Gleb thinks about quitting smoking: Phil bothers him with it without end; he has a bet with his friend; and now he has nicotine patch -- who knows, maybe he would quit for real? Lobanov (who recently had a similar discussion with Olga, who accused him of lack of willpower to quit) considered this to be funny -- because Semyon talked with his wife, while Gleb with Phil, and this looks just a little too similar for comfort; who knows, maybe Phil and Gleb becomes a little ''too'' close? After dealing with his job, Gleb confronts Phil about him being way too close for comfort, and tells Phil to leave him alone. He later realises that he was too harsh and tries to apologise, but due to Phil continuing acting in a "mama hen" mode, he snaps at him again, this time without any help from Semyon.

Semyon and Gleb have a stage magician Orlandino as their new patient, and have different opinions about his skills: Gleb thinks that Orlandino is a really cool magician, while Semyon thinks that he is just pretender at best and a con artist at worst; Semyon even has a bet with Orlandino about this: Lobanov would hide his pursue, and Orlandino would need to somehow obtain it, without leaving the room. When Lobanov remembers about Orlandino and comes to test his "magic", he's well-prepared to sabotage everything the "magician" can use against him, by holding his pursue wit his arm and keeping it in his pocket. But instead of taking the pursue, Orlandino somehow obtains all the money from it, which he promptly reveals to Semyon. He refuses to reveal how he did this, but Gleb does it for him: he and Orlandino were in league, just to mess with Lobanov.

Igor, Bykov's favourite ficus, dies due to neglect (after Lyuba leaved, no one bothered to water it, because interns were forbidden to even touch it, while Rita was simply unaware). Bykov realises that this was his fault and falls into depression. Rita orders each intern to bring Bykov some good news to somewhat compensate for it. However, neither one of them succeeds with attracting his attention. Meanwhile, Varya, who was earlier invited by David to quit the Therapy and join him in the Surgery, can't spit it out to Bykov, out of fear to make Bykov's condition worse. Kupitman reveals to interns and Rita that "Igor" is, in fact, just the last ficus in a ''long'' line: they just keeps dying due to neglect, and Bykov just keeps reacting to it like the end of the world, then buying new ones (always calling them "Igor"). Varya finally gathers enough courage to tell Bykov about leaving the Therapy. This snaps Bykov out of depression... but drops Varya into it, as she feels insulted by Bykov's indifference. Bykov realises that she misunderstood his reaction, and tells her that he's happy not with her leaving, but her being the the first of his pupils who has found her own place in life and became independent; they parts on the good terms.

* AgentScully: Semyon believes that their patient, [[StageMagician Orlandino]], is just an ordinary magician at best and ConMan at worst, but certainly ''not'' a real mage -- even after Orlandino demonstrates him his a trick which just can't be explained in any rational way.

Gleb later tries to apologise (mentioning that this was Semyon's fault), but due to Phil continuing acting overprotectively towards him, he snaps again and tells Phil to go screw himself.

David suggests Varya to leave Bykov and Therapy, and join him in Surgery instead, but she's unsure wether it would be a good idea.

Igor, Bykov's favourite ficus, died due to neglect (because after Lyuba leaved, no one bothered to water it, because interns were forbidden to even touch it, while Rita was simply unaware). Bykov realised this was his fault and fell into depression. Rita ordered each intern to bring Bykov some good news to somewhat compensate for it. However, neither one of them succeed to attract his attention.

Varya doubts it's good time to leave Therapy, now, when Bykov is depression -- what if it would harm him even more? David tries to assure her, but when she tried, she simply couldn't spit it out.

Kupitman reveals to interns and Rita what "Igor" is, in fact, just the last ficus in a ''long'' line: Bykov just keeps killing his plants due to neglect (each time reacting like this), and he keeps buying new ones, which he always calls "Igor".

Semyon finally remembers about Orlandino and comes to test his "magic". Semyon well-prepared to sabotage whatever "magician" may use against him -- by keeping pursue in his pocket, while holding it with his arm. But even then Orlandino somehow managed to... no, not taking pursue, but extract all money from it -- which he promptly revealed to Semyon. He refused to reveal how he did this, of course, but Gleb did it for him: he and Orlandino were in league all along, just to mess with Semyon; Gleb helped by stealing money, while Orlandino "found" them with his "magic". After separating with Lobanov, Gleb confronted Phil about him being way too close for comfort, and tell him to leave him alone. He later realised what he was too harsh and tried to apology, but due to Phil continuing acting in "mama-hen" mode, he snapped at him again, this time without any Semyon's help.

Meanwhile, Varya finally managed to tell Bykov about her leaving Therapy. This actually managed to snap him out of his depression... and dropped into depression Varya herself, who felt insulted by Bykov's indifference. Bykov, realising what she was misunderstood, tell her what he was happy not about her leaving, but rather about her ''finally founding her own place in life'' -- first amongst his interns.

* NoodleIncident: Bykov's current reaction to "[[LegacyCharacter Igor's]]" death isn't the most sever one; he tried to off himself when the fourth one died, and there was something outright unspeakable the very first time.

PetTheDog: Bykov assures Varya what he was that he's happy not for her leaving him, but rather, for her ''finally finding her place in life'', first amongst his interns.

Added DiffLines:

Gleb thinks about quitting smoking: Phil bothers him with it without end; he has a bet with his friend; and now he has nicotine patch -- who knows, maybe he would quit for real? Lobanov (who recently had a similar discussion with Olga, who accused him of lack of willpower to quit) considered this to be funny -- because Semyon talked with his wife, while Gleb with Phil, and this looks just a little too similar for comfort; who knows, maybe Phil and Gleb becomes a little ''too'' close?

Semyon and Gleb have StageMagician Orlandino as their new patient, and have different opinions about his skills: Gleb thinks what Orlandino is really cool magician, while Semyon thinks he is just pretender at best and ConArtist at worst; Semyon even has a bet with Orlandino about this: Lobanov would hide his pursue, and Orlandino would be must to somehow obtain it, without leaving the room.

David suggests Varya to leave Bykov and Therapy, and join him in Surgery instead, but she's unsure wether it would be a good idea.

Igor, Bykov's favourite ficus, died due to neglect (because after Lyuba leaved, no one bothered to water it, because interns were forbidden to even touch it, while Rita was simply unaware). Bykov realised this was his fault and fell into depression. Rita ordered each intern to bring Bykov some good news to somewhat compensate for it. However, neither one of them succeed to attract his attention.

Varya doubts it's good time to leave Therapy, now, when Bykov is depression -- what if it would harm him even more? David tries to assure her, but when she tried, she simply couldn't spit it out.

Kupitman reveals to interns and Rita what "Igor" is, in fact, just the last ficus in a ''long'' line: Bykov just keeps killing his plants due to neglect (each time reacting like this), and he keeps buying new ones, which he always calls "Igor".

Semyon finally remembers about Orlandino and comes to test his "magic". Semyon well-prepared to sabotage whatever "magician" may use against him -- by keeping pursue in his pocket, while holding it with his arm. But even then Orlandino somehow managed to... no, not taking pursue, but extract all money from it -- which he promptly revealed to Semyon. He refused to reveal how he did this, of course, but Gleb did it for him: he and Orlandino were in league all along, just to mess with Semyon; Gleb helped by stealing money, while Orlandino "found" them with his "magic". After separating with Lobanov, Gleb confronted Phil about him being way too close for comfort, and tell him to leave him alone. He later realised what he was too harsh and tried to apology, but due to Phil continuing acting in "mama-hen" mode, he snapped at him again, this time without any Semyon's help.

Meanwhile, Varya finally managed to tell Bykov about her leaving Therapy. This actually managed to snap him out of his depression... and dropped into depression Varya herself, who felt insulted by Bykov's indifference. Bykov, realising what she was misunderstood, tell her what he was happy not about her leaving, but rather about her ''finally founding her own place in life'' -- first amongst his interns.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* AgentMulder: Gleb, who believes what their patient, Orlandino, is not only really cool StageMagician, but may, in fact, possess real magic. {{Subverted|Trope}} in what he was in league with Orlandino all along, just to mess with Semyon.
* AgentScully: Semyon, who believes what their patient, [[StageMagician Orlandino]], is just ordinary magician at best and ConMan at worst, but certainly ''not'' a real mage -- ever after Orlandino demonstrated him his focus which just can't be explained in any rational way. Semyon even tried to bring up hypnosis, because this would still be easier to believe in than magic. Ultimately he was proven right, because Orlandino only managed to achieve this trick with [[{{Troll}} Gleb's help]].
* AmbiguouslyGay: What Semyon used to mock Gleb's current relationship with Phil -- they sound ''too'' similar to his relationship with Olga -- his wife. Gleb, who never noticed it until now, become nervous about this until he snapped and tell Phil to leave him alone. Gleb later tried to apology (mentioning what this was Semyon's fault), but due to Phil continuing acting overprotectively towards him, he snapped again and tell Phil to go screw himself.
* BenevolentBoss: David's boss is much nicer to his subordinates; when he busted Varya sitting on his table, making out with David, he only joked, while Varya expected something Bykov-lkie: scream, insults, threats and punishments. David assured her what Bykov is ''only'' really BadBoss in the hospital, and suggested her to move to his department instead.
* TheBet: Semyon has one with StageMagician Orlandino -- wether he really has those skills he claims he has, or if he just pretender.
* CantSpitItOut: Varya tried to warn Bykov what she plans to leave Therapy (to work with David), but can't spit it out. She finally succeed at the end of episode.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Scenes from Bykov's [=PoV=] are shot in monochrome to represent his depression. Same for Varya when she interpreted Bykov's joy as him being happy about her leaving.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: InUniverse, Semyon compares Gleb's interactions with [[HasTwoDaddies Phil]] to be way too similar to his interactions with Olga -- meaning, of course, what Gleb and Phil are on [[AmbiguouslyGay half-way to become a couple]]. This discussion kickstarted Gleb's and Phil's plot of the episode. Initially sceptical, Gleb quickly starts seeing what Semyon may be right, to his frustration.
* FalseReassurance: How Bykov greeted Rita and [[RecurringExtra Pasha]] (all in joyful voice):
-->''"I warn you: I went to work late, ergo I slept well, ergo I have good mood... and whoever spoils it, would receive nail in the head"''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bykov forbid anyone besides him or Lyuba to touch [[ABoyAndHisX Igor]]; he trusted Lyuba to keep water it, but completely forgot what she'd leaved already. Due to everyone else being too scared to touch it, Igor died without water.
* ImpossiblyAwesomeMagicTrick: [[StageMagician Orlandino]] ''somehow'' managed to steal money from Semyon's pursue, despite him keeping it in his pocket, while ''holding it with his hand''. Later it was revealed what money were stolen by Gleb even before Semyon went to Orlandion; they were in league to make fun of Lobanov.
* KilledOffForReal: {{Subverted|Trope}}. [[ABoyAndHisX Igor, Bykov’s ficus]], died due to neglect, because after Lyuba [[PutOnABus leaved]], no one bothered to water it, due to being too afraid to touch it without order. Bykov barely keep his voice calm when he order everyone to leave him alone. Fortunately, as Kupitman later stated, "Igor", in fact, is not one ficus, [[LegacyCharacter but several]]; this is not the first time Bykov allows Igor to die (he reacts in the same way ''every single time''), only to buy a replacement a couple of days later.
* LegacyCharacter: [[ABoyAndHisX Igor]] turns out to be this. This is, in fact, ''fifth'' time Bykov accidentally allows it to die due to neglect (each time reacting like this is the end of the world), but every single time he manages to find a replacement.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Bykov has this moment when he realised what its due to his order no one risked to water [[ABoyAndHisX Igor]] in Lyuba's absence. He didn't take it well, and fell into depression.
