Continuing their journey in the car they head towards the next hotel where Rob receives a call from his agent telling him that he has got the part in the movie he auditioned for. After visiting another restaurant and doing more impersonations, the two of them head back to their rooms and Rob calls his wife wanting to tell her about his news - but she's too busy to talk and he doesn't get a chance to let her know. Steve calls his son Joe, who says he wants to join him in Italy.
6: Il Riccio, Capri
Steve breaks the news to Rob that Joe is coming out to Italy - and it means that they will have to miss out Sicily. Rob is gutted but Steve says that Emma has organised a place for them to go on the island of Capri instead.
Steve and Rob arrive at the cemetery where they are meeting Emma and Joe and all four of them get the ferry to Capri, where they arrive at another restaurant. During dinner, Joe reveals that Steve cried at the Mamma Mia film, prompting a Pierce Brosnan impression and setting Steve and Rob off on a round of further James Bond impressions. Rob reveals that he has got the part in the film he auditioned for.
The next day, Rob and Emma go for a meal together while Steve and Joe go for a swim in the sea. Rob reveals to Emma that he slept with Lucy from the boat trip and asks for advice on whether he should go back to her. Following their swim, Steve tells Joe that he is going to buy a house closer to him - and that he is more than welcome to stay with him if he wants. The sun sets on Rob and Steve's journey as they both consider a different way of living.
