Preview of the episode of September 18, 2026

The shift war sparked by Sasa Cerri is overwhelming the Del Bue couple. Cerri hasn't forgiven Mariella Altieri for backtracking on her tattoo and is now making it impossible for her to organize her work shifts, just to make her pay for letting her husband influence her.

Guido Del Bue and Mariella thus find themselves in the grip of their offended friend, forced to endure his retaliation day after day. Mariella realizes their friendship is on the rocks and seeks a way to make peace with Sasa before the wall becomes permanent.

Meanwhile, Alberto Palladini is in great difficulty: he has distanced himself from Anna Toscano because of what happened to Gianluca , who is hospitalized, and he doesn't know if he will ever be able to forgive her. Vittoria continues to beg him not to abandon his mother completely, but the one pushing him toward the decision is an old friend, whose support he thought he had lost.

On the other side, Grillo isn't giving up. The police officer has Eduardo Sabbiese under his thumb and demands his confessions at all costs to corner Damiano : both are in his sights, and his final move is ever closer.

Summary of the previous episode

In the September 17 episode, tensions between Mariella and Sasa further escalated after the woman gave up on the tattoo so as not to disappoint Guido . The friendship between the two appeared increasingly fragile, with Mariella torn between her husband and her friend.

Alberto had permanently distanced himself from Anna , while Vittoria was trying to mend their relationship after Gianluca 's hospitalization . Grillo, for his part, has transformed the hunt for Sabbiese into a double vendetta that now also involves Damiano.

What to expect

Today's episode is a tug-of-war that could change the balance of power. Mariella must choose between her friendship with Sasa and family peace, while Alberto is at a crossroads: forgive Anna or break up with her forever.

Beware also of the Grillo-Damiano front: the police officer has Eduardo Sabbiese in his grasp and doesn't intend to use his confession only against him. This final move could upset more than one balance at Palazzo Palladini.
