Paolo and Maura go to the theater to see Jannacci's show, but he suddenly fell ill and has a very high fever. Chiesa then asks Paolo to save the evening.

Paolo briefly improvises to announce Jannacci's absence and, between jokes and banter, gets a surprisingly positive response from the audience. After saying goodbye to Chiesa, he is approached by a well-known figure who makes him a proposal.

Paolo is worried about the future and dissatisfied with his job at Cosider. Maura is by his side and together they decide to go to Rome to understand how things will evolve.
