Alberto Manzi takes an exam, getting a high grade. He takes the opportunity to express his ideas about teaching troubled young people. There's trouble at the reformatory, and Alberto steps in.

Now that the case has been solved, all that needs to happen is for Bibì to go back to Francesca. Livietta isn't so sure about that.

Ida reads the letters Alberto had left for her and is clearly moved. She looks out the window at the empty bench...

Renzo still has Bibì and has a frustrating phone call with Camilla. At the police station, Lenox's "secretary" explains herself.

Alberto sleeps on the park bench across from Ida's apartment and then goes to work at the prison, where, once again, it's an uphill battle.

Camilla has an interesting and enlightening conversation with Signora Voglino. For some reason, Berardi shows up, too.

Alberto gets a friend to drive him to where Ida teaches. He recognizes her right away as the kids come out of the school.

They discover the gun belonged to Francesca. Debbie talks to the class, and Camilla gleans a spark of information that might prove useful. Gaetano goes to talk to Camilla and she gives him a good talking too.

Manzi isn't getting anywhere with the kids at the reformatory. He talks to the director, and then goes to the Board of Education, too, to complain.

The photographer gives Berardi some more details, but there is still the question of the missing gun. Potti and Bibì seem to have made up completely and Camilla and Renzo might not be in total agreement about what to do next.

Alberto's friend, Eugenio, is ready to call it quits when it comes to teaching. Alberto is convinced that kids are the future, but even though he made some headway with the kids at the reformatory his first day, there are still huge obstacles.

Torre discovers the criminal record of the photographer's accomplice and she gets questioned again. Camilla is exhausted, and Renzo tells her about the kiss Livietta's friend Giulio gave her.

Will Alberto Manzi be up to the task of dealing with these rough, incarcerated boys? On his off-hours, Alberto goes to see the parish priest about a missing person.

Gaetano is taking Camilla and Francesca home, but gets a phone call from Torre and so there's a change of plans. After dance class, Renzo has a little talk with Livietta about the kiss he saw her receive.

Manzi goes to the reform school for his first day of teaching and finds out all the things he will or won't be able to do.
