We continue to delve into the problems of fathers and children and the world of oenology in the sixth episode of the series 'Drops of God', where a trip to Italy and answers to previously raised questions awaited us.
In the episode titled 'Legacy', the struggle for...drumroll...the inheritance of Alexandre (Stanley Weber) intensifies. Camille (Fleur Geffrier) heads to Italy to find the right wine to win the second round. Meanwhile, Issei (Tomohisa Yamashita) instead focuses on uncovering the truth about his father, completely ignoring the duel.

3 Days Until the Deadline
There are three days left until the end of the second trial. However, Camille has no idea which wine is the answer. As a last resort, she decides to go to Italy with Lorenzo.
Lorenzo rents a luxurious sports car, and then they drive to the art gallery where the painting shown in the trial is located. They question a local art historian, who tells them about the artist's special connection with her father, Nunzio Galizia.
The heroes book a room in a picturesque hostel nearby and visit the famous artist's home. However, the owner refuses to speak with them. Not knowing what to do next, Camille decides to try all the white wines in the area. Why not?!
However, all the winemakers refuse to let Camille and Lorenzo taste their wines. That night, the girl cannot sleep and strikes up a conversation with the hostel owner, Elisabetta.
How Does Elisabetta Know Alexandre?
It turns out that Elisabetta knew all about Camille and her duel for the inheritance. She also knew Alexandre, who had visited their region to gather material for his wine guide. Elisabetta advises Camille to be more persistent in dealing with the local winemakers.
The next day, the heroes try again to find the same winemakers, this time mentioning Alexandre's guide. This frightens the locals, and they allow the foreigners to taste their drinks. Camille drinks all the white wines in the area, but none of them match the set of fruits and flowers from the painting. The situation seems hopeless.
Fathers and Children
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Issei wants answers about his parents. He steals a comb with his father's hair and threatens his mother with a DNA test to find out the truth.
Honoka begs her son not to take the test, as it would bring great shame to their family. In reality, Issei was just bluffing his mother, and she inadvertently revealed the truth without any tests.
Issei meets with journalist Yurika, who has news about his father. Hirokazu has been spotted; he is alive. However, Issei is confused and confesses to the girl that his real father is Alexandre, not Hirokazu.
He doesn't know if he wants to continue participating in the trials. Together with Yurika, they return to his apartment. There, the guy talks about his family and upbringing, and the girl pulls the melancholic hero into bed.
Back at the 'hotel', Camille tells Elisabetta about the unsuccessful wine tasting. Elisabetta tells her that Alexandre's wine guide once led to the bankruptcy of businesses. And she compares Camille to her father (what a twist!).
Who Was Piero Fossati?
In one of the places Camille and Lorenzo visited, a winemaker tells them about Piero Fossati, Elisabetta's father. He was a respected winemaker, an innovator. However, his rebellious methods were not approved by society. Piero regularly worked with his daughter; they were inseparable. And then it dawns on Camille!
She asks to taste Elisabetta's table wine. It reminds her of family and legacy. Now the girl is sure that Alexandre chose this very wine for the second trial.
Elisabetta admits that this wine was the last one she made with her father before his illness. Alexandre wanted to include it in his guide, but they refused. Now Elisabetta admits she was wrong about Alexandre.
At the same time in Japan, Yurika (!) finds the same answer. She opens the box of Alexandre's belongings, the very one that was given to Issei. Inside are recordings of Alexandre's lectures. The name of the wine is written next to a photo of the painting. That simple?
Who Wins the Second Trial?
Both contestants, knowing the correct answer, go to the second trial. Camille writes the name Casa dei Fossati on her sheet – Issei does the same. But at the last moment, the Japanese man crosses out his answer, so Camille wins. 1:1. The winner will be determined by the third and final round in the battle for the inheritance.
Camille runs out of the office, furious at Issei's behavior. She calls her 'friend' Thomas and tells him about the victory, but declares that she will not take on Alexandre's guide, as it is too much responsibility.
Yurika asks Issei why he 'threw' the trial. The guy replies that he didn't deserve to win by cheating. At the same time, he is upset that he appeared arrogant in front of his half-sister.
The episode ends with Camille telling Luca that she will not take on the responsibility of compiling new wine guides. Luca suddenly transforms from a nice and charming uncle into a true cynic and, to some extent, a villain. He tells Camille that he will do everything to make her fail the final test and not receive the inheritance. Masks are gradually falling off the faces of even the seemingly nicest people.
