Paul betrays Laura Valeria, the partner, a situation similar to parts reversed, had already happened in the first season when Laura Paul betrayed by her former husband. Meanwhile, Adrian knows Bea, exuberant and lively Tuscan hairdresser, and she began a relationship.
Dr. Freiss
The series also offers the figure of Dr. Freiss: in a TV studio are just a presenter and Dr Freiss, Carla, who followed the story through several screens of Paul, Laura and all other friends and relatives. At least once a bet is a 'gap' in which the presenter asked the doctor opinions about situations that are created in the main story. Initially appears to be merely a program that is following these events, a frame of interpretation in fiction of the main story, but then the two-story narrative blend with the rise of betting. In fact Dr. Freiss begins to interact with other characters: the first turning across the screen to Michael is watching TV, then giving an opinion that the same person Michael came to ask advice about his relationship with Monica (after the Michael beat with his baseball bat for the advice proved useless).
The comedy of Dr. Freiss is also that from point to point is presented as an expert every time something different, more sociological arguments but the definition is absurd: every time he has always been a helpful answer. Apparently, even among Freiss and Dr. Carla introduces a love story.

The editorial work by Laura and her colleagues Monica, Leah, Maya, Pink and Helium, which most of time gossiping and chatting sought solace and help, especially in the sphere of heart problems.
Michael's restaurant becomes a meeting place for all friends. Here we celebrate important occasions like New Year's celebration, but the kitchen where Michael tries his hand is also the place where Paul takes refuge when a problem or where Monica retires when the food must drown his depression.
The pool, where Paul trains his boys three times a week, but where will it take Laura for a romantic evening.
The school, where David and Christina know where the two make love for the first time in the occupation organized by Emmanuel.
The home of Julius and Stefania, especially in the second set because of the birth of twins.
