Roberta, annoyed by Gaetano's behavior, decides to return to her home. Meanwhile, Camilla and Susy ask one of the students to trace the address from which Tucci sent the message, while Gaetano provides instructions on how to tail the secretary.

Everyone is ready to celebrate New Year's when, amid pleasantries and exchanges of good wishes, the police commissioner makes his entrance, surprising everyone with an unexpected announcement.

Gaetano returns to the police station with the children. Meanwhile, Torre has carried out some checks on Tucci's secretary, while he and Berardi go to question the craftsman reported by Camilla. In the meantime, while Livietta is in tears, Renzo arrives with good news.

Lojacono immediately goes to Laura's house, where she confides in him that she finally feels ready to take the risk and start a relationship with him, if he wants it too. Although Christmas has already passed, Marinella insists on wanting to put up the tree anyway, but just at that moment Giuseppe receives a phone call.

Camilla reports to Gaetano what she discovered by talking to Tucci's secretary and also explains her theory to him. Later she goes to the dentist's office for a treatment, while Renzo is busy with his personal blackbird hunt.

The news that the kidnappers managed to escape taking little Dodo with them is spreading rapidly. While Lojacono follows the updates on television, his daughter unexpectedly makes her appearance.

After leaving Tucci's office, Camilla confides to Susy that she suspects Sabrina is friends with Taviani. Having arrived in front of Livietta's school, Susy fears another interrogation by Gaetano and runs away... but she's not the only one doing so.

Pisanelli got ahead of Lojacono's team by entering the Intrasit warehouse before the others. When they all arrive, Pisanelli has fainted but it's still too late.

Camilla tries to convince Susy to get Tucci out of her head, who has disappeared but has definitely left his mark.

Finally the father of little Dodo reveals the whole truth about the organization of the kidnapping but confesses that he doesn't know where his son is and asks for help to find him.

Torre and Berardi go to the hospital to talk with Giannetti, who initially claims to have already said everything, but in the end reveals how the scam carried out together with Tucci was organized.

Aragona and Romano go to the address of the two kidnapping suspects, but they don't find them. At the police station, during the reconstruction of the investigation, a comment from Romano and evidence brought by Alex reveal new decisive elements.

Camilla and Gaetano vent about their difficulties. While they talk, Camilla takes the opportunity to tell what she learned at the sports club. Renzo is looking for activities to occupy his free time.

Alex, after leaving her parents' house, rushes to Rosaria's house where she finally feels free. At the police station, the search is actively underway to find Lena Miroslava.

Livietta tells her father about the visit to the Sport Village and he takes it as an accusation about the fact that they can't afford it at the moment, so he decides to go sleep at the office. Camilla then takes advantage of this to go vent with Gaetano.
