Despite numerous articles tarnishing his reputation and the shocking return of his ex-wife, Mori is preparing to reopen Paradise. He proposes to Teresa, assuring her that there is nothing between him and Rose, and she accepts.

The advertising staff organizes a beauty contest among the Venuses. Mori shows up at Mandelli’s funeral and attempts to make peace with Andreina. Meanwhile, Rose offers to buy out Jacobi’s shares in the store

Teresa’s parents break with her, but she decides to turn their dismissal into an opportunity. Mantovani searches for the daughter she gave up for adoption, and Andreina and Vittorio arrive at a turning point in their relationship.

At Mantovani’s suggestion, Anna returns to work at the Paradise as the accountant’s assistant. Vittorio is horrified to learn the full extent of Andreina’s scheme and the lengths to which she will go to get revenge on Mori.
