Franco Migliaccio is filled with pessimism and Johnny Dorelli is filled with fear, but Mimmo is feeling very sure of himself at the Sanremo Festival.

Leila can barely open her eyes or speak, but she understands what Imma is asking her, and manages to tell her about what happened to Aida.

It's New Year's Eve and Mimmo and Franca celebrate with friends. As promised, Mimmo gets some concert clothes from the Sanremo festival. And then, the big day arrives and Domenico finds himself in the midst of already famous artists.

Thanks to Imma and her team, Staffieri is arrested. Romaniello goes to Nunzia's house with Imma to ask forgiveness.

When Franca comes home after her day on set, she finds Mimmo asleep on the couch surrounded by sheets of music paper. She has some news for him. He goes to Milan to meet with Gramitto who has always been skeptical about the new song ever taking off.

It's the eve of Ferragosto, the big August holiday. Imma has her mind on work, but in the midst of the dinner table chatter, she turns her attention to her daughter, Valentina, who is still not speaking to her.

In the middle of the night, Mimmo finally comes up with the refrain to the song that would become famous the world over. He can't curb his enthusiasm and calls Franco and Gramitto, even though it's three in the morning.

Imma convinces Nunzia to talk. And she has plenty to say. Imma and Calogiuri discuss the case as they go to the supermarket for groceries, since the next day, all the shops will be closed.

Three months have passed, and Mimmo and Riccardo are still trying to find the right lyrics for the song. Their frustration comes to the surface and the song risks going up in smoke.

Imma gets some important information from the beautician. Back at her in-laws' house, Imma tries to remove the tattoo, and Pietro is helping his mother in the kitchen. Calogiuri calls with some new information, which Imma wants to act on right away.

As Franco Migliacci wakes up after his hangover, he sees the poster he bought of Chagall's famous blue painting, and starts writing some lyrics. Later on he gets together with Mimmo, and has to be cajoled into showing him what he has written.

During the bus ride, Imma sees someone with a familiar-looking tattoo and finds out where it came from. They arrive at Pietro's mother's house, where they need to make introductions, since Imma's mother doesn't recognize anyone.

Mimmo doesn't want to have to change the lyrics of his latest song. Riccardo and Franco try to pressure him to do it, for the money. Franco is out of work, and Mimmo wants to help him.

Calogiuri has done some research about the Paradise Farm, run by Saverio Romaniello's non-profit organization. Imma makes a surprise visit to Romaniello and subtly lets him know how much she knows about him.

Mimmo has realized that Franca wasn't the problem blocking him from songwriting. He misses her terribly, in fact, and his friend Franco comes up with an idea.
