The contents of the blue backpack point to a possible motive. Luca talks to his sister again, but she is still visibly upset, which is understandable. Marta finally talks to Luca about what has been weighing on her for a while.

Luca goes to see Ginevra about the autopsy, but he confides in her, too. Toscani is having trouble telling Luca the results of his investigation into the passengers of the bus.

Luca is very upset with his sister. He feels betrayed and starts getting really worried, both for her and for himself, since he has gone out on a limb for her. The investigation continues.

Marta is very convincing in her role as a sexy dancer at the night club, maybe too convincing. The situation takes a darker turn and she gets more and more concerned.

After questioning the bus driver, Luca isn't convinced he's the murderer. Meanwhile, Tiziana doesn't seem to be taking house arrest very seriously.

Rivera and Manara review the surveillance video of the bus and see something new. Meanwhile, Tiziana seems to have fallen in love.

Marta and Luca are getting closer to the truth and gradually find more pieces to the puzzle, thanks, in part, to some good police work by Barbagallo and Buttafuoco.

Marta and Luca manage to figure out what happened, and Luca tells the story to his boss, Casadio. Manara gets out of the office with the excuse of a physical therapy session.

With some prodding by Marta, the scene where Luca is lying on the ground and says "I love you" comes into focus for him.

Manara meets first with Casadio and then with Raimondi, but doesn't get his answers answered to his satisfaction. But then, he gets a phone call about a dead body, so he has to race off.

Rosmini takes a look at the body. Manara talks to the woman who found the dead man. He goes back to the police station where the new member of his squad is waiting for him.

As Lara and Luca go to question the victim's wife, it turns out a third dog has gone missing. Luca can't help but notice how self-assured Lara has become.

The card that came with the flowers for Lara contained an important message. One of the people Luca wants to question comes to the police station of his own accord.

Lara plans to go and stay at her aunt's house, though Caterina is gone. Luca is clearly preoccupied when he goes to the morgue to talk to Ginevra about the autopsy.

Manara's team goes to the hunters' bar to find Nino La Martina and have some lunch at the same time, perhaps. There was perhaps a bit more action than they were prepared for, but, of course, that goes with the job.
