Andrea returns to the ward as an assistant to the trainees, who were terrified of him just a few weeks earlier and find it hard to get used to the unexpected role reversal. While he tries to win back his ex-wife, his collaboration with Giulia on the case of a young manager proves to be challenging and full of surprises.

In an attempt to return to his role as a father and to help Carolina recover from her illness, Andrea starts to pursue Agnese again. A bad headache creates problems for Gabriel while treating a patient. Elisa and Riccardo have to deal with an aspiring astronaut.

Andrea is confident that he has finally won over Agnese and, feeling romantic, he suggests that a wedding is organised in the ward for a patient in critical condition. Meanwhile, Gabriel makes an unexpected proposal that upsets the balance within the group of interns.

A patient sheds light on a secret about Lorenzo's private life that causes a stir throughout the ward. Meanwhile, Gabriel and Elisa must attempt to reconstruct the life of an elderly inpatient who appears not to remember anything about himself, but repeatedly utters a single word.

After finding the medical file on the patient who died because of a mistake, Andrea tries to reconstruct what happened before the shooting that wiped out his memory. Marco, who was responsible for this death, and Agnese are uncooperative. Alba and Riccardo struggle to rebuild their relationship and things also get complicated between Gabriel and Elisa.

The arrival of Elisa's older sister in the hospital, a likeable, charming actress, inexplicably makes the young trainee even more surly and bad-tempered. Andrea continues to delve into the years that amnesia has wiped out, while Agnese cannot mask her jealousy over the growing rapport between Giulia and Andrea.

Lorenzo has issues again with his ex-girlfriend Chiara, who is then hospitalized after overdosing. Marco and his wife feel increasingly threatened by the research that Andrea is carrying out on Satonal, the experimental drug that appears to have caused several deaths. Meanwhile, Gabriel has to explain to his community that he intends to settle in Italy.

Agnese's condition rapidly deteriorates and Andrea receives the support of the whole ward in the attempt to discover what disease she is suffering from. However, the accusations levelled against him regarding his involvement in the falsification of data on pharmaceutical trials risk him having to leave the hospital for good.

The news of Doc's memory upsets the ward's balance: Agnese fears that recovering his memory will destabilize Andrea's new life, while Damiano is worried about the effect this might have on Giulia. Doc, on the other hand, is increasingly elated, although it is not easy to wedge the therapy prescribed for him by Enrico between the thousands of commitments as head physician.

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.
