Sofia goes up to the roof to practice her cello, but ends up singing a song (in English). When Maestro Marioni gets home from an amorous encounter, he watches a video where Matteo's previous violin teacher introduces him and explains his special situation.

After Stefano's decision to leave the Jams, there's a risk that the kids might lose the contest final. Alice is agitated, but Max tries to calm her down by telling her that everything will be fine.

Joy received confirmation from Stefano that he no longer wants to participate in the contest. In class, the teacher returns the assignments and compliments all the students. To everyone's great surprise, even Max got a full passing grade.

During the lesson on main courses, Joy seems very distracted and Alice thinks it's because of Stefano. The Jams seem to be in real trouble now that even Max hasn't shown up.

Alice asks Joy to try to talk to Stefano since she likes him, but he's not responding to messages anymore. At the contest, the kids are dealing with a second course, and in the end, the Jams will present a meatloaf.

In the challenge of the second courses, with a twist, the Jams slip to third place. Only the dessert challenge was left, but the final is not yet compromised if they manage to climb back up the rankings.

When Joy locks herself in her room, her mother joins her to understand what's happening. At that moment, Max calls to warn that Stefano has run away, and the girl rushes to the park to meet the others and figure out what to do.

Joy finally realizes where Stefano might be and goes looking for him. She finds out what went wrong.

After Stefano returned with the Jams, things seem to have gone back to normal. Alice reflects on the fact that their age isn't an easy one because there are many changes. Some beautiful, others less so.

At school, Stefano has good news, but then, class begins. The teacher asks the students to observe what's outside the window and express what they see and feel through drawing. She is particularly struck by a couple of drawings, albeit for different reasons.

For the finals, there will be an exceptional guest, a famous chef, and the kids are beside themselves with excitement. JAMS needs to go up in the rankings, and Melissa's team changes their approach to winning.

Stefano and Joy prepare the cake for Alice and Max makes sure Joy has some ideas for inviting both of the birthday girl's parents. When Max takes Alice to the amusement park, she notices something strange.

Max and Alice are at the amusement park and want to go on a ride, but the place looks deserted. Everything is ready at the bistrot except for the cake, which Joy should be bringing. On the way to the party, she runs into her little friend on his bike.

Ettore wants to make sure Joy isn't talking to her parents about him and uses bullying words with her. She manages to get away and goes to the bistro to meet Stefano. Alice's parents arrive and are shocked to see each other.
