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.

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.
