The cause of death has been discovered, but that's about all. Manara talks to the members of the Miss Maremma jury.

There are various mysteries to be solved, but Luca seems preoccupied with the mystery surrounding the new inspector.

Toscani has some news about who was on the jury. All the contestants in the Miss Maremma contest come to police headquarters for questioning.

This new episode takes place in the world of beauty contests. Manara seems slightly distracted in both his dreamworld and the real world.

Inspector Rivera is very much appreciated at Police Headquarters, and so is Manara, but for different reasons and by different people.

The team figures out how the crime happened, and Manara has to reveal his more compassionate, sensitive side to bring this investigation to an end.

Marta proves herself to be smart and intuitive. This leads to a new perspective on the case.

With Lara gone, Luca seems to want to make up for lost time, and flirts unabashedly with all the women he comes into contact with. Fortunately, he also gets down to work, and has a man to man talk with one of the suspects.

Little by little some of the suspects are being eliminated, but the situation is far from clear.

Officers Barbagallo and Buttafuoco get some good evidence, but Manara doesn't quite appreciate their guessing-game humor. He goes to question the new suspect.

Luca Manara and Marta Rivera are both curious about each other. But Marta has better luck. Manara and Toscani go to see the victim's husband, who learns some things about his wife he hadn't been aware of.

Lara isn't around, but her presence is felt by everyone, in different ways. And they all want to know how Luca is feeling about it, but he's a closed book and just focuses on the case.

Marta goes for a ride on Luca's motorcycle as they look for a mysterious South American barman. Ginevra meets Marta and seems to like her a lot.

Interviewing the husband of the deceased was uncomfortable, since there were delicate questions to ask. Back at headquarters, Luca learns whether or not it was his hair on the pillow, and Marta has some insights that make the others roll their eyes.

Manara gets to run the case, and the new inspector arrives to welcomes that range from very warm to very icy.
