Though Giovanna listens intently to Roberto, she remembers almost nothing of his sermon because she’s in love with his looks. She meets him after his sermon and acts awkwardly. Giovanna wants to remain at the church and listen to Roberto forever. She rushes outside to get fresh air and clear her head. Her aunt praises her for making a good impression. Giovanna then gives the bracelet back. Corrado and Rosario arrive, but she refuses to hang out with them.

Giovanna rushes home and tells her mother the truth about where she’s been. She sits in her mother’s lap like she did when younger and apologizes. When her mother reveals that Andrea and Mariano are friends again and that she invited Mariano over, Giovanna accuses her parents of always lying. She later wonders what Roberto would think of her homelife and, when Mariano greets her but looks only at her breasts, she takes comfort in thinking that Roberto would look her in the eyes. She realizes that she’s obsessed with Roberto. She calls her aunt to inquire about him, but her aunt hangs up on her after revealing that Giovanna’s mother called her and demanded she leave Giovanna alone.
