Eva is cooking up a storm, but it's also time to help Alba. Lorenzo has a bad night.

Lorenzo explains what had happened the night before. Eva goes to visit Augusto and sees an old picture postcard sent to him from her ex-husband. Then she sees Dante with another woman. What a day.

Eva crosses the street to confront Dante. Later, Eva and Gina put on disguises, complete with fake IDs, to carry out their plan.

Gina is not very happy about the role she has to play in the hotel caper. Eva gets a few surprises: one by mail and one in person.

Eva is stuck in the hotel room with her prey, but after a quick S.O.S. via text to the girls next door, Lola leaps into action.

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.

A young man is departing by train and says goodbye to his two parents in different ways. In another scene, a little girl is going to school very reluctantly and her brother has to practically drag her there.

We meet a few of the musicians attending the conservatory and the orchestra conductor, who is no-nonsense and stern.

Matteo makes his way to his uncle's apartment. Never mind that his uncle was supposed to come to the station to get him... They agree that there is no point in worrying Matteo's father with the truth.

Matteo arrives late for class and is told, to sit next to Sara who begins asking him questions. It turns out she is almost blind. After the lesson, Matteo meets some of his classmates.

A teacher reads a passage from one of Shakespeare's sonnets and asks the class to interpret it. Matteo speaks up. Here is the original English: "Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Resembling sire and child and happy mother,
Who, all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Sings this to thee: 'Thou single wilt prove none."

Matteo is having a violin lesson when Marioni passes by in the hall and hears him. Matteo's lesson ends early and he is about to learn more about the orchestra conductor everyone thinks of as il bastardo (the bastard).

Marioni puts Matteo to the test, asking him to play first violin in the Brahms symphony, together with the entire orchestra. Later, Domenico tells him about someone who had crumbled under Marioni's harsh treatment.
