Globo listed five main suspects this time, Celina (Malu Galli), Heleninha (Paolla Oliveira), Maria de Fátima (Bella Campos), Marco Aurélio (Alexandre Nero) and César (Cauã Reymond). There is still a chance that Odete is alive, a theory circulating on social media.
In the original version it was different. Everyone was a suspect. The decision that Leila (Cássia Kis at the time) would be the killer was only made on the day of the screening. Gilberto Braga wanted someone who hadn’t leaked and who was unexpected.
Already Anything goes 1988/89, Leila arrives home and goes to her room with Marco Aurélio. She finds the bed turned over, as if it had been used by a couple. She puts pressure on the maid until she finds out if she was being cheated on.

The employee says that Marco Aurélio and Leila are hiding in an apartment. The next day, Leila follows her husband. He is in this apartment arguing with Odete Roitman who discovered that she was being robbed by him.
Odete feels sick and goes to the bathroom. Leila arrives just in time and thinks that the person there is Fátima. She nervously enters the apartment and asks “where is she”. Marco Aurélio tells her to stay quiet and get out of there. Leila says she has never been so humiliated, looks at the gun nearby and picks it up, pointing it at her husband.
She says she wants to shoot Fátima. When she hears the noise of Odete leaving the bathroom, Leila turns and shoots three times without thinking, three times. Odete dies. Marco Aurélio opens the door and shows that it was Odete Roitman. Leila is terrified.
