Abstract Tina and Rick get married in Kosovo and head back to Italy, where they can start their happy life as a married couple. Or almost. Some problems with the chocolate factory are waiting for them back at home. While Ivan is ready to do anything to help his son and his friends, he also needs to deal with his complicated love life.

Details Rick and Tina, with the help of their parents and their friends, start to plan the wedding. They planned a big party with 300 guests, including Rick’s mother, who flew from San Diego to Kosovo as soon as she received the invitation. She meets Tina for the first time while dressing up in her wedding gown, and although she is very happy for her son, she worries about them being unable to make it on their own. Surprisingly, Ivan reassures her this time, showing how this rescue trip changed his perspective. The celebration takes place smoothly with the help of their families, friends, and neighbours. The only person missing is Miriam, who, in the meantime, is fighting for the survival of the packaging team at the chocolate factory. When the time comes for the Abrate family to vote on merging with the French company, Miriam’s brother votes for it, betraying Miriam against everyone’s expectations. His wife, worried about the family’s finances, threatened to leave him if he did not vote against Miriam. The return journey to Italy is planned for the day following the wedding after Rick and Tina spent their first night together as a married couple. However, when they get to Italy, Miriam gives them the bad news that she is leaving the firm because the family decided to sell; they are out of a job. Miriam, who is deeply sad, refuses even to talk to Ivan. When he tries to call her and offers to meet with her, she turns him down again. The series fasts forward to three months later. The situation at the Abrate Factory has stayed the same, and Rick is missing his job and friends. Tired of Rick’s sadness, Ivan decides to take the matter into his own hands. He goes looking for Rick’s friends one by one and turns his home into a place where they can all hang out every day. Ready to do anything to find employment for his son, he shows up at Miriam’s house and convinces her to get into business together and turn her grandfather’s old Café into a classy restaurant where the packaging team could work. After weeks of training, the opening night finally comes. Many people show up, but it is far from being a success since the demanding tasks overwhelm Rick and his friends. After some time in which the situation at the restaurant has yet to progress, Miriam, Ivan, and the team start losing faith. Just as they are about to give up, one of them, Marione, starts hugging people walking down the street and invites them to come in and eat. As he does that, the place fills up, and just like that, Ivan realizes that they need a new business model that can benefit from the uniqueness of their team instead of considering their disability as a flaw. Therefore, they decided for the restaurant not to be a classy and pricy place but rather a simpler one, where people feel at home and loved. Meanwhile, Alessia reveals to Ivan that she still has feelings for him and has broken up with her partner. This comes unexpectedly for Ivan, who initially turns her down when she suggests giving their marriage another chance. He is still in love with Miriam, even though she still does not want to be in any relationship. One day, after Alessia helps him comfort Tina, who is feeling homesick, Ivan realizes that Alessia’s presence is positive and accepts her proposal to go back to living together. However, this only lasts for a while since Ivan cannot forget Miriam. In the meantime, working with Ivan makes her realize she is in love with him, but she is escaping from it because of the sense of guilt that her daughter’s death provoked in her. A karaoke night at the restaurant is the occasion that finally brings Miriam and Ivan together. When she invites him to sing on stage, he passionately kisses her, just like Rick had kissed Tina on their first karaoke night.
