There's a strike going on in the factory, and some dirty dealings going on, too. Meanwhile Paolo, with Natoli's expert help, is doing what he can to figure things out.

The sad occasion of a funeral is also a good place to observe the people who attend.

Paolo clearly cares more about Natoli than his car, Manuela thinks Paolo is like the other bosses, and Natoli is becoming resigned to going back to his country. It's a mess.

The centerpiece of this segment is dinner. Pasta. In Italian, spaghetti is the plural of spaghetto (a strand of spaghetti), and Italians like their pasta al dente which literally means "to the tooth." In other words, it should be cooked just enough to be bitten, therefore firm, not hard, but by all means not soft.

Manuela gets to the document before Paolo does, and reacts. This starts quite a chain reaction involving Natoli, the workers at the factory, and Paolo who ends up on Manuela's bicycle.

Things are going nicely for Camilla when she learns more about Nicola and his girlfriend. With her mother, not so much.

Today is the decisive doctor's visit, but it's not entirely what the newlyweds expected. Meanwhile, let's hope Paolo can start paying attention to his company's developments, because something fishy is going on.

Camilla's mother is after her to do her a favor, and Sammy shows up asking a favor, as well.

Emotions run high in this part of the story. Manuela has no idea what Paolo is going through, but they have to go to the adoption interview, so stress is running high, too. As often happens, Natoli provides some relief in his own inimitable way.

Camilla had a hard time of it after seeing what she saw the night before. And she had a hard time in class, too, with students who hadn't studied.

Paolo is surrounded by challenges: Manuela's family, to start with, and then the difficult decisions to make regarding the future of the factory.

At police headquarters things are nice and quiet. But not for long! The officers meet up with Camilla and Sammy at the apartment.

Manuela and Paolo are trying to get ready for getting approval for adoption from Social Services. They get to know each other better in the process, and Natoli shows his true colors, too.

Camilla's normal family dinner with her husband and daughter gets interrupted by an unexpected guest.

Paolo is feeling helpless and discouraged about everything, but Manuela won't give up as easily.

Camilla has become a heroine with her students, and she uses the moment to show her students how well she knows them. It does backfire a bit...

All at once, Paolo has a whole lot on his plate. If he thought he already had problems, the worst is yet to come.

Camilla arrives at school and finds a very angry looking dog.

Events have awakened a true transformation on Paolo's part, but even with all his good intentions, he's running up against some brick walls regarding Natoli.

Veronica Pivetti plays a highschool teacher whose hobby is being a sleuth. The series starts with a "normal" morning, getting ready for school and work.

Natoli is processing the tragic news. There's a meeting at the factory to commemorate Aldo.

Natoli starts listening to Paolo, but there is room for interpretation... Paolo hears some important news.

Paolo finally gets to see the inside of the family business. It's tough for him to play at being the boss.

Someone goes to school, someone goes to work, and someone goes to play "president."
