I would like, I wouldn't like, but if you want / For an hour of love

After discovering they're neighbors, Paolo and Laura, advised against it by their best friends, decide not to continue dating. The situation is exacerbated by Emanuele and Cristina's constant clashes at school, which even end in front of the principal. 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. Both would like to, but, confused by Monica and Michele's well-meaning advice, they're afraid to take the initiative, and when they finally decide, they can't find the right place.

What women don't say / Imagine a dinner night

Paolo and Laura are now a steady couple, even though they continue to hide from their children, piling up excuses and lies. However, Cristina accidentally catches a glimpse of her father kissing his neighbor and is shocked, so much so that she tells Emanuele, who begins to investigate. 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. Laura herself also expands the number of guests, inviting Monica and her sister Stefania, a woman sui generis, and Paolo, who brings his friend Michele. With all this confusion, the dinner turns out to be a complete fiasco.
