Carolina, who is suffering from a mysterious illness, is admitted to the ward, triggering a series of conflicts between Andrea and Agnese that they will have to overcome for their daughter's sake. Meanwhile, a flashy influencer attracts the young trainees' attention and Alba cannot disguise her jealousy towards Riccardo.

However, the accusations levelled against him regarding his involvement in the falsification of data on pharmaceutical trials risk him having to leave the hospital for good.
