Beppe ended up carrying Dame Bella's Orchestra instead, however he became worried when Lorenzo did not show up and - with Gina's help - found him lost in an old scrapyard.

When Thomas wanted to learn opera, Beppe and Lorenzo tried to teach him. In the end, the pair were unable to do so, concluding that he simply was not cut out for it.
