The ending of Smother-in-Law season 2 saw some entertaining sets of events

The second season of Smother-in-Law began with Isadir getting out of prison and Carlos and Alice throwing a gender reveal party as Alice was expecting another child. One would think that a little bit of jail time might bring some changes in a person, but it had no effect on the vicious mother-in-law Isadir.

Right after being released from jail, she started meddling and creating all sorts of problems in Carlos and Alice's married lives. Her limitless mischief and an array of evil plots made Alice's life unbearable, with Carlos being caught in the middle of it all. Towards the end of season 2 of Smother-in-Law, Carlos and his wife Alice came up with a master plan to get rid of Isadir.

They successfully hid Carlos’ promotion and their plan to move to Sao Paulo for the promotion from Isadir. Apart from her, every other member of the family knew about it but kept it a secret. Even Isadir’s beloved friend and sidekick Fatima hid the news from her.

Alice and her husband Carlos were extremely excited to leave their mansion and Isadir in Rio and move to Sao Paulo. However, their children, Marcia and Jonas, were not ready to say goodbye to their grandmother as they were her fans and loved her dearly.

Meanwhile, Alice couldn't take it anymore and was completely fed up with her mother-in-law after tolerating her for so long. One day, she decided to leave her behind in Rio and dragged her husband and their children overnight to Sao Paulo, far away from Isadir. Even Marinez, who generally took Isadir’s side, agreed to shift with Alice to Sao Paulo.
