In the piazza, Giuseppe discusses the war with some colleagues. He then runs into an old acquaintance. Later, in the lab, he talks about science and faith with his professor friend.

At Dora's funeral, Psalm 23 is recited. Camilla is there, but not everyone appreciates her presence. Later, Sonia goes over to Gaetano's with some treats, but senses something is wrong.

Eva is very happy with her wedding gown, but her daughter, who came with her, has a hard time accepting the situation. Ugo is desperately trying to figure out where Nora might be staying.

It's dinner time in the Martini household. Ciccio is finishing his homework, Alberto is going to play soccer with some friends, Maria apologizes to her father, and Giulio shows up to make trouble, as usual.

Michele goes back home after his mother dies and there, he spends some time with his childhood friend, Costanza Colonna. He tells her about his plans to go to Rome, the artistic center of the universe.

Margherita Hack spent some time in politics and was also an entrepreneur at times. But she had a lot of fun, too. On the panel with Camilleri, the author of the Montalbano stories, they all come out (in unison) with the famous introduction Montalbano sono (Montalbano, I am). Putting the verb at the end is typical of Sicily, where the story takes place. Otherwise, it would be Sono Montalbano (I'm Montalbano) or, on the phone, "This is Montalbano."

As he had promised Cloe, Giuseppe continues to look for her little boy, with little success. Some children he treats aren't really ill, they're just not getting enough to eat. Italy enters the war. Some doctors go to the front, others stay behind.

Renzo and Camilla discuss this new development. He is very suspicious and worried. Camilla, as usual, wants to handle things on her own. She goes down to police headquarters the next day.

Finally, Ugo gets Nora alone and they are able to talk. Until the talking breaks down, that is. Once again Roberto, their lawyer, finds himself in the middle of things.

Michele manages to find a home for his painting, and receives something in exchange. Still at Maestro Simone's workshop, he grows up into a man and ends up trying to defend a young apprentice from being abused as he had been.

We have hunted down a video recipe for the dish Letizia serves Lojacono at her trattoria in I Bastardi di Pizzofalcone. With its simple ingredients and preparation, we hope you'll try it sometime! The recipe is likely Neapolitan and its name has to do with shoemakers!

Margherita Hack was a scientist and communicator, but she also expressed her opinions about attualità (current events). Part of this segment features a panel discussion she held with author Andrea Camilleri, best known for his novels about Inspector Montalbano that became a popular TV series.

Non è mai troppo tardi (it's never too late) was a huge success, also in many other countries. Along with youngsters who attended school, older folks managed to learn to read and write, and to get their elementary school certificates, thanks to the TV show.

As she comes out of the police station, Camilla meets up with the "indestructible" guy who had been following her and Dora. He gives her some information, but she is busy calling Gaetano for help and makes him tell her where he is. Both she and the "indestructible" go to that address.
