Italians are very attached to tradition. In fact, although eating habits have changed, many traditional dishes, rather than being discarded, have been transformed. This means more variety and smaller portions, so that a diner will eat more than just a plateful of pasta.

In the back room of the pharmacy, there's an important meeting going on. Eva and her friends decide to take action.

A very special edition of the news with Marika, Guido, Serena and Anna.

Not only is Dante late for his first trial day, he and Eva have a disagreement right off the bat. And do we really think that Groucho is going to stay tied to the flower pot all day?

Serena takes you to a music store in Rome. The first instrument she shows us is the piano.

The cadaver on the autopsy table doesn't stop Ginevra from wanting to give the commissioner more than just a report. Lara and Serena are at the docks where they see someone they're not supposed to see, and meet someone from Lara's past.

Augusta is a port city on the eastern coast of Sicily. There are two ancient fortresses and a tower built to defend it in the sixteenth century, and later on, it became a base for dirigibles and seaplanes during World War II.

Serena takes us to visit her house, where besides all the things her mother collects, there's a fireplace, and a view of the sea.

From la nouvelle cuisine, which at its beginnings was reserved for fancy restaurants and connoisseurs and was looked upon with some scepticism, important lessons could be learned about cooking methods and the quality of the food itself.

Eva has a heart to heart talk with Cary Grant (on a poster in her room) and comes to some conclusions. Meanwhile, Dante has his own problems, such as what to do with his mother's dog!

Marika explains some more rules for pronouncing "C" and "G."

Inspectors Rubino and Sardi go to the Etruscan museum to investigate the theft of the Green Ray. They have a few moments for girl talk and ice cream.

This is the final part of a walk through Villa Torlonia, in Rome, with Anna and Marika.

The beginnings of La Nouvelle Cuisine (French: the new cuisine) are likened to the Impressionists, abandoning mythical themes, and painting directly from nature. La Nouvelle Cuisine focused on the quality of the food itself. Marchesi was in tune with this idea, and at the same time, knew he'd found true artistry in the Troisgros brothers in Dijon, when he went to work with them in the late sixties.

At the market, Eva learns some interesting things about Dante, the man who applied for a job as cook. She also learns a thing or two about Spada, the wealthy entrepreneur, and, knowing Eva's past, we can just imagine the wheels turning in her head.
