Encouraged by the woman who took him home with her, Alessio phones his mother and leaves a message. He then relaxes, and even falls asleep, but gets a rude awakening!

Alessio resumes his trip, heading for the train station, but on the way, he runs into none other than his former boss, Antonino from the beach club.

Alessio discovers why Tonino was so upset. The beach club is in danger of being demolished.

Alessio is back at the beach club and shares a bed with Tonino's daughter, Martina. Once again he goes to the train station to meet up with his friends in Amsterdam...

Alessio has a very creative idea for saving the beach club. Tonino is skeptical, but gradually warms to the idea.

Alessio invites everyone he knows to the party at the Serenella beach club, and asks Martina to invite her friends, too, but she's not thrilled about that...

Alessio and Martina, while working on the renovations of the beach club, start fooling around and making faces at each other. They're clearly having fun until Alessio goes one step further...

The party is on. Dancing, flirtation, watermelon contests... Alessio can't find Martina, but when he finally does, he's speechless...

As luck would have it, the town councilman, for whom the whole party was created, isn't coming. Alessio and Martina have some time to themselves...

Tonino locks himself in with Saverio, holding him hostage, and threatening Saverio's father, the councilman.

The police take Tonino back to the beach club where Martina and Corinne are taking down the beach umbrellas. The season's over. Alessio is watching and thinking.
