Lisbon, 1887. The ink from the last page of "Os Maias" has not dried yet, and Eça de Queiroz already receives an offer that can't be refuted. Some English publishers want to buy he's manuscript. And for such a sum that Eça de Queiroz will finally be able to fulfill his most secret dream: to become a playwright and theater director. Without knowing that the man in front of him is Wallcott, an agent of the mysterious Companhia, Eça de Queiroz accepts the business and changes his literary career for the performing arts.

In 2016, the Ministério do Tempo is quickly alerted. Salvador can not allow "Os Maias" not to be published, and that all Queiroz' s later works are not written.

Pacino still can not go on this mission. He still has to undergo the agent training. That's why Salvador orders Luís Vaz de Camões to join Amélia and Afonso in this mission.

The three depart for 1887. Amélia's plan goes through two stages: 1) infiltrating the theater company that Eça de Queiroz is assembling and sabotaging the play and 2) discovering who bought the manuscript of "Os Maias."

Meanwhile, while trying to salvage one of the most important books in Portuguese literature, the patrol will come up against a new method that will forever change time travel.

In 2016, Salvador makes a phone call to Tiago. He just wants to know what he's fine. Tiago says he's OK, but he still doesn't feel able to return to the Ministério.
