Casemiro will expel Mirinho from his sugar mill home after Tonho survives an assassination attempt in upcoming episodes of Brazilian telenovela A Nobreza do Amor.
The expulsion caps a dramatic week of episodes scheduled to air from August 31 to September 5, as land disputes, royal migration plans, and paternity scandals shake Batanga and Barro Preto.
Envious of his rival, Mirinho hires a hitman to ambush Tonho. Tonho manages to overpower the gunman, immobilise him, and report the assassination scheme directly to family patriarch Casemiro.
Although Mirinho's mother Graça bribes the assassin to protect her son, growing suspicions drive Casemiro to act. To protect Tonho and Caetana, Casemiro confronts Mirinho and banishes him from the plantation house.
Assassination plot and plantation banishment
Tension between Mirinho and Tonho reaches a breaking point early in the week when Mirinho visits Tonho's lands, drawing immediate distrust from Januário. Manoel reprimands Mirinho for plotting against Tonho and advises him to forget Lúcia, also known as Alika, so he does not ruin his relationship with Virgínia. Disregarding the warning, Mirinho hires a henchman on Wednesday and gives him explicit instructions on Thursday detailing how to locate Tonho.
The hitman ambushes Tonho on Thursday evening. On Friday, Tonho subdues the attacker and demands to know who hired him before turning the gunman over to Casemiro, terrifying both Graça and Caetana. When Casemiro confronts Mirinho over the attack, the emotional strain causes Casemiro to fall ill, prompting Tonho and Ana Maria to take him to Onildo for medical care. Casemiro insists that whoever ordered the hit must be arrested.
On Saturday, Mirinho heads to the sugar mill after Graça reassures him that she successfully paid off the hitman to secure his escape. However, when Tonho and Casemiro discover the killer has fled, their suspicions deepen. Fortunato promises to track down the fugitive and confides to Manoel that he believes Mirinho ordered the hit. After Tonho and Caetana ask to leave the sugar mill estate, Casemiro announces that Mirinho is the one who must leave the house.
Alika plans return to Batanga with royal support
Beyond the plantation feud, Alika celebrates receiving formal support from Queen Menemi for her return to Batanga. However, her plans create anxiety for Tonho, who worries about whether he will be able to accompany her. Tonho confides the true history of Alika to Caetana, while Omar and Onildo discuss how crucial the return of Niara and Alika is to the future of Batanga.
Caetana questions Tonho regarding his fundamental commitment to the people of Barro Preto, later discussing the couple's situation with Dona Menina. Operating in town under the alias Lúcia, Alika hires Rosa to work at her fashion atelier, but confides her persistent fear that Tonho cannot join her journey. Meanwhile, Onildo declares his love to Queen Niara and promises to wait for her, with the couple sharing a kiss.
The situation grows more complicated on Saturday when Alika learns that Tonho survived an attempt on his life, casting doubt over their shared future.
Town paternity scandal rocks Diógenes and Marta
In town, a major family scandal erupts after Sebastião stumbles upon a missing letter regarding young Ritinha. Marta reads the document and discovers that her husband Diógenes is Ritinha's biological father. Viriato realizes the letter vanished from his personal belongings shortly before Marta confronts Diógenes over the revelation.
Marta insists that Diógenes must formally recognise Ritinha's paternity and banishes her husband to sleep in the guest room. She also tells Viriato that Ritinha has every right to know who her father is. Diógenes warns Virgínia that he must acknowledge the child to earn Marta's forgiveness, while Marta reprimands Virgínia when the young woman feels unwell. On Saturday, Belmira meets with Marta to reveal the full truth about Ritinha.
Political schemes and Anglo-French rivalries
Political maneuverings intensify as Kênia struggles with her forced marriage to Pascoal while secretly writing letters to Dumi, who has been found alive. Chinua breaks the news of Dumi's survival to Kênia, while Akin informs Dumi of Kênia's marriage. Pascoal presses Kênia for updates about Dumi, but Akin keeps Dumi calm as he attempts to locate her.
To protect herself and eliminate political rival Binta, Kênia leverages the Englishman Campbell by hinting that Jendal and Binta are aligning with French interests. Binta surprises Jendal by bringing a French representative to Batanga, leading Jendal to press Campbell to reconsider their commercial agreements.
French envoy Bourgade later seduces Jendal, prompting Jendal to pursue a trade deal with the French despite expecting retaliatory action from Campbell.
Boarding house feuds and local miracle claims
Local conflicts break out at Geralda's boarding house after backlands bandit Carrapato flirts with Geralda. Adônis catches them and threatens to tell Fortunato unless she stays away from the criminal. Tensions rise further when Viriato and Adônis discover Geralda is sheltering both Carrapato and Montanha at her boarding house, leading Viriato to meet Carrapato directly.
Meanwhile, Bartô uses a weapon provided by Tonho to stage an alleged miracle attributed to Veneranda, infuriating Viriato. Bartô later tells Dôra that he intends to petition the bishop to canonise Veneranda.
In other town developments, Teresa feels anxious over José's upcoming return to Batanga, Fuad orders Salma to stay away from Omar, and Fátima feigns illness whenever Salma mentions Omar. Januário hides his true feelings when Ana Maria asks him about love.
