Christmas is approaching, and Paolo suggests spending it with Laura, but Riccardo's arrival has thrown all her plans into disarray, especially since Riccardo is planning a little chat with Emanuele on December 25th.

Even Paolo, after an initial moment of euphoria, begins to wonder why Laura has kept this truth from him for so long.
