In his new role as director of the domestic violence NGO, Carlo sees a patient suffering from increasing aggression from her husband, yet she cannot be persuaded to leave him.
While Valentina tries to help a guilt-ridden woman who has been having an affair with her son-in-law, Carlo begins therapy with the son-in-law and finds he shows no remorse.
Carlo meets an androgynous model who is stalked by a terminally ill African millionaire since a witchdoctor told him he could be cured with the love of someone who is neither male nor female.
