Everybody is upset since Panagiotakis ran away from school and is missing. The guys have to stop flirting with girls and help find the boy. While searching, Mimis accidentally sees Maria kissing Traianos. Finally, the boy is found, and Mimis decides to go back to normality. Maria confesses to the girls that she watched Pavlos and witnessed his date with Nikoleta. But Nikiforo's romance with Tzortzina will not be a secret for long, as well.

Nikiforos, Mimis and Pavlos will have to face the consequences of their actions. They get the cold shoulder at home. But things are worse for Pavlos since Maria is seeing Traianos. Humiliated and desperate, the three friends now must think of a way to fight back.

Nikiforos becomes an ascetic stylite as a reaction to the contempt from his family. Mimis uses Confucian philosophy to deal with a watchdogging Xanthippi and the fact that Kimon, Vivian and Panagiotakis are moving out. Maria dumps Pavlos, and he calls over his friends for support. At the same time, Eva comes back home with her modern ideas and offers some advice to her father, inciting him to a daring act.
