Marioni introduces an unusual concert, in which he gives up conducting the orchestra to accommodate a visually impaired musician. The orchestra is arranged among the audience, and the musicians will perform without visual references, relying exclusively on their ears.

With the lights dimmed, the conservatory orchestra gives a moving performance of the famous piece known as Adagio di Albinoni. As they play, Marioni listens, and his emotions take him back in time to relive his daughter's bicycle accident and aftermath.

The evening is a huge success, but not everyone is elated. Marioni has come to the conclusion that his daughter's death was his fault, Matteo's uncle has a somewhat disturbing conversation with one of Matteo's schoolmates, and Domenico tries to talk to Barbara.
