Imma is in the courtroom trying to get Saverio (from the previous episode) indicted. Later, she meets up with Calogiuri at the office, but there is someone else waiting for her.

Pietro's mother shows up at his house and doesn't hide how she feels about her daughter-in-law. On the way to see Nunzio's parents, Imma and Calogiuri discuss the bank records they were able to obtain.

Poor Pietro is having trouble discussing family problems with Imma, because she is easily distracted by the case she is trying to solve. At the office the next day, she has to deal with her colleagues, something she finds distasteful, and doesn't hide very well.

Milena comes to Imma's office and tells her what she knows. She also makes an effort to remember a detail that might be important to the case.

Imma, Milena and Calogiuri go to the woods where Nunzio had seen the porcupine. Later they have a meeting with La Macchia in Imma's office.

It could be that Imma has found a solution for her mother. Pietro has prepared a delicious dinner, but whether or not his family will be able to enjoy it remains to be seen.

Imma interviews Manolo and learns some interesting new facts. Then she interviews the person Manolo mentioned, someone she has encountered before. This second interview is trickier, and Imma has a hard time.

Marshal La Macchia reports his findings to Imma. Later, she goes to see Father Mariani to discuss an old case that has come to mind.

Father Mariani is not much help to Imma, but tells her to be careful. When she gets home, she gets a taste of what he meant, but is not deterred. Imma seems to be of the opinion that "when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

Antonio Palma has been summoned by Imma, and has been accompanied by Rosario Festa, Nunzio's father. She has some specific questions to ask Mr. Palma, but first has a conversation with Rosario Festa. Later on, she discusses all this with Calogiuri over coffee.

Milena tells Imma about her pregnancy and about how Nunzio reacted to it. They also talk about Nunzios's relationship with his father. Imma and Calogiuri go out to the Festa place to talk to Rosario.

Imma has a difficult but necessary conversation with Rosario there, on his land, with the wind turbines whirring in the background.

Now that Imma has solved the case, she can think about other things. She talks to Diana on the phone, and then insists that Valentina go somewhere with her in the car.

As we begin a new episode, Valentina is in Latin class. Her mother, Deputy Prosecutor Imma Tataranni, has arrived at a new crime scene, and is exhibiting her usual, unique, and somewhat bizarre personality traits.

Imma discusses the dynamics of the case with the coroner. She also talks to the man who discovered the body. The subject comes up at dinner with her in-laws, and the TV is on so she watches the news broadcast about the case, too. Valentina has a new friend named Penelope.
