In Kolokotronitsi, mayor Periandros Popotas defends tradition, but the arrival of Chara Chaska, a young historian from the capital, sparks a clash between old values and change.
Under the guidance of Periandros, the village decides to drive her out due to her inappropriate behavior with the outsider. No one is willing to provide her with food to survive, except for Periandros' sister, Stavroula.
Periandros Popotas takes drastic steps to expel Chara from the village, cutting off her water and electricity. As others in the village sabotage her, Chara confronts him, realizing the truth about his actions.
Chara's decision to open a café, a bold move until now, hits the village like a bombshell. Stavroula tries to stop her, warning her that it will ruin everything, but Chara is determined to offer something modern and unique.
Periandros finds another way to undermine Chara's café: he turns the village women against her, claiming she leads men into sin with her movements. Chara, unfazed, continues to push forward with her café.
The day of the grand opening arrives. Periandros announces that he will grant Chara the permit, as he has finally understood that her café is a respectable place, especially since she is raising a child on her own.
After the scandal with the Russians, the villagers refuse to even step outside of Chara's café. Exhausted, she decides to sell it and return to Athens. However, little Valia is opposed and refuses to leave.
Chara asks for help from Father Triantafyllos. He visits the café, which fascinates Periandros and draws attention to the relationships of the Kolokotronitsi Church and its cultural activities.
Tasia and Stavroula, after the outburst, seek refuge with Periandros. Periandros offers shelter to Stavroula but sends Tasia away. Stavroula tries to reunite with Fatsea, but the chaos resumes, and she is once again caught at Chara's café.
The traditional dance at Vangelis' café is set to happen at the Athens banquet hall. There, after Chara's invitation, Periandros will dance with her to a song that will have a significant impact on him.
Since the moment Periandros danced with Chara, he hasn't been able to get her out of his mind. When he finds a clay necklace left in his house, he believes Chara has cast a spell on him.
Periandros visits the priest to "exorcise" and cleanse himself from the sinful thoughts. Stavroula learns about the pregnancy. Aglaia, continuing her efforts to win the mayor's favor, prepares a potion with - herbs.
