Eva discovers that Alex has been lying to her: he isn't the head chef at the restaurant where she works, but merely an assistant. By chance, she encounters Selvaggia, a spoiled and overbearing teenager who, blinded by jealousy, stalks her boyfriend Daniele. Eva encourages Alex to never settle and pushes him to accept a catering job for a birthday party, which turns out to be Selvaggia's mega-party! Eva receives a visit from her father Sergio, who still doesn't know Alex. The two hit it off, and Sergio suggests that Alex work at a restaurant in Milan where he will be a partner. Eva urges him to accept, but Alex wants to be with her as much as possible, so overworking isn't a good idea. Jolanda decides to celebrate her fifteenth birthday in style and asks Alice for help organizing the party in Walter's warehouse.
