Clara (Regiane Alves) is being blackmailed by Theo (Emilio Dantas) to cover household expenses and shows up to testify at her exhusband’s trial. But her idea is not to speak for him, but against him and show the abusive husband he always was. But in chapter (12) of this Wednesday, Clara’s intention will not succeed.

Clever, Theo’s lawyer, Ricardo (Heitor Martinez) will realize Clara’s true intentions and ask the judge to release her as a witness. Clara will of course be outraged and rebel in court.
“You’re afraid of what I have to say! I just want to tell the truth!” she yells.
“Your Excellency, I apologize for the pathetic scene. “Only today did the defense learn that this lady wanted to use her hearing to gain advantages in the divorce and separation process,” says the lawyer cynically.
The judge then tells Clara to leave the room:
“He’s arriving! Pull yourself together, otherwise I’ll have to ask the officer to escort you out of the room.”

Clara will leave, but not before venting her anger on Theo.
“It’s not required. I’ll go, but the truth will come out, Theo. You won’t be able to run from her your whole life.”
Afterwards, outside of the courtroom, Clara meets the telltale Erika (Leticia Salles) and gives her what she wants:
“Put it this way: Theo Bastos is a small, manipulative, violent man and he can be an abuser! I believe in what these women are denouncing!”
