This episode comes to a close with the mystery of Cetinka solved, and everyone having a good time in the backyard. Maria proudly tells her aunt Alice how she duped her teacher into spending time with her alone. Lele lectures Ciccio (who really wants to wear his new shoes) about being truthful, but we know there's someone else he should have been lecturing... In fact, right on cue, an unexpected visitor shows up!

Ciccio gets a talking to from Lele, and there's a barbecue in the back yard with Lele's in-laws. They're somehow very impressed with the foreign housekeeper's homemade Neapolitan pizza!

Ciccio gets what he wanted: fancy sneakers. Maria gets what she wanted: a personal appointment with her teacher. But things aren't so simple...

The mystery of Cetinka is finally getting solved, so tune in for this exciting moment. You'll even find out what it was that smelled like dead bats!

Maria's crush on her Biology teacher is getting way out of hand, although she says she's got it under control. Meanwhile, back at the house, Giacinto is in the bathroom once again, trying to fix the leak. Cetinka joins him to see how he's doing, and from their conversation, we make some interesting new discoveries.

At work, Lele is preoccupied with the Cetinka problem, but then his superior gives him new things to worry about. And if that weren't enough, Grandpa Libero calls him about more missing money and more suspicions, pointing to Giacinto of course.

Some money disappears from Libero's pocket and he immediately suspects Cetinka's boyfriend. Lele doesn't think he should be accusing anyone without proof, and Libero makes a crack about old people. In order to understand the double-entendre, you need to know that a stufa is a heater and that stufare is to be a bore.

The shower is finally getting fixed by a plumber who's dreaming of having his own business, which makes Libero kind of nervous. And Aunt Alice is having a hard time with her boyfriend.

Cetinka's Polish specialty, an onion and mustard soup, doesn't go down well with the Martini family.

Lele's mother-in-law can't bear the idea of having a foreigner in the house taking care of the kids. As usual, she unwittingly betrays her ignorance as well as her bigotry. But privately, Lele isn't totally convinced either.

Lele is having trouble finding a housekeeper within his budget. His assistant at the hospital advises him to look for an "au pair" girl instead. A woman overhears the conversation and offers her services.

The Martini family isn't getting along so well with the new housekeeper. She doesn't give them enough time for breakfast and spends too much money on supplies.

Lele and Sandra talk about the pregnancy and about her future. Lele and Maria have a heart to heart talk about what's been happening in the family.

Lele and Alice talk about what to do about Maria, and after school, Maria has an unpleasant experience at the local pizza place, but then things change.

It's one in the morning, and Grandma Enrica is freaking out because Maria is still missing. They should call the police but don't have a phone. Things are bad. But then...

During Grandpa's afternoon nap, Maria goes out without telling anybody. So now everyone is worried sick that something has happened to her.

Lele visits Sandra's parents to tell them about her pregnancy. He has trouble getting the words out, but in the end, that's a good thing.

Maria goes to see her aunt for some heart to heart talking between women. And Martini talks to his colleagues about Sandra's pregnancy.

Lele starts worrying about his own daughter, and when, that same evening, she asks him to go to a birthday party he has a hard time being objective.

At the hospital, Lele gets a visit from Sandra, a teenager he's known since she was a little girl. She's now gotten herself in big trouble and is looking for advice.

The Martini family hasn't completely settled into the new house yet, so everyone is on edge, and just getting through breakfast and out the door is a huge challenge.

Lele rearranges his schedule to go home and have lunch with his kids, but they're with the in-laws. Instead, he meets his new next door neighbor.

Lele isn't used to the commute and arrives late at the hospital, finding a room full of patients and an angry boss.

The move has been difficult and Lele’s parents come by, unwillingly, to lend a hand.

Grandpa, Lele and his three kids arrive at their new house. Everyone is excited about it--everyone, that is, except Maria who would have preferred to have stayed in Rome near her friends.

The Martini family is getting in the car to leave for their new home in Poggio Fiorito, a residential area outside of Rome. There are some last minute items to pack as well.
