It has been four days since Gianni last telephoned Emmanuel, and the boy is in a state of painful agitation. Mayra does her best, as always, to comfort him and keep him up, succeeding to some extent, also because Emmanuel needs to confront her on the hot topic of sex.

But just when Emmanuel has resigned himself to having lost contact with Gianni forever, here comes a phone call from her. The boy is so agitated that he needs Mayra's assistance in listening to her....

The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Nicole (AI).

The soundtrack includes covers or instrumental pieces of "Love Ballad" (Autoheart), "Bewitched" (Rodgert-Hart) and Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor.

Gianni has stopped checking in with Emmanuel: the boy suffers terribly, although pride prevents him from retracing his steps. In fact, he lives attached to his cell phone, hoping that the photographer will show up again.

Good Mayra tries to cheer him up and distract him, even deploying means that are... let's say abnormal. Carlos, unexpectedly, backs her up.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Nicole and Anthony (AI).

It is difficult to see Emmanuel in the company of his family in the luxury of his villa, but this time here he is, to attend the first swim in the pool of little Martino: an initiative of Michele, Emmanuel's brother, who takes his role as godfather to the child very seriously.

Of course Antonia is not there: it would be too embarrassing. But it is also too much for Emmanuel, already bitter about the end of his relationship with Gianni and now disoriented by the naturalness with which his mother accepts the presence of the child at the villa, despite being unaware of the fact that he is Emmanuel's son: precisely on this topic Mrs. Helena starts a conversation with the boy, when suddenly Emmanuel's cell phone rings...

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Betty and Martin (AI),

The soundtrack includes parts from "Stalker's Tango" by Autoheart.

Emmanuel, who has come out of the experience with Gianni with broken bones (see the episode "Meet Aaron"), tries to forget the disappointment by accompanying his friend Bruno to discover a "fantastic" rustic house in the woods above Savona.

The boy will be puzzled by what he finds before his eyes.

During the return trip, however, Emmanuel receives a phone call from Gianni, which Bruno inevitably listens to...

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Bruno and Anthony (AI).

During the episode you can listen to a piece from the "Habanera" of Bizet's Carmen.

The catastrophe is approaching: the photographer Gianni ridicules and humiliates Emmanuel, in an unthinkable comparison with the magnificent and wild Aaron.

The boy endures, both for love of Gianni and because he needs money, and tries to see the positive side of the situation: for example, an excellent lunch in a tavern and the simple spontaneity of Aaron, who has sympathy for him.

In the end, however, Gianni's words are so offensive that they unleash a tragic rebellion in Emmanuel.

The interpreters are Anthony, Vincent (Paul Emmanuel), Peter and Betty (all AI).

The soundtrack includes covers of "When You Die" by MGMT and a piece from "Promentory" by Dougie MacLean (soundtrack to "The Last of the Mohicans").

This episode marks the end of Emmanuel and Gianni's affair.

But can their story really end like this?...

Has Gianni decided to lose Emmanuel's love?

The photographer's behavior in this part of the episode is provocative and almost comical, but the second part will take on dramatic tones: for Emmanuel in fact it will be a very hard blow.

For now we see Gianni introduce him to an aspiring model of Canadian origins, a beautiful half-breed named Aaron.

Emmanuel, very struck by the charm of his "colleague", agrees to take pictures with him at Gianni's request, but he already realizes that something is wrong.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and Peter (AI).

At the beginning and end of the episode you can hear covers of "When You Die" by MGMT, sung by Gianni himself; in the central part you can hear a piece from "Promentory" by Dougie MacLean (soundtrack to "The Last of the Mohicans").
