Polina wants to finally befriend the other interns, and needs Rita's help. Rita suggests her a simple plan: just organise some an alcoholic fest for everyone; this works nearly every time. Since Polina has no money to buy her own booze, Rita suggests to ask Kupitman for help. Kupitman agrees to help Polina -- if she would take some of his patients. But once she does her work, he reveals that she completely misunderstood him; that cognac would be gifted not by ''him'', but by the ''patients'' -- this is how Kupitman always receives it. Unfortunately, she has only three patients left. She tries to obtain cognac from one of them, but fails, with the last one complaining to Kisegach about her extorting alcohol from him. However, Kisegach remembers how she had a similar problem when she just became a Chief Doctor, and reluctantly agrees to help, by providing Polina some of her own stock. Meanwhile, Kupitman realises that all of his cognac was stolen -- and Polina is the obvious first suspect. But after talking with polina, he learns that it was actually ''Kisegach'' who stole it: she needed something for a delegation which would arrive tomorrow. Kupitman feels betrayed, and "compensates" from Polina's booze, taking all the good beverages, leaving only the cheap booze which he doesn't want. However, Rita takes pity at her, and helps her throw a party, which everyone actually likes.
Phil's patient vehemently refuses the operation out of fear that ''something'' would go wrong, because he is ''deadly'' unlucky. Phil, knowing that he can't deal with situation by himself, asks Gelb for help. His role is to "prove" to the guy that he's not as unlucky as he thinks. Of course, they rigs all "tests" in patient's favour. This ultimately leads to patient believing that he may actually defeat his "curse". Then he drops his phone, causing Phil himself to start doubting wether everything would go as fine as they claim. The patient indeed runs into problems when the operation actually started, and Phil quickly jumps into conclusion that he just sent the guy to his doom, about which he tells to Bykov. But when Bykov checks, turns out that the operation was for ''different'' patient -- Phil's patient is actually fine -- despite everything seemingly going wrong since the start. The patient now believes that it's the luckiest day of his life, not knowing that his surgeon forgot a tampon inside him.
Semyon's patient, Karina, is a very rich, and ''very'' haughty bitch, who insists on being treated with respect she "deserves" -- without showing any to anyone else. They quickly becomes enemies, with patient calling her boyfriend Alyosha to "deal" with Semyon. Failing to deal with the problem by himself, Lobanov asks Bykov to help with kicking Karina out, but Bykov refuses, stating that he considers Karina to be cute, calm woman towards whom he feels nothing but sympathy. Semyon explains the situation, but Bykov still refuses, stating that ''he'' has conflicts with the VIP patients, he solves them himself, without involving other people. When Alyosha finally arrives, he turns out to be ''much'' more reasonable than Karina, and explains that she acts like this to ''everyone'' (he actually agrees with most of what Semyon had said about her). He suggests Lobanov to just apologise: if Semyon would tolerate her for just one more day, Alyosha would take her away to Germany, and Semyon would never see her again. He would also offers him some good money, after which Lobanov agrees. Seeing how humble Lobanov has became, Bykov and Romanenko decides that something is wrong, and came to conclusion that he was scared into compliance. They decides to "help" him by calling one of Bykov's ''very'' top-caliber friends, which saves Semyon from his patient, but also prevents him from earning easy money.

Kupitman feels betrayed, and "compensates" from Polina's booze, taking all the good beverages, leaving only the cheap booze which he doesn't want. However, Rita takes pity at her, and helps her throw a party, which everyone actually likes.

unlucky. Phil, knowing that he can't deal with situation by himself, asks Gelb for help. His role is to "prove" to the guy that he's not as unlucky as he thinks. Of course, they rigs all "tests" in patient's favour. This ultimately leads to patient believing that he may actually defeat his "curse". Then he drops his phone, causing Phil himself to start doubting wether everything would go as fine as they claim. The patient indeed runs into problems when the operation actually started, and Phil quickly jumps into conclusion that he just sent the guy to his doom, about which he tells to Bykov. But when Bykov checks, turns out that the operation was for ''different'' patient -- Phil's patient is actually fine -- despite everything seemingly going wrong since the start. The patient now believes that it's the luckiest day of his life, not knowing that his surgeon forgot a tampon inside him.
Semyon's patient, Karina, isvery, a very rich, and ''very'' haughty RichBitch bitch, who insists on being treated with respect she "deserves" -- without showing any to anyone else. They quickly become becomes enemies, with patient calling her boyfriend Alyosha to "deal" with Semyon.
Kupitman agreed to help Polina -- if she would take some of his patients... but once she did her work, he revealed what she completely misunderstood him; that cognac would be gifted not by ''him'', but by ''patients'' -- this is how Kupitman always receives it, as would Polina. Unfortunately, theres only three patients left, so she has last three chances to acquire it.
Semyon. Failing to deal with his patient the problem by himself, Lobanov asked asks Bykov to help to kick her out -- and was refused; with kicking Karina out, but Bykov stated what refuses, stating that he considers her Karina to be cute, calm woman towards whom he feels only nothing but sympathy. When Semyon explained explains the situation, but Bykov still refused to help, refuses, stating what when he that ''he'' has conflicts with the VIP clients, patients, he solves them ''himself'', himself, without involving other people.
Polina completely failed to obtain cognac -- with last patient complaining to Kisegach about her extorting alcohol from him, but Kisegach (remembering how she had a similar problem when she just became Chief Doctor) reluctantly agreed to help her, and provided her with some from her own stock.
people. When Alyosha finally arrived into the hospital. He arrives, he turns out to be ''much'' more reasonable than his girlfriend. He explained what Karina, and explains that she acts like this to ''everyone'' (and he (he actually agrees with most of what Semyon had said about her), and suggested to apology; if her). He suggests Lobanov to just apologise: if Semyon would tolerate her for just one day more, he more day, Alyosha would take her away to Germany Germany, and Semyon would never see her again. Semyon reluctantly agreed when promised some money (''very'' good for someone like him).
Phil, knowing what he can't deal with situation by himself, asked Gleb for help. His role is to "prove" to the guy what he is not that unlucky as he thinks. Of course, they rigged all "tests" in patient's favour. This ultimately caused patient to believe what he may actually defeat his "curse". Then [[OhCrap he dropped his phone]], causing Phil himself to start doubting wether everythingHe would go fine.
Kupitman suddenly realises what all his cognac was stolen! Of course, Polina is first suspect. Polina tellalso offers him about Kisegach, some good money, after which Lobanov agrees. Seeing how humble Lobanov has became, Bykov and suggested to check himself. And... as it turns out, it was ''Kisegach'' who stoled all his cognac, because she needs Romanenko decides that something for delegation which would arrive tomorrow. Kupitman still thinks this was betrayal from her part. He apologised to Polina... and took away that good cognac which Kisegach gifted her with (and which she already promised to other interns), leaving her with cheap one he no longer wants.
Phil's patient immediately went into problems once operation actually started, and Phil quickly jumped into conclusion what he just sent him to his doom, about which he tell to Bykov. But once Bykov checked out, it turns out what not only operation ended in ''success'' -- it was operation on ''completely different patient''.
Bykov and Gleb considered Semyon suddenly becoming humble servant of his patient to be suspicious,is wrong, and came to conclusion that he must been was scared into compliance, and "helped" compliance. They decides to "help" him by calling one of Bykov's ''very'' top caliber friends. This saved top-caliber friends, which saves Semyon from his patient -- patient, but also prevented prevents him from earning easy money.
Phil's patient, despite all things what gone wrong, survived his operation (still believing it to be his luckiest day ever), though it seems his surgeon "forgot" tampon inside him.

While Bykov often comes into conflict with VIP clients, he deals with ''his'' problems ''by himself'', unlike Semyon.

Polina wants to finally befriend other interns, and needs Rita's help. Rita suggested her simple plan: just organise some boozefest for everyone; this works nearly always. Since Polina has no money to buy her own, Rita suggested to ask Kupitman for help.
Phil's patient vehemently refuses operation out of fear what ''something'' would went wrong, because he is ''deadly'' unlucky.
Semyon's patient, Karina, is very, ''very'' haughty RichBitch who insists on being treated with respect she "deserves" -- without showing any to anyone else. They quickly become enemies, with patient calling her boyfriend Alyosha to "deal" with Semyon.
Kupitman agreed to help Polina -- if she would take some of his patients... but once she did her work, he revealed what she completely misunderstood him; that cognac would be gifted not by ''him'', but by ''patients'' -- this is how Kupitman always receives it, as would Polina. Unfortunately, theres only three patients left, so she has last three chances to acquire it.
Failing to deal with his patient by himself, Lobanov asked Bykov to help to kick her out -- and was refused; Bykov stated what he considers her to be cute, calm woman towards whom he feels only sympathy. When Semyon explained situation, Bykov still refused to help, stating what when he has conflicts with VIP clients, he solves them ''himself'', without involving other people.
Polina completely failed to obtain cognac -- with last patient complaining to Kisegach about her extorting alcohol from him, but Kisegach (remembering how she had a similar problem when she just became Chief Doctor) reluctantly agreed to help her, and provided her with some from her own stock.
Alyosha finally arrived into the hospital. He turns out to be ''much'' more reasonable than his girlfriend. He explained what she acts like this to ''everyone'' (and he actually agrees with most of what Semyon said about her), and suggested to apology; if Lobanov would tolerate her for just one day more, he would take her away to Germany and Semyon would never see her again. Semyon reluctantly agreed when promised some money (''very'' good for someone like him).
Phil, knowing what he can't deal with situation by himself, asked Gleb for help. His role is to "prove" to the guy what he is not that unlucky as he thinks. Of course, they rigged all "tests" in patient's favour. This ultimately caused patient to believe what he may actually defeat his "curse". Then [[OhCrap he dropped his phone]], causing Phil himself to start doubting wether everything would go fine.
Kupitman suddenly realises what all his cognac was stolen! Of course, Polina is first suspect. Polina tell him about Kisegach, and suggested to check himself. And... as it turns out, it was ''Kisegach'' who stoled all his cognac, because she needs something for delegation which would arrive tomorrow. Kupitman still thinks this was betrayal from her part. He apologised to Polina... and took away that good cognac which Kisegach gifted her with (and which she already promised to other interns), leaving her with cheap one he no longer wants.
Phil's patient immediately went into problems once operation actually started, and Phil quickly jumped into conclusion what he just sent him to his doom, about which he tell to Bykov. But once Bykov checked out, it turns out what not only operation ended in ''success'' -- it was operation on ''completely different patient''.

Phil's patient vehemently refuses operation out of fear what ''something'' would went wrong, because he is ''deadly'' unlucky.
Semyon's patient, Karina, is very, ''very'' haughty RichBitch who insists on being treated with respect she "deserves" -- without showing any to anyone else. They quickly become enemies, with patient calling her boyfriend Alyosha to "deal" with Semyon.
Kupitman agreed to help Polina -- if she would take some of his patients... but once she did her work, he revealed what she completely misunderstood him; that cognac would be gifted not by ''him'', but by ''patients'' -- this is how Kupitman always receives it, as would Polina. Unfortunately, theres only three patients left, so she has last three chances to acquire it.
Failing to deal with his patient by himself, Lobanov asked Bykov to help to kick her out -- and was refused; Bykov stated what he considers her to be cute, calm woman towards whom he feels only sympathy. When Semyon explained situation, Bykov still refused to help, stating what when he has conflicts with VIP clients, he solves them ''himself'', without involving other people.
Polina completely failed to obtain cognac -- with last patient complaining to Kisegach about her extorting alcohol from him, but Kisegach (remembering how she had a similar problem when she just became Chief Doctor) reluctantly agreed to help her, and provided her with some from her own stock.
Alyosha finally arrived into the hospital. He turns out to be ''much'' more reasonable than his girlfriend. He explained what she acts like this to ''everyone'' (and he actually agrees with most of what Semyon said about her), and suggested to apology; if Lobanov would tolerate her for just one day more, he would take her away to Germany and Semyon would never see her again. Semyon reluctantly agreed when promised some money (''very'' good for someone like him).
Phil, knowing what he can't deal with situation by himself, asked Gleb for help. His role is to "prove" to the guy what he is not that unlucky as he thinks. Of course, they rigged all "tests" in patient's favour. This ultimately caused patient to believe what he may actually defeat his "curse". Then [[OhCrap he dropped his phone]], causing Phil himself to start doubting wether everything would go fine.
Kupitman suddenly realises what all his cognac was stolen! Of course, Polina is first suspect. Polina tell him about Kisegach, and suggested to check himself. And... as it turns out, it was ''Kisegach'' who stoled all his cognac, because she needs something for delegation which would arrive tomorrow. Kupitman still thinks this was betrayal from her part. He apologised to Polina... and took away that good cognac which Kisegach gifted her with (and which she already promised to other interns), leaving her with cheap one he no longer wants.
Phil's patient immediately went into problems once operation actually started, and Phil quickly jumped into conclusion what he just sent him to his doom, about which he tell to Bykov. But once Bykov checked out, it turns out what not only operation ended in ''success'' -- it was operation on ''completely different patient''.
Bykov and Gleb considered Semyon suddenly becoming humble servant of his patient to be suspicious, and came to conclusion he must been scared into compliance, and "helped" him by calling one of Bykov's ''very'' top caliber friends. This saved Semyon from his patient -- but also prevented him from earning easy money.
Phil's patient, despite all things what gone wrong, survived his operation (still believing it to be his luckiest day ever), though it seems his surgeon "forgot" tampon inside him.
Meanwhile, with Rita's help, Polina manages to organise party for her new friends, finally ending their quarrel.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* BornUnlucky: Phil's patient is ''very'' unlucky since the day he was born (May, [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13th]][[note]]Month where he was born bears special meaning, too, since word "May" in Russian sounds similar to Russian word for "toil", which created common superstition about people born in May[[/note]], on Monday). He was also born cord-wrapped (another negative superstition). He only learned to walk in three years... and once he tried, he immediately fell and broke his arm. It only become worse from here, and he had several bad omens just yesterday: when he was transported in ambulance, it went into car accident; then he was dropped from gurney; ''then'' his elevator "accidentally" stopped right across morgue. He is deadly certain operation Phil suggests him, with [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong 99% success rate]], would go wrong for him, as well. Phil suggested to talk with psychologist about it. Predictably, they failed to catch him before he leaved.
* DirtyCoward: When Lobanov explained why he needs Bykov's help with his [[RichBitch patient]], Bykov refused to help, since he considers Lobanov to be this: he started conflict with VIP patient thinking what he may dominate her, but once this failed, he tried to hide behind Bykov's back. While Bykov often comes into conflict with VIP clients, he deals with ''his'' problems ''by himself'', unlike Semyon.
* TheDreaded: Bykov's friend [[TheGhost Innokentiy]], apparently, has reputation like this, because after Bykov called him, it scared Alyosha and his [[RichBitch girlfriend]] enough for them to apology and leave.
* EtTuBrute: Kupitman's reaction when he learned what it was ''Kisegach'' who stole all his cognac; she was last one he could suspect, and considered this to be betrayal.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Polina's plot of this episode is her attempting to finally end her status as this, by befriending other interns who acts ''very'' hostile to her since day one.
* GodzillaThreshold: Bykov considered calling his friend [[TheGhost Innokentiy]] to be this, especially if they call him for something so "minor" as [[ButtMonkey Lobanov]].
* HenpeckedHusband: What [[RichBitch Karina's]] boyfriend Alyosha turns out to be. He tolerates his girlfriend merely because he ''really'' loves her, but even he agrees she's a bitch. When she starts ''yet another'' conflict, he's one to come and defuse situation.
* HintDropping: Polina's attempts to receive some cognac from her last three patients by "hinting" them about it completely failed. First one only stated what his problems ''started'' from cognac (so wether he understood her or not, theres nothing to catch with him); second one misunderstood her attempts as insult[[note]]Word "cognac" in Russian sounds like it was constructed from word "Конь" / " Kon' ", and Yak, so when she only pronounced first half of a word, he interpreted it as her calling him horse[[/note]]. She didn't bothered with third one and just asked directly -- and he complained to Kisegach.
* MeaningfulName: Polina tell Rita about funny case from her practice, when two patients with surnames "Koshkin" [[note]]("Кошка" / "Koshka" -- Cat)[[/note]] and "Myshkin" [[note]]("Мышь" / "Mysh" -- Mouse)[[/note]] being put in the same ward... where they ''immediately'' started conflicting and eventually fighting.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Phil, when he realised what he sent his patient on operation (despite his insistence not to), which (as he thought) ended tragically. In fact, not lone operation ended ''successfully'' (even if it was uneasy, which Phil misinterpreted but never bothered to doublecheck), it was on ''completely different patient''. When his patient finally arrived, Phil took him as visitor from other side (patient's specific wording didn't help), and started apologising. He only realised his mistake when guy mentioned lavement.
* OhCrap: Phil had this reaction when his [[BornUnlucky patient]] was finally snapped out of his pessimism... only to drop his phone in the middle of phone talk with wife, leading to Phil himself starting to doubt wether he may ''really'' be cursed.
* RichBitch: Lobanov's patient, Karian. She's bitchy blond girl from VIP ward with pet chihuahua, who considers her conditions to be "humiliating" (due to hospital serving her gruel; even her boyfriend, with whom she spoked over phone, mocked her for it). When Semyon arrived, she acted ''very'' rudely to him. [[NoYou He reacted in kind]], and ordered her to stop, under threat of kicking her out. He also ordered her to remove "that animal". She was unimpressed and called her boyfriend Alyosha.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Gleb has no major role in this episode, but without his help Phil likely would still have struggling to convince his patient for this operation.
* UnwantedAssistance: Lobanov was perfectly okay with suffering some humiliation if he would be paid; unfortunately, Bykov "saved" him.
* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Phil's patient is perfectly aware of this trope and fears what Phil's attempts to assure him what theres "99% chances what everything would go okay" [[TemptingFate just asks for him to become that 1%]]. He has [[BornUnlucky a reason]] to think like this.
