Anything Is Possible
Teen-aged Leonardo Da Vinci is an apprentice to the painter Andrea Del Verrochio and his friends include the super-clever Macchiavelli and Lorenzo, son of scheming Piero De Medici. Leonardo is impressed by the work of Tomasso, a pavement artist and persuades Verrochio to take him on as another student, which he does. When Tom is caught trying to take Leonardo's notebook, the boys are in for a surprise. Tom is a girl called Lisa, in disguise, in order to be allowed to paint.

Something Wicked
Leonardo and Tom are commissioned to paint a portrait of young bride-to-be Petronella,who is marrying thuggish,dishonest money lender Lucio solely to free her father from being in his debt.

Having parted him from his money they then literally frame him for stealing a painting,freeing Petronella - who guesses 'Tom's' secret but says nothing.

Angels and Cherubs
Lorenzo's uncle,the duke,sets a competition to find Florence's finest painter and cocky Michelangelo taunts Leonardo that he cannot beat him so Machiavelli enlists Lorenzo's help in tricking Michelangelo into painting the duke's least preferred topic,angels and cherubs. Leonardo,however,is annoyed that he is expected to collude in cheating and deliberately erases the smile from the teen-aged version of La Gioconda which he painted using Lisa as his model,thus allowing her, as 'Tomaszo' to win.

Lost and Found
Lisa's mother arrives in Florence to find her daughter and take her home for an arranged marriage, unaware of her new identity and profession.

However the false count has persuaded Giovanni to give up his sport to undertake charity work - not a popular decision among his Florentine fan base.
Episode 11 • Jun 19, 2011
Bandit Queen
After Piero has coerced 'Tom' into stealing Leonardo's notebook Leonardo and Machiavelli set out to recover it, planting a copy with blank pages. Meanwhile Lorenzo is temporarily held to ransom by Belladonna, the Bandit Queen of Florence, and Lisa, who has followed Leonardo, seized by Piero as an accomplice. Though the boys succeed in retrieving Lisa and the book, as well as seeing off Belladonna, they are aware that Piero now knows that Verrochio is illegally employing a girl as a painter - but unaware that he has made a copy of the notebook.
Episode 12 • Jun 26, 2011
Fireball
Piero summons Leonardo to his palace and suggests that,as both are 'men of vision',they should work together to produce one of the inventions in Leonardo's notebook. It is a toy but Machiavelli is led to believe that it is a bomb,with which Piero intends to kill the duke of Florence at his birthday party. Leonardo humiliates himself when the invention turns out to be the harmless toy and not the bomb about which he warns the duke. Piero has,of course,kept the real bomb for himself.
Episode 13 • Jul 03, 2011
Enter the Robot
A robot,designed by Leonardo but recreated by Piero as a fire-breathing demon,is on the loose in Florence until Piero,who has orchestrated its retreat, is declared a hero and asked to take over power from the duke. At last Leonardo appreciates that this is the culmination of Piero's theft of his note-book as a means to rule Florence. Accordingly he makes sure that during the 'demon's' next outing Piero is discredited and the duke reinstated. This however alienates him from dim Lorenzo,who cannot see his father's villainy.
