## Plot

A nerve-wracking trip through a dark tunnel leaves Joana haunted by a vision from her past. Ezequiel receives an unexpected visitor.

## Summary

The candidates insert their coins and receive drinks. Joana watches them and flips a coin around in her hand.

In a flashback, Joana hides things she has stolen. She's attacked in the street by some men. She tries to fight them off, but they grab her and a third man confronts her with a bag she's stolen. It belongs to Gerson. They push her down on the ground, but then decide to let her go.

As the other candidates talk and drink, Joana continues to flip her coin around.

Ezequiel speaks to Nair, who tells him Aline was sent by Matheus. She warns him that if they find something, her vote won't help him. He tells her there's nothing to find.

The remaining candidates are waiting and play a game where they try to throw bottle caps into a tube. Rafael offers Fernando his spot on the Offshore if he gets it on his first try. Fernando aims, but then throws the cap at Rafael instead. As they laugh about that, Joana easily throws her cap into the tube. Then she warns Rafael to watch himself.

Ezequiel takes his broken glasses and repairs them. While he's working, there's a knock at the door. It's Aline, who's there to watch the next test with him.

The candidates look down and see some candidates who have bene eliminated. Fernando, Ágata, Michele, Marco, Rafael, and Joana are called to go next. Denise explains to them that all they have to do is cross the tunnel as a group. They quickly enter. They have five minutes. Denise wishes them luck.

Inside the tunnel, they see their time ticking down. It's dark and they begin the walk. They hear a hissing noise and start to hear voices.

Ezequiel explains to Aline that there's gas in the tunnel making them hallucinate and they must overcome their paranoia to get out.

With 2:30 left, Joana gets to the end and begs to be let out. She's reminded that it's a group activity, so she only passes if the whole group passes. She hears voices telling her she's a killer and a horrible person. Joana tells the others that what they're hearing and seeing is because of the gas and they need to get through it. One by one, Joana gets the others to the end. The gas stops and the door opens. Denise congratulates them and says the gas will wear off soon.

Ezequiel asks Cássia to find out more about Joana. Aline's not sure about the test they've just done.

The candidates are shown to the dormitory. Marco is grateful they had Joana instead of Lucas or they'd all be gone. Rafael asks Joana what she saw, but she denies seeing anything. In the dorm, Joana climbs into a bed. Ágata is still freaking out from the test. An agent comes in and tells them to give her time and it'll wear off. Fernando asks Michele what she saw. He remembers her saying something about her brother. She kisses him to stop his questions.

Ezequiel and Cássia talk about Aline.

In the bunks, the other candidates are surprised that Marco didn't lead their team to victory. They discuss the Offshore and how little they know about it. One of the candidates claims to have a connection to the Founding Couple, but the others don't believe it.

Joana watches the men who attacked her. After they leave their place, she breaks in. She steals the backpack and finds a gun in a drawer, which she also takes. She holds the gun as she goes to leave. She's startled by a toy car and fires, hitting and killing a young child.

Joana sees a hand coming around the corner as she sits in her bunk. She gets up and follows a fleeting figure to the bathroom. In a bathroom stall, Joana sees the child with the toy car. She apologizes, but then she's attacked by Ágata, who starts to strangle her, still under the effects of the gas. Rafael watches for a moment but then stops Ágata.

Ezequiel gets an alert and goes to investigate. He likes to Cássia and says he set it off by mistake and he'll go reset it. In the hallway, he meets up with a kid, who says he's there because he's hungry.

Ezequiel erases all the footage of the kid.

Ezequiel helps the kid wash his hands. Then he and the kid sit down to eat. He asks Augusto if he was waiting for him. Ezequiel says he couldn't come because things got difficult. Someone is watching him. He might not be able to come visit as often as he did before. Augusto says he understands. Ezequiel gives Augusto a present, the glasses he fixed. Augusto puts them on and looks around in wonder.

In flashback, Joana goes to Valéria in a panic. Joana tells her she she messed up and asks if she's still doing registrations. Joana admits that she was never registered because when there's no one taking care of you, you don't get registered. Valéria says she can do it. It's not easy. Joana says they'll kill her and begs for help. Valéria tells Joana to come with her. She explains to Joana how the registration works and does the surgery to implant it. Then Valéria scans it and shows her that it calls her Joana Coelho, the name of the girl whose implant it is, a girl who has died. Joana thanks her.

Joana wakes up and Valéria asks her if she killed Gerson's son. There's a bounty out for her. Joana says it was an accident. Valéria orders her out.

Rafael tells Joana that Ágata is asleep and asks if she feels better. Joana tells Rafael that she saw a kid. Rafael sees her scar and tells her she's not a bad person. She tells him he doesn't know anything about her. Rafael says he feels it. He wants to form a real alliance now since he knows she won't turn him in. He tells her he doesn't care what she did and doesn't want to know. He feels that she's a very good person and she's the only one who doesn't.

Ezequiel lets Augusto play with some blocks. There's a knock at the door, so he hides Augusto and lets Aline in. She notices he has two plates out and asks if he has company. He says he knows why she's there and who sent her. She tells him there's no room for lies or secrets, then leaves him to relax. Before she goes, she asks if it's normal for someone to leave the building during the Process. He says it's not. Once she's gone, he tells Augusto he has to get him out of there. He helps Augusto get out of the building and tells him he can never come there again. He gives Augusto a hug and sends him out.

Michele and Fernando can't sleep. They hold hands from their beds for a moment and then Michele reminds him they can't lose focus. They must concentrate on passing. That doesn't mean she didn't enjoy it.

Joana peeks down at Rafael, who's on the bunk below her. She thanks him.

Augusto cradles his glasses and sleeps by a fire.

Joana wakes up. She gets out of bed and wanders. Fernando follows her. She finds a wall that wasn't there yesterday, the way they came in. The other candidates wake up and Fernando tells them they're blocked in. Joana opens a vent and calls up into it.
