Levin and Romanenko are racing in wheelchairs across the hospital's hall Levin "wins"... only to get busted by the real disabled. Levin lies to them that he's disabled too, and they accepts him as their own. This quickly spirals out of control, and results in the collectively giving him expensive gift. Ultimately, Bykov learns about this and forces Levin to tell the truth and apologise. Of course, Levin also gets punished with a night shift.

After seeing a depressed patient, Varya argues with Bykov about the patients: she thinks that doctors must speak with them, so they wouldn't feel so lonely, while Bykov thinks that this wastes time. Varya tries to help this patient with his depression, and succeeds in improving his mood... but while she was busy working with him, Bykov already dealt with fourteen other patients. Unfortunately, now this patient would not leave Varya alone, driving her insane by his stories about his ex-wife, Nina. To get rid of too talkative patient for some time, Varya gives him sleeping pills. When Bykov finds out and forces her to accept that she just got tired of him, he tells her that if she spends too much time with one patient, she can be too late to save another. Then he promises to free her from him... after one week.

Lobanov meets his old friend, who needs to dodge army drafting. He asks Kupitman for help, who redirects Semyon to Bykov. Lobanov is unaware that Kupitman has another "little play" for him. After Bykov scares the guy by pretending to cut his leg, Kupitman lies to Semyon that somebody has reported to the police, and they are already here, searching for Lobanov. Kupitman locks Lobanov in a storeroom, where he, to deal with his fear, promptly drinks himself to the point of barely being able to talk coherently... just in time for Lobanov's wife, Olga, to call him.

* AnArmAndALeg: Bykov suggests Lobanov's friend to cut off his right leg, to guarantee that he [[DraftDodging wouldn't be conscripted]]. This scares him into running away, just like Bykov wanted.

This scares him into running away, just like Bykov wanted.
* BaitAndSwitch: The episode starts with Romanenko and Levin looking at the flatline, both tensed, accompanied by loud "peep" sound and dramatic music. Then turns out that it was a signal for them starting a race... on wheelchairs.

* NoodleIncident: When [[InvokedTrope lying to Lobanov's friend]] that he's about to cut his leg, Bykov orders Lyuba to sign the soon-to-be-cut leg, so it "wouldn't be like last time", when the hungry cats stole it.



* SnowballLie: When disabled patient sees him after [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext wheelchair race]], Levin is forced to pretend what he really is disabled. Maintaining this lie becomes progressively harder as time goes on.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Bykov learns about how Levin ended up amongst disabled people and even got a photo camera from them as present (he also lied to them about his "birthday"), Bykov gets angry and tells him to immediately return the present and apologise:

* WhatTheHellHero: StupidGood: Varya gets called out on not thinking before trying to help. The time she spent on talking with single patient to help with his depression, was enough for Bykov to treat ''fourteen'', and Varya can't even leave the patient now, as he's dependant on her now. Bykov lectures her on why it's wrong approach: the extra time she spends on helping one patient beyond her actual duties may be the time she would lack when helping someone who's in actual danger.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Bykov plays along with Kupitman's prank on Lobanov, but still gets angry at Kupitman and tells him that it was a dick move to not warn properly what he's getting himself into, as by accepting the money, Bykov made himself co-conspirator if Semyon gets caught.
** Levin's new friends don't react kindly to Bykov "abusing" Levin, unaware that [[ObfuscatingDisability Levin is actually pretending]] and Bykov is right at being angry at him.
