It's dinner time in the Martini household. Ciccio is finishing his homework, Alberto is going to play soccer with some friends, Maria apologizes to her father, and Giulio shows up to make trouble, as usual.

Finally, Ugo gets Nora alone and they are able to talk. Until the talking breaks down, that is. Once again Roberto, their lawyer, finds himself in the middle of things.

Ciccio and Libero are watching TV when Alberto comes to ask about his tee shirt, and the doorbell rings. It's someone about the dog. Lele goes to Irene's place to talk to her.

The bride to be comes to the atelier to choose her wedding dress. Nora tries to prevent the others at the workshop from making the same gaffe she did, but they aren't necessarily familiar with the French word. Ugo shows up too, and tries to talk to Nora.

Lele gets a surprise visit at work. Later, he discusses it with Alice. Mariano comes back to work with some baccalà, a sort of salted codfish that lots of people love, but lots of people hate.

Nora manages to talk to Roberto for a moment to make sure he goes ahead with the divorce. She meets some potential new clients. Ugo is oblivious to these events and is busy buying flowers for Nora.

Giulio shows up early to the house to find out how things went between Lele and Irene. Lele gets teased by just about everyone about his "wild night." At the clinic, the woman who had accused Mariano of molesting her shows up again. This time it is Lele who has to deal with her.

After a night of intimacy, Ugo and Nora seem to have differing ideas about what it meant. Meanwhile, Iside and Dino are already basking in what they think is the aftermath.

Lele and Irene have some awkward moments at dinner and afterwards. Giulio is back at the house with Alice, wondering how the evening went. He can't help saying inappropriate things and Alice finally gets fed up with him.

Lele and Irene aren't exactly at ease as they eat their fish dinner. Giulio has the audacity of calling Lele to find out how things are going. Back at home, Maria and Ciccio wonder about their father remarrying and what that would be like.

Lele goes to Irene's house, but neither he nor Irene is really at ease. Meanwhile, the Martini's next-door neighbor stops by to complain about the dog.

We discover where Alberto's favorite T-shirt is hiding. Lele is looking for any excuse not to go to Irene's house for dinner, and his parents-in-law show up in time to wonder where he is going and give him a rough time.

The whole family is reacting to the new situation with Irene, a possible date for Lele. Giulio is there too, putting a lot of pressure on Lele who is quite reluctant.

Mariano is seriously worried about the incident in the examining room. Some people can't help but tease him, however. At home, Ciccio is still "sick," but isn't thrilled with being served soup rather than lasagna. Giulio is being an idiot as usual, teasing Lele about Irene in front of the children.

Giulio takes Lele to an exhibit in order to have him meet the lady from the fax. Lele goes home only to find a new guest, not a human one.
