Marta and Andrea find themselves alone in his room, now empty, and they remember the time when they had been together. He tells her of his plans.

Andrea continues to be mistrustful of what Marta is intimating to him. She mentions a house she is borrowing ai Ronchi (in the Ronchis). This prompted us to want to find out where this place is and why she says it in the plural. Here (link to lesson) is what we found out.

Cioni is very suspicious about Marta's true intentions toward Andrea. The others begin talking about their past relations and aspirations.

At the party, tension is high among the friends. Harsh words are exchanged.

The party is over and it is time to clean up and pack up. Cioni seeks out Ilaria to talk about her situation.

The friends are getting ready to leave, but it's still summer and someone gets the bright idea of going to the beach in a friend's boat.

The friends are on the boat but they run out of gas. Who had the jerry can? Arguing ensues, but they are at sea...

"Quelli che" (those who...), written and performed by the great Enzo Jannacci, lends its ironic and humoristic verses to the soundtrack of Lina Wertmüller's film,"Pasqualino Settebellezze" [Seven Beauties] starring Giancarlo Giannini, and nominated for best foreign film at the 1976 Oscars.

Alice introduces us to her group of friends. They've called themselves "JAMS" and we find out why in this episode. She begins telling us the story of how they got to know one another. Alice talks about la prima media. This is equivalent to the first year of middle school or the 6th grade of elementary school. The kids are about 11 or 12 years old.

It's the first day of school for our friends. In fact, it's their first year of middle school. The desks are set up for pairs of pupils, so choices have to be made as to where to sit and whom to share a desk with.

The class is welcomed by the principal as well as the art teacher. The surprise is that there will be a cooking course twice a week, as well as a group cooking contest. Who's on board? As we know, Joy is enthusiastic about it, but what about the others?

Alice, Joy, and Max want to win the contest, so they go around the neighborhood to find some traditional recipes. One stop they make is at the home of Joy's father's friend. The three classmates meet up with Stefano more than once, making them curious.

At the park, the kids try to come up with a recipe and they invite Stefano to take part in the project. One thing leads to another.

Joy has an interesting idea about where they can practice cooking. But it's a bigger challenge than she expected.

After the recap from the previous episode, the kids get to work on the cake they have to make in order to beat Davide and gain permission to use his kitchen for practice.
