Over breakfast, Riccardo and Eleonora discuss some environmental test results they are expecting, but are interrupted by Chiara and have to fudge. They also get some other worrisome news from Nicoletta.

Martina and Giovanni invite Chiara to stay strong, and it seems it regards her father. Michele is trying to relax when Iolde shows up with her water and vinegar drink.

Michele is making nice with Eleonora because he needs a favor. She knows him all too well and says no. Chiara is talking to her friend Valentina about her father's experience in prison.

Michele has breakfast in the communal kitchen and strikes up a conversation with Lapo. Eleonora has a chat with JJ in his office, but gets interrupted by a phone call she has to deal with.

Chiara's phone was found, but Chiara is still missing. Riccardo asks a favor of Michele and then goes looking for Chiara. Meanwhile, there seem to be bugs all over the place, and Michele's conversation is being listened to without his knowledge by law enforcement.

At Iolde's birthday party, there are some unusual gifts for her. Michele, quite drunk, clarifies some misunderstandings about his time in prison.

Michele finishes explaining what actually happened in prison. Later, his ex-wife and partner talk to Michele about the situation regarding the inquinamento (pollution) of the land the Nest is built on. Michele might have just the right know-how to be of help.
