Chapter 02: Shock

**Chapter 02: Shock** is the second episode of Season Four. It is preceded by Chapter 01: Moon and is followed by Chapter 03: Fire.

## Plot

After a surprise announcement from André, Michele begins training for a different kind of mission. Verônica escorts Joana to a secret meeting.

## Summary

Antônio preaches in the Inland, telling of a present from the Offshore. Michele and Xavier are secretly watching as well. It's a window into the Offshore, so they can see paradise. The clips show the group from the Shell and the crowd wonders about them. Then André comes on to tell them the Process for the year will begin tomorrow, earlier than usual. He welcomes 20 year olds to come in, even those who removed their implants. They'll be forgiven. He awaits the worthy.

As they leave, Michele and Xavier realize the Shell will lose credibility. They're not sure they'll be able to get the turbine in. Xavier says they can invade the Process building. They just need a 20 year old. Michele asks Xavier if he would because he's 20. He's reluctant to try it, but she says he's the only person she trusts with it.

Nair explains that they have the same goal: to take down André. Joana is surprised to see he's out of control and imprisoning those who disagree with him. The Council is willing to negotiate, but he isn't. If she helps them release the people in the RTC, they can take down André. She doesn't know how to do that. If someone tries to enter, their implant will paralyze them. Joana and the others don't have implants so they're immune. They can deactivate it and liberate the prisoners. If she helps, they'll take care of her. Joana instead suggests they remove their own implants. She realizes they don't want to do that and lose the privileges of the Offshore. They ask again and she says she will only if they end the Process forever. She notes their silence and then leaves.

André tells the others to prepare for the Process. Ariel is among his closest followers.

Xavier waits in line for his registration. He hesitates before entering. He's re-implanted.

Xavier remembers people returning from their failed Processes. They talk about his lack of luck as a Toledo.

Michele tells Xavier she thinks he might not be the best choice to go. Glória comes in. Michele knows that the mission failed yesterday because of one of them. She wants one of them to admit to being against the plan. She gives them 30 seconds to tell her. They debate over what they saw and did. At the end of the time, Michele asks Glória to leave them alone. Once Glória is gone, Michele says she believes Xavier, but he couldn't defend himself. Glória passed the test, but he didn't. He needs to be prepared if he's going to infiltrate the Process. She's training him. He's relieved that this wasn't for real. She tells him what happened with her and Bruna.

Artur and Ricardo argue with a woman who got her implant put back in while Marcela secretly watches. Marcela asks Glória why the Process got moved up, but Glória refuses to tell her anything. She knows Glória sent her the message, but Glória says she's not a traitor.

Michele works closely with Xavier, practicing for the interview as she did with the old man. She gives him an object that he can pretend has significance, but will throw it away for the Process. They then go out and observe people. She then has him practice his breathing to stay calm while he assembles the cubes.

Joana relives the memories again.

Rafael fixes a radio so it'll make enough noise that they can't be heard. Joana comes in and brushes Natália off.

Marco finds a secret room underneath the porch. He finds more of his mother's paintings, including one of him and her.

Candidate around the Inland leave for their Process. Michele tells Xavier it will work out.

Inside the Process building, Xavier changes and the others figure out he's a Toledo.

André speaks to the candidates and encourages them to do whatever it takes.

Xavier enters his interview and is quickly eliminated. After he's eliminated, he begs to be let in and accidentally reveals that he must complete his mission. When she asks him about that, he covers for himself and she passes him to the next round.

Elisa reports that the turbine still wasn't there for the second day in a row. They're behind on their mission. They need to make an alternative plan. Joana says there's no alternative and leaves in anger.

Natália follows Joana out onto the beach and tries to talk to her. Natália knows it has something to do with Verônica. She explains what she knows and Natália wants to take it to the others. It could be their best chance.

Michele tells Glória that Xavier left in shame. They have a tense conversation.

Xavier and the other candidates are told they need a partner for their next test. Xavier is paired with Pedro. They are strapped into chairs with their backs to each other.

Denise questions André using this test first, but André says it's necessary.

Ariel explains that they're in electric chairs. They can lower their own pain, but their partner has to compensate. The total must remain the same. The test starts. Pedro lowers his pain and Xavier has to amp his up to compensate. Xavier then has to drop his back down, but Pedro can't increase his, so Xavier is forced to go back up.

The Council discusses Joana's offer. One member wants to get rid of the sterilization. They worry about the kind of candidates André will bring in.

Xavier realizes that Pedro has passed out. He reaches back and lowers Pedro's shock, forcing him to increase his own. The test ends and Ariel tells them they passed.

Denise is monitoring a test and tries to cancel one because both candidates passed out. André stops her, saying that only lets weak people in.

Michele gets the turbine and leaves with it. Glória watches her go.

The group argues over the Council's offer. Elisa wants to do it, but the others don't agree. Verônica comes to the door and says they're willing to negotiate the end of the Process.

Joana asks Verônica why she wanted to come to the Offshore when she was 20. She doesn't have much of an answer. Joana asks if she left something behind. Verônica realizes she's being tested and says she and Joana are a lot alike, an assertion Joana denies. Joana says the offshore sabotages the Inland and the Process separates families. Verônica admits that she left family behind. She tells her that André's Process has begun, so they need to get into the RTC soon.

Xavier wakes up. Pedro's in the next bed and thanks him for what he did. Xavier drops the necklace. He picks it up and throws it away.

Michele sneaks into the Process building and remembers finalizing the plan with Xavier.

Joana returns to the group and explains what the Council wants. She says she has faith in Verônica.

Glória brings Marcela food and asks her what she'll get if she helps Marcela. Marcela reminds her of her Process and says there could be one more test for her, meaning her Process isn't quite over.
