Dodo's mother and her new partner try to identify from the video who the hooded boy who made the child leave could be. While they search for the boy, Dodo's father is also questioned.

After asking Dodo's father some questions, Palma and Lojacono advise him to be cooperative for the sake of the investigation and the child. Meanwhile, it was also discovered that the gardener left for a course outside the city.

At the police station, everyone is busy listening to the phone interception of Borrelli's line. Someone with a foreign accent says they have Dodo. At this point, it's a kidnapping and there are actions to be taken.

Palma and Lojacono have summoned Mauro Carullo to ask him a couple of questions. The young man provides an alibi that is quickly confirmed. At the Borrelli's house, there is tension while attempting to recognize the voice from the phone call.

Lojacono and Aragona go to talk with Dodo's grandfather, Mr. Borrelli, who immediately proves to be arrogant. Alex tells his parents that he has found a rental house but they don't take it well.

Pisanello returns home after being hospitalized but still can't stop thinking about Musella's death, which was filed as suicide. Alex, after the argument with his father, takes refuge at Rosaria's place.

Twenty-four hours after the first phone call, there is still no news about the kidnapped child. To avoid sitting idle, Giuseppe and Alex meet with Mrs. Parascandolo to learn more about the theft.

The kidnappers demanded a very high ransom and the police decided to summon all the child's close relatives to ensure no one takes independent action. The situation is definitely heating up.

Fingerprints left in the apartment have finally been identified at the Parascandolo house. Di Nardo and Lojacono quickly show up at Mrs. Parascandolo's, who doesn't deny it and proposes a deal to the officers.

Giuseppe goes to Laura to ask her opinion about a doubt that came to him while watching the kidnapping footage. Palma accompanies Ottavia home with a special gift for Riccardo.

Dodo knows the woman who is holding him prisoner and even though he has a fever he asks her when his father will come to free them from the man with the beard. Meanwhile Laura and Giuseppe try to figure out who the woman in the video could be.

Finally the suspect has a name. At the police station the atmosphere is tense but everyone is ready to move to track down Lena and her accomplice. Meanwhile, another urgency looms: getting their hands on Parascandolo's husband, guilty of loan sharking.

Lojacono celebrates Christmas with Letizia, in a serene atmosphere of intimacy. Piras, on the other hand, remains alone in her house, while Pisanelli receives an unexpected visit from Brother Leonardo, who besides his wishes has something important to tell him.

Alex, after leaving her parents' house, rushes to Rosaria's house where she finally feels free. At the police station, the search is actively underway to find Lena Miroslava.

Aragona and Romano go to the address of the two kidnapping suspects, but they don't find them. At the police station, during the reconstruction of the investigation, a comment from Romano and evidence brought by Alex reveal new decisive elements.
