Sister Helga and Moscati give the patient a bath and talk about how medicine is nothing without love. Moscati has some unorthodox teaching methods, as well as some novel "therapy" for his patients.

The formal, ceremonious aspect of the Nobel Prize awards was not what Rita Levi-Montalcini was used to, but she used that recognition to her advantage. Winning the Nobel Prize wasn't necessarily the high point in her career.

Moscati discovers what Aniello died of and feels profoundly aggrieved and powerless. He seems to have doubts about his role as a doctor.

Because of the racial laws in Italy during the period of Fascism, many Jews left the country, including Rita Levi Montalcini. In Italy she wasn't allowed to work or publish papers, but somehow, she found a way to keep going.

Moscati can't find Aniello in the hospital and discovers he had run off. Moscati goes out looking for him.

Rita Levi Montalcini was a strong proponent of education and instruction as the means to gain freedom. She was also an example of it. This segment describes a visit to women in prison, and the obstacles Montalcini had to face, as a woman and as a Jew, during the Nazi-Fascist regime.

Giorgio goes to see Cloe perform, but afterwards, he makes an important decision. Giuseppe finally finds Aniello, who is not doing well at all.

As a child, Rita Levi Montalcini was shy and insecure. Her father wanted her to get married and have children, but she had other plans for her life. She also had a twin sister who was an artist.

Both Giuseppe and Giorgio take the exam for the available position. They each have to diagnose a patient and the examination board isn't kind to either of them.

Rita Levi Montalcini talks about what, as a little girl, she wanted to be when she grew up. One of her main goals was to help women, especially ones from poor countries, become what they were meant to become.

Moscati risks his life to save some of the patients from the hospital. It took courage and patience.

Rita Levi Montalcini dedicated a great part of her life to young people, especially young researchers, and though she had no children of her own, she felt that all kinds of young people were like sons and daughters to her.

In 1906 Vesuvius erupted, its worst eruption of the entire 20th century. Torre del Greco, a town near Vesuvius, was particularly affected. Buildings collapsed, sick people were trapped inside the hospitals, and Giuseppe and Giorgio rushed there to help out.

Rita Levi Montalcini felt that imagination was the "secret sauce" of her research. And this encouraged her to turn to young people, who have plenty of imagination. She didn't hesitate to teach kids of junior high school age, which came as a surprise to some people, since she was a winner of the Nobel prize.

Giorgio goes to see Cloe perform again, while Giuseppe takes Elena to a place that isn't easy to reach. The two friends are clearly in love.
