Alba shows up in the director's hotel room and the girls wait to see whether or not their plan has worked.

The girls "take care" of the suffering man, and get him to sign a paper. Back at the restaurant, Dante has been lovingly creative in the kitchen.

We're back at the restaurant where Eva tries to guess the ingredients in Dante's new dish. Alba is there too to celebrate some good news. The commissioner of police happens to show up, as well and has some bizarre questions for Andreina.

The morning of the operation has arrived and the nurse goes through a checklist with Luigi to make sure he is ready before being taken to the operating room.

It's time to go to the operating room. A priest arrives to give him an encouraging word, and Elena walks with him as far as she can. Luigi is still worried about his surgeon having jet lag.

As he is being wheeled towards the operating room, Luigi reflects on how the hierarchy of the hospital can be discerned by how people vent their anger and on whom.

The operation seems to have gone well, but forty-eight hours have to go by before they can be 100% sure.

Luigi is trying to rest, but it's not easy with a roommate who talks, and the feelings of nausea he is experiencing. He thinks out loud about how different doctors say different things regarding a patient's health.

Elena gets to talk to Luigi after the operation. The topic is resilience, a very important characteristic of the healing process.

The hospital personnel have a special relationship with the elevator. There is a new female walking the corridors and nobody fails to notice her. Doctor Zamagna goes to see Luigi.
