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 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.

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.

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'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.

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.

A big TV station comes to town and Peppino is interviewed about his missing friend. Martino has managed to set up a TV in the abandoned house he's living in, so he gets to see what his friend said about him.

There's some tension between Dante and Eva but they get distracted by Lorenzo who shows up at the restaurant in high spirits. The chief of police, also in high spirits, stops by to report on having caught a corrupt contractor.

Sally shows up at Martino's hideout and wants to know why he is faking his "disappearance." They share some food and some thoughts.

Eva goes with Lola to see about getting her car fixed. The head mechanic comes across as shockingly crass, but the assistant is nice and easily fixes the problem with the car. Lola can't help flirting with him.

Martino has some awkward conversation with Sally. Meanwhile, word about Martino's disappearance has spread all over Italy, and as a result, the TV show Missing has come to town.

If the girls thought the mechanic was bad news, they now discover he is extremely bad news. Eva and Lola go to the concert to see Franco's friend perform, but are greeted by a different scene altogether.

Peppino and Martino watch the TV show, and as Martino's story unfolds, Peppino has pretty much taken center stage and is basking in it. During the interview, he says things Martino is not thrilled about, to say the least.

Eva goes to see Armando the mechanic, disguised as Franco's rich cousin. She intimidates him with her fancy language and manages to get the computer back. Franco has to find a job to pay his rent and tuition.

Martino, Sally, and Peppino are watching the TV show Missing, where there is some news about where Martino might have been sighted. A very special appeal is made that's very disconcerting for Martino. Peppino is philosophical about the whole thing.
