Gleb is sure that Polina can't possibly have any social life due to being just that bad with people (he even has a bet with Semyon), and speculates that she may still be a virgin. Polina, who overhears the whole discussion, states that she has two boyfriends, and she would prove it. Rita is sceptical at first, but then suggests an option: one of Polina's boyfriends must visit her after work, with flowers, so Gleb would see this by himself. Polina wants to invite Vadik, a nerdy video game tester, but Rita immediately points that Gleb would likely mock her even more if he learns about him. Polina decides to call another one, karateist Valera... but he turns out to be too busy, while situation becomes progressively more awkward. Polina tries to call Vadik instead of Valera, but Valera suddenly cancels his training session and becomes available, so she can call off Vadik (who's still angry for being called off the first time). Gleb now doubts whether Valera and Vadik even exists, and, if yes, whether they're actually boyfriends and not brothers or neighbours. Ultimately, they both arrives, and, after seeing each other, both dumps Polina on the spot, making her situation even more humiliating than if she didn't bother.
Phil avoids the hospital's dining room due to their cook (a fat woman twice his age) who "flirts" with him by offering him food, again and again, so he now fears her. Of course, Gleb and Semyon, once learns about it, starts mocking him. They then finds that "admirer" and lies to her that she accidentally poisoned Phil, so she decides to cook something more "safe", and personally gifts food to him. Phil clumsily tries to get rid of her in "delicate" manner, but it accidentally results in him saying something which sounds like invitation on a date — with cook agreeing. When Phil shows up, she starts aggressively flirting with him, forcing him to use the last option he has left: pretend to be gay. Unfortunately, now he feels remorse... as that excuse feels like he had betrayed his fathers.
Kupitman is unusually clean and sober, and Bykov just knows: there must be something wrong with this whole situation. And surely, it quickly turns out that Kisegach organised a presentation of their new MRT (a gift from sponsors), and invited Kupitman to represent them instead of Bykov, knowing how Bykov usually reacts to their sponsors. Now, Kisegach must ensure that Bykov certainly wouldn't attend that presentation... because their sponsor is no one else but Kisegan's ex, Anton Yaroslavsky, whom Bykov openly hates. Kupitman tries to convince Bykov that there's no reason for him to visit that presentation... but does that in so clumsy way, Bykov decides that he would certainly go there and see what they're hiding. But when he actually goes there, rather than making a scene, he gives almost adequate, if only a bit short, speech, and quietly leaves. After presentation, Yaroslavsky calls Bykov out on his jerk attitude and states that he merely exploits Anastasia's love for him, but doesn't love her in return; Bykov is merely "a problem" for all of them. Anton gave the hospital those gifts out of pity for Kisegach, who ruins her life by staying with someone like Bykov. Bykov reacts surprisingly well to seeing Anton here; there's no hate left for him, and if they can fool him to give something for free, why stop at just one MRT? Let's pretend that Bykov is domestic abuser and receive free renovation. This silly sense of humour proves to Kisegach that things really have returned to normal.
This episode provides examples of:
- Abhorrent Admirer: Phil avoids hospital's dining room due to their cook (a fat woman twice his age), who "flirts" with him by offering him food, again and again, so he now fears her. Of course, Gleb and Semyon, once learns about it, starts mocking him for that.
- Bait-and-Switch: After getting rid of his Abhorrent Admirer via Sorry, I'm Gay excuse, Phil feels remorse... not for lying to her, but for lying about being gay, cause it "betrays" his (actually gay) fathers.
- Berserk Button: Defied. Kisegach knows how Bykov would react to their sponsors, and doesn't invite him on a new MRT presentation (instead inviting Kupitman, who cleaned himself up for occasion), so it would go without issues. Bykov admits that she has a point, but he still feels insulted, as she didn't even warn him. What Kisegach doesn't mention is that said sponsor is no one else but Anton Yaroslavsky, which would make the bad situation even worse.
- The Bus Came Back: Anton Yaroslavsky, who parted ways with Kisegach in season 5, briefly returns as the hospital's new sponsor. This is one of the reasons Kisegach wants to keep Bykov away from the presentation.
- Character Development: Had this episode occurred back in season 5, Bykov likely would've sabotaged the presentation just to spite Kisegach for inviting Yaroslavsky. But now, Bykov realises two things: firstly, Yaroslavsky is no longer dangerous for them, with any love Anastasia had for him long gone, while her love for Bykov is healthy and stable; secondly, the hospital's needs are more important than him showing character. He's more offended by luck of trust (she didn't warn him) than presentation itself.
- I'm Standing Right Here: Gleb discusses Polina's total lack of social skills (which, as he thinks, results in her being unable to start relationship and quite possibly still being a virgin) with Semyon and Phil... only for Polina to overhear everything. She is not amused.
- No Social Skills: Gleb states that Polina's social skills are so bad, she's quite possibly still a virgin, due to being totally unable to even start relationship. He even has a bet with Semyon about it.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Kisegach barely manages to hide her fear (with very noticeable pause in her speech) when she notices Bykov amongst the visitors of the presentation — from which she tried so hard to keep him away, due to the presence of Anton Yaroslavsky. She then gives word to Kupitman, who notices Bykov too and has the same reaction (he clumsily covers it by coughing). Fortunately, Bykov, instead of making a scene, gives (almost) adequate speech and leaves, keeping all his frustration until after they receives that much-needed MRT.
- Polina panics when she realises that both Vadik and Valera showed up, meaning they inevitably would learn about each other; this ends just as she feared, and they both dumps her.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Bykov instantly realises that there must be some reason why Kupitman came at work clean, sober and well-dressed. He turns out to be right; Kupitman was ordered to show up this way for one important presentation — to replace Bykov, whom Kisegach can't allow anywhere near it.
- Out of Focus: Semyon has no significant role in this episode; he merely sticks around with Gleb, mocking Polina with him and participating in Gleb's prank on Phil.
- Poor Communication Kills:
- Due to specific wording Phil used, that cook interprets his words as him inviting her on a date (while he simply wanted to return the used dishes on the evening). As result, she starts very aggressively flirting with him when he shows up, while it takes some time for Phil to realise just what's going on.
- Due to Polina not being able to decide just whom from her boyfriends she wants to invite, and constantly changing her mind, they both shows up, learns about each other and dumps Polina on the spot.
- Pyrrhic Victory: Polina's attempts to prove to Gleb that she has a boyfriend (two, actually) results in those two boyfriends learning about each other (because she keeps inviting one and calling off another, only to switch them because Valera has some force-major situation) and both dumping her, right in front of Gleb (whose mockery of her was the reason why she organised this in the first place). While she did prove her point, it certainly was not what she intended, and likely gave Gleb another excuse to mock her.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After presentation, Yaroslavsky tells Bykov just what he really thinks of him, calls him "a problem for all of us" and tells him that Bykov just exploits Anastasia's love for him, but doesn't love her in return. Bykov doesn't take him seriously, thinking that it's just the loser trying to spite him.
- Revealing Cover-Up: Kupitman tries so hard to make Bykov disinterested in this presentation that Bykov (who was not interested in it to begin with) decides to show up after all, just to see what he's trying to hide.
- Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Attempts to distract Bykov from the presentations only makes him interested in attending it, just to see what Kupitman is trying to hide from him; until then, he had literally zero interest in it.
- Sorry, I'm Gay: Phil pretends to be gay in order to get rid of his fat cook admirer. Now he feels remorse... due to "betraying" his fathers with "I'm gay" excuse, not rudely rejecting the girl. Gleb (who actually congratulates him on his savviness) states that he used the same trick before at several occasions.
- Stereotypical Nerd: Vadik, one of Polina's (two) boyfriends, is a classical nerd (by Russian standards). He is a video games tester with geeky look and is no less awkward than Polina herself. As Rita points out, presenting Vadik as Polina's boyfriend would make Gleb mock her even more than if she just gives up and accepts defeat.
- Troll: When Gleb and Semyon learns about Phil's fat cook admirer, they simply can't resist the urge to mock him over it, throughout the whole episode.Gleb: One hundred kilograms of happiness.
