Levin and Lobanov must work with some... strange patient, who insists that he's a victim of the aliens experiments (in truth, it was his friends' prank that gone wrong). Levin believes in aliens, while Lobanov thinks that they are alcohol-induced hallucinations at best; Semyon decides to use this as an opportunity to troll Lein. While they manages to "heal" their patient from his delusions, Bykov leaves them on a night shift for the sheer amount of idiocy involved in it.
Gleb suggests Varya to tell him her sexual fantasies, but she is too shy for this. Meanwhile, Bykov must characterise each of his interns... and their characteristics must be positive. Bykov would not do it himself, so he just drops everything on Varya. She takes this opportunity to answer Gleb's question, by hiding her fantasies in Gleb's characteristic, hoping that he would read it. But he doesn't, and Bykov gives this characteristics to Kisegach as is, which causes a lot of awkwardness when she reads it in front of Bykov.
Lyuba must force the technician Ivanovich to (finally) fix a broken lamp. Since Ivanovich is an alcoholic, he can be persuaded with vodka. Lots of vodka. By the end of the day, he does his job... only for that lamp to get broken by Lobanov, who accidentally mistakes it for an actual UFO.
This episode provides examples of:
- Agent Mulder: Surprisingly, Levin. Despite normally being "hardcore scientist", he is the one to insist that there's a lot which is yet to be discovered, including aliens. Even he doesn't believe that their patient really was abducted by the aliens, though.
- Agent Scully: Lobanov. He doesn't believe in the aliens at all, especially since he had experience with crazy people who believed to be abducted, only to reveal that their "abduction" was either alcohol or drugs-induced hallucination, or a mental disorder; he even mentions one specific case when his old patient, wrapped in tinfoil, shouted about "fighting with aliens"... with soldering iron. Since Levin does believe in aliens, Lobanov decides to make fun of him, by stealing his glasses, and then hiring the patient's "alien" friends to scare him.
- The Alcoholic: Technician Ivanovich; this is how Lyuba tries to persuade him into finally doing his job — by providing him with vodka. Lots of vodka. When even this fails, Lyuba tries to just become his drinking buddy (which works better). Surprisingly, he still manages to do his work in the end, without botching it or worse, injuring or killing himself.
- Alien Abduction: Levin and Lobanov must work with the patient who believes that he was abducted by the aliens and was experimented upon; in truth, it was his friends' prank which Gone Horribly Right. Lobanov later plays a prank on Levin with the same guys' help, using Levin's inability to see anything without his glasses.
- Blatant Lies: Bykov insists that the characteristics were written by him. Even when Kisegach starts reading aloud the parts about Varya's sexual fantasies about Gleb, including those where he plays a dominant role.
- Blind Without Them: Levin can't see anything without his glasses. Lobanov steals them to make fun of him (with cooperation of the patient's "alien" friends). This works perfectly enough to scare Levin into running in panic.
- Brick Joke: The broken lamp finally gets fixed in the end, only for half-awake Lobanov (who received a night shift along with Levin for his previous screwup) to get scared (it's bright enough that he mistakes it for an actual UFO) and break it by throwing a flower pot in it.
- Gone Horribly Right: Lobanov and Levin's patient was a victim of his "friends" playing a drunk prank involving Alien Abduction. Unfortunately, he not just believes that he was truly abducted, but is now obsessed with it to the point of requiring a medical attention. The patient snaps out of it only when they reveals their faces during attempt to scare Levin; he is not amused.
- Here We Go Again!: In the end, when Ivanovich finally fixes the broken lamp, its bright light awakes Lobanov, who mistakes if for actual UFO, and, in panic, throws a flower pot at it, breaking it.
- Poor Communication Kills: Instead of writing the characteristics himself, Bykov assigns Varya to do it for him. She asks Gleb to read his characteristic and tell her if something must be corrected (unknowingly to Gleb, she hid her sexual fantasies about him here), and he agrees, only to instantly forget and then just give them to Bykov, who then gives them to Kisegach without reading them either. In the end, Kisegach receives "characteristic" consisting of Varya's sexual fantasies about Gleb (including about Gleb dominating her in an elevator), and Bykov's attempt to insist that it was written by him only makes the situation more awkward.
