Over breakfast, Riccardo and Eleonora discuss some environmental test results they are expecting, but are interrupted by Chiara and have to fudge. They also get some other worrisome news from Nicoletta.

All of a sudden, it's decided that the wedding would be the following day. Everyone gets into gear, almost. Roberto shows up, too, and might live to regret it. Ugo is resting, since he is so "ill."

Luigi has to listen to an interminable list of possible side effects to the drugs he will be taking. Could it be that he is actually going home?

Martina and Giovanni invite Chiara to stay strong, and it seems it regards her father. Michele is trying to relax when Iolde shows up with her water and vinegar drink.

It's time for the first kiss. Everyone seems affected in a different way.

Two of the doctors meet up in the hall and get into a spat about which job is more noble, that of an oncologist or that of a surgeon.

Michele is making nice with Eleonora because he needs a favor. She knows him all too well and says no. Chiara is talking to her friend Valentina about her father's experience in prison.

It's the second day of the Ethiopian ceremony, and time for the appearance of the sheep. Will Roberto come through?

Luigi reflects on how so many Italians, though living in a marvelous place, would like to be somewhere else, do something else, etc. But there are exceptions.

Michele has breakfast in the communal kitchen and strikes up a conversation with Lapo. Eleonora has a chat with JJ in his office, but gets interrupted by a phone call she has to deal with.

Melody takes the sheep to a grassy spot but is then surprised by someone she wasn't expecting to see. The second day of the wedding is over, and Nora and Ugo are ready to get some sleep.

Luigi continues reflecting on how his illness changed his life in various ways, not all of them negative. Un passo alla volta (one step at a time).

Chiara's phone was found, but Chiara is still missing. Riccardo asks a favor of Michele and then goes looking for Chiara. Meanwhile, there seem to be bugs all over the place, and Michele's conversation is being listened to without his knowledge by law enforcement.

Before the guests leave, the mother of the bride has a couple of questions for Nora and Ugo, translated by Emebet's brother. Nora is emotionally affected by what he says. Melody and Dino look on.

As he leaves the hospital with his wife, Luigi talks about how his perspective changed having had an experience such as he did.
