Ciccio gets what he wanted: fancy sneakers. Maria gets what she wanted: a personal appointment with her teacher. But things aren't so simple...

Ciccio gets a talking to from Lele, and there's a barbecue in the back yard with Lele's in-laws. They're somehow very impressed with the foreign housekeeper's homemade Neapolitan pizza!

This episode comes to a close with the mystery of Cetinka solved, and everyone having a good time in the backyard. Maria proudly tells her aunt Alice how she duped her teacher into spending time with her alone. Lele lectures Ciccio (who really wants to wear his new shoes) about being truthful, but we know there's someone else he should have been lecturing... In fact, right on cue, an unexpected visitor shows up!

Maria's crush on her Biology teacher is getting way out of hand, although she says she's got it under control. Meanwhile, back at the house, Giacinto is in the bathroom once again, trying to fix the leak. Cetinka joins him to see how he's doing, and from their conversation, we make some interesting new discoveries.

Ciccio and Maria are in the backyard, when Alberto shows up unexpectedly. The neighbors look on.

Lele is trying to get Annuccia to eat her lunch and Libero helps out. Uncle Giulio stops by to tell Lele he should get out more and start dating.

Lele deals with a patient who says she has trouble sleeping. Libero answers an ad from a sleep center.

Nilde calls her brother, Lele, wondering if Alberto had shown up there. The next-door neighbors come by with some information, but they bicker so much that it is hard for Lele and Libero to figure out what they are talking about. But somehow, Lele finally puts two and two together.

It's breakfast time in the Martini household. Lele is late but he has to deal with Alberto. Cettina and Libero have a little discussion about pillows and work.

Libero is still trying to figure out how to sell his pillows and experiments on his friend who has shown up to watch some tennis on TV. They talk about Lele and the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend. Later, Libero goes to the Sleep Center intending to talk to the man who sold him the pillows.

Libero tries to sell his pillows to the neighbors. Giulio shows up with a surprise for Lele.

"Uncle" Giulio finally sits down for dinner, but there is a strange vibe at the table. Later, Lele goes up to bed and has a surprise waiting for him.

Alberto and his mother meet up at the breakfast table. Tensions are high, Libero tries to help out in his way, Lele needs to leave for work, but he can't leave his sister in the state she is in.
