## Summary

**1 Year Earlier**

Another guard wakes Rafael abruptly. She offers to take his shift if he'll take hers tomorrow. He agrees and says he owes her one. Rafael then overhear two guards being critical of Marcela.

Rafael sees Marcela leading his brother to interrogation and tricks another guard into leaving his post so he can see the video of his brother confessing to stealing an implant because his brother had stolen his. He learns that he's on a list of people suspected to have connections to the Cause. He goes to Elisa and drags her out of her room. They run for a while and he explains that she's under suspicion because she covered for his brother's fake implant. They're found by a guard, but are able to escape into the night. Once they arrive, Elisa is angry with him and breaks things off with him, since he started the whole thing.

Artur is still sick and decides not to go with Rafael when Rafael says they're having a meeting. Rafael gives him some food and leaves.

Rafael sees Elisa sitting in a hammock.

Natália and Joana agree to vote against the Process. They will stay until the generator is fixed.

Michele's neck is still healing.

Elisa is trying to get the blood out of her hair when Xavier comes to take her to Michele.

Marco and Glória say they need to figure out how to continue the Selection. Joana and Natália speak out against it.

Michele thanks Elisa for saving her and asks her to take over the Selection. She goes to the group and announces that she's taking over.

Elisa's first test is for groups of two to identify which direction is North. Rafael starts to try to figure it out, using clues from within the room with Artur's help. Just then, Artur gets sick. He insists that he's fine and continues to think through the problem. Artur eventually figures it out and they learn they're right. Artur starts to cough, but again says he's fine.

Eliminated candidates resist leaving. Michele comes to Elisa's defense, saying she put Elisa in charge because she trusts her. Michele is feeling better and will carry out the next test.

Elisa takes a communicator and speaks with André. He asks her what's happening and she tells him about the Selection. She tells him she wants back in the Offshore. She tries to convince him of her innocence, but he doesn't believe her.

Rafael searches for Artur.

**1 Year Earlier**

Rafael goes to his family's home. The real Rafael is angry to see him and takes Artur away. Rafael asks for a chance to talk to them. They fight over whose fault it is and Rafael's mother calls for Division guards to collect a fugitive. Rafael flees only to find that Artur has followed him and wants to go with him. He doesn't want to take Artur, but Artur begs him.

Rafael finds Artur struggling on the floor. He has a fever and Rafael sees the wound on his arm. He reveals that he inserted the implant into his arm to keep it alive. He wants to go to the Offshore. He begs Rafael not to say anything because they'll kick him out.

Rafael sneaks through the supplies in the infirmary. Elisa finds him and he says he was looking for medicine for himself. Elisa knows he's lying and he tells her about Artur. Elisa goes with Rafael to examine Artur. They have to remove the implant. He asks to have it put back in his ear. She removes the implant and says she can't save it because he didn't put it in correctly. They leave Artur to rest and go outside to talk.

Elisa says she has to tell Michele. Rafael begs her not to, saying Artur's a good kid.

André tells Marcela about the Selection. She's angry about it because it means the Shell might survive. He wants to help Elisa, but Marcela refuses.

Michele splits them into teams of three. Artur is surprised not to have been eliminated.

Elisa watches the testing with Michele. The test is expected to eliminate ⅓ of the candidates. Michele announces that each group has to think of a criterion for elimination for someone in the next room. They have to decide what's not acceptable. Joana, Glória, and Artur are faced with Rafael, Marco, and Natália. Rafael wants to eliminate Glória. He doesn't trust her because of her ties to the Church. Marco disagrees. On the other side, they discuss eliminating Rafael. Joana wants to eliminate Marco instead. Michele watches both sides argue. Rafael defends ARtur when the other two want to eliminate him for being young. The other side chooses their criterion to be "being a murderer" to get Marco out. They run out of time. Glória tries to leave, but Michele says the test isn't over. They all have a dark side, but they can only see it reflected in themselves. They didn't choose a criterion for others, but for themselves. Joana's the murderer in their room, so she's eliminated. In the other room, Natália is eliminated as the youngest. Elisa starts to tell Michele something.

Artur celebrates passing. Rafael learns that Artur passed and Glória learns that Marco passed. Natália and Joana are angry and go to leave.

Michele goes to Artur.

Rafael looks for Artur but can't find him.

Michele tells the eliminated candidates they can return when the Shell is back on its feet. She apologizes to Joana for the elimination. Joana doesn't think Michele cares and tells her that her Selection killed Otávio. Michele then tells the approaching Rafael that Artur was told to leave. He begs her to change her mind.

Rafael follows Artur and says he'll take care of him, they'll leave together. Artur is angry with Rafael for telling Elisa and tells Rafael he's rotten.

Rafael drinks and expresses his anger at Elisa for not keeping the secret. She says keeping his secrets led to her having to leave the Offshore. She tells him he's selfish.
