Giacomo reveals his "discovery" to his family. He tells Mario about the girl he likes. Mario manages to leave with a nice check, signed by Giacomo.

Mario is repaying some debts and buying presents for his family, but his efforts go unappreciated. Giacomo's family is becoming alarmed at how much money he is spending, and decides to do something about it.

Mario manages to put certain ideas in Giacomo's head so that when he gets to the meeting with the notary, he is not the complacent brother everyone is expecting.

Mario gets invited to dinner at Giacomo's parents' house without Giacomo's knowledge. They have him figured out, and ask him to disappear. Giacomo shows up at the office, as promised.

Mario explains karma to a friend. Giacomo surprises his sister at the office. And sister and brother even have a bite to eat together there at the end of the day.

Mario is still in big financial trouble and knows that only Giacomo can help him. What will he come up with next to con his friend into giving him the money?

Maybe, just maybe, Mario is starting to feel bad about what he is doing. Giacomo confides in his sister about the money he needs, and Mario has a surprise encounter at a vending machine he is supplying.

Giacomo finds a way to obtain the money he needs for Mario. There are strings attached, however, and he informs his sister about it. Giacomo makes a surprise visit to Mario's house, and Ginevra makes a surprise phone call to Mario. Things are closing in on him from all sides.

Just when Mario felt he was getting his family back, a little karma comes his way to stir things up.

After discovering that Mario isn't really ill, Giacomo goes looking for Professor Stern once again, hoping to find some answers.

We don't want to give away the ending, so let's just say that Giacomo goes back to the cafe where the redhead works and... who shows up, but Mario.

After a night of intimacy, Ugo and Nora seem to have differing ideas about what it meant. Meanwhile, Iside and Dino are already basking in what they think is the aftermath.

Nora manages to talk to Roberto for a moment to make sure he goes ahead with the divorce. She meets some potential new clients. Ugo is oblivious to these events and is busy buying flowers for Nora.

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.

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.
