Domenico feels misunderstood by his friends. As he walks with his friend Franco, a magazine cover attracts his attention. He goes to see his agent Gramitto, who has some news for him.

Vaccaro's memory is jogged. He mentions the actor in the movie they're making nearby, so Imma and Calogiuri go to the set to have an informal conversation with Sergio Covaser who is on his lunch break.

Dafne and her father are on the train together. She seems happy, he a bit less. They get off and start hiking.

It's coming on Christmas, and Mimmo is strolling through the street market. He spies an old friend who is clearly not doing so well. Domenico has been in that situation many times in the past and doesn't hesitate to "pay it forward."

Not surprisingly, Valentina is furious with her mother. Imma and Calogiuro go back to the beach to question Vaccaro. Not surprisingly, he has no idea who Aida Bashir is.

Dafne finds a little memento that seems to ground her. Her dad is having a hard time, though. The lyrics of the song in the background seem to mirror what's going on in Dafne's head.

Mimmo is stuck at home taking care of household matters, trying unsuccessfully to write new songs, and Franca is getting work and is out and about. This situation of dissatisfaction and imbalance leads to harsh words.

Imma discovers that Aida used to go to the same club where her daughter, Valentina, is at a party. She does what she feels she has to do.

Dafne is trying to get her father to do more than just lie around. She also has some ideas about changing around the furniture.

Domenico gets an impromptu chance to sing in Italian for a French audience, and it goes well. Not well enough, however, and he is still depressed and feeling uninspired.

Imma buys a dress to replace the one with a stain. Calogiuri has some new information about the victim. Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor gets a disturbing email.

Dafne's father prowls around the house at night with a flashlight. She doesn't get it. She likes running water, which he doesn't get. They are each trying to deal with their grief.

In Paris, Mimmo and Franca are having a rough time getting by. But that doesn't stop Mimmo from wanting to have a good time. They don't agree on the right path to take.

Tataranni and Calogiuri talk to the owners of the dairy farm where the victim's limb had been found. On the way back, Calogiuri gets a good idea.

Dafne is at a party with her friend Viola, and a guy asks her to dance.

Mimmo begins telling about his honeymoon, which was very short and simple and included his friends Riccardo and Rosi. A flashback takes us to the Modugno living room in Rome, where they all watch a little black and white TV where the famous presenter Mike Bongiorno is hosting a game show. Conversation turns to work and they talk about the future.

Imma chases down her mother who is very mixed up about where she lives. She goes to the morgue to talk to the coroner about the new body part that was found.

Dafne takes her lunch break with her new co-worker Camilla and learns a little more about her. At the hairdresser, Dafne gets a phone call from Viola.

Mimmo is describing the moment in which he and Franca take their relationship to another level and when he also finds the rhyme he'd been looking for in the song he'd been writing. Later, during the recording session of Vecchio frac, he finds out the censors have been at work and want him to change the lyrics.

Imma is finally home, ready to have something to eat and discusses this on the phone with her husband. But then he urges her to turn on the local news station, quick.

Dafne and her father are starting to settle in at home. He did some grocery shopping and is fixing dinner. She told him about her day at work.

Domenico hears some tragic news on the radio and it inspires him to express his grief in a song: Vecchio frac (old tuxedo), which later became a hit. He shares his mourning and memories with Franca.
