Camilla and Susanna are at the marriage agency, when the school principal shows up, without an appointment, to see Dr. Tucci. But Berardi and Torre show up, as well.

Berardi and Torre ask Tucci for information about the victim's dating history, but the person with whom the woman had a date cannot be traced. Susanna admits to being in love with Nico, while Camilla is worried about Renzo.

Renzo finally returns home with bad news. Despite the compliments he received, the highly-connected candidate won. Gaetano, while at home with his girlfriend, receives a message from Camilla, and jealousy takes over.

Torre and Berardi are finishing questioning the man who was hospitalized on the day of the restorer's death, when Camilla arrives. Renzo returns to the office and receives an unwelcome reception from his team.

Gaetano wants to question Susi, and Camilla asks to be present. When her colleague answers a certain question, Camilla is a bit disconcerted. At work, Renzo advises a couple of clients to change architects for reasons of taste.

Camilla goes to see Renzo whose clients have left him, in addition to his assistants. She tries to comfort him without success. Gaetano returns home to his insecure fiancée.

Renzo is still very depressed about work and the blackbird is getting on his nerves. To complete the picture, Camilla's mother shows up and says she will stay with them for a few days.

Gaetano asks Sabrina some questions while Torre and his colleagues recover materials from Tucci's marriage agency. At school, Camilla has the students write an essay about Grimaldi when she notices that something is not right with Celeste.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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