Toscani has some news about who was on the jury. All the contestants in the Miss Maremma contest come to police headquarters for questioning.

There are various mysteries to be solved, but Luca seems preoccupied with the mystery surrounding the new inspector.

The cause of death has been discovered, but that's about all. Manara talks to the members of the Miss Maremma jury.

While Toscani is investigating Rivera, Luca questions a contestant who gives him some interesting new information.

Another suspect gets questioned, and then Toscani gets questioned by Manara, on a totally different matter.

Luca and Caterina meet up by chance and and are chatting when Caterina's phone rings. Later, Luca and Marta meet up at Ada's and talk about the case, but not only.

Luca is able to talk to Giulia's father, and then with Giulia herself. He also talks to the people from the newspaper. Marta receives a mysterious phone call.

Tension rises between Marta and Manara. Then Manara gets stopped by the police. It's just routine, but there's a glitch.

Luca gets himself into an embarrassing situation with Marta. But he somehow wriggles out of it with an undercover assignment for her.

Manara's team decides the best way to find out what's going on with Righini and Parri is to go to the post-contest party that evening.

The team is at its best this time. And someone who is usually in the sidelines steps in with prontezza (quick reflexes) and brings this case to a climax.

Giulia Parri and Righini, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, come in to police headquarters to clear up a couple of things, but then Manara has one of his famous moments of great intuition.

Manara wraps things up, and he does it with kindness. But later, he gets an unexpected visit.
