Ugo is pretending to be relaxed and busy cooking, singing an aria from Verdi's Otello under his breath as he cooks. Nora is getting all gussied up for her date.

Roberto is worried about how Ugo is acting. Manrico is trying to get Melody to go out with him. The bride-to-be shows up at the workshop with her girlfriends who want to plan a bachelorette party for her.

Nora is back, and as an excuse for keeping her distance, she uses the ruse Melody planned to employ with Giampi. But all this has to go on the back burner because there are new potential clients waiting downstairs.

Aunt Clo calls at an inopportune moment and Nora can't fake things very well. Later she and Melody have a conversation about their bad luck with men.

Everyone is waiting for the groom to show up and Nora and Ugo discuss what to do, both feeling sorry for Eva.

Nora and the others learn of Eva's decision to put all her assets in the hands of her daughter, Ilaria. Sebastiano has disappeared, Manrico seems to be courting Melody.

While Eva is having a fitting, Carolina shows up and makes a scene. As Eva is leaving the atelier, she and Nora have a conversation about love, and then Ugo and Nora have a lively discussion about the situation.

Poor Roberto is back at the dentist's office and Ugo shows up once more. But this time, another person shows up to add to the chaos.

Melody comes to the bridal workshop and almost everyone is happy to see her. Dino has a surprise for her and takes her outside. Manrico, the singer who had saved a wedding in the past, is at the workshop to meet with the bride and groom.

Melody gets back a day early and finds Nora in her bed. Nora has to offer some explanations and meanwhile, the girls do some drinking.

Eva is very happy with her wedding gown, but her daughter, who came with her, has a hard time accepting the situation. Ugo is desperately trying to figure out where Nora might be staying.

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.
