Lucrezia is given a set of marbles by one of Emilio’s patients, and quickly becomes a bit obsessed with them. She makes all her sisters join in games with the marbles, though Chiara feels she is really too old and mature to be playing children’s games. Isabetta especially enjoys playing as well. The long awaited son, Alvise, is born, making Emilio very happy that he will have an heir.

Venice is once more excommunicated by the pope! When she hears, Angelica, who has already been excommunicated for writing a play mocking a mystic, bursts into hysterical laughter in front of her new in-laws, who point and whisper about the scandalous female playwright whose daughter is Venice’s first female surgeon. Zenobia acts in her mother’s most famous play. Chiara realizes that she is interested in women, not men, which her parents happily accept. Angelica and Emilio have led complicated lives, and a few more complications feel like nothing. They have faced tragedy and struggle, but ultimately they are happy. With grandchildren born and daughters following in their footsteps, they feel their lives have come full circle.
