A special episode set ten years earlier. Andrea, an enthusiastic doctor who is still together with his family, has an opportunity to make a career jump for the first time. But it is a struggle to hold everything together: suddenly finding himself involved in a rivalry with his colleague Marco, he risks losing sight of who he really is.

A train accident turns the Internal Medicine ward into an improvised emergency room. All the doctors are required to do their best to deal with the emergency. One of the wounded is a girl who reopens an important chapter in Riccardo's past that the young man had considered closed forever.

The arrival of Elisa's older sister in the hospital, a likeable, charming actress, inexplicably makes the young trainee even more surly and bad-tempered. Andrea continues to delve into the years that amnesia has wiped out, while Agnese cannot mask her jealousy over the growing rapport between Giulia and Andrea.
