Nora arrives at a luxury hotel in Brazil, astonished by the contrast between this globally famous life and her other possible lives. Fans chant her name, request selfies, and ask for autographs. A man named Francisco asks for a shoulder signature for a tattoo and tearfully credits her song “Beautiful Sky” with saving his life, overwhelming Nora and making the allure of this life feel inevitable.

Amid selfies, a fan shows a photo of Nora kissing Ryan Bailey and laments their breakup, which Nora deflects as a “learning curve.” Joanna gently pulls Nora away toward the lobby, where the band is already in the bar. Nora wonders about her brother’s absence as the hotel staff and guests stare.

Joanna introduces Marcelo, a podcaster from O Som, and relocates the interview to Nora’s suite to avoid the crowd. When Nora suggests including other band members, Marcelo declines, keeping the focus on her. In the lift, Joanna notes Nora seems “different” and arranges drinks—sparkling water for Nora, beers for the podcasters, and a caipirinha for herself—prompting Nora to suspect she may be teetotal here.

Inside the opulent suite, Nora takes in the abundance: flowers, champagne on ice, and a silver tray of Brazilian honey cakes. Joanna mentions a new plan from someone named Harley and implies Nora should avoid the cakes, which makes Nora bristle at the control. Joanna also reports LA wildfires and evacuations in Calabasas, raising the possibility that Nora’s house could be threatened.

As the podcast equipment is set up, Joanna praises the show’s reach and demographics and watches closely as the interview begins. Nora, seated on the vast sofa, faces the reality of celebrity: adoration, isolation from her bandmates, external control over her choices, and looming personal risk back home.
