A Desalmada: Rafael survives surgery amid murder suspicions

In the latest developments of the telenovela ‘A Desalmada’, Rafael survives a critical surgery to extract a bullet, though his condition remains grave. During his recovery, he repeatedly calls out the name ‘Fernanda’, causing confusion for Isabela.

Suspicion surrounds the motive for the shooting. Fernanda, learning that Letícia is the majority shareholder of the meatpacking company, becomes convinced that Rafael is responsible for Santiago’s death. Meanwhile, Júlia suspects the attack was an attempt to silence Rafael regarding Isabela’s infidelity. However, Pietro presents evidence placing Rafael and Isabela in the capital on the day of Santiago’s murder, suggesting his innocence.

Other plot points include Otávio’s demand to find the shooter and his desire for Isabela to marry Rafael and move to Italy. Additionally, German suspects that someone is manipulating prices paid to small producers to defraud Otávio.
