanny). Malu eventually says she just wants her life back and that she doesn't feel able to love her daughter as much as she should. Caio notices that she apparently sees maternity as just a fulfilled item on a to-do list and reminds her it's about much more than taking care of a child. He also quotes Donald Winnicott on the idea that it is the child who teaches a woman how to be a mother. After she leaves, he starts an online session with Guilhermina (Livia Silva), a patient from the previous season. ||||
| 157 | 7 | "Tony" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Tony says he still feels uncomfortable about being treated for free, so Caio proposes they exchange services, and Tony agrees to deliver him some of the meals his parents cook for a living. Caio asks Tony to tell him about the accident and Tony says he was working via an app that specializes on long delivery trips that generate extra money the sooner the items are delivered. Because he was broke at the time, he took on the jobs and rode as fast as possible and eventually collided with a car that was trying to catch a light. Tony was frustrated that the police officers who attended to the scene barely listened to him and that he was taken to a hospital very far from his home, while the other driver was safe & sound inside a luxury, armored car filled with airbags and was quickly helped by a tow car and a taxi. Following the accident, he now walks with a limb, which Caio hadn't noticed. Tony believes everybody spots his situation and makes fun of him, and that he's afraid of never being able to do the things he loves again, such as dancing, flirting and playing football. Later, he has a memory of a book he read when he was in school, To Kill a Mockingbird. He identified with the character who was falsely accused of abusing a woman, and Caio wonders why. Tony eventually says "life is shitty and there's no way out", but Caio says when he was working a lot before the accident, he probably knew there was, indeed, a way out. ||||
| 158 | 8 | "Giovana" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Caio listens to an audio message of a friend speaking well of Davi and watches an interview with the therapist. Later, Giovanna says she's casually met with her former husband Alê just before the session and tells Caio of how Alê hooked up with her in a barbecue and walked around the place hand-in-hand with her, not feeling "embarrassed". Caio asks if she believes he wouldn't have wanted her if she were fatter and she stops talking. After he insists that she speaks so he can help her, she laments that she cannot keep a diet and that she will eat compulsively when no one's looking. Caio proposes that she calls him whenever she feels like she's about to do that and she agrees. After she leaves, she opens a ridesharing app and vacillates between going home or to a Japanese restaurant. ||||
| 159 | 9 | "Lidia" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| Lidia talks about her past, telling Caio of how her father demanded high of her due to her position as first child. When she had to decide on a career to follow, she was stuck between nursing and hospitality management studies, but ultimately decided on the former because she likes to "care for people". Caio wonders if working in the hotel industry couldn't be another form of caring for people. She also reveals she's married to a woman (Andressa) and feared for her father's reaction to the relationship, but he just said "that's not what I expected for my daughter, but if you're happy, I'm happy". After she leaves, Mari pays Caio a visit and reveals their mother bequeathed them an inheritance. ||||
| 160 | 10 | "Caio" | 4 June 2021 (2021-06-04) |
| At Davi's, Caio talks about his mother and their history together, and comments that he feels uncomfortable treating Manu because of her motherhood issues. Davi suggests that by helping Manu work through her challenges, Caio would be humanizing his mother and her past mistakes. Caio says he's "afraid" of learning more about his mother's inheritance because it would extend her presence in his life and because he could even like what she left them. He then reveals details of the night his mother left: she was quieter than usual during dinner and put them to sleep, which she wouldn't usually do. Caio woke up in the middle of the night and saw his mother leaving home with some suitcases. He cried for her, but she walked away without even looking back. Mid-session, Caio notices Davi keeps boxes with his patients' names and spots one labeled "Caio", but Davi says it belongs to another patient. After Caio leaves, a woman (Camila Lucciola) carrying a guitar case enters Davi's room and they exchange serious looks before she leaves. ||||
| 161 | 11 | "Manu" | 11 June 2021 (2021-06-11) |
| Caio's telephone screen is shown with several missed calls from Giovanna. Also, the building's janitor leaves an envelope at his door. Manu tells Caio that she lived with several different relatives as a child and never developed intimacy with her mother. Caio deduces she may be afraid of developing intimacy with her child the way her mother never did with her, and that's why she tends to leave her daughter either alone or with someone else. Manu says she has an appointment and quickly leaves. ||||
| 162 | 12 | "Tony" | 11 June 2021 (2021-06-11) |
| Caio listens to an audio message in which Sofia's new boyfriend angrily tells him to stop messaging her. Before his session, Tony chit chats with another patient, Eva (Renata Gasparim). Later, he tells Caio of the day some criminals stole a package of money he was supposed to deliver and that his boss first suspected of him, and then had him "apologize for being robbed". He also says he's happy that he talked a bit with Eva and Caio reminds him that now he doesn't see himself as an "intruder", but as just another patient, so much that he's wearing casual clothing instead of his motorcyclist attire. Eventually, Tony reflects that "there are things in life that can't be controlled". Caio asks what he would like to control and he tells him of a manga he likes in which if the main character writes the name of a person while mentally visualizing them on a certain notebook, they will die. He then says "it's tough not to know when we're gonna die" and Caio asks if he would like to write his name on the notebook, but Tony just leaves. Caio then listens to an audio message of his sister insisting that they discuss their mother's inheritance. He then checks on the envelope he received in the previous episode and learns it is related to legal procedures related to the inheritance. ||||
| 163 | 13 | "Giovana" | 11 June 2021 (2021-06-11) |
| Caio talks about his mother's inheritance with Theo. Soon after, he tosses the envelope on the trash can. Later, Giovanna says she's just been to a brunch with her childhood friend, who gathered some friends to announce her wedding and invite them to be her bridesmaid. Giovanna is happy with the invitation, but plans to decline it because she grew annoyed and offended with the girls' discussions of diets and also thinks it's pointless to spend so much on a one-night dress. Caio apologizes for not taking her calls at night but reminds her she never answered his return calls, either. Eventually, Giovanna says she noticed her father never cared for her state and would often offer her high-calorie meals. She later reminds of a movie about a serial killer who receives the death penalty from a judge who is seemingly remorseful of "wasting a human life full of potential". Caio asks why she thought of that movie and she says she sees her father in the judge, because her father admires her while she walks along a "death row". Giovana says she wants to "eat in order to live" and not the opposite, but Caio asks if she sees that she's doing quite the opposite. Giovanna says she's going to eat with a friend and leaves. ||||
| 164 | 14 | "Lidia" | 11 June 2021 (2021-06-11) |
| Lidia, still traumatized and feeling unable to resume work at the hospital, tried to have a doctor friend give her a sick note, but he refused. She says her legs simply "paralyze" whenever she attempts to enter the hospital and wonders what's wrong with her. She also says Andressa found out about her condition and now is angry with her for keeping such situation from her. And that she had a major conflict with her family after venting on pretty much everything that was disturbing her. She says Caio is "at fault" for this and he replies that one can only be "at fault" after deliberately causing harm to someone, and wonders why she used such term. Lidia receives a phone call from the hospital and says she's going there right now. Caio is glad that's she's willing to tackle work. Later, Mari pays him a visit and they have a heated argument over Caio's reluctance to accept their mother's inheritance. ||||
| 165 | 15 | "Caio" | 11 June 2021 (2021-06-11) |
| At Davi's, Caio comments on Sofia's boyfriend's message and on his patients. Davi notices Caio appears to lack confidence on his ability to help them and asks him if he still likes to treat people. Caio then talks about Tony and concludes he's growing "attached" to him, which he believes will tamper with his work. Davi says he totally opposes the idea that attachment will necessarily be an obstacle in a therapist-patient relationship. He then repeats his question and suggests that Caio's patients do not all really have issues with their mothers, but that it is Caio who always sees a bit of his mother in all of them because deep inside he's still looking for her and waiting for her return. Davi mentions one patient who decided to become a priest as a way of fighting his insecurities after being abandoned by his mother, and Caio angrily rejects that he's following a similar path. He then asks Davi to keep the envelope, which he still hasn't opened. Caio mentions the box with his name and Davi asks him what else would he keep in a box at his place in case they started one. Caio says keeping such a box would be pointless. Eventually, Caio expresses disagreement over Davi's approach, and he reminds him that starting therapy with a new professional means subjecting oneself to the process of "deconstruction". Caio leaves and Davi checks on an old picture of a man and a child. ||||
| 166 | 16 | "Manu" | 18 June 2021 (2021-06-18) |
| Álvaro (Renato Macedo), a patient of Caio, comments mid-session that Caio seems to be "daydreaming" while he speaks and announces he will leave earlier and doesn't plan to go back. Later, Manu talks about her struggles with breastfeeding and how Liz is rejecting her breast over the baby bottle. Caio assures her the baby is just rejecting her breast, not her altogether. Manu also mentions that her mother would often buy her lots of things as a way of "compensating for her absence", but Caio wonders if it isn't just the way she manifests love, just like her recent attempts to bond with her. ||||
| 167 | 17 | "Tony" | 18 June 2021 (2021-06-18) |
| Mari has breakfast with Caio and after an exchange of mild provocations, she gives him Miguel's phone number and reminds him he's just another victim of their mother. Tony comes in late and comments that he witnessed another motorcyclist being abused by police officers and decided to intervene by shooting a video. He shows Caio the video, in which he delivers a fiery speech, and Caio expresses his approval of it, commenting on how Tony was able to speak up his mind. Tony, however, doesn't plan to post the video online. Caio comments that he was worried about Tony following their previous session. Tony mentions a neighbor who committed suicide and says he is afraid of dying. After he leaves, Caio starts crying and checks on Miguel's number. ||||
| 168 | 18 | "Giovana" | 18 June 2021 (2021-06-18) |
| Giovana tells Caio she rejected additional food from her father, which started a heated argument between them, and that she felt like "a different person" when she said "no" to the father. She then details their relationship and reveals that as she came of age, her father grew increasingly overprotective and started prohibiting her from wearing short clothes and being "too nice" with customers. They eventually conclude she would eat a lot simply to obey her father, so much that one night she collected food from the trash can that she had previously discarded in order not to eat it. Caio assures her that speaking up her mind doesn't make her "a different person", much the opposite. He asks her what does her father usually cook, and she says he can cook pretty much anything, especially Italian dishes. Caio, having noticed that she usually goes to Japanese restaurants, reminds her that he can't cook Japanese food. In the middle of the session, Giovana asks Caio if he has any siblings. After some hesitation, he says he has a sister. ||||
| 169 | 19 | "Lidia" | 18 June 2021 (2021-06-18) |
| Giovana calls Caio, and this time he answers it. Later, Lidia says she needs to go on a trip, which she never did as a child, which caused her to make up every text about the topic that her teachers asked her to write. She then tells Caio the tale of Urashima Tarō. She concludes the story if about "exchanging work for fun", but Caio notices she apparently believes the protagonist was punished for having fun. Caio asks what would Lidia keep in her tamatebako and she says she would put her mistakes and maybe her siblings because she would love to spend some time alone with her parents. She then tells about one incident at the hospital in which two patients suffered simultaneous cardiac arrests and her co-worker Fernanda simply paralyzed instead of helping her. She then chose to prioritize an older widowed patient with children "so they wouldn't be alone" over the other patient, a young man who she thought would be more "resistant". The latter ended up dying. Caio notices how she usually brings up the topic of loneliness and asks her to describe Fernanda, and is surprised to find out she's young. Lidia starts crying, says she's feeling "funny! and abruptly leaves. Caio sends her a voice message saying he's worried and asking her to call him back. Sofia calls Caio and apologize for her boyfriend Jonata's behavior. ||||
| 170 | 20 | "Caio" | 18 June 2021 (2021-06-18) |
| Caio apologizes to Davi for his behavior during their last session. He reminds one day in which he got lost inside Copan Building while accompanying his father, an architect, who went there to check on a renovation he was leading. Davi wonders if he feared being abandoned again during the incident and later in the session asks if he really got lost or simply went hiding. He comments on his patients and concludes that if they knew how he was doing, "there would be none left". He also comments on his sister's attempts to connect with Miguel, which he despises. Davi mentions that he has lost trust in several of his close ones and he might be stuck in a certain "loop" and that may be preventing him from getting to know Miguel. He also believes Caio doesn't want to know Miguel out of fear of liking him and possibly tearing down the "fantasy" that he created in his mind. Caio reminds of the night his mother left him again and concludes that by abandoning her family, she was abandoning her role as a mother. Caio comments on his relationship with Sofia. Davi suggests Caio has "two mothers": the one who raised him until he was seven and whom he misses, and the one that chose to prioritize herself and "be a woman, not a mother". He then asks which of the two is he mad with and suggests he got himself involved with Sofia because she represented his mother and he represented the affair that removed his mother from the family. Davi also concludes Caio inadvertently "tests" the ones around him in order to see if they'll stand by him or simply leave like his mother. He says being stuck in a "loop" is human and he himself has reached a stalemate with his wife because he wants to have a child and she doesn't. Davi concludes therapists like them are good at caring for others. The session ends with both emotionally promising not to stop their progress together. ||||

He also said that should simply accept that she "was born fat and will die fat". Together, they conclude she ate compulsively in order to "obey" her father's prediction. Caio compares her and her fight against obesity to the myth of Sisyphus and assures her she doesn't have to "let the boulder fall back again" and that it is normal for a journey to have its ups and downs, but that the failures should be exceptions.

Eventually, Davi asks about his father and Caio praises him, saying he "held his own" with the task of raising the family alone. He then tells of a day in which he ran away from a school trip with some friends and got one of them injured. On the way back with his father, he started crying and his father told him to "suck up his crying and take responsibility for his mistakes". Caio then claims he has always taken responsibility for his actions. Davi claims his father raising the family alone may have been his way of "sucking up his crying and taking responsibility for his mistakes", since there is a possibility that Alice left because of him.
