While the workers begin to dig, the members of the nest are busy with greetings and transfers. However, there are also those who are in full crisis.

Mario is trying to teach Domenico how to play chess, but since it doesn't seem easy, he asks him what he thinks about his responsibility towards the Nest. Meanwhile, while the workers are digging in the garden, they find something strange.

While the workers are digging, they find a slab that's hiding something and it turns out that Mario actually knew about it and feels guilty. Before proceeding to remove the slab, they need to obtain a special tool but the important thing is that nobody knows what's happening.

To evade inspections, Michele suggests to Riccardo to bribe a health department official with a thousand Euros and have him call ARPA to block the soil inspection at the Nido. Riccardo, although uncomfortable, goes to the health department offices.

In an attempt to kill himself, Mario jumps out of the window, ending up in the emergency room with a contusion. While Michele tries to break free from Iolde's advances, Riccardo calls to say that Menicucci has arrived.

Riccardo is trying to give the bribe to the person indicated by Michele but makes a mistake and finds a man who makes a scene. Meanwhile, a school group arrives at the Nido asking for Eleonora.

Eleonora had forgotten that her teacher friend would bring the kids on a field trip to the Nest and asks Chiara for help to welcome them. Meanwhile, the police arrive while Michele is on the phone.

Riccardo tries to approach and talk to Menicucci twice, even asking Michele for advice on how to do it, but he doesn't succeed. At the Nido, the visiting class doesn't seem very inclined to listen to the history of the place.

The visiting kids go around the Nido asking questions and exploring the place when they find the hole the workers are working on. At that point, Eleonora asks her friend to take the kids away.

Michele is looking for a work of art to make an important gift. Meanwhile at the Nido, they continue to dig and are finally about to discover what lies beneath the slab.

At the Nido, after discovering what was in the ground, it seems things are about to take a political turn. While they discuss what to do, the spies intercept a phone call from Michele.

Eleonora is dealing with her boss who wants to fire her. At the Nido, Iolde panics because of a newspaper article that might be about her. She rushes immediately to Michele to tell him what happened in the past.

Michele continues to reassure Iolde about the newspaper article that came out, but they are interrupted by Nicoletta who brings a catalog to Michele. In the office, Eleonora must find a solution for the reportage that her boss wants to do.

Michele is negotiating with Nicoletta about the gift he wants to give to the Kazakh. Back at the Nest, he makes sure it gets delivered as soon as possible. Iolde is at her wit's end and Eleonora wants to write to the newspaper.

Although Eleonora had asked JJ for time to ask the other members of the Nest if they could shoot a feature, he shows up to film the community. Michele arranges the final details to have the painting delivered.
