Carlo faces a chaotic day between preparations for the film, conflicts with Sangiovanni, Ludovica's decision to leave the film and the news of the admiral's death, then seeking comfort at the spa with Annamaria.

After Ludovica leaves, Carlo faces disastrous casting tests and an eccentric motivator. However, thanks to the inspiration of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Carlo finds the strength to overcome the challenges and continue the film project.

Carlo rediscovers his passion for cinema thanks to a new actress and the surrounding enthusiasm, while family dynamics evolve and a flying experience with Sofia leads to an inner liberation.

Before the filming of "Maria F.", Carlo is overwhelmed by intense emotions, while Fabio Traversa apologizes before revealing himself as the author of the threats suffered by Carlo, leading to a growing tension and a final celebration among friends.

Carlo is on his first day of shooting and discovers that Sangiovanni has also abandoned the film. Between anxiety, panic attacks and the early birth of his daughter, the day turns into an experience of reflection and acceptance of life.

Maddalena gets a job and Chicco becomes a stay-at-home dad. Sandra gets engaged and Sofia is arrested, Giovanni is with a conspiracy theorist and Annamaria faces a vice and a new neighbor. Carlo receives an unexpected offer. Will he accept?

Having accepted the artistic direction of the Festival, Carlo calls Thomas, an expert organizer, who warns him of the difficulties. Worried, Carlo goes to his nephew's baptism, but Maddalena does not arrive in time, causing a family crisis.

Chicco celebrates his new job, but the joy is short-lived. Meanwhile, Maccio, in the midst of an identity crisis, believes he is a starred chef and forces Carlo to an embarrassing dinner. Carlo will then find himself having to face Gianna Nannini.

Maccio is unmanageable without psychotropic drugs. During a radio interview, Carlo chooses Ema Stokholma as co-host. Things seem to be going better but his private life is complicated: he breaks up with Sofia after a party, and Eva discovers Annamaria's secret.

Carlo invites Maccio and Ema to the family dinner. The evening degenerates: Carlo discovers that Eva is on OnlyFans; Eva reveals that Annamaria is a gambling addict; Maccio falls in love with Ema; Giovanni is dumped and Sofia reveals a secret about Carlo and Sandra.

Chicco resolves the crisis with Maddalena. Annamaria improves in therapy. Sandra and Sofia team up and Carlo and Ema go to Paris to convince Paul McCartney to be the "super guest" but Ema ruins everything. A meeting at the airport offers the solution.
