The death of the young Ukrainian woman, who had just become a mother, raises many questions: the identity of a rescued child, a possible blood relationship and the evident signs of a murder. Between DNA tests and professional tensions, they attempt to reconstruct the story.

The investigations are only at the beginning and the autopsy results are not yet available. For now it emerges that there are no signs of struggle and that the girl was caught by surprise. Meanwhile, at home, Giuseppe and Laura rediscover their complicity.

While the little girl hovers between life and death in the hospital, the forensic police and investigators begin to dig into the past of the young woman found dead. A regular residence permit, jobs as a domestic worker in upscale neighborhoods, rent paid in cash and too many unanswered questions.

The circle is tightening and the police are investigating two possible profiles: a lawyer and an engineer. Between jokes and internal dynamics at the police station, two officers are assigned to interrogate engineer Senatore and two others go to Nubila.

Il Commissario Manara (Inspector Manara) is an Italian TV series set in the Maremma (southern Tuscany), which centers on Luca Manara, an unorthodox and highly seductive, newly arrived police inspector, played by Guido Caprino.

Commissioner Manara arrives on the scene of the supposed suicide. He questions a witness, and talks to the victim's doctor, and to the medical examiner, who turns out to be an attractive woman who has no problem with shyness.

Manara meets his new boss and from the outset there's tension. We learn that Manara was transferred to his new post because of an affair between Manara and the wife of his former boss.

Commissioner Manara meets up with Lara Rubino, his old classmate from the police academy. She's less than happy to see him and slaps him right across the face.

Rubino, the new inspector, can't stand being in the same room with Manara. And when he doesn't even remember why, she really gets angry. But then they get some interesting news from the morgue...

Manara arrives at his hotel, and the clerk is curt with him until she learns he's the new commissioner. Manara and the deceased are the topics discussed by Rubino and her aunt.

From the gardener, Michele, we learn that the dead professor was not well liked. Rubino lets us know about her soured friendship with Manara at the police academy.

The autopsy shows that the victim couldn't have pulled the trigger, but Manara's boss insists on suicide. Manara and his team have other ideas.

Lara Rubino visits Lenni's villa and finds that his wife has broken in. Manara uses his considerable charm on a vet.

Manara visits the dead professor's daughter and it becomes ever clearer to Manara that the mother's alibi won't hold.

It turns out Lenni's will contains some surprises. Someone important is excluded completely and another person, quite unexpectedly, is included. Meanwhile, Caterina is puzzled by Doctor Masini's behaviour the day of Lenni's death.
