## Plot

As Rafael races to score a spot on the Inland squad, flashbacks recap his first year in the Offshore. Fernando reluctantly coaches Process hopefuls.

## Summary

Rafael is searching for a member of the Cause. As he searches, he gets grabbed from behind and choked. An alarm goes off. The simulation is ended. Rafael wants to try again but Marcela tells him no. He's desperate to get on an Inland group, but Marcela tells him she won't send someone who isn't prepared. He asks her to pull strings, but she says she won't and wonders why he wants to go to the Inland so bad.

**6 Days Until Process 105**

Marcela makes an announcement about those leaving for the Inland for the start of the Process. Rafael is upset not to be included.

**Offshore: Day 1**

Rafael watches Michele being taken away.

In flashback, Ivana tells Rafael his first priority in the Offshore is to make a radio to contact the Cause.

Rafael struggles to build a radio. He gets frustrated and breaks it. He turns on a burner on his stove and puts his hand in it.

Rafael gets his hand treated. He says he was just clumsy. His hand is treated and bandaged. He speaks to the woman who healed him. She has other jobs, but she also treats injuries. Rafael asks if Michele is there because she was taken away after they arrived. The woman says that's Process love. People mistake other things for feelings of love. The woman asks if Rafael did that on purpose to find Michele and he denies it. The woman looks up Michele and says she's at the RTC and she'll take him there.

Rafael talks to Michele and asks when she'll be discharged because he needs her help. He has instructions to make a radio, but he can't find the right components. Michele says they shouldn't be talking about it. She tells him she's no longer with the Cause. They lied to her. Her brother is there, alive, and he needs her. Rafael can't believe her. She tells him they deserve to live the life they want.

Antônio Carvalho broadcasts over the radio about Process 105. Fernando is among those listening. Glória steps onto the stage and starts playing a violin.

Fernando talks to two kids who are ready to start their Process, Glória and Ariel. They want his help training for the Process. He doesn't want to get involved, but wishes them luck. Glória pleads with him again to help, saying without her, he'd still be living in the sewers. Fernando asks if she's sure she wants to learn about the Process. She says she is, so he agrees to teach her.

Silas is working on the bomb. He sends Joana to get materials for the detonator. Joana wants to come up with a better plan instead. Something that won't hurt anyone. He says other plans haven't worked. He's tired of failing. He loses patients to small injuries that would be easily cured Offshore. They die because they're on the wrong side. Joana says using a bomb is sinking to their level. He says if she has a better plan, he'll listen. Otherwise, she should do what she's told. She says she's busy now, coming up with a better option.

Another man takes Rafael to show him the wonders of the Offshore. They go to a beach area. It's the "Pro-sex" Álvaro is the leader. He wishes them all luck. They put a contact in Rafael's eye and ask him a series of questions about what he wants. He then meets a girl who is an 87% match to him. He's not interested and quickly leaves. He walks down to the beach, where he sees the doctor who treated him. Rafael isn't sure the process will work for him. He just wanted to say hi on his way out. They decide to check and find they're a 1.4% match. She wonders why they match up so poorly. She thinks he must be into something really weird. Despite this, they end up hooking up. In the morning, he sees she has an antique toaster. It's the only one in the Offshore. She encourages Rafael to enjoy the Offshore. Elisa leaves, but tells Rafael he can stay if he likes. Once she's gone, he opens up her toaster. Inside is a part he needs and he takes it.

Back at his place, he uses the piece from the toaster and puts together the radio. He tries to send out a message, but doesn't get any response.

Elisa and Rafael talk about failing his test and not going to the Inland. She says them being apart for some time will be good for them. She likes missing him.

Fernando pretends to be interviewing Glória as part of the Process. Glória talks about her family. Her father never gets up and her mother left them and tried to kill Glória. Her mother always said that she wouldn't pass because she was her father's daughter. Fernando tells her she passed to the next phase and she leaves crying.

Ezequiel welcomes Michele back to the Process and tells her they have a lot to do.

Rafael wakes up and tries to use the radio again. He says there's an emergency and tells them Michele has defected and can't be trusted. Rafael is shocked when Elisa wakes up and finds him. He tells her he's trying to contact his family. He wanted to let them know he's okay. She tells him he can't communicate by radio because they block all frequencies in the Offshore. He offers to destroy the radio right in front of her, but she just leaves to finish packing. She promises not to report him.

Fernando is about to start the next test for those practicing.

Rafael hears an announcement that there's two hours until departure. Rafael goes to run a new simulation to try to pass. Marcela tries to stop him, but he says he wants to go back because his girlfriend Michele is and he wants to protect her. When that doesn't work, he says he wants to prove himself. She says she'll let him join if he can get the target in record time and she holds the record.

Fernando instructs them on having to make nine cubes, though his are slightly different.

Rafael goes through his test. He has 90 seconds left.

As time runs out on the cubes, Ariel spills water to sabotage Glória. Glória is angry about the cheating, but Fernando says Glória is eliminated.

Marcela questions Rafael's decision in the simulation, but it works and he captures the target in time. Marcela tells him to go home and pack. Rafael runs home and excitedly tells Elisa he passed. He finds that she's missing and the place has been ransacked. The radio is gone and Rafael gets attacked from behind.

Rafael wakes up and is being held by several men who are holding him. They ask who he works for and he says Marcela. They call him a traitor and tell him he should have told them the truth. They have Elisa and tell him to admit he's an infiltrator or they'll kill her. When he maintains that he doesn't know anything, they shoot Elisa. An alarm goes off and Marcela tells him now he can go home and pack. She had to make sure all her soldiers were hers and not spies from Ezequiel. She appreciated his coldness.

Elisa asks him if he passed. He holds her.

Glória thinks Fernando did the test simulations to convince her not to go through the Process. He says he just wanted to make sure she knew what to expect. He doesn't want her to be naive like he was. He felt the same way she did and he wants her to be prepared so she doesn't end up like him. She asks him to tell her more about what he saw there. He starts to tell her.

Rafael takes the transport to the Inland with Elisa.

Joana goes to Fernando and asks him how he'd stop the Process if he could. She wants his help finding an alternative to the bombing. The only way to stop it is to come up with an alternative. They only have five days.
