Kisegach accuses Bykov of not liking children. A chance to prove otherwise arise when one woman asks him to take care of her daughter Masha for some time (especially since otherwise the woman would ask Kisegach, making his position even worse). Bykov has neither time nor motivation to deal with Masha himself, and assigns his interns to take care of her. Lobanov quickly becomes the only one to stay with her. When bothered with request to "examine" Masha's doll, Semyon explains to her how to use stethoscope, and leaves: he needs to deal with internet provider's tech support (he has problems with internet at home; Bykov previously interrupted him). Bykov talks with Masha and realises that they have much in common, which gives him an idea: allow Masha to shout on interns along with him. Meanwhile, Kisegach, after talking with Masha's mother, realises that Bykov would never agree to play with a child for free, and there's some hidden motive. To her surprise, everything seems fine... and then Masha tells her grandmother how she spent her day, and repeats the insults Bykov used towards interns. Meanwhile, Semyon (who never succeeded with contacting tech support, due to Bykov constantly interrupting him) gets called out by Olga for "doing nothing".
Phil's patient suddenly turns out to be a baseball player — and not just ordinary player, but a captain of the Russian's national league! Phil believes him (after he shows his familiarity with terminology), but asks why supposedly famous sport star must stay in ordinary ward, while he deserves better conditions (completely missing the patient replying with obvious sarcasm), and rushes to Bykov. Bykov agrees... on condition that Phil would find at least one baseball fan. He predictably fails, with many people being outright surprised that there is a Russian baseball league. Meanwhile, another of Phil's patients, Kurishev, seeks Rita's help: he is in debt to the very dangerous people, and now fears that they may send their men after him (he even initially mistook orderlies for his creditor's goons). He then proceeds to irritate her to no end with his constant calls on her post with various ridiculous requests, like bring him food right into the ward (he's too afraid to leave), lock the ward with him in it, bring him an urinal (despite being close to restrooms — again, he's afraid to leave), and then to just give him a new ward due to everyone now knowing too well where he hides. At one point, she stops answering his calls at all. Kurishev continues his madness, now mistaking some black jeep he just saw in the window for his enemies arriving — and, of course, calls Rita. She is so fed up with him, she just sedates him. That's when Phil sends Gleb and Semyon ("armed" with baseball bats) to pretend to be baseball fans, to impress his patient... but they gets spotted by Kurishev, who mistakes them for his creditor's goons and jumps out of the window. He survives, but breaks some limbs. Meanwhile, the real goons arrives... and gets told that Kurishev just jumped out of the window... without mentioning that he survived.
This episode provides examples of:
- Bookend: At the start of his plot, Bykov gets chewed out for not bothering to talk with his daughter (to the point of erasing her number to make room for a pizza delivery service). In the end, he calls Alisa to talk with her.
- Child Hater: Kisegach accuses Bykov of hating children when she learns that he deleted the phone number of his daughter to make place for a pizza deliver service, and mentions that one time when he drove his friend's kid to tears by telling him that he would never become a cosmonaut, due to "wrong-shaped head" ("it wouldn't fit into a helmet"), which Bykov, for whatever reason, considered to be funny. The chance to convince Kisegach otherwise arise when one woman asks him to take care of her daughter Masha for one day, to which Bykov agrees once she mentions that she planned to ask Kisegach before meeting him; his only condition is to tell Kisegach that he is a "good babysitter and father" — after which Bykov assigns his interns to take care of Masha, and leaves, giving them carte-blanche (Masha irritates him to no end). He changes his mind when he realises that he can cooperate with Masha to make fun at his interns' expense.
- Comically Missing the Point: When Kisegach mentions that she saw Alisa in her dream, Bykov asks her whether she had seen "the full band, or just its leader Kinchev
. - Culture Clash: Phil is sceptical at first when his patient mentions that he is a captain of the Russian's national baseball league, but once the guy proves that he's at least familiar with terminology, Phil asks him why he's not in the VIP ward, being a sport star and all, and then misses the obvious sarcasm and rushes to Bykov. What Phil is unaware of (at least until the end of the episode) is that in Russia, hardly anyone is interested in baseball at all, whether on professional or amateur level.
- Exact Words: How those goons gets convinced to leave Kurishev alone — Rita tells them that Kurishev just jumped out of the window; technically correct, she only omitted the fact that he survived.
- Failure Is the Only Option: Semyon spends a full day trying to call internet provider's technical support about internet stopping working — only to be interrupted every time by something before managing to deal with the problem. In the end, Olga becomes angry at him for "doing nothing". For extra humiliation, Olga then tries herself, and succeeds immediately.
- Hypocritical Humor: Bykov forcefully hangs Semyon's phone when Semyon tries to call technical support for making calls unrelated to work... and then immediately calls pizza delivery service.
- Properly Paranoid: Another Phil's patient, called Kurishev, is in debt to the very dangerous people, and now fears even his shadow. He even mistakes the orderlies for his creditor's goons. He keeps calling on Rita's post, asking for food, locking his ward, or to bring urinal right there, cause he's too afraid to leave to use toilet. When he sees a black jeep ("obviously" from his creditors), Rita just sedates him. Then he sees Gleb and Semyon, dressed in black and carrying baseball bats, and jumps out of the window, which injures him. By that point, it's easy to believe that the "goons" don't exist, but they indeed shows up in the end — with Rita telling them that Kurishev had jumped out of the window, which convinces them to leave, believing that they've failed their task.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Bykov agrees to babysit a little girl Masha, so Kisegach would believe that he is not a Child Hater — and asks girl's mother to compliment him before Kisegach. Unfortunately, Kisegach immediately realises that something must be wrong because she knows that he is a Child Hater; he would only agree to babysit a child as a part of the larger scheme.
- Out of Focus: Besides having several minor appearances here and there, Gleb has no his own plot in this episode.
- Real After All: Kurishev's creditor's goons actually shows up in the very end. They gets told that Kurishev just jumped out of window, and leaves.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: Bykov finds Masha playing a weird "game" with her dolls, which involves "smart doctor" yelling on a "dumb doctor", so he would become smart too. Bykov realises that they have much in common, and allows her to order his interns around. She later acts in a manner similar to Bykov's.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Not only Bykov deleted his daughter Alisa's number from his phone, he did so in order to make place for a pizza deliver service's number, stating that if she needs something, she can call him herself. Kisegach calls him a terrible father for this, particularly because he is also a future father for her own baby. She then follows into calling him out on driving one of their friend's kid to tears (Bykov told him that he would never become a cosmonaut, due to having "wrong-shaped head" which wouldn't fit into a helmet), and finally accuses him of not liking children in general.
