Eva is pretty mad at Dante for being late. He comes bearing gifts, however. Eva's son also has a gift for his girlfriend.

Besides being a cook and a kind of Robin Hood, Eva is also the mother of an adolescent boy. This last might be the most challenging job of all.

"David" starts taking on "Goliath." It's not going to be easy, especially since their first plan goes south, and they have to go right to plan B.

There's no turning back now. Dante is a bit confused, which is only natural.

Naturally, at lunch, things don't go as planned. Meanwhile, Dante meets up with Eva's son, who is a bit skeptical about his mom's interest in a rich guy.

Eva goes to see her dear mentor Augusto to get some advice. Back at the restaurant, there seems to be peace in the kitchen as the cooks pull out all the stops to prepare a romantic dinner for Lola and Cicci.

Daniela goes to the restaurant to talk to Eva, but things don't go as planned.

Eva and Dante have words, and their work relationship is on the brink of ending. Brainstorming with the girls brings to Eva's mind a possible hiding place for the gold bricks.

The girls get to work. They manage to get into the market, but things don't go exactly as planned.

Frozen in time. That's what it feels like to our brave ladies. The cuckolded security guard seems to have a never-ending list of betrayals on the part of his girlfriend.

This is not meant to bash vegans. It's just meant to be funny. Italian, with its masculine and feminine nouns lends itself to giving objects, and in this case vegetables, human characteristics. Maurizio Crozza is a comedian. The name he uses — Germidi — is a play on words: Germi (seeds) and soia (soy).

Everyone had a rough time in this adventure, but all's well that ends well.

Where can we find substitute ingredients? What do we do with the rind of the squash? Germidi Soia answers these questions and more. There is mention of Nutella, which is the ultimate Italian comfort food, and tiramisù, a popular dessert.

Dante is trying to make up with Eva in two different ways. She's not making it easy for him.

Eva goes to the hairdresser and learns about a girl named Samantha who could use some help. Meanwhile, Dante has an interesting conversation with some German customers.
