Alisa saves Tamara's life at the last minute. But while Alisa is getting help, Caro is passing herself off as the alleged rescuer. When Alisa comes back to the lake, everyone has left. Wet and miserable, she goes to see her new friend Mona, who runs the Italian café "Mona Lisa." The tension between Tamara and her mother Liliana grows deeper when Tamara brings up her mother's irrational fear of the water – the reason why she has never let Tamara learn how to swim. Liliana makes some concessions, but then breaks down under the emotional stress. Mona makes it clear to one and all that Alisa, and not Caro, saved Tamara from drowning. Christian gratefully hugs Alisa, inadvertently plunging her into a troubling, but sweet, confusion of the senses. Hadn't she firmly resolved not to fall in love again?
