In class, the teacher notices the excitement in the air and takes pity on his students. Later on at the bistro, the JAMS make the dish Stefano had suggested. Davide leaves them to clean up.

Joy meets up with Michelino, Max's little brother, the mascot of the group. Soon after, Ettore, the attorney, happens by.

Max and Alice have a conversation and it is clear that she is trying to tell him something without coming out and saying it. Joy goes home and her mother asks her where she has been.

The cooking contest begins. Joy isn't quite her usually buoyant self, however. The kids on team "the Best" have already planned on cheating.

The principal and the teacher taste the four dishes and decide on the grades.

"Quelli che" (those who...), written and performed by the great Enzo Jannacci, lends its ironic and humoristic verses to the soundtrack of Lina Wertmüller's film,"Pasqualino Settebellezze" [Seven Beauties] starring Giancarlo Giannini, and nominated for best foreign film at the 1976 Oscars.

It's Pisa. A group of university students living in an apartment together have made a home video of the place, which is a mess, partly due to clogged sinks. Their stay is almost at its end and they're taking stock.

The group goes grocery shopping for their party, but on the way back, Ilaria wants to make a stop. Nobody knows why, or what she plans to do and the situation gets out of hand.

As they make pasta with whatever scraps of food are left in the fridge, the group discusses Ilaria's predicament, which turns out to be worse than they imagined.

The group has to figure out the final accounts for the apartment, including some very expensive phone bills they wonder about. Later, they talk about the future and where they think they will end up.

Despite the late hour, Vincenzo suggests going to see their friend Michele before they all go off to different destinations.

At the spot where the accident had occurred, the friends wonder how it could have happened since Michele was such a good, careful driver.

After exchanging memories of Michele, the friends take the road back to Pisa, singing a song with very appropriate lyrics; Morirò in un'incidente stradale (I'll die in a car accident). The group that originally recorded the song is I Gatti Mezzi whose songs are in Pisan dialect or vernacolo (vernacular). See the complete lyrics. Back home, there is a phone call for Vincenzo that seems important.

Francesca is anxious about Vincenzo's phone call from Iceland. He comes back from the phone call happy, but not everyone is as happy as he is.

While delivering the mirror to their friend, Vincenzo wonders why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans. They have a ways to go on foot and a while to wait at the door, so there is plenty of time for Andrea to explain.
