The fear of discovering the secret about his past is too strong for Doc. However, this denial of the truth drives him away from the ward, much to the surprise of Giulia, who has to take care of a patient who, just like Andrea, seems to be hiding something. Meanwhile, Enrico must deal with Barbara's assaults, which may be hiding more than just infatuation.

Doc enters a competition with an AI: if he does not want to be replaced by a machine, he must find the correct diagnosis for a patient before the computer. Martina, on the other hand, is given a case that forces her to come to terms with her conscience, while Agnese is confronted with a terrible decision to protect one of Andrea's secrets.

Agnese's words have created a rift with Andrea, who must also come to terms with being away from Giulia, who is in Rome for research. Meanwhile, Teresa must work wonders to find a place for Diana's daughter, admitted despite her mother's doubts. Elisabetta is also admitted to the ward after a few days of illness, maybe an indication of a more serious problem.
