Paradise

American Week begins at the Paradise, treating customers to Hollywood stars, a motorcycle and more. Blue jeans reignite the conflict between Mori and Vittorio. Meanwhile, everyone in Italy is following the situation in Hungary with concern.

The crisis in Budapest has cast a shadow on Milan and the Paradise is deserted: no one feels like shopping. But Teresa turns things around by suggesting collection points in the store for clothes, money and even blood to be sent to Hungary.

With Rose out of Milan, Teresa and Mori can reconnect. Mori surprises Teresa with a trip to Castelbuono, but Rose returns to lure Mori to Rome--and Rockefeller--instead. Abandoning Teresa and the Paradise, though, has dire consequences.

Pietro learns of the robbery and must choose between Paradise and Teresa or Rose and Rockfeller. As Teresa recovers from the shock, but is increasingly in doubt: is a man like Pietro Mori really the man she wants by her side?

There will be an exhibition of fencing champions at the Paradise to celebrate the Italian Olympic medals in Melbourne. Jealousy between Mori and Vittorio builds and the exhibition becomes a real duel. Meanwhile, the police find Rose’s body.

The investigation into Rose’s death continues. Despite evidence against him, Mori continues to deny the night he spent with his ex-wife so that Teresa doesn’t learn of his betrayal. In Biella, the Mori factory is at risk of flooding.

Christmas is approaching and Teresa wants to spend it with her parents. Her distance from Mori stokes her sadness, especially while those around her are happy. To make matters worse, the tenants of the Countess’s palace face eviction.

Teresa and Mori try to spend the holiday together, now that her parents finally approve of the couple. Mori has the money to buy the Countess's building, but his mysterious benefactor is not who he claims to be.

Caught between Jacobi and the Countess, Mori, finally confesses his situation to Teresa. Struck by his sincerity, Teresa offers to work with Mori for a solution. The situation seems hopeless but Teresa has an idea.

The shop now in Jacobi’s hands, Mori oversees the New Year’s Eve preparations with sadness. When an ambush fails to capture Jacobi, Mori must settle his debt or Teresa will be killed. It is a race towards a long-awaited reckoning.
