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.

Camilla is able to find out why Debbie acts the way she does at school. Enzo goes to the dance school hoping to see Pamela. He does see something else interesting, however. Camilla and Gaetano give Francesca a ride home.

In Italy, at least in the past, the process of distributing teaching jobs was a real jungle, as you will see. The list, assembled by a complicated point system, involving test scores, experience, seniority, etc, was what would determine whether an aspiring teacher would have a job that year or not. Alberto Manzi knows he is qualified, but gets an unpleasant surprise at the education office.

Potti and Bibì seem happy to be home together, and Livietta is happy too. The jeweler has gone to police headquarters to talk with Torre. At school, there is tension between Debbie and Eugenia. Renzo is thinking about taking dancing lessons.

People seem to think Alberto is a bit nuts. He's about to go on live TV, and people around him hope he doesn't botch it. The name of the TV show is Non è mai troppo tardi (it's never too late). What's implied in the title is that it's never to late to learn to read and write. In Italian, a person who never learned to read or write is called analfabeta.

Camilla and Renzo are looking for the dogs... Inspector Berardi goes to see Maciste at the amusement park. The next morning, Gaetano shows up at school needing a favor from Camilla.

Berardi gets a phone call before leaving Camilla. Renzo goes to pick up Livietta and sees the dance teacher dancing. Meanwhile, on the home front, there is some drama involving Potti, Bibì, and Camilla's mother.

Berardi discovers who owned the gun that killed Lenox and goes to see his superior to take himself off the case. Meanwhile, Camilla goes to Francesca's apartment to get the dogfood for Bibì.
