There's a departure, for sure. Lara gets on that big blue bus and says goodbye, but there is an arrival, too.

Ada brings coffee to the room where the new guest is staying. But it's Ada who gets a rude awakening.

We've come to the moment of truth for Luca and Lara. Neither of them is happy, but they both know, deep down, that it's the right thing to do.

In the case, the sad truth comes out. Luca and Lara are both very somber for their own reasons. The only happy person seems to be Toscani who discovered traces of blood on the cane.

In this episode, we have the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as Lara is concerned. Toscani has a good moment.

Toscani knows he's doing a good job, but is frustrated because Manara doesn't ever acknowledge it. Meanwhile, Luca must have an idea since he goes prancing around the office. In fact, he knows exactly what he's doing.

Luca finds out some important information from the housekeeper, and he also finds out, quite by accident, about Lara's course in Milan.

The case is discussed at the dinner table among Lara, Luca and Aunt Caterina. As usual, Caterina knows a lot about the people involved. She also gives Lara some advice.

Lara has a hard time resisting Luca's charms. Sardi and Toscani don't seem to be on the same wavelength. But somehow, they are getting closer to having some interesting information, if not concrete evidence.

Lara is doing some thinking, and confides in Sardi. Meanwhile, there is a definite lead in the case about the burglarized villas.

Luca is acting a little strange and Ginevra doesn't help things. Meanwhile, there has been some mysterious activity over at the nursery.

Not much information is cropping up from the investigation, but Lara has an unusual meeting with Casadio.

It's a busy day for the police. A prime witness ends up in the emergency room at the hospital, and there have been three burglaries, one after another.

A romantic moment gets rudely interrupted by another murder. But do Luca and Lara have the same idea about living together?

Even though the case has been solved, Luca gets yelled at by Casadio. To understand their parting words, there's an idiomatic expression to learn. Chi va con lo zoppo impara a zoppicare (He who goes around with a lame person learns to limp). A similar expression in English is "bad company brings bad habits."
