Paolo and Natoli have some unforeseen difficulties getting to the factory, and when they finally do arrive, nothing is as it should be.

Our teacher is a good sleuth, but cooking is not her strong point, and her Indian sesame breadsticks don't make a huge hit at home, either.

Paolo has to gather all his wits to figure out what's happening in the company. He confronts Salmastri, but Salmastri is truly slippery, and not to be underestimated.

Our professoressa finds herself involved in trying to solve the case. She seems to be enjoying it, too.

There's a strike going on in the factory, and some dirty dealings going on, too. Meanwhile Paolo, with Natoli's expert help, is doing what he can to figure things out.

The sad occasion of a funeral is also a good place to observe the people who attend.

Paolo clearly cares more about Natoli than his car, Manuela thinks Paolo is like the other bosses, and Natoli is becoming resigned to going back to his country. It's a mess.

The centerpiece of this segment is dinner. Pasta. In Italian, spaghetti is the plural of spaghetto (a strand of spaghetti), and Italians like their pasta al dente which literally means "to the tooth." In other words, it should be cooked just enough to be bitten, therefore firm, not hard, but by all means not soft.

Manuela gets to the document before Paolo does, and reacts. This starts quite a chain reaction involving Natoli, the workers at the factory, and Paolo who ends up on Manuela's bicycle.

Things are going nicely for Camilla when she learns more about Nicola and his girlfriend. With her mother, not so much.

Today is the decisive doctor's visit, but it's not entirely what the newlyweds expected. Meanwhile, let's hope Paolo can start paying attention to his company's developments, because something fishy is going on.

Camilla's mother is after her to do her a favor, and Sammy shows up asking a favor, as well.

Emotions run high in this part of the story. Manuela has no idea what Paolo is going through, but they have to go to the adoption interview, so stress is running high, too. As often happens, Natoli provides some relief in his own inimitable way.

Camilla had a hard time of it after seeing what she saw the night before. And she had a hard time in class, too, with students who hadn't studied.

Paolo is surrounded by challenges: Manuela's family, to start with, and then the difficult decisions to make regarding the future of the factory.
