Bykov is still in coma after being hit by a truck. Fortunately, there's still hope left. A doctor compares his condition to being under some sort of a "glass dome". By constantly interacting with him, his friends and colleagues may weaken and ultimately break that "glass dome", bringing him back into the wake world. Interns just can't decide who would do this, each one tries to volunteer, but Kisegach just leaves them to decide by themselves. Kupitman takes their attempts to promote themselves as shameful, and goes to Bykov by himself... which leads to him and Kisegach meeting a driver of the truck which hit Bykov, a woman called Marina, who now feels extreme regret over it. Kisegach is extremely hostile to her, but Kupitman decides to exploit the situation to hit on her.

her (which ultimately fails when she realises his intentions, and quits out of disgust).



Each intern tries to wake Bykov up by enraging him. Phil pretends to be fatally moronic in regards to his patient, and Gleb and Semyon provokes him with audacious comments. All of them fails (though Gleb and Semyon nearly succeeds), and then Varya steps in and starts irritating Bykov by the stories about David. Unfortunately, this still fails to achieve anything but nearly driving Bykov nuts.

Kupitman's attempts to hit on Marina ends in failure, since she realises his intentions and leaves out of disgust. Kisegach realises who is really the boss here and appoints ''Lyuba'' to be in charge in Bykov's absence. And Bykov finally awakes when he hears one short line from Kisegach: that she is pregnant...

And Anastasia then makes the last ditch attempt, and successfully wakes Bykov finally awakes when he hears one short line from Kisegach: up by telling him that she is pregnant...she's pregnant.



* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Bykov's condition is compared to him being under some sort of "glass dome", which prevents him from interacting with the outside world. Outside world, however, may interact ''with him''; any attempts to talk with him would gradually weaken the "glass dome" until it breaks. Indeed, throughout the whole episode, Bykov is depicted under a literal glass dome, angrily commenting on the stories the other people tells him. As the time goes on, the dome gradually gets damaged when Bykov gets provoked into strong emotions (specifically anger) and attacks the dome, until it resulted in explosion, finally freeing Bykov and allowing him to awake.

** According to Bykov, Kupitman's story about [[MyNewGiftIsLame alame gift from one of his patients]] (which he tried to use to raise Bykov's mood) is frustratingly boring. This certainly does not work towards the plan of awakening Bykov by speaking with him.
** {{Invoked|Trope}} by Varya in order to wake up Bykov. As Lyuba previously mentioned, her stories about [[LoveInterest David]] can "irritate even a deadman"; so, she correctly deduces that they may enrage Bykov, too, to the point he would wake up just to shut her up. Instead, it nearly drives him insane.

* EurekaMoment: Lyuba's offhand comment ("you may irritate even a deadman!") about her not shutting up about [[LoveInterest David]] helps Varya realise that she may try and start telling those stories to Bykov, [[TheBore until he awakes just to shut her up]].
* GaveUpTooSoon: When their method (enraging Bykov with [[RefugeInAudacity audacious comments]]) seemingly fails, Lobanov decides to abandon it... but Bykov can actually see that this leads to some progress, and (futilely) tries to encourage them to continue.

* RefugeInAudacity: Gleb's and Semyon's method of provoking Bykov into awakening involves them acting very rude and familiar, and openly admitting [[TheSlacker their laziness]]. This does not work at first, [[SeenItAll because Bykov is unsurprised]], but then Lobanov presses even further, which, while failes to awake Bykov, makes some progress for the first time. Unfortunately, [[GaveUpTooSoon they stops here and now]], thinking that they achieved nothing.
* RejectedApology: Marina, a river of that truck which hit Bykov in the previous episode [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feels extreme regret]] and arrived into the hospital to find out wether he would manage to get better. Kisegach is unimpressed and reacts ''very'' hostile, forcing Kupitman to calm her down.

* SeenItAll: First things Gleb and Semyon tries during their attempts to enrage Bykov by stories about their screwups is to state [[TheSlacker how lazy they are]]. It achieves zero results, as Bykov is completely unsurprised, and [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind can't get angry enough to act on it]]. Semyon's next comments works better, as he uses more serious screwups.



** Initially, interns are more concerned with who's supposed to be in charge than, you know, help Bykov. Gleb thinks that he is supposed to lead, because "genes" (his mother is a Chief Doctor). Semyon thinks that he is supposed to lead, because he is older; Gleb instantly counters this by pointing out that Kupitman is older than Kisegach, yet he is her subordinate. Phil suggests that "smartest one" must lead (likely implying himself), which Gleb counters by pointing out that Bykov is smarter than Kisegach, yet he is her subordinate. This irritates Lobanov, who tells that if he continues to use the same logic, they would stick with Varya as the leader (to which she agrees, and everyone else disagrees, in unison). Lobanov is first one to give up and just go to work (with others following).

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Truck driver who (accidentally) hit Bykov feels extreme regret because of whole situation, and even arrived into hospital to see if he would get any better.
* RefugeInAudacity: Gleb's and Semyon's method of provoking Bykov into awakening involves them acting very rude and familiar, and openly admitting [[TheSlacker their laziness]]. This does not work at first, [[SeenItAll because Bykov was unsurprised]], but then Lobanov pressed even further, which while failed to awake Bykov, makes some progress for a first time. Unfortunately, they stopped here and now, thinking what they achieved nothing.
* RejectedApology: Driver of that truck who hit Bykov in previous episode [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feels extreme regret]] and arrived into hospital to find out wether he would manage to get better. Kisegach is unimpressed and reacted ''very'' hostile, forcing Kupitman to calm her down.
* TakeAThirdOption: When they failed to diced who is leader, interns asked Kisegach, who suggested one patient (whom interns previously ignored) to be "win condition" (who treats him would be leader), but since they can't decide ''who would treat him'', they asked Lyuba. Lyuba manipulated them into doing all her work, and in the end Kisegach assigned ''her'' to be temporal "leader".
* WeAreStrugglingTogether:
** Initially, interns are more concerned with who supposed to be in charge than, you know, help Bykov. Gleb thinks he is supposed to lead, because "genes" (his mother is Head Doctor). Semyon thinks he is supposed to lead, because he is older; Gleb instantly counters this by pointing out what Kupitman is older than Kisegach, yet he is her subordinate. Phil suggests what "smartest one" must lead (likely implying himself), which Gleb counters by pointing out what Bykov is smarter than Kisegach, yet he is her subordinate. This irritates Lobanov, who tell what if he continues to use same logic, they would stick with Varya as leader (to which she agrees, and everyone else disagrees, in unison). Lobanov is first one to give up and just go to work (with others following)...
** Interns reassigned patient from one to another, because no one wanted to deal with him and be one to screw up. When patient complains about them to Kisegach, Gleb asks her to assign one of them to be in charge... but instead she makes treating that patient to be "win condition", forcing interns to fight for the right to treat him. When this lead to nowhere, too, Phil suggested to ask Lyuba... who manipulated them into doing all her work, without choosing anyone as a leader. This only stopped when Varya had EurekaMoment and rushed to Bykov.
* WhamLine: How Kisegach in a single line managed to achieve more than all interns in a whole day? By telling Bykov what she is pregnant.
* WhatTheHellHero: Kisegach reacted ''extremely'' negatively to Kupitman [[DirtyOldMan hitting on woman who nearly killed Bykov]]. Marina gave him another one when she realised what Kupitman tries to hit on her, and leaves.
