One year prior to the main events of the series, Dr. Evandro is seen about to perform surgery on his own severely wounded wife, Madalena, against the advice of his medical team. The surgery proves ineffective and she dies. Back to the present, Evandro performs surgery on a pregnant woman hit by a car and attempts to treat both her and her baby improvising medical instruments to compensate the lack of adequate tools. Later, electricity goes down and her recovery is compromised, but the doctors manage to hold their own manually and with blood donations. Meanwhile, Carolina makes a boy swallow the gum that was supposedly asphyxiating him. Later, she learns the boy's older brother, who brought him to the hospital, sells drugs, and suspects the boy was actually chocking on cocaine. She also looks after an old samba singer struggling with throat cancer and disappointed with the possibility of having to live his remaining years without cachaça. He succumbs to his disease during surgery.

A man named Valter (Paulo Miklos) arrives with his passed out teenage daughter, Michele and claims she took many tranquilizers. Carolina saves her but notices bruises on her arm. Later, Valter demands to see his daughter and storms in the intensive care unit. Michele is horrified by her father’s approaching and defenestrates, worsening her condition. Carolina talks to her and finally learns Valter abuses her. A corpus delicti examination is performed and the father is taken away by the police. Samuel asks Evandro to sign a document giving thumbs up to the acquisition of a tomograph that is worth half its informed price. He notices it's an over-invoicing scheme and refuses to sign the papers. Samuel convinces a reluctant Evandro to sign them. Evandro and Carolina have sex and discuss Evandro's wife's death and Carolina's past – she reveals she has been cutting herself after constant abuses from her father.

An unnamed, foreign passed out woman, Keisha, hailing from Benin. Charles finds a picture of her with a man and a pamphlet of a pizzeria in her pocket. He heads there and finds out a whorehouse operates nextdoor. He arranges a private room with another girl and learns they are victims of sex trafficking.

Evandro treats some wounds on a woman called Talita and believes she has been physically assaulted by her partner, though she states she simply fell down some stairs. Carolina pressures Evandro to denounce the husband to the authorities, but the doctor does not wish to go against the victim's will. On the next day, Francisco arrives with a knife wound on his chest claiming it was Talita. Carolina tells him she regrets the knife missed his heart and says she will have him arrested. Later, Francisco tells a police officer he was assaulted by two thieves, but Talita arrives and finally reveals that she attacked him on self-defense from his aggressions. A blind man called Romero arrives with his guide dog Astro after both were hit by a car. The team takes the man inside, but the dog is left outside and alone. Later, Evandro and Amir perform surgery on the animal, which recovers and leaves with his owner. Later, Astro comes running back to the hospital and Evandro has it take him to a passed out Romero, who is rushed back to the hospital and saved again. However, Samuel reprehends Evandro for treating an animal in front of the hospital. Madalena's mother informs Samuel she intends to sue Evandro following his failed (and anti-ethical) attempt to save her. Amir, who is revealed to be dating two women who don't know about each other, barely escapes a situation in which both his girlfriends came to the hospital simultaneously. Carolina and Evandro have sex in his apartment, but she finds out about the pictures he's been secretly taking of her and angrily leaves.

A woman called Apolônia (Zezé Motta) arrives complaining of a possible mosquito bite. The doctors investigate and are surprised to find out she is actually carrying a stray bullet in her heart. Following a delicate surgery, they manage to safely remove it from her. Later, she intends to take the 382 steps of the stairway leading up to the Our Lady of Peñafrancia Church and place the bullet at the foot of the saint's image, despite the doctors recommending her not to make such an effort so soon. Evandro approaches her as she walks up the stairs and tells her of a dream he had in which she asked him to place the bullet there. She ends up letting him do it. A man called Maicon (Rafael Losso) brings his wife to the hospital as she undergoes labor. He tells Evandro he suspects he got the HIV virus from a previous relationship and that he may have passed it to his wife (who is unaware of his condition) and, consequently, to his son. Evandro examines him and the suspicion comes true. Maicon reveals his condition to his wife and she angrily tells him to leave. The doctors run some examinations on both the woman and the child and find out they are HIV free. The woman ultimately forgives Maicon. Carolina avoids contact with Evandro following their argument in the end of the previous episode. She treats Teo (Pedro Lamin), a victim of a car accident who wasn't wearing his seatbelt, and spots some bruises on him similar to the ones she caused herself. After he recovers, they have dinner together. Later, Carolina starts talking to Evandro again. Amir narrowly escapes another situation in which both his girlfriends are on the hospital at the same time.

A van crashes and all injured passengers are brought to the hospital, prompting Evandro to summon his entire team to handle all the victims. Carolina, however, is with Teo and ignores all phone calls. As they have sex, he tries to strangle her and she stabs him in self-defense. Then, she brings him to the hospital and secretly treats him in the dressing room. As she leaves the room, Teo sends her footage of them having sex and demands to see her again on the next day or he'll leak it. Among the victims of the van accident is a mature married man who keeps a secret relationship with a younger man and decides to reveal his affair to his wife, who doesn't understand it and angrily leaves. Another victim is an elderly man who swallowed some jewelry. When questioned about this, he reveals he stole them after being fired from a jewelry store in which he worked for decades just before his retirement in order to pay for his wife's medical care. Evandro and Rafael examine the van's driver, who apparently collapsed at the wheel. Meanwhile, a man angrily insults him in the corridor and not even the driver's wife presence stops him from suggesting he was driving under influence. Evandro and Rafael discover the driver had a heart problem that caused his brain to receive no blood, leading him to the collapse. They also discover the man died after being lynched and reveal it to everyone in the hospital. Eventually, the angry man apologizes for his behavior. A man tries to leave his father-in-law in the hospital for treatment, but Evandro believes he is just trying to get rid of the old man to enjoy the weekend and rejects the patient. The man obtains a warrant demanding Evandro to operate on his father-in-law, but the doctor refuses in order to give full attention to the more urgent victims. Later, he is arrested for disobeying the warrant and offers no resistance out of clean consciousness of his choice. Due to his arrest, he misses the first audience of the case regarding the death of his wife.

A carpenter arrives after sawing his thumb off, but asks the team not to reimplant it because he is actually attempting to earn insurance money in order to pay his debts to some loan sharks. Evandro promises him he will be safe in the hospital and indeed foils an attempt on the carpenter's life with the help of the hospital guard. Teo breaks in Carolina's apartment and blackmails her into getting there to see him. Once there, she leaks the footage herself in order to end his control over her. After the images go viral, Samuel suggests she takes some time off until the fuss is over. As she goes home, her father (Luís Melo), who has always been an atheist, reappears after a long time and invites her to the Pentecostal church he founded. Ivaldo, the old man who piratically lives at the hospital, is sent to surgery after a dangerous tumor is found in his axilla. His estranged wife comes to see him and the two reconnect after he survives the surgery, finally allowing him to leave the hospital. Evandro attends the rescheduled hearing session of his case and is confronted with a medical prescription with an abortifacient he supposedly prescribed for Madalena not long before her death, which he doesn't recognize in spite of his signature. Later, Rafael reacts strangely to Samuel's accounts of Evandro's audience and ends up admitting he and Madalena had an affair and that she was pregnant of him, revealing the reason she was seeking an abortion. Amir makes a reservation in a restaurant to have lunch with one of his girlfriends but accidentally invites the other girlfriend to the same place and time. The two meet and find out about Amir's lies before he arrives, but both decide to pretend everything is normal in order to take advantage of him.

The team is unable to save a girl wounded by a stray bullet and the father charges towards a pillar out of insanity after hearing the news, hitting it head first and fainting. When he wakes up, he has no memory of his daughter's death and his wife is reluctant about telling him the truth. When he recovers and is about to leave the hospital, Evandro decides to tell him the truth and he cries. A bride arrives with an open fracture following a car crash on the way to the church. She asks her fiancée to marry her right there in the hospital before anything worse happens and a reluctant Décio arranges for a justice of the peace to go there and officially marry the couple. In another audience regarding Madalena's death, examinations on her remains and video footage of a drugstore reveal she indeed took abortifacients and was pregnant, unbeknownst to both Evandro and his ex-mother-in-law. After the audience, Rafael reveals the truth to Evandro, who responds by punching him in the face. Still suspended from the hospital, Carolina holds a voluntary medical check-up event at her father's church, assisted by Kelly. She notices a bruise in one of the church's employees, Roberta. Later, she witnesses her father abusing the woman and decides to expose him to everyone in the church during a cult.

The hospital is operating at its limit and Evandro tells everyone to return another day for his team will only be able to treat life-threatening cases. They barely save one patient as they run out of oxygen, but after several requests, it is finally delivered to the hospital. Carolina notices the hospital paid five times more for every m³ of oxygen and suspects of over-invoicing, but Samuel reminds her it's either that or they'll start losing patients. Later, at the court room, Evandro is close to having his medical license suspended, but Rafael finally speaks and reveals Madalena suspected the child was his and therefore took the abortifacients which most likely caused her death. Following the audience, Evandro and Madalena's mother share a tearful hug. Amir's girlfriends give him date rape drugs and then film him as he wakes up trapped in an attic without a roof in which he stays for hours and develops burns as a consequence. They also leak the video on the internet. Kelly treats him and they make out. Carolina's father tells her that her mother always knew about his abuses but neither she nor her family did a thing about it because they depended on his money. He also asks her to drop the charges on him, but she refuses and leaves. Back home, she slits her wrists while Evandro buys food at a supermarket and helps a customer with epilepsy. Later, Evandro rescues Carolina and takes her to the hospital, where he performs surgery on her and almost loses her just like he lost Madalena. The father of the man Evandro helped in the supermarket pays him a visit at the hospital and offers him a position at his luxurious hospital, which Evandro accepts. In his new job, Evandro is uncomfortable with the advanced machines facilitating his work. One day, a train accident leaves many people injured and prompts Carolina to call Evandro for additional support. He cancels his appointments for the rest of the day and heads to the hospital.

Before they leave, however, the criminal dies. Fearing for his life and Carolina's, Evandro asks the criminals to take him to the hospital as he injects adrenaline into the thug's heart and pressures it with his hand to buy time and trick the gang into believing he can still be saved.

The criminal's right hand reveals they are actually boyfriends and threatens to kill both doctors for his lover's death. Carolina manages to talk him out of it, but he ends up taking his own life.

Evandro and Carolina get married in a non-religious ceremony. Soon after, they hurry to an apartment where they treat an obese man suffering a heart attack. Due to his size, a crane must be rushed to the neighborhood in order to bring him down to the street and then to the ambulance. At the hospital, he gets worse. Due to his condition, his daughter is forced to cancel her wedding, much to her fiancé frustration. Later, Evandro finds out he has been taking weight loss medication without medical prescription, which ultimately led him to his state. He suggests he takes a bariatric surgery, but he will have to wait too long in the public health system and his daughter is getting married within the month. Evandro then asks his team to help him perform the surgery himself right away so the father has time to recover and attend the wedding. After eating a peace of cake, Samuel passes out. Evandro examines him and reveals he is suffering from diabetes and needs to take care of himself. Décio reveals to Jaqueline that he refused to take the child to adoption and still wants to return it to his mother and asks her to take care of the child for the day. Adalberto, the hospital guard, helps him by tracking the woman and he takes the child back to her, but gives up as soon as he realizes she lives in an abandoned mansion full of drug addicts. The team is introduced to a new member: orthopedist Henrique (Humberto Carrão), who is only used to private medical centers. His first patient is a biker with multiple fractures following a hit-and-run. Henrique becomes increasingly surprised by the lack of infrastructure in the hospital. When the biker's condition worsens, the team is unable to locate Henrique and perform another surgery, but he dies. Henrique later says he was at a local mall having a meal. Meanwhile, a couple arrives at the hospital willing to check on the biker; they are actually the ones who hit him and fled, but are posing as people who first assisted the biker.

The mother whose child is being taken care by Décio goes to the hospital to reclaim her son, but Décio refuses it. He also tries to help her fight her addiction, even though the hospital has no infrastructure for it and ties her to a bed as she fights her drug withdrawal. Later, her former partner comes to collect her and her baby and offers her some drugs to convince her. Décio asks her what she truly wants and she rejects the drugs as the man is taken away by Adalberto.

Carolina's father leaves prison on parole and goes to the hospital to visit her, much to her disgust. He tries to reconnect with her multiple times but keeps getting turned down. Carolina grows increasingly scared and almost cuts herself again. Eventually, Evandro kicks him out of the hospital. Soon after, he is surrounded by three thugs who beat him up, for which he soon returns to the hospital where he undergoes surgery, with Evandro preventing Carolina from taking part of it. However, she enters the room anyway and attempts to help, but the father dies. Later, she asks Evandro if he really did everything he could to save her father despite hating him, which he confirms. Following a tradition set by Evandro, Carolina tries to mark her father's death at the door frame (a procedure taken by Evandro every time a patient dies), but suffers a nervous breakdown and cries. A thug arrives at the hospital following a confrontation with the police. Some cops arrive to bring him in, but the medical team say they'll only release him when they're done. Evandro is insecure about Carolina's mental condition following the unexpected rendezvous with her father, but she insists she performs surgery. After the thug wakes up, he says he overheard her conversation and insinuates he is willing to help her "deal" with her father in return for saving his life and not handing him over to the police. After the father takes the beating, Carolina confronts the thug and reprehends him for ordering his men to do that. Décio and Jaqueline treat Jamile, a transsexual woman formerly named Anderson, whose illegally placed breast prosthesis suffers a rip. She also says she is undergoing unsupervised hormonal treatment and that she left home at the age of 13, fearing her parents' reaction to her sexuality. Jaqueline advises Décio to talk to the girl using his own experience as a gay man hiding his sexuality from his mother. She eventually gives in and asks him to call her parents so they can authorize her adequate hormonal treatment, since she's still a minor. When her parents arrive, they are shocked to see her transformation. The father rejects her outright, but her mother accepts her daughter's sexuality and agrees to sign the authorization if it's for the sake of her daughter's happiness. The state Secretary of Health sends Roberto (Marcelo Serrado), one of their employees, and Renata (Fernanda Torres), a private consultant, to check on the hospital's situation. Renata insinuates the hospital could benefit more from better management than from a mere sum increase, but after she takes a tour around the facilities, she admits the place need more money urgently. Later, Roberto tells Samuel the secretary of health is willing to send some emergency funds to the hospital, but wants to have Renata replace him as the hospital manager.

Carolina takes a bus to the hospital and the vehicle is raided by a thief. A minor conflict arises between the criminal and the driver and the bus falls off a bridge. Evandro and Charles are sent to the accident site and treat the injured, aided by Carolina and Diego (a Medicine student who Carolina befriended during their ride), who only suffered minor injuries. The criminal himself is the last person to be rescued, just before the bus explodes due to a gas leak. At the hospital, Renata introduces new measures such as biometric-controlled doors for the medicine room. She also orders Samuel to expel street food vendor Barão from the hospital area since his presence is against the state's sanitation rules. The meals at the hospital will now be served by an outsourced company. However, Rafael and three patients feel sick after eating the new food and Samuel soon finds out the company has been delivering food with fake expiration dates. Renata confronts Roberto, who reveals they have a scheme in which she gets paid a real for every meal sold. Renata complains that she needs proper infrastructure to work and he promises to provide better equipment for the hospital. He also says she will have to stay there for some time before being nominated for higher positions in the government. A woman tells Evandro she's been feeling strange and that an Internet research revealed she might be really bad. Evandro coldly sends her back home telling her there's nothing to be afraid of. Later, she arrives dead at the hospital. Consumed by guilt, Evandro enters the medicines room and take some pills, resurrecting his addiction.

Evandro sends Leda, an elder woman with inflammation in her gallbladder, to surgery, though she would rather postpone it due to her wedding, scheduled for that day. However, after Renata invites him to join her in a medical fair where she intends to get good equipment for the hospital, he puts Charles in charge of the patient, though he never performed such surgery before. The surgery goes well, but it reveals a pericardial effusion, making Charles even more upset about dealing with it without Evandro's help. Meanwhile, Evandro is disgusted with all the politics and fortunes involved at the event, but ends up signing contracts to buy brand new equipment from Sérgio Vieira, a major businessman in the area with whom Roberto is trying to build corrupt schemes that will benefit Renata too. On his way back to the hospital, Evandro is stuck in traffic and has to instruct Charles via a videocall, but his battery dies at a critical moment. Charles manages to work it out, however, and saves Leda, becoming extremely happy with his performance. An agitated father brings his unconscious son Johnathan to the hospital, saying he had an accident at his school's playground. After some examinations, the team finds it odd that the kid has so many injuries following a simple fall. After the surgery, the father approaches his son and Johnathan becomes a bit agitated. Later, Samuel reveals the school has checked their CCTV and the boy had never been at the playground that day. Carolina deduces the father has been beating the child and prevents him from talking to Johnathan, publicly accusing him of the aggressions at one point. Later, she learns the boy actually fell from a tree after trying to film the girls' toilet, colliding with multiple branches on his way down, and he was just afraid of his father reaction, since he is a constant troublemaker at school. Carolina apologizes to the father, but he is still too angry and says she is crazy, that she shouldn't be a doctor and that he intends to sue her. Later at home, Carolina attempts to cut herself again, but Evandro arrives in time to stop her.

A family prepares a barbecue at their balcony and the daughter falls off of it after trying to collect a kite tangled in some nearby power cables. As the team performs surgery on her, a blood transfusion proves needed but the family is against it for religious reasons. Evandro berates them for putting a religious belief before a child's life and asks Renata to seek legal assistance. Not only does she fail but the family has a lawyer go to the hospital threaten them legally in case they carry on with the transfusion. Evandro in turn is willing to deliberately ignore the family's wish. After an argument, the girl's mother gives thumbs up for the transfusion. As the girl receives the blood, her father goes to his church to pray. At first reluctant about coming back to his family, he ends up reuniting with them just after the daughter reawakens. Jaqueline and Charles treat a homeless, speechless man who arrived at the hospital after being brutally assaulted by security guards at a local mall. Eventually, he leaves his bed when nobody's watching and makes a drawing of the family at the wall of an abandoned area of the hospital. Later, Charles and Jaqueline are able to locate the homeless man's brother, Pedro, who reveals he is Elton, an artist suffering from severe schizophrenia. Pedro then takes him back to his life. Renata acquires state-of-the-art equipment and items for the hospital, but the team find them too expensive. Henrique tells her he is aware that Renata is probably earning commission for buying such items. She then decides to add him to the scheme as a form of convincing him to dedicate more time to the hospital, as he is currently working at four other places as well. Evandro drugs himself with more medicines and suffers an attack, but Samuel aids him. Carolina meets him the next day, asleep at the hospital and with a bottle of medicines in his hand. She questions him later and says she is willing to help him fight his addiction.

Evandro, who had just arrived home after his shift, rushes back to the hospital with Carolina to help the team, against her advice for him not to work so much without rest. At the hospital, he asks Renata to liberate some recently acquired equipment but she is reluctant because they haven’t been inspected yet. She ends up accepting only if Evandro himself signs the documents taking responsibility for using non-inspected material. Among the collapse victims is Maria Inês, a 14-year old girl who finds out she's pregnant during examinations. Her boyfriend Edinaldo pays her a visit and asks her mother to marry her. Later, Maria Inês starts feeling contractions and gives birth prematurely, but both she and the baby survive and are safe. Other victims include Gelson and Leila, the couple seen earlier in the episode. As soon as Gelson's wife Geisy finds out about the affair, she sets fire to his genitalia. Gelson is quickly saved and Geisy is taken to the precinct. Mariano, Leila's husband, forgives her for the affair, but it is soon found out that he was illegally reforming his apartment, which turned out to be the cause for the collapse, and he is taken by the law, as well. Another victim is Therezinha, an 80-year old lady who suffers a severe head injury and starts looking for her "little boy" after being treated. The team initially think she’s just confused due to the injury, but later a dog shows up at the hospital and they realize it is the real "little boy". Samuel pressures Braga, an acquaintance working in the health industry, to reveal information about Renata's schemes and later goes confront her about it. She says she is indeed getting 10% from every equipment sold to the hospital and that she doesn't consider it wrong because her official salary is too low and the hospital is finally getting the technology it needs. After he leaves her room, he picks up his phone and pauses a recorder he had secretly turned on before talking to her.

Renata fires Samuel, who responds by showing her the audio he recorded in the previous episode and threatening to go public with it. Renata counter-threatens him with requests for over-invoiced new equipment signed by Evandro. She consults Roberto about it and he instructs her to "stop" him however she can. Later, they have another talk and Samuel suffers a hyperglycemia attack. Renata deliberately refrains from applying him some insulin and takes a while to call medical help. The team manages to save him, but Renata secretly switches his sodium bicarbonate with potassium chloride and leaves the hospital with the computer containing the CCTV files. Soon after, Carolina inadvertently applies the sabotaged medication to him, causing him to die. Evandro notices the medication's sabotaging, but thinks it was just Carolina's mistake, despite her protests. Frustrated with his lack of trust in her, Carolina places their wedding ring in his hands (imitating a gesture involving a couple she had witnessed earlier in the episode) and leaves Evandro.

Renata tells Carolina Samuel's daughter is willing to take his death to the local ethics committee unless Carolina is transferred to another hospital, but Carolina insists she is innocent and refuses. Renata then asks Henrique to convince Carolina to accept the transference. Henrique initially refuses and proposes she allows an investigation, but she threatens him by insinuating an investigation would reveal his part in schemes. Carolina investigates the logs of the medication room and finds out Renata was there just before Samuel died. She confronts her about it but Renata comes up with convincing excuses. Carolina confirms she will not accept a transfer. Laís, a girl suffering from severe caught, is examined by the team, but the images' resolution is too poor for a safe diagnosis. Carolina suggests she is transferred to make sure Laís is not seriously ill, but Décio thinks she can be treated at the hospital. Due to Carolina's supposed mistake with Samuel's medications, nobody trusts her analysis and prefer to do as Décio says. Furthermore, Renata tells Laís' mother about Carolina's conduct and the mother requests that her daughter is treated by another doctor. After Laís' condition worsens, confirming Carolina's diagnosis, Evandro is too agitated due to his drug withdrawal and believes Carolina won't be able to save the child without his assistance. In the end, the girl is saved and the mother apologizes to Carolina for not trusting her.

Barão proposes she moves in to live with him and his wife. Later, instructed by Evandro, he brings back his food car to the hospital, but parks it just outside of the hospital jurisdiction so Renata cannot force him out again. After overhearing Barão and his wife arguing about her moving to their house, Ivone attempts a second suicide by secretly cutting the wires keeping her alive, but the team saves her again. Barão invites her to participate in his business by preparing some of the food he'll be selling on the street. At home, Carolina disposes of all her cutting objects.

Décio takes Evandro to a mutual aid group for drug addicts, but he feels uncomfortable and unconvinced about the meeting's effectiveness and leaves. Décio later insists he carries on with his treatment. When a drunk young man is brought to the hospital and his mother expresses frustration with his constant drinking issues, Evandro suggests she takes him to rehab. A man is brought to the hospital after a backhoe loader accident and has to be put into surgery to treat his leg. His wife arrives at the hospital and says she does routine hemodialysis and is not able to work, so it's up to him to make ends meet. Mid-surgery, the team runs out of basic equipment and have to amputate his leg to save his live. Henrique is particularly frustrated with the outcome and has an argument with Renata, who blames Carolina for the incident, believing that, as the one in charge of the surgery, she should have checked the equipment prior to the procedures. Henrique pays Carolina a visit to reveal everything he knows about Renata's schemes and to confess his own involvement, as Evandro records it with his cellphone. On the following day, he is arrested and Evandro is taken too, due to him inadvertently having signed the purchase of over-invoiced material. The team discusses the situation and things get worse when a skywalk collapses and all the victims are brought to the hospital. Frustrated with the hospital's condition, the wife of one of the victims decides to buy equipment herself so her husband and other victims are properly treated. Carolina visits Samue'’s apartment with his daughter in search for evidence against Renata and later does the same at the hospital. Décio finds her there and mentions Samuel would always send reminders to his own answering machine. Carolina recovers it and manages to retrieve the recording in which Renata confesses her schemes and admits she tricked Evandro into signing the bogus purchase. Evandro is consequently freed and the police goes after Renata. She tries to escape from the hospital, but the man who lost his leg earlier in the episode shoots her in the stomach, blaming her schemes for his leg amputation. She is saved by the team, but they have to remove her lungs due to the hospital's lack of equipment. Evandro returns to the mutual aid group with Carolina and Décio and speaks for the first time. After Renata recovers, she confesses all her crimes at court, including Samuel's murder, and the hospital is subsequently closed.
