Matilde accidentally meets a colleague of Pamela's, the prostitute Godiva, who has just been released from prison. Naturally, the young girl doesn't know what her beloved mother's profession was, believing her to have been a noble benefactor. When Matilde comes up with the idea of organizing a memorial in her honor, Cesare and the Cesaroni family are shocked: no one dares tell her the truth. A man with a seductive yet disreputable air shows up at the Cesaroni wine shop asking for news of Pamela's daughter. His name is Lojacono and he claims to be Matilde's father. Cesare puts up a fight, but Ezio, with his clumsiness, even takes the stranger home to avoid him! A debate erupts at the Cesaroni family: what if Lojacono is really Matilde's father? What right does Cesare have to prevent them from meeting?
