Bruno Falcão announces that he sold the Divina Comédia and says goodbye to everyone, changing names to employees, as is his habit. The new owner announces that has hired Mário Valente, an award-winning Chef who has lived in Germany and made a career in the Nordic countries. In addition to the new Chef, there is also the hiring of young and ambitious Zé Morais, a friend of Carlos, who does everything to stay working as a helper of Chef Valente. But the news doesn't stop here, because in one day the Divina Comédia will be disputed by several bosses. It's time to ask, who's the boss here anyway?
Carla, Bruno Falcão's ex-wife is the new owner of the Divina Comédia. She loves to boss and she decides to hire a sushiman against the will of Chef Valente. For Carla, sushi is fashionable. She loves to eat and only does what she wants! Chef Valente doesn't like having an unknown cook in his kitchen and doesn't hide his displeasure. Fanã and Samu, in solidarity, decide to act. Tânia's father comes to visit his daughter in Lisbon and thinks that Zé is her boyfriend. And things will not go well...
Zé spends the night with Susana, but did not forget Catarina, the ex-girlfriend. Chef Mário Valente is run over by Helena, the Chef of Paraíso Restaurant, and is injured in one leg. Helena, with problems of conscience, offers to help him being his driver, but quickly gets tired of riding at his command. Samú says that Fanã doesn't know how to fry meat, accuses him of turning a steak into a sole and end up making a bet that has everything to not finish well. Susana is jealous of a female tourist client who flirts with Zé. The total confusion is back to the Divina Comédia.
Carla wants to liven up the restaurant and hires a famous French Chef to give a masterclass in the Divina Comédia. Valente doesn't react well to the news and everything gets worse when he discovers who is the invited Chef. Susana invites Zé to spend the weekend together. When he meets Catarina, his ex-girlfriend, Zé is confused about his feelings. Both Chef Valente and Zé keep secrets they do not want to share with anyone.

It's not easy to work in the Divina Comédia and when things go wrong is possible that the next stop is the hospital...
Chef Valente believes that team spirit builds with a good atmosphere among colleagues, on and off work hours. So he invites his cooks to accompany him to a SPA for a sauna session, a habit he has won in the Nordic countries. Upon arriving at the SPA, you will find an old Chef of the Divina Comédia. The moment will never be forgotten... Together, they relive stories and hilarious moments spent in the kitchen.
Valente is kind to Rodrigo Boavida, the homeless man who lives behind the Divina Comédia, and offers him an exquisite dish. But Rodrigo, who is a gourmet, thinks the vegetables are too old. Tânia offers her boyfriend's coat to the homeless and, when realizing that he is sick, decides to take him home. Rodrigo uses and abuses the hospitality, to the point that Carlos and Zé have to find a strategy to send him away.

Chef Valente is so happy that he sings in plain view and doesn't get angry at anyone, even forgetting to catch the attention of cooks who don't meet the work times. Fanã, distrustful of the change of mood, conspires with his colleagues. For him there is only one explanation: the Chef is involved in drugs. Carla harrasses Zé and goes so far as to blackmail him. If he does not go to her house, send Carlos and Tânia away. Between dating, harassment, and disagreements, do they stand up to such confusion?
Chef Valente is in the hospital. Susana and Zé take a bubble bath and cause a flood in the neighbor's house. The Boss reappears in the Divina Comédia and brings great news: Kika will return!

With the optimism and the ease that characterize him, Manel thinks that it will be a "piece of cake" but, in fact, the young man did not expect so many difficulties. He'll have to deal with an irascible Chef, naughty fellows, and a sexy, but haughty manager. To know how to cook, it's not enough, he has to have other qualities...
