The dialogue between Pisanelli and Brother Leonardo alternates between irony and concern: while Giorgio is obsessed with finding a serial killer, the friar invites him to look within himself and take care of himself. Lara's death becomes the symbol of a deeper evil, made of loneliness and selfishness.

A quiet evening among friends at Senatore's house is interrupted by the sudden arrival of the police. Inspector Giuseppe Lojacono continues the investigation into Lara's mysterious life: during the interrogation of her employer, contradictions and details about the woman's past emerge.

Lojacono and Romano interrogate Senatore, trying to verify the solidity of his alibi, while the investigation is practically at a standstill, with little to go on. As Lojacono is making his morning coffee, he gets a disturbing phone call from his ex-wife, Sonia.

Palma begins to lose patience with the Pizzofalcone team, frustrated by the absence of concrete evidence and a network of still uncertain suspects. Meanwhile Lojacono confronts his lawyer, bringing to light personal difficulties, financial problems and the weight of a past that continues to haunt him.

An apparently insignificant detail on the onesie the baby was wearing when found by the dumpster leads Laura to question a version of events related to Lara's death. She and Lojacono go to question Lara's former employers once again.

Laura and Giuseppe go to question Lara's former employers, who are not very cooperative. The issue of embroidery comes up as Di Nardo and Aragona search the premises.

Faced with evidence, Mrs. Nubila has no choice but to confess her involvement in Lara's pregnancy, and how she and her husband took advantage of the girl.

Mrs. Nubila calmly recounts what actually happened, while the investigators listen, incredulous and shocked.

During the interrogation of the Nubila couple, the circumstances that led to Lara's death come to light. The investigating team can't understand why the baby would have been abandoned, but that, too, becomes clear. All in all, it's very disturbing to everyone in different ways.

Il Commissario Manara (Inspector Manara) is an Italian TV series set in the Maremma (southern Tuscany), which centers on Luca Manara, an unorthodox and highly seductive, newly arrived police inspector, played by Guido Caprino.

Commissioner Manara arrives on the scene of the supposed suicide. He questions a witness, and talks to the victim's doctor, and to the medical examiner, who turns out to be an attractive woman who has no problem with shyness.

Manara meets his new boss and from the outset there's tension. We learn that Manara was transferred to his new post because of an affair between Manara and the wife of his former boss.

Commissioner Manara meets up with Lara Rubino, his old classmate from the police academy. She's less than happy to see him and slaps him right across the face.

Rubino, the new inspector, can't stand being in the same room with Manara. And when he doesn't even remember why, she really gets angry. But then they get some interesting news from the morgue...

Manara arrives at his hotel, and the clerk is curt with him until she learns he's the new commissioner. Manara and the deceased are the topics discussed by Rubino and her aunt.
