When Gaetano meets Meg, he tells her that her sister Holly had been in a relationship with Marinetti. Camilla goes to see Renzo at his studio and gets some shocking news.

From talking to Camilla, Gaetano connects some dots and rushes to the hotel to talk to Meg right as she is leaving.

After Meg's confession, Gaetano and Camilla go to dinner to discuss the conclusion of the case. While talking, Gaetano asks Camilla something but at that moment she receives an emergency phone call from home and rushes off without answering.

Renzo is at home with Camilla and is very nervous about the competition, so he decides to go to bed while Camilla watches the news and discovers what happened to a famous art restorer.

Gaetano is at the villa where the victim was found. Camilla calls him with some interesting bits of news and they make plans to get together the next morning. Renzo and Livietta are both agitated and, according to Camilla, being a bit melodramatic.

Before class, the students in class are excited about the coming beauty contest and keep taking photos. Camilla is having trouble reaching Renzo and trouble with her car, too. Fortunately, Susy comes to her rescue.

Camilla and Susanna are at the marriage agency, when the school principal shows up, without an appointment, to see Dr. Tucci. But Berardi and Torre show up, as well.

Berardi and Torre ask Tucci for information about the victim's dating history, but the person with whom the woman had a date cannot be traced. Susanna admits to being in love with Nico, while Camilla is worried about Renzo.

Renzo finally returns home with bad news. Despite the compliments he received, the highly-connected candidate won. Gaetano, while at home with his girlfriend, receives a message from Camilla, and jealousy takes over.

People seem to think Alberto is a bit nuts. He's about to go on live TV, and people around him hope he doesn't botch it. The name of the TV show is Non è mai troppo tardi (it's never too late). What's implied in the title is that it's never to late to learn to read and write. In Italian, a person who never learned to read or write is called analfabeta.

In Italy, at least in the past, the process of distributing teaching jobs was a real jungle, as you will see. The list, assembled by a complicated point system, involving test scores, experience, seniority, etc, was what would determine whether an aspiring teacher would have a job that year or not. Alberto Manzi knows he is qualified, but gets an unpleasant surprise at the education office.

Manzi goes to the reform school for his first day of teaching and finds out all the things he will or won't be able to do.

Will Alberto Manzi be up to the task of dealing with these rough, incarcerated boys? On his off-hours, Alberto goes to see the parish priest about a missing person.

Alberto's friend, Eugenio, is ready to call it quits when it comes to teaching. Alberto is convinced that kids are the future, but even though he made some headway with the kids at the reformatory his first day, there are still huge obstacles.

Manzi isn't getting anywhere with the kids at the reformatory. He talks to the director, and then goes to the Board of Education, too, to complain.
