Tommaso is petrified and irritated with Catholicism, plans with his son-in-law, Gianni, to prevent Andrea's change.

Tommaso goes undercover while Andrea is absent, on retreat in a monastery, to investigate and bring down the charismatic Father Don Pietro, who he believes has "brain-washed" his son and caused upheaval in his family.

Meanwhile, his wife Carla, who feels unappreciated becomes an alcoholic and joins with a resistance movement reminiscing her active past and his daughter Bianca who lives in the opposite apartment gets interested and accepts Catholicism.

He discusses the prognosis with his fellow doctor who was going to operate the priest and finds out the subdural hematoma is severe and would take a miracle to save him.
