As Spada gets ready to drive away with his fiancée, he gets accosted by a woman, who clearly knows him, and who needs money for her little girl. Someone ends up on the roof, ready to jump, and of course, Eva can't just stand by and watch.

Marcuccio is in the hospital, and as planned, zia Caterina goes to see him. But all he will come out with are lines from one of Leopardi's poems. Meanwhile Romei is anxious to have the letters he considers his own, but things aren't so simple.

A very exacting client and a very special dessert are the stars of this segment. Don't miss it!

Back at her aunt's house, Lara deals with Giulia when she comes back, and hashes things over with her aunt in the morning. Meanwhile Manara is once again moving his desk around, while discussing both the case and Giulia Chiamparani with Toscani, who's curious as to why Giulia disappeared so quickly.

As luck would have it, the town councilman, for whom the whole party was created, isn't coming. Alessio and Martina have some time to themselves...

In the eyes of Manara's boss, Giulia is the heroine, having recovered the letters, and Manara is a failure for having let the murderer escape from under his nose. Now Giulia's work is finished and she's just about ready to go back to Rome, but she still has some unfinished business... business she doesn't want Lara's help with.

A man walks into the restaurant Il Frutto Proibito (Forbidden Fruit) sure that Eva will hire him as a cook, but before she can even think about it, she gets called away to take care of a situation with her son, Lorenzo...

The party is on. Dancing, flirtation, watermelon contests... Alessio can't find Martina, but when he finally does, he's speechless...

Luca and Giulia are finally alone, in a car, at night, in a typical spot for lovers. Hmm...

Alessio and Martina, while working on the renovations of the beach club, start fooling around and making faces at each other. They're clearly having fun until Alessio goes one step further...

La ladra (The Thief) is a television series starring Veronica Pivetti, who plays Eva Marsiglia, a high level chef. But that's not all she does!

After a fruitless search in the rain, Luca and Brigadiere head home, but all of a sudden the dog starts sniffing around a hunter's shack, and sure enough, Luca discovers Marcuccio hiding inside, but the big man is not talking. And if that weren't enough, Manara's boss continues to put pressure on him and his team to bring in the perpetrator.

Alessio invites everyone he knows to the party at the Serenella beach club, and asks Martina to invite her friends, too, but she's not thrilled about that...

Marcuccio has gotten hungry, and so he's gone to see the only person he could trust, Lara's zia Caterina. But by the time anyone could come to help her, he'd disappeared again, leaving his jacket behind. Lara's dog, Brigadiere, gets a good whiff and goes off with Luca to look for Marcuccio. A storm has come up, making things more difficult.

Alessio has a very creative idea for saving the beach club. Tonino is skeptical, but gradually warms to the idea.
