The popular soap opera "Beleza Fatal" reached its dramatic conclusion on March 21, 2025, with the last episode airing on both the Max streaming service and Band, marking a significant moment for fans eagerly awaiting the resolution of this compelling tale of rivalry and revenge.
The final chapter began with tension as the body of Dr. Benjamin Argento (Caio Blat) was retrieved from the scene of a party at his clinic, drawing everyone present into the orbit of a police investigation. Gabriel (Enzo Romaní), Benjamin’s son, bore the heavy burden of confronting the news of his father's death while grappling with his relationship with his mother, Lola (Camila Pitanga). Lola, who had emerged as a powerful businesswoman, was notably distressed upon learning about the tragic incident, leaving many to question her involvement in Benjamin's demise.
Meanwhile, Sofia (Camila Queiroz) struggled with her emotions as she sought to reconcile with Elvira (Giovanna Antonelli) while fighting the desire for vengeance against Lola for her family’s suffering. As the investigation narrowed, Gabriel was determined to uncover the truth behind his father's death, leading him to scrutinize security footage from that fateful night.
The footage revealed a woman, later identified as Lola, entering the clinic with a scarf on her head. Later camera angles captured her burying the murder weapon in a garden, further mounting evidence against her. With a warrant for Lola's arrest issued and fresh evidence compiled, she became increasingly desperate, setting off a chain of dramatic events.
In a frenzied attempt to escape, Lola fled to her establishment, Lolaland, where she confronted Sofia. In a desperate act, she attempted to shoot her rival, but when that failed, she resorted to arson, igniting the building in flames. Gabriel, who arrived on the scene just in time, managed to rescue Sofia from the inferno, solidifying his role as the protector amidst the chaos.
After days of recovery in the hospital, Sofia awoke to discover Lola had been arrested. The courtroom drama that ensued was intense, as Lola faced charges not only for the murder of Benjamin but also for the fire that decimated her business. In a verdict that echoed through the hall, Lola was sentenced to 34 years for her crimes, leaving both Gabriel and Sofia to cope with the consequences of her actions.
In a poignant twist during her time in prison, Lola received an unexpected visit from Sofia. This confrontation turned explosive as Sofia revealed that it was she who killed Benjamin, having orchestrated the plot to frame Lola all along. Lola, caught in disbelief and rage, retorted fiercely, "I can be in here, but you're out there alone. Where’s Gabriel? Where’s your suburban family? I’ve risen many times. I’ll rise again, my love." This powerful moment encapsulated the animosity between the two women and highlighted the psychological torment of both characters.
As the drama unfolded, various plotlines converged, including the celebration of new beginnings. In a lighter moment, Tomás and Andréia finally married, promising a hopeful future amid the turmoil surrounding them. Additionally, Alec made headlines by purchasing the Paixão family home, providing much-needed stability for Elvira and Lino while Carol announced her pregnancy, thus adding another layer to the family narrative.
The series ended on a reflective note, with Sofia exiting the penitentiary and encountering a young girl selling lunchboxes. The sight of this girl evoked memories of Sofia's own troubled childhood, indicating a stark contrast from the chaos she had just experienced. As Sofia walked away, the audience was left with a resolute yet hardened look on her face, suggesting a determination to navigate the challenges ahead without fear or hesitation.
