Doctor Vitali is standing on the balcony next to the one where Imma and her husband are watching the procession, and he takes the opportunity to talk about work.

Michele is looking for a work of art to give as an important gift. Meanwhile, at the Nest, they continue to dig and are finally about to discover what lies beneath the slab.

Two inmates from the Bollate prison who work in the kitchen share their perspectives about the outside and how to become reintegrated in society. Both agree that it's not easy but that inmates are people, too.

Imma rushes to join her husband and daughter on a small terrace they have likely rented, to watch the Bruna festival, and in that instant, she receives an important text message. Meanwhile, Valentina goes to greet Samuel, who confesses a secret.

The school kids go around the Nest asking questions and exploring the place when they find the hole where the workers are digging. At that point, Eleonora asks her friend to take the kids away.

Said talks about how working gives a person dignity. He feels changed and reiterates that one always returns to one's roots, to the person they were before ending up in prison. No one was born a thief.

The day of the Bruna festival has arrived, but Imma and Calogiuri are finishing up their work in the office. Once finished, Calogiuri expresses to Imma everything he thinks and feels, much to Imma's surprise, who thought he was a man of few words. At a certain point, he says the same thing twice, but switches to addressing her informally. Details matter sometimes!

Riccardo tries to approach and talk to Menicucci twice, even asking Michele for advice on how to do it, but he doesn't succeed. At the Nido, the visiting class doesn't seem very inclined to listen to the history of the place.

Davide tells how he lives in semi-freedom, allowing him to spend half the year at home. However, this comes with obligations that must be respected. Davide has learned to see the world from a different perspective and this has taught him a lot.

Imma summarizes with Calogiuri how things went regarding Don Mariano's death and, reconstructing the events, decides to send some notices to those involved.

Eleonora had forgotten that her teacher friend was going to bring her students on a field trip to the Nest. She has to go to work and asks Chiara for help in welcoming them. Meanwhile, the police arrive while Michele is on the phone.

"An inmate is not a walking crime". This is how Silvia emphasizes that the inmates are people with everyday lives and their personal stories, and deserve some respect. It is healthy for people on the outside to become familiar with what prison is and can be.

Imma receives a package containing Don Mariano's tablet. The note inside says that the tablet contains all the evidence that Don Mariano had collected.

Riccardo is trying to give the bribe to the person indicated by Michele but gets it wrong. Meanwhile, a school group arrives at the Nido asking for Eleonora.

Silvia and Chef Davide are discussing a reservation, and she maintains that Davide should be more flexible regarding the changes communicated by the customer. Silvia also talks about what "alternative measures" are all about.
