Emmanuel, in the disguise of Christian, overhears a stormy dialogue between Gianni and Maximilian, during which he has confirmation of the jealous "Massy's" violent contempt for him and hears Gianni claim that Massy is his one great love.

Without hesitation the boy, shocked and hurt, leaves the show and goes to Antonia's house so that he can spend some time in the company of his son Martino.

But it is late, and Antonia already has Emmanuel's couch-bed ready...

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

The soundtrack includes a bizarre cover of Air's "Sexy Boy" (Taormina remix).

Many months have passed since Gianni and Emmanuel met at the Paradise Bar (see "Paradise Bar"), and the two are now a stable, if clandestine, couple.

Gianni has decided to organize a large exhibition of his best photos in Milan and wants Emmanuel to be present at the opening.

But some photos depict Emmanuel as a model, and Gianni's partner Massimiliano, a famous painter, will also be there...

How does Emmanuel avoid being recognized?

Gianni has an idea: he dyes the boy's hair red, puts glasses on him, and dresses him like a somewhat nerdy college student.

From now on he will no longer be Emmanuel, but Christian, Gianni's secretary.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Mark, and Nicole.

We've reached the crucial moment: after two months apart, Emmanuel and Gianni meet again, at a Milanese venue with the significant name of Bar Paradiso.

Emmanuel at the beginning is cold, still resentful of Gianni's treatment over the Aaron affair (see "Meet Aaron"), but Gianni's words gradually soften him, leading to an unpredictable (but ultimately predictable) outcome.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Anthony (AI).

The soundtrack includes covers of "Love Ballad" by Autoheart and Fabrizio De Andrè's "Amore che vieni, amore che vai."

Apparently Emmanuel's family and friends have decided to pave the way for Gianni: they subject the boy to a kind of trial for the accident that happened to little Martino, for which he is the first to feel responsible.

Outraged at the incomprehension by which he is surrounded, Emmanuel reacts as is obvious: he is now ready to throw himself into the arms of the only person by whom he feels unconditionally loved: Gianni.

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

The soundtrack is a cover of "Gold" (Autoheart).

And here we come to the fuse that sets off the situation between Emmanuel and Gianni.

The boy, greatly distressed by the accident that happened to little Martino while walking with him on the Orco stream (see previous episode "Pee, Daddy - Part I"), spends the afternoon with the child at the hospital, where the wound is treated and the little one is given a tetanus shot.

While Emmanuel is driving him home, in a foul mood and well aware of the reaction Antonia will have when she sees the child again in that condition, the boy receives a phone call from Gianni.

But Martino's presence at this juncture will prove explosive, and will precipitate the situation, which has reached a point of now unbearable tension.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Juliet, and Martino.

The soundtrack is a cover of "Sad Divide" by Autoheart.

Emmanuel demands from Antonia that he be allowed to hike up the Orco creek with Martino and the faithful Bella, but the outing turns out to be full of unforeseen events.

The boy is definitely not lucky with his son....

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Alice and Martino (AI).

The soundtrack includes covers of "Not The Ghost" by Crane Wives and "Lithium" by Nirvana.

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.
