Attempts at apology and reconciliation seem to fail miserably, and Laura ends up accepting a dinner invitation from Sergio, Nina's teacher.
Paolo and Laura have been secretly seeing each other for ten days, but they still haven't managed to make love.

To improve the situation on the landing, Laura decides to organize a dinner with Paolo's family, but things don't go exactly as hoped: Emanuele extends the invitation to his grandparents, the sweet Mario and the cruel Clelia, and Cristina invites her elderly aunts Filomena and Sofia.
