Episode Title:
Etude of Crimson Inconstancy.
Episode Description:
Michiko and Hatchin reach the tomato production plant, where they eventually meet Elis in her office. Elis, who is aware that the two are searching for Hiroshi, unexpectedly kisses Michiko to throw her off guard. Elis explains that Hiroshi ran away after knowing that Michiko was coming for him. Michiko is unsettled by the fact that Hiroshi came onto Elis first when he worked as a farmhand at the plant. Elis, after recalling that Hiroshi saw the news about Michiko breaking out of prison and abducting Hatchin from her adoptive family, informs Michiko and Hatchin that Hiroshi is now in São Paraíso. When Atsuko and Ricardo finally reach the plant, Michiko and Hatchin take the elevator and travel down the shaft to evade, while Elis sets off smoke in the building to cover the security cameras as a distraction. Elis helps Michiko and Hatchin escape the plant from the basement, but she later tells Atsuko and Ricardo that the two are headed to São Paraíso.
