Ginevra is tuned in to Luca's mood and they talk about what might be causing it. His mood doesn't keep him from figuring out some new details about the case, however. Some viewers will catch him as, in a moment of humility, he makes a fleeting reference to another police chief in a very successful TV series.

Manara has an unusual conversation with his boss, Lara has a phone conversation with her aunt, and Luca and Ada have a conversation about relationships.

We see the difference between Luca's by the seat of his pants investigative technique and Lara's more scientific technique. They both have their place, but in this case, Luca's is more effective. The team makes some headway, even if it is just to eliminate some suspected murder weapons.

Ada and Pio go dancing, but when they get back to her place, they get an unexpected interruption. A bit later, Ada innocently reveals some new elements to the case, and Luca comes back to life from his doldrums.

Manara's team goes to the hunters' bar to find Nino La Martina and have some lunch at the same time, perhaps. There was perhaps a bit more action than they were prepared for, but, of course, that goes with the job.

Lara plans to go and stay at her aunt's house, though Caterina is gone. Luca is clearly preoccupied when he goes to the morgue to talk to Ginevra about the autopsy.

We're at the end of this episode, where the famous fresco has been restored. Truth, symbolized in the fresco, is the buzzword of the moment but in ordinary life, it often remains hidden.

Truth triumphing over falsehood is not only the theme of the fresco, but is also the theme of this segment. Marta and Luca zero in on their latest suspect.

Casadio is in a strange mood, due to some discussions with his wife. After Manara leaves his office, there are some imprevisti (unexpected events) that give him a new lead in the case.
