The marshal comes back to the restaurant but judging from what he orders, it's clear that something is wrong. Eva goes to talk to him and discovers that he may have gotten conned.

Lorenzo is still pretty mad at his Mom. And Eva is still mad at Dante.

We don't want to give away the ending, so let's just say that Giacomo goes back to the cafe where the redhead works and... who shows up, but Mario.

After discovering that Mario isn't really ill, Giacomo goes looking for Professor Stern once again, hoping to find some answers.

Just when Mario felt he was getting his family back, a little karma comes his way to stir things up.

Giacomo finds a way to obtain the money he needs for Mario. There are strings attached, however, and he informs his sister about it. Giacomo makes a surprise visit to Mario's house, and Ginevra makes a surprise phone call to Mario. Things are closing in on him from all sides.

Maybe, just maybe, Mario is starting to feel bad about what he is doing. Giacomo confides in his sister about the money he needs, and Mario has a surprise encounter at a vending machine he is supplying.

Mario is still in big financial trouble and knows that only Giacomo can help him. What will he come up with next to con his friend into giving him the money?

Mario explains karma to a friend. Giacomo surprises his sister at the office. And sister and brother even have a bite to eat together there at the end of the day.

Mario gets invited to dinner at Giacomo's parents' house without Giacomo's knowledge. They have him figured out, and ask him to disappear. Giacomo shows up at the office, as promised.

Mario manages to put certain ideas in Giacomo's head so that when he gets to the meeting with the notary, he is not the complacent brother everyone is expecting.

Mario is repaying some debts and buying presents for his family, but his efforts go unappreciated. Giacomo's family is becoming alarmed at how much money he is spending, and decides to do something about it.

Giacomo reveals his "discovery" to his family. He tells Mario about the girl he likes. Mario manages to leave with a nice check, signed by Giacomo.

Mario can hardly believe his eyes. He has ended up in the home of a naive millionaire who's a perfect subject for being conned.

Mario goes to visit Giacomo at home and his eyes light up. Giacomo is very happy about the visit, but his mother, a bit less.
