Egídio orders Marçal to kill João Pedro; gives a gun to the foreman. José Inocêncio and Aurora love each other, passionately. Bento dismisses Damião as an employee, gives him a sum of money and returns his gun, reinforcing that he expects him to protect his family. Mariana instigates Marçal against Egídio and advises him to leave. João Pedro tells Zinha that he only didn't kill Egídio because of Sandra.
