Tensions are running high in Naples as the Savastano and Conte families gear up for an all-out war. In "Open War," Gennaro Savastano and his allies continue to plot their revenge against the Conte family, who shot and killed Genny's father in the previous season. Genny's mother and uncle, who have both been released from prison, are also eager to take revenge against the Contes.

Meanwhile, the Conte family is trying to solidify their power and keep their enemies at bay. Patrizia, who has been working as a double agent for both families, is forced to choose a side as the conflict intensifies. She is torn between her loyalty to Don Pietro Savastano and her desire to protect her family and herself.

The episode opens with a tense exchange between Gennaro and Patrizia, where Genny questions her loyalty and demands that she prove herself. Patrizia is desperate to keep Genny's trust, but she knows that she cannot reveal her true allegiances. As Genny becomes more and more suspicious, Patrizia turns to Don Pietro for help, but he is preoccupied with his own problems.

Don Pietro, who has been in hiding since his escape from prison, is struggling to stay alive and evade the police. He is also grappling with his guilt over the death of Genny's father, and he is haunted by visions of his past. As he searches for a way to redeem himself, he comes to a stunning realization about his family and his own actions.

Meanwhile, the Contes are preparing for battle. Malammore, the ruthless head of the Conte family, rallies his troops and lays out his plan for taking down the Savastanos. He is determined to crush his enemies and secure his hold on the criminal underworld, but his arrogance may be his downfall.

As the episode progresses, the tension mounts and the stakes get higher. The Savastanos and Contes engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with both sides determined to come out on top. The violence escalates, and the body count rises, as the two families engage in a brutal and bloody battle for control.

In the midst of all this chaos, there are moments of humanity and connection.

Don Pietro finds unexpected allies and faces his demons, while Malammore's daughter tries to break free from her father's grip.

As the episode comes to a close, the fate of the characters hangs in the balance. The war between the Savastanos and Contes reaches a fever pitch, and no one is safe.
