The athlete's lawyer, Tiziano Marrese, appears before the editorial office of "Up to You," warning the magazine against publishing Eva's interview. He will also file a complaint against the journalist for moral damages and assault, recommending Eva Cudicini's disbarment. Editor-in-chief Iva is shocked and asks her assistant to investigate. Cinzia shows her a hotel recording showing Marco and Simona escaping from the athlete's room. Iva is forced to admit that her trust has been betrayed; furthermore, she must pay Marrese a considerable sum to hush up the scandal. Meanwhile, Eva complains to Marco about her mother's coldness, hurt by the late revelation. The two women engage in a heated confrontation, and soon afterward, Eva receives a call from her boss, firing her on the spot. Marco, in turn, tries to speak to Simona, who avoids him.
