The centerpiece of this segment is dinner. Pasta. In Italian, spaghetti is the plural of spaghetto (a strand of spaghetti), and Italians like their pasta al dente which literally means "to the tooth." In other words, it should be cooked just enough to be bitten, therefore firm, not hard, but by all means not soft.

Ada provides Luca with some welcome company, food, and gossip. Ginevra communicates the cause of death, while Luca and Lara toss around a couple of different possible hypotheses surrounding the motorcyclist.

Toscani, Lara, and Luca are working on the case, but Toscani is clearly distracted. Luca tries to get some information from Gabriele's rival.

Paolo clearly cares more about Natoli than his car, Manuela thinks Paolo is like the other bosses, and Natoli is becoming resigned to going back to his country. It's a mess.

Lara and Luca have been skirting the marriage issue, but they do finally talk about it, albeit briefly. Meanwhile, they get some new information about the case.

The sad occasion of a funeral is also a good place to observe the people who attend.

Rubino and Sardi go to question Elena, Gabriele's ex-girlfriend, while Manara questions Elena's current boyfriend.

There's a strike going on in the factory, and some dirty dealings going on, too. Meanwhile Paolo, with Natoli's expert help, is doing what he can to figure things out.

Luca confides in Toscani who is, however, not very encouraging on the subject of marriage. Lara calls with some information, and Luca goes back to question Lupo.

Our professoressa finds herself involved in trying to solve the case. She seems to be enjoying it, too.

Luca's charm works like a charm and he's able to obtain the information he needs from the woman in the motorcycle shop.

Paolo has to gather all his wits to figure out what's happening in the company. He confronts Salmastri, but Salmastri is truly slippery, and not to be underestimated.

There's some girl talk between Lara and Sardi, Luca is not a great dinner guest, and Buttafuoco and Barbagallo make an interesting discovery.

Our teacher is a good sleuth, but cooking is not her strong point, and her Indian sesame breadsticks don't make a huge hit at home, either.

Luca questions Lupo, and figures out how to find out for sure who murdered Gabriele, but as usual, he's immune to warnings about how dangerous it will be.
