Phil had drunk one-night stand with Olga. He can't just tell Semyon directly (Lobanov is a boxer, and would likely injures him), so instead it should be Olga who tells him: he wouldn't hurt her; but first, she would delicately learn what he think about Phil in general, to prepare. Unfortunately, it would be hard to keep secret, since Semyon and Gleb started asking Phil questions where he'd been that night, and with whom he had sex; he fails to find any better cover than it being a prostitute (and Lobanov later tells this story to Olya). Phil tries to correct his mistake and tell Semyon that he'd lied about a prostitute in attempt to "look cool"; now, Lobanov considers him to be a complete loser. Meanwhile, Olga continues asking Semyon, and comes to conclusion that he's not ready to the truth yet.
Bykov thinks that he did a right thing when moved to Kisegach (in fact, he should have done this much earlier, since this is obviously a living paradise). Unknowingly to him, Kisegach considers her new life with Bykov to be the hell, and asks Irina for advice; she suggests to just talk with Bykov and tell him that his behaviour is unacceptable. Kupitman tells Bykov that he acts like a total jerk and only thing that keeps Anastasia from kicking him out is sex; since he can't count on sex alone, it would be better to try and change his behaviour. When the two tries to talk, Bykov just shuts Kisegach up before she manages to tell him anything, and takes her away to "bed of love"; strangely, but this works, since on a next morning, she considers that everything is good as it is.
Varya notices a pistol in her patient's belongings. She is afraid that he may be dangerous, and asks Gleb for help... but when Gleb and security guard starts inspecting the patient's belongings, they fails to find anything. And just when they leaves, patient finds her and threatens to kill her (with that same gun which he previously hid somewhere) if she tells everyone else. She calls the police... and then it turns out that the patient actually wanted to be arrested. Why? Because this guy is a theatrical actor, who's tired of receiving the roles of some random cute animals, and wants a role of a serious villain... which his director would never give him — he looks "too kind". So, if the police would believe him, the director would, too! After that explanation, policemen just leaves him, thinking that he's a moron... but Varya actually does consider him to be good at this role, since she's believed him.
This episode provides examples of:
- Face of a Thug: Inverted. Varya's patient (an actor) wants a role of serious villain, but his director refuses him, because he looks "too kind" to be believable.
- I'll Take That as a Compliment: Varya tells her patient that he is "born to be a killer and maniac". Both of them considers this to be a compliment, since this is her admitting that he's good at playing villains (he's an actor who was struggling to be accepted as something more than just "generic nice guy").
- Ironic Juxtaposition: Bykov describes to Kupitman how his life became a "living paradise" when he started living with Kisegach. Simultaneously, Kisegach describes to Irina how this made her life a "living hell". The scene alternates between them each time one of them makes a new statement, to show how their views contrasts with each other.
- Missing Steps Plan: Varya's patient is not a real criminal — he's an actor. He always plays positive characters (mostly in something children-aimed), but wants to try a role of a villain... but director refuses him, since he's "too kind" to be believable. His plan to convince him otherwise? He buys a fake gun, threatens to kill someone, gets arrested, and director believes that he may play a villain and gives him better roles. Even policemen, when learning about this plan, just calls him a freak and lets it slide, this time. Varya, however, assures him.
- Out of Focus: Gleb has no significant role in this episode.
- Poor Communication Kills: Had Phil just discussed his cover story with Olya, he would've avoided attracting too much of Semyon's interest to their situation. Instead, Phil tries to defuse the situation by himself and lies that he was with a prostitute, which offends Olga and makes the potential punishment if Semyon finds out even more severe (he would not react well if he learns that Phil called Olga a "prostitute", regardless of context). Phil's clumsy attempt to "fix" it leads to Lobanov thinking that Phil just made everything up, and now he would mock him for being a loser, which is not much better.
- Weapon for Intimidation: Turns out that Varya's patient's gun is completely fake; though he bought it not for intimidation, but to provoke police into arresting him (it's... complicated).
