In the fifth episode of Season 2 of "Back to 15," Adult Anita finds herself amidst the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, where fatefully, she reconnects with Camilla, a fellow writer whose passion for the craft has never waned. Camilla drops a bombshell: Imperatriz, Anita's beloved hometown, stands on the brink of being sold. This revelation ignites a storm of conscience within Anita, inspiring her younger self to embark on a mission to return home and salvage the cherished house that holds so many memories.
Upon her return, Anita steps into a scene quite unlike she'd left. Her mother has transformed parts of their home into a bustling yoga studio, renting out rooms to accommodate eager practitioners. Moreover, she encounters Joel, who unveils his own journey and heartfelt decision to wait for her in Imperatriz for a span of six months. Despite Anita's lingering hesitance to venture forth once more, Joel persuades her of the paramount importance of her mission, reigniting her resolve.
SISET, once a beacon of intellectual and artistic vibrancy, now languishes in a state of neglect. Carol, now the school's gym teacher, toils alongside Douglas, yet her demeanor betrays a sense of resignation towards the school's inevitable closure. Seeking a glimmer of hope, the group turns to Henrique, whose own tale unfolds—a story of abandoning his music career after an unfortunate mishap involving a misplaced CD. Now, he works with a consortium from Belo Horizonte, dreaming of transforming Imperatriz into a miniature Paris, a utopia of cultural rejuvenation.
Fueled by an unyielding passion for their hometown, Luiza, Carol, Douglas, Anita, Joel, and Fabricio converge at Luiza's cozy café, where the night unfolds in a haze of tequila shots and spontaneous decisions. Sparking a daring conspiracy, they devise a bold plot: to dismantle the miniature Eiffel Tower that the omnipotent consortium has erected, casting a shadow over their city. With Joel's trusty van serving as their chariot, they successfully topple the iconic landmark, but their triumph is short-lived as they find themselves apprehended for vandalism.
Within the sterile confines of the police station, a startling revelation unfolds: Eduardo, the cunning puppeteer behind the consortium, has amassed his colossal fortune through a series of serendipitous wagers—all orchestrated by Joel's notebook, a bible of predictions for the FIFA World Cup.
Yet, amidst this chaos, Anita wavers, her resolve faltering. Joel, a steadfast believer in fate's unerring blueprint, urges her to embrace their destiny, promising that by saving their city, they can alter the course of their friends' lives. In a dramatic turn, Joel lashes out at Eduardo, who had momentarily contemplated letting them slip through his fingers for their act of defiance. However, Eduardo's leniency evaporates, prompting Joel and Anita to embark on a daring escape.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the group engage in a fierce skirmish with Eduardo's brute squad, their fierce determination buying precious moments for Joel and Anita to flee into the night.
