Here we are at the beginning of a new episode. Lara has been on the boat with Massimo, but now she's got to get right back to work, because someone seems to have fallen off a horse!

A buttero is an Italian working cowboy from the Maremma part of Tuscany. And one was just found—morto (dead)!

Things don't add up regarding the buttero, and Brigadiere, Lara's aunt's dog, has gone missing.

Lara is in quite a quandary about the roses. She's got some tough decisions to make! Meanwhile Toscani and Manara get up to speed on the investigation.

Lara confesses her doubts about Massimo to Sardi, while Manara, who is in a foul mood, gives some advice to his commissioner friend about how to behave with Ginevra on their upcoming date.

Massimo doesn't give up! Lara's at a loss for words, but then Luca and Lara go off to question a chronic complaint filer.

Belleggia is a tough nut to crack in the interrogation room, and Toscani has a rough time. As usual, Caterina is friendly with people involved in the murder, this time making friends with the widow of the victim.

Lara finally makes a decision and acts on it. That doesn't make it any easier, though.

Lara is having trouble dealing with her feelings, but her aunt distracts her with some information concerning the deceased.

Lara and Luca bring in a suspect, but something in his expression makes them wonder about his guilt. Lara's aunt keeps looking for Brigadiere.

The red soil found in Contini's clothes is looking more and more important. Sergio ends up being helpful to the investigation.

The dinner for four is having trouble getting off the ground, and not everyone is thrilled with the situation.

Lara and Luca are left on their own at the trattoria. They overdo it a bit with the wine, and... The next day, Lara's aunt has to help out once again.

For some strange reason, Luca isn't so eager to sign the forms Sergio procures for him. Lara's aunt arrives with some important news.

Everything concerning the case becomes clear. There are no happy faces.
