Imma is not exactly enjoying herself at the party, but she does notice something interesting, and possibly pertinent to her case. She encounters the deskmate who replaced Diana way back then.

Under pressure from Renzo, Camilla tries calling Francesca one last time, and this time, she answers. They arrange a meeting so Bibì can go back to her owner.

Imma goes to see her friend Pino at the museum to ask him about the fragments she saw at the reunion. She then goes to the cemetery with her mother.

Camilla finds Francesca in very bad shape and calls an ambulance. Meanwhile, Berardi interviews Lenox's secretary and hears about Paul's ex-girlfriend.

Imma is in the courtroom trying to get Saverio (from the previous episode) indicted. Later, she meets up with Calogiuri at the office, but there is someone else waiting for her.

Camilla is in front of the hospital and gets a call on Francesca's phone. At least Camilla has the sense to warn Renzo she'll be a bit late. Renzo sees his mother-in-law outside with someone who doesn't look a bit like poor Sandra.

Pietro's mother shows up at his house and doesn't hide how she feels about her daughter-in-law. On the way to see Nunzio's parents, Imma and Calogiuri discuss the bank records they were able to obtain.

At the hospital, Francesca wakes up to see Gaetano by her side. Is he there as a brother or as a cop? She explains what happened the night of the murder.

Poor Pietro is having trouble discussing family problems with Imma, because she is easily distracted by the case she is trying to solve. At the office the next day, she has to deal with her colleagues, something she finds distasteful, and doesn't hide very well.

Renzo has an idea for what to do about Potti. Gaetano and the district attorney go to the morgue to talk to the coroner. At school, Camilla gets a phone call from Francesca.

Milena comes to Imma's office and tells her what she knows. She also makes an effort to remember a detail that might be important to the case.

Berardi discovers who owned the gun that killed Lenox and goes to see his superior to take himself off the case. Meanwhile, Camilla goes to Francesca's apartment to get the dogfood for Bibì.

Imma, Milena and Calogiuri go to the woods where Nunzio had seen the porcupine. Later they have a meeting with La Macchia in Imma's office.

Berardi gets a phone call before leaving Camilla. Renzo goes to pick up Livietta and sees the dance teacher dancing. Meanwhile, on the home front, there is some drama involving Potti, Bibì, and Camilla's mother.

It could be that Imma has found a solution for her mother. Pietro has prepared a delicious dinner, but whether or not his family will be able to enjoy it remains to be seen.
