Contains spoilers for 'Desperate Lies' Episode 2 on Netflix
BRASÍLIA, BRAZIL: All episodes of 'Desperate Lies' have officially been released on Netflix, allowing viewers to binge-watch the entire series at once.
The series revolves around Liana (Juliana Paes), whose unique pregnancy threatens her relationship with her husband, Tomás (Vladimir Brichta).
In 'Desperate Lies' Episode 1, after discovering that Tomás was cheating on her, Liana goes to a club and consumes alcohol and drugs. Liana's friend's brother, Oscar (Felipe Abib), sexually assaults her.
Later on, Liana is shocked to discover that she is pregnant with two babies, each with DNA from Tomás and Oscar.
There's a lot to uncover in 'Desperate Lies' Episode 2. So, let's jump in!
Can Oscar get arrested for his crime?
In 'Desperate Lies' Episode 2, it is revealed that Oscar is very wealthy and spoiled. He owns a club, and his father is extremely rich.
At his club, his friend gave drugs to a girl and raped her. The girl was a minor and accused Oscar's friend of raping her. Oscar's friend started blackmailing him because he knew they are in the same boat.
Tomás and his father are lawyers, and they helped Oscar in this case by removing the charges against him because Oscar's father gave a hefty amount of money to Tomás's father.
Tomás became angry after seeing how his father helped criminals because he thought these crimes were serious.
If Tomás learns that Oscar is the man who raped Liana, the consequences will be severe. Tomás is happy because he is going to become a father and wants to give their marriage a second chance.
If Tomás learns the whole truth, he might decide to end his relationship with Liana. Considering Oscar's considerable wealth and influence, it is unlikely he will ever get arrested. His financial resources and connections could potentially shield him from any serious repercussions.
Will Liana and Tomás's marriage survive?
In 'Desperate Lies' Episode 2, Liana finally reveals to Tomás the truth that one baby is his, but the other baby belongs to someone else. The episode ends with this revelation, and the uncertainty of their future together looms large.
Tomás may feel shattered and betrayed, believing that Liana has cheated on him, as he is unaware of the complete truth. Without knowing the full story behind the paternity of the second baby, Tomás may find it hard to forgive Liana.
Tomás may contemplate confronting Liana with the possibility of divorce and urging her to consider abortion. Liana already wants an abortion but does not desire a divorce, which could deeply shatter her because she does not see herself at fault.
She may make every effort to persuade her husband not to proceed with a divorce and to listen to her complete story. Liana might plead with him, explaining the complexities of her situation and the reasons behind her actions.
It would be intriguing to see what decision Tomás ultimately makes. His choice will likely have significant implications for their relationship and the future of their family.
Will he choose to listen to Liana's full story and consider reconciliation, or will he proceed with a divorce? Only time will tell.
