Watch Nurse Lea

Lea is angry with Marco and accuses him of deceiving her, but personal matters must give way to a medical emergency; Viola's condition is rapidly deteriorating. The only solution would be a kidney transplant, but a compatible donor cannot be found.

Koljia's custody request is denied by the judge, delivering a heavy blow to Lea and Marco. A special bond develops between Viola and Luca despite the girl's worsening health condition. Meanwhile, Arturo, hurt by the end of his relationship with Lea, accepts the offer to go on a tour with a famous singer, which will take him away from Ferrara for several months.

Marco suggests to Lea that they apply for Kolia's custody together, reigniting in her the desire to start a family. Meanwhile, a tumour is discovered in Kolia's leg and Marco is forced to make a decision about it.

Lea's lawyer informs her that the country house she and Marco bought before their divorce has finally found buyers, but Marco refuses to sell it. And when the two meet at the country house and share a moment of intense closeness, even Lea realises she no longer wants to sell the house. Perhaps her story with Marco is not completely over?

Anna confronts Lea, releasing all her anger on her. Lea, in turn, confronts Marco: does she really think they could get back together? Martina has returned to the hospital with Arturo to remove the cast from his arm and Marco realises that the musician is a serious obstacle to his plans. Meanwhile, Viola Parisi, a 13-year-old girl used to frequent hospitalisations, arrives in the ward...

Martina's birthday is approaching and she is waiting for her mother for the party. Encouraged by Lea, Arturo confesses the truth to his daughter, which the little girl takes very badly. Meanwhile, a social worker announces that Koljia's parents have given up on the adoption and that the child will be sent back to an orphanage in Russia...

Lea is close to Koljia, a Russian child recently adopted by a couple from Ferrara, whose parents, however, collapsed at the news of his serious illness and left him alone. Then she also takes heart in the case of Mattia, a newborn with a serious cardiorespiratory condition. Lea asks Arturo to help her trace the infant's biological father to carry out tests.

Lea is a specialised nurse who, after a period of leave, returns to work in the paediatric department of the Ferrara hospital, where her ex-husband Marco also comes back to become the new head. While working alongside Marco is a constant reminder of what was and what could have been, Lea's future may take the form of Arturo.
