Antonino is in the kitchen with Michele from Eboli preparing a pasta dish with provola, eggplant and red mullet.

Today Antonino cooks special, grooved spaghetti, with garlic, oil and hot peppers. It's a classic pasta recipe, but our chef adds some extra ingredients to give it a different twist.

Antonino shares a new and easy recipe with grape or cherry tomatoes, buffalo stracciatella, and shrimp. But what makes the dish special is the special pasta: Penne with ridges both inside and out.

Antonino has a visitor from Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast, who brings in some of the world-famous Sorrento lemons. They prepare whole-wheat spaghetti with a simple sauce featuring lemon rind and bottarga (salted fish roe).

Serena is a university student from Maratea. She's just come back from an internship in Russia. She tells us about Russia, and also about her plans for New Year's Eve.

Matarazzo and Calagiuri hit a dead end in their first encounter at the University of Bari. Imma finally gets to consult the files associated with Bruno's disappearance fifteen years prior. Diana asks her for a favor she shouldn't have.

Imma is back in the office when she gets an unexpected visitor.

Some evidence has been burned in what appears to be a gas leak, and Imma is very concerned for her case against Romaniello. She goes back to her office to fight back when she has two different visitors, one more welcome than the other.

Imma meets her colleagues at the crime scene and recognizes the victim. The marshal of the Pisticci Carabinieri also knew the young woman who apparently had taken her own life.

Imma is offering her condolences to the parents of the victim, while gently questioning them. At the same time, she thinks back to a conversation she had had with Donata.

Grandma and granddaughter prepare a traditional dish from Basilicata, called la ciambotta, a kind of stew with vegetables, and sometimes meat. Valentina serves it to her parents that evening. The next day, Imma and Diana talk about the parliamentarian, Lombardi.

Imma talks to the proprietor of the restaurant where Donata was to try out as a waitress. She also has a more fruitful conversation with an employee. Later on, she takes her mother to the eye doctor, where she gets somewhat of a jolt.

Imma takes her mother to the eye doctor and by chance absorbs some new information about her past. She talks about the Romaniello case with Vitali and lets him know she will be gone for a couple of days.

Imma has decided to go to Rome on her own dime to try to talk to Lombardi. Pietro isn't convinced about her motivation. The bus trip isn't very comfortable.

Imma arrives in Rome and gets on a motor scooter for the first time. She and Calogiuri discuss the murder case and then Imma goes to talk to Lombardi.
