Episode 3 of Back to 15: Season 2 delves deeper into the time-traveling duo's quest to restore the timeline. The episode kicks off with Luiza stepping back into the warmth of her home, where she engages in a lively, affectionate sparring match with her family. Anita, still feeling a twinge of awkwardness following their passionate kiss, nonchalantly rates it a six out of ten, much to Joel's consternation.
As they ponder their next mission, Anita takes a moment to steal another kiss from Henrique before turning to her cousin Carol, inviting her to join her. Carol, hopelessly smitten with Henrique, can barely contain her excitement, gushing over how he cradles his guitar with such reverence. Meanwhile, Joel conjures up a scheme to amass a fortune by placing bets on the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He flips open his trusty notebook, revealing a meticulously crafted list of predictions: France knocking out Brazil, Italy lifting the cup, and even Zidane's notorious headbutt on Materazzi.
When Joel attempts to integrate himself into a group of musicians, they shut him out, still smarting from the damage he wrought on Henrique's guitar in the preceding episode. Seeking redemption, Joel proposes a daring pact: he'll create a music video for them. If the video falls flat, he vows to fade into obscurity forever. But if it strikes a chord, they must grant him forgiveness. Henrique adds a twist: if the video bombs, Joel must fork over the cash for a brand-new guitar.
A menacing group of bullies shatters Joel's camera, prompting Anita, Luiza, and their circle of friends to swiftly intervene. As Bruna suffers an injury, Anita is compelled to take center stage and mount her skateboard. Joel persuades her that this bold move is vital for their shared mission. To everyone's astonishment, Anita reveals herself as a skateboarding prodigy, and the resulting footage becomes an overnight sensation. Henrique and Joel finally bridge their differences and reconcile.
Elsewhere, Carol and Douglas share a heartwarming, intimate moment, while Anita and her father pitch a tent in their front garden, where she vows to take him fishing in the near future. Meanwhile, Luiza and her mother find reconciliation as they watch Anita and her father's camping escapade unfold. During a poignant conversation with her father, Anita receives invaluable advice that leaves her deep in thought and contemplation.
The episode draws to a close with Anita reflecting on her extraordinary journey and the profound impact of her time-travel experiences. She acknowledges that despite altering the past, certain facets of her life remain steadfast and unchanged. The enduring bond she shares with her family, the cherished friendships she has forged, and the invaluable lessons she has learned transcend time itself.
