Shopping Campaign / Lullaby Grandparents

Iva Zavattini calls Eva: she assumes she's in Friuli for the investigation she's entrusted to her and recommends she return to Rome immediately to interview the famous athlete Tiziano Marrese. The child prodigy of Italian track and field has never given an interview because he's dependent on a controlling mother, and the "stolen" meeting could prove to be a real scoop.

It's Giulio's birthday, but tensions are palpable in the Cesaroni household. Lucia remains conflicted about the country house, even though Sergio, her ex-husband, has denied her the loan. She'll be met by Sonsei, who received a large inheritance following his wife's death. The former school janitor, who was never lame, now wants to settle all accounts with his past. He shows up at Stefania's house, telling her he'll help the high school renovate the gym. He also wants to repay the Cesaronis, who helped him when loan sharks were harassing him.
