Scipio and Prosper sail back to Venice with Barbarossa locked in the cabin. Renzo follows in Barbarossa’s boat while Morosina stays on the island with the dogs. As they walk to Barbarossa’s shop, Prosper is disconcerted by Scipio’s adult form. Barbarossa unlocks his shop and gets the money from his safe, complaining the whole time. When Barbarossa pulls out only two wads of cash, Renzo asks Scipio what else he should take as payment. Scipio gives him the sugar tongs from his father’s house. Barbarossa protests but they ignore him. Renzo tells Scipio he’s welcome on the island anytime and leaves. Scipio plans to get a hotel room and enjoy his freedom after taking Prosper to Ida’s. Barbarossa doesn’t want to be left alone, so Prosper agrees he can come along. Scipio leaves his father’s boat near the shop. The police find it two days later and return it to Dottor Massimo, whose missing son is nowhere to be found.

Ida, Victor, Hornet, and a sleeping Bo return home, exhausted from looking for Prosper. They find Prosper in the kitchen with a grown-up Scipio and a drunk, child Barbarossa. Victor wants to know what happened, but Prosper says they promised not to tell.
