Il Baracchino is ready to reopen, even without Maurizio. But someone from the past resurfaces, under false appearances, and could ruin Claudia's efforts. While the comedians conquer the public, she will have to join forces with Maurizio to avoid disaster...

Sixteen months earlier: Claudia and Maurizio meet in front of Tatiana's hospital room. They haven't seen each other for a long time and, between unsaid words and old grudges, they retrace the story of her decline. Meanwhile, in the present, Larry, Marco, Leonardo and Gerri lay themselves bare in front of the camera, recounting their relationship with grief.

Claudia convinces Maurizio to organize a rehearsal evening, but there is a small problem: the audience is almost entirely made up of Donato's relatives... and they are not at all easy to win over! While a monologue by Leonardo creates chaos, Gerry and Larry make an unexpected discovery that could change the fate of Il Baracchino.

Maurizio decides to help Claudia but on his own terms: a super-intensive course in the golden rules of comedy, supported by his laughter machine. While Claudia is not convinced by Maurizio's methods, the machine seems to jam... Meanwhile, Gerry and Larry search for the legendary Perfect Joke, written by Tatiana and hidden in Il Baracchino.

Maurizio, after the disaster of the first evening, is more determined than ever to close Il Baracchino. But Claudia, pushed by an unexpected advice from Larry, will try everything by leveraging the heart of the old unicorn. In the meantime, the comedians—determined to make it big despite their questionable talent—prepare to put on a show... for better or for worse!

Il Baracchino, once a temple of laughter, is now a den infested with cockroaches and drunks. But Claudia, a young art director with a stubborn heart, is determined to bring it back to its former glory, gathering an unlikely band of penniless comedians. The only obstacle? Maurizio, the gruff unicorn owner. Will she be able to convince him to give new life to the Baracchino?
