A special episode set ten years earlier. Andrea, still an enthusiastic doctor with his family intact, for the first time has the opportunity to make a career leap. Keeping everything together, however, is not easy: the competition he suddenly finds himself involved in with his colleague Marco risks making him lose sight of who he really is.

In an attempt to recover his role as a father and help Carolina recover from her illness, Andrea returns to court Agnes. An annoying headache makes Gabriel struggle with treating a patient, while Elisa and Riccardo have to deal with a wanna-be astronaut.
