## Plot

Glória whips up support for her campaign, leading to chaos at the Shell. Marco resorts to desperate measures when he runs out of food for his son.

## Summary

**One Year Earlier**

Marco comes home and reads aloud the letter he wrote for his son, which he now realizes is false. He tells Larissa the militia disbanded. The house is no longer his and so he's taking his son and leaving. Larissa tries to stop him, asking how he'll provide for his son, but he says he'll raise his son anywhere but there.

Marco and his son arrive at the Shell. The others are shocked to see him. He expresses regret for what he has done. He gets down on his knees with difficulty and she welcomes him and his son in. She tells everyone else to get back to work.

Marco meets Glória. He claims not to have a last name when she asks for it.

Marco gives Mauricio a little bit of food and hides away the rest of it. Glória comes over and explains her plan, but he's not interested. They argue and then she leaves.

Michele and Rafael finish their repairs to the generator. Rafael pulls the lever and the power is restored. Xavier takes advantage of the power to make an announcement to everyone else.

Marco finds the last of the food missing. He realizes someone has stolen it and he has nothing to feed his son.

Glória uses the radio to talk to the eliminated Shell members. She was there when they all entered the Shell and when they all left. Artur joins the crowd as Glória rallies them all to return to the Shell and take what's theirs. The march forward together.

André and Marcela see the crowd and Marcela leaves to tend to something in the Offshore.

Xavier learns about the crowd incoming and goes to warn others.

Michele and Rafael learn what Glória has told the others and Michele defends her decision to Rafael, saying she couldn't let the Offshore take control. They don't have much time before the crowd arrives.

The residents of the Shell create a barricade to keep the crowd out. The crowd arrived and demands to be allowed in. Inside, Michele denies having rejected an offer from the Offshore. The crowd runs forward and works to get in.

Marco coaches Mauricio to go up to a man for food. He watches from a distance and secretly steals some food before going to get Mauricio. Once they're away, Marco gives Mauricio some food. The man he stole from confronts him, so he tells Mauricio to run before the guy beats him up.

Joana confronts Glória about working with the Offshore. The crowd forces Joana and Natália out, saying they want the Offshore's involvement.

It's quiet inside the Shell for a moment before the door is rammed.

Marco brings Mauricio to see Larissa. She sends Mauricio to play. She tells Marco he did the right thing because Mauricio belongs there. She offers him medicine, but he says he's just dropping Mauricio off. He gives her a letter for Mauricio, a new one for when he gets older.

**Offshore Hospital**

A council member is ill and Marcela checks on him. He says he just felt a little sick. He tells Marcela he hates this place and has done everything he can to avoid dying in a place like that. He's Marcela's father and it made him sick to see the list of people who ripped out their implants, including his great-grandson, the last Álvares. She promises that she's working on it. They stop speaking abruptly when the doctor returns.

The crowd continues to ram the door. Michele leaves and Rafael follows her. She's turning on the security system. He tries to talk her out of it, but she does it anyway.

Glória sees what is happening and warns the others to get back.

Michele says it's just a little shock, but Rafael knows that's not true.

Marco walks forward through the crowd outside. He reaches the front and then continues to walk forward. He attacks the door with his cane.

Larissa reads Marco's letter, which tells him he needs to work for what he wants.

Marco forces the door open and calls the others forward.

Michele turns on the security system, which sends Marco flying backward. Rafael then breaks into the room and turns it right back off.

Glória goes to Marco, who appears dead. She starts to cry, but then Marco wakes up. He tells them the system is down now and asks what they're waiting for.

Rafael warns Michele that the crowd is coming and says they have to leave right now.

Marco enters the Shell and asks where Michele is.

Rafael asks Michele if there's another way out and she says there's a trap door.

Glória tells the residents no harm will come to them as it was all Michele's doing.

Michele and Rafael race forward. Michele goes toward the door, but Rafael can't leave without Elisa. She gives him the ring and tells him to find Elisa and they'll all leave together.

Glória tells the residents about the Offshore's promise to help them.

Rafael finds Elisa, who refuses to leave with him, even when he reminds her of what will happen to her if the Division finds her. She actually likes the idea of having her memory wiped. Rafael reluctantly leaves without her.

Rafael realizes someone's following him and goes to hide, but hurts himself. He contacts Michele and tells her he's not going to make it. He tells her to go without him, which she does. She exits into the desert and then starts running.

Joana and Natália walk through the desert and find an abandoned bus. They use a bit of cloth from the collector to get some water. Joana blames herself for what has happened because she told Glória about the Offshore's offer. Joana says Silas was right not to let her join the Cause. She admits to having pushed Silas into the frog pit. Trusting people leads to things going wrong for her. Natália tells Joana she's a good person now who cares about other people. Natália leans in to kiss Joana, but Joana pulls away. Natália suggests going back to the Shell and stealing their generator, but Joana doesn't want to fight anymore. Natália is upset with her and walks away into the desert.

Glória contacts Marcela and tells her they took the Shell. Marcela asks what the residents of the Shell want.

The crowd chants for the Offshore. Marco announces that Michele has fled and the Shell is theirs. Glória gives him the communicator and he listens to Marcela tell him that in 24 hours, the Division will arrive with what they need and will take over the Shell. Glória tells the crowd that Marco is an Álvares. They start to chant his name over and over.
