At its core, Rastros de Mentiras is a story about appearance versus reality. The title itself serves as a thesis statement for the narrative: no matter how much one tries to cover their tracks, the traces (rastros) of their lies remain. Rocha plays Ricardo with a terrifying calmness

However, it was not without controversy. Some viewers found the pacing of the middle episodes (Trace Two) too slow, describing the computer investigation as "wallpaper watching." Others criticized the ending for being too "clean"—Elena walks away with custody of her daughter and a new love interest (Detective Marco Tulio), which felt unearned to fans who wanted a darker, lonelier resolution.

Upon returning to Brazil pregnant, Paloma gives birth in a bar bathroom. Her treacherous brother, (Mateus Solano), who fears his inheritance is threatened, kidnaps the newborn baby and abandons her in a dumpster. The baby is found and raised by Bruno (Malvino Salvador), a grieving man who believes the child is a "divine sign" after losing his own wife and child during childbirth.
