The fifth episode of Mrs. Playmen commences with a thrilling encounter between a paparazzo and a vacationing couple in Greece, as he snaps unsettling nude photos. The narrative swiftly shifts to Italy, where the court issues a directive to Adelina and the Playmen team, compelling them to halt the release of all new magazine issues. Chartoux informs Adelina that they have 60 days to appeal and prove that Playmen is not imitating Playboy in any form.
As the legal tussle looms, Adelina and Chartoux brainstorm potential ideas for the upcoming issue. Meanwhile, the police chief warns Andrea that the paparazzo who snapped the popular woman's nude photos may try to sell them to Playmen. Andrea springs into action, determined to thwart the sale before it's too late.
At the Playmen office, Steve extends an invitation to Adelina to an exhibition, where he introduces her to Fulvio, a paparazzo attempting to peddle the Jackie Kennedy photos. Adelina offers 50 million lira for the images but is met with Fulvio's insistent demand for 100 million. She firmly declines, aware of the risks involved.
Andrea takes Elsa to a club, where his questions about Adelina and the business reveal his ulterior motives. Elsa sees through his game and decides to tell him the truth about the photos.
The next day, the Playmen staff works diligently on the upcoming issue while Adelina purchases Jackie's photos from Fulvio for 25 million lira, claiming he has no other buyers left. She reveals her plan to Chartoux – if the magazine is shut down, she will make a grand exit by publishing the photos. Later, she shares her intention to send divorce papers to Saro with Rocco.
That night, Elsa meets Andrea and discloses the truth about the photos. The following day, the police raid the Playmen office in search of Jackie Kennedy's photos. Adelina entrusts Elsa with the parcel and asks her to keep it safe. Andrea and the police search tirelessly but fail to locate them.
As the cops depart, Adelina asks Elsa to travel to Switzerland and hide the photos in a safe deposit box. Chartoux wonders how the police came to know about it and questions Elsa's trustworthiness as she heads to the airport, making a call to Andrea in the background. The episode concludes with Adelina eagerly awaiting Lorenzo's return home for his birthday.
Lorenzo's day was a celebration with Anna and their friends, but it was marred by a sudden turn of events. As he witnessed Anna sharing a kiss with an older man, his heart sank, and he spurred off on his bike, only to be involved in a minor mishap along the way. Returning home, he unburdened himself to Adelina about his predicament with Anna, who yearned for an open relationship.
Adelina empathized, trying to reason that Anna might be grappling with trust issues due to her past experiences with her father. That night, as she was rummaging through Lorenzo's jacket, she stumbled upon a poster that hinted at Andrea's criminal past. Meanwhile, Andrea scoured for Elsa at her apartment, to no avail.
Elsa reached out to Adelina via phone, informing her that the photos had been deposited and requested her presence at a hotel. Later that day, Hugh Hefner called, inquiring if Adelina was willing to sell Playmen. He offered to retain the original staff, but Chartoux urged her to consider the lucrative offer. However, Adelina suspected that Hefner's intention was to shut down the magazine once he had it in his hands.
Adelina met with Steve and discussed the Jackie Kennedy photos. He revealed the prenup agreement between Kennedy and Onassis, mentioning that if Jackie were found at fault, the settlement would be null and void. Adelina learned from Flavio that the photos were staged by Onassis, who sought a separation from his wife.
Determined to publish the photos, Adelina oversaw the sale of the magazines to the public. Andrea and the police chief faced heat from the US Embassy. As Adelina and her team celebrated another successful issue, they began receiving calls from brands eager to sponsor the magazine.
Adelina received a call from Carlos, who suggested selling the magazine to Playboy. She replied that she would await the upcoming hearing before making a decision. She confronted Elsa about her involvement with Andrea, reiterating her trust in her friend despite everything. Saro grew increasingly frustrated upon seeing the divorce papers.
At home, Adelina found Lorenzo listening to Masi's podcast, disparaging the magazine. However, they engaged in a cordial conversation, and as the episode drew to a close, Adelina attended an exhibition with Steve, where their connection deepened as the night unfolded.
