Negri isn't happy to find out his money is gone, and blames it on his usual cleaners when they show up at the studio, late for work. Eva and her friends have a nice surprise for Filippo and his father, who is incredulous.

Eva's expertise shines through as the situation at Negri's studio takes an unexpected turn. Lola also plays an essential role in the success of the heist.

It's time for the girls to act. They carry out their various tasks and manage to get into Negri's studio. Eva makes a beeline for the safe. Eva is disguised, and is described by her friend as the Befana. Befana is a corruption of Epifania (Epiphany) and, in Italian tradition, the Befana is an old woman who brings gifts (or coal) for children on this holiday. Befana has also come to mean "witch."

Eva goes to see Dante but gets a nasty surprise. But things aren't as they seem, and explanations are forthcoming. Lorenzo, on the other hand, is in a particularly good mood.

Eva knows Dante is keeping something from her, and she is a bit worried. Malù wants to talk to Lorenzo and he is a bit worried. The girls start making detailed plans for the caper.

The disappearance of Martino hasn't gone unnoticed after all. A TV crew has shown up in town. Naturally, Peppino rushes off in his Ape (three-wheeler) to give Martino the good news.

Eva practices opening the safe, and Dante goes to the market, none too happy about his friction with Eva. He has an unusual encounter there.

Peppino brings Sally, the Latin American woman from the gas station, to the hideout, thinking he is doing Martino a big favor.

Peppino buys some groceries for Martino and Marti' is none too happy with the bill. He goes over what Peppino bought, giving the quantity as due and du' [short for due (two)] for the canned tomatoes, beer etc. Often, this due isn't a literal two, but means a small amount. You frequently hear the du' at fruit and vegetable shops or markets, where customers might ask for just a little bit of something, such as "du' ciliegie" [cherries]. The du' is also a polite way of preventing the vendor from heaping produce on the scale.

Ferruccio, the kitchen hand, tells Dante about a conversation he overheard and this creates a little friction between Eva and Dante. Lorenzo hasn't been showing up for meals at the restaurant and Eva learns why.

Finally, Martino's disappearance becomes known to the townspeople. He is the subject of Don Julio's sermon, and is even mentioned in the Bari newspaper. Martino is absolutely galled by how he's described in the newspaper.

Eva pays a visit to Augusto, a friend and safe-cracking expert, while Lorenzo and Malù break up. Later, Eva and the ladies hold a planning session for their caper.

Peppino goes to see Martino and tells him the truth: that no one in town noticed he was gone. He then does Martino another favor, similar to smashing his cell phone.

Lorenzo is clearly having a rough time and would like to talk to his mom, but he often loses his courage. This time Eva keeps pushing and the conversation goes a bit further. Eva goes to see Negri in his office and of course, she keeps her eyes and ears wide open.

Martino is settling in Peppino's grandfather's house, trying to make it inhabitable. Peppino does something he thinks is essential for the cause, but Martino is devastated and tells him to leave.
