Giulia Parri and Righini, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, come in to police headquarters to clear up a couple of things, but then Manara has one of his famous moments of great intuition.

The team is at its best this time. And someone who is usually in the sidelines steps in with prontezza (quick reflexes) and brings this case to a climax.

Manara's team decides the best way to find out what's going on with Righini and Parri is to go to the post-contest party that evening.

Luca gets himself into an embarrassing situation with Marta. But he somehow wriggles out of it with an undercover assignment for her.

Tension rises between Marta and Manara. Then Manara gets stopped by the police. It's just routine, but there's a glitch.

Luca is able to talk to Giulia's father, and then with Giulia herself. He also talks to the people from the newspaper. Marta receives a mysterious phone call.

Luca and Caterina meet up by chance and and are chatting when Caterina's phone rings. Later, Luca and Marta meet up at Ada's and talk about the case, but not only.

Another suspect gets questioned, and then Toscani gets questioned by Manara, on a totally different matter.

While Toscani is investigating Rivera, Luca questions a contestant who gives him some interesting new information.

The cause of death has been discovered, but that's about all. Manara talks to the members of the Miss Maremma jury.

There are various mysteries to be solved, but Luca seems preoccupied with the mystery surrounding the new inspector.

Toscani has some news about who was on the jury. All the contestants in the Miss Maremma contest come to police headquarters for questioning.

This new episode takes place in the world of beauty contests. Manara seems slightly distracted in both his dreamworld and the real world.

Inspector Rivera is very much appreciated at Police Headquarters, and so is Manara, but for different reasons and by different people.

The team figures out how the crime happened, and Manara has to reveal his more compassionate, sensitive side to bring this investigation to an end.
