Imma and Pietro are at a concert of a female saxophone quartet. Calogiuri is studying, but something about the Bruno case comes up.

Andrea Saponara goes with Calogiuri to Imma's office where she questions him. He admits to having known Domenico Bruno and tells her his story.

The journalist hanging out at the prosecutor's office thought he had breaking news about Andrea Saponara being a suspect and published it in his Lucania News. Andrea became aware of it and acted.

Imma is devastated by the news of Andrea Saponara's suicide and her team is trying to be supportive. Then Imma gets a surprise visit from someone who needs to talk to her. It's someone who knew Andrea.

Clearly, Imma has been deeply affected by Andrea Saponaro's suicide. Her solution is to peel a lot of potatoes. The next day, there is a press conference at the prosecutor's office, where Zaza the journalist tries to get a rise out of her with a provocatory question.

Imma goes to Bruno's funeral and Calogiuri goes to Andrea Saponaro's. Imma is approached by a woman on a dark street.

After Imma talks with Andrea's mother, she seeks out Calogiuri and updates him. He tells her about his coming exam for becoming a marshal and about how things have evolved with Maria Luisa.

Imma is home feeling weakened by recent events. Pietro is very supportive and convinces her to take a day off, something she had never done before.

Imma is taking a vacation day, but is she really capable of that? She goes hiking with Pietro but he slowly realizes she has ulterior motives. By chance, they meet up with Ettore Rossetti, the person who originally found the dead body of Domenico Bruno.

Imma can't help herself and goes to the office. Diana gives her some important information to mull over. The young people are having a little party for Calogiuri who is leaving for his exam in Rome the next day.

Penelope gets some news she shares with Valentina. Imma is upset about Calogiuri's leaving, but throws herself into her work, confronting Bruno's son about his project in Vallone della Femmina.

Imma interviews Giulio Bruno, the son of the murdered architect, Domenico. Giulio seems forthcoming about what happened with his uncle in Argentina.

Valentina goes to see her grandmother, who may have dementia but can still offer good advice. Imma discovers that her husband plays soccer with the prefect, Moliterni's husband.

Diana has some information for Imma, some of it urgent. Imma calls on Calogiuri even though he is about to take his exam.

Imma and Pietro go to dinner at the prefect's and play with some Latin proverbs. One of these gives Imma an idea about the case.
