Turns out what Katia isn't even a prostitute; she is a journalist. She hides this because her profession has almost as bad reputation as actual prostitutes (and many don't see much difference between the two), and only reveals this now because she trusts Phil. Phil tells Timur and Polina that he knows about Katia's profession -- which highly surprises them both, as they still believes that she's a hooker. They starts openly insulting Katia in front of Phil, with Polina outright calling her her a prostitute. Phil remembers his morning discussion with Katia, and accuses them of being prejudiced towards journalists. It's when they explains how they originally met her; Phil gets so shocked by sheer idiocy of the situation, it takes him some time to pronounce anything comprehensive in ''any'' of the two languages. Now, he wants nothing to do with either of them. It seems that now he would dump Katia, too, but suddenly Phil decides to call her, and learn wether she's actually a hooker or not, to close that topic once and for all. Phil invites everyone involved, to discuss the situation. To everyone's surprise, Katia still insists that she's a journalist, saying that she merely pretended to be a hooker to gather material for a new article; it was literally first time when she received any "order". She ''actually'' likes Phil, that's why she had sex with him, as for money, it was required to maintain her cover. Polina is almost ready to believe, but Timur presses further. Katia realises that she's out of arguments, and leaves. Only when she leaves, Phil notices that Katia forgot her documents, and sees that she's ''indeed'' a journalist. Fortunately, he manages to catch up with her, and apologise.

Kisegach is still angry after Bykov's last prank -- and for him always playing his games instead of paying attention to her. Bykov says that he would do "everything" to earn her forgiveness -- and she sends him to psychologist, which he takes as some unfunny joke on him. But Kisegach thinks that this is the only chance to change Bykov for the better, and she ''would'' take it. On seance of psychotherapy, Kisegach talks about all the problems she has with Bykov not paying any attention to what's going on, and making little efforts to improve the situation, while Bykov... plays his phone. When Kisegach briefly leaves, Bykov reveals that he recognises the psychologist as a fellow gamer, and the two quickly becomes friends. When Kisegach returns, the psychologist tells her that they would need several individual sessions with Bykov -- which, unknowingly to her, is just an excuse to give Bykov some privacy to play with his new friend. The first such session is scheduled for today. In the middle of the night, Kisegach realises that Bykov is still not at home, and calls him; he lies about the "therapy"... but forgets to turn off his phone afterwards, resulting in Kisegach hearing him playing.

Both Sophia and Lyuba thinks that their sexual life became much, much better recently; meanwhile, Gleb and Kupitman both feels extremely exhausted after attempts to maintain this temp. Kupitman takes it especially hard, looking clearly unhealthy; he insists that this's completely unrelated to alcohol, this time. Later, Kupitman, still looking not that well, asks Lyuba wether they may skip this day's "night of love", on which she agrees. But when she asks him wether he's "tired", Kupitman suddenly insists that everything would happen anyway. To not let Lyuba down, Kupitman needs viagra, but literally every time he tries to buy it, someone whom he knows shows up; he gives up, and sends Gleb instead, ignoring Gleb's advice to just skip the day and rest. Unfortunately, the combination of bad health, viagra and sex causes Kupitman a heart attack, nearly killing him and forcing Lyuba to call for ambulance. Since Bykov has no idea what caused Kupitman's condition (and neither is Lyuba), Gleb reveals that it was caused by viagra -- and why Kupitman took it. Bykov can't resist to go to Lyuba and give her his best smug smile: yes, he now ''knows'' their secret!

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Just after angering Phil with revelation she and Timur have they fooled him into dating a prostitute, [[OpenMouthInsertFoot Polina]] tries to bring up his [[HasTwoDaddies parents]] as being "weird, too". Phil just rudely interrupts her and tells her to shut up.
* DirtyHarriet: Katia (a journalist) went undercover as a hooker, so she may learn more about Moscow prostitutes for her new article (they aren't exactly very talkative to outsiders). When asked what was her plan in case someone actually tries to have sex with her, she reveals that she has a shocker, a pepper spray and a switchblade.
* TheDogBitesBack: Kupitman not only ignores Gleb's (rather reasonable) advices, but also insults him. Then he sends him to buy viagra, because he prefers people he meets on everyday basis to not witnessing him doing this. Gleb does that... and then, on question wether he needs something else, replied that "nope, Kupitman asked only for viagra".

Turns out what Katia isn't even prostitute; she is journalist. She hides this because her profession has almost as bad reputation as actual prostitutes (and many actually consider them being ones), and only revealed this because she trusts Phil.

Kisegach is still angry after Bykov's last prank -- and for him always playing his games instead of noticing her. Bykov says what he would do "everything" to earn her forgiveness -- and she sent him to psychologist, which he considered some unfunny joke on him. But Kisegach thinks this is the only way to change Bykov for the better, and she ''would'' take it.

Both Sophia and Lyuba think what their sexual life became much, much better recently; meanwhile, Gleb and Kupitman feel extremely exhausted after attempts to maintain this temp. Kupitman takes it especially hard, looking clearly unhealthy; he insists this's completely unrelated to alcohol, this time.

Phil tells Timur and Polina what he knows about Katia's profession -- and highly surprised them both, since they still think she's prostitute. They start openly insulting Katia in front of Phil, with Polina actually calling her prostitute. Phil remembered his morning discussion with Katia and accused them of being prejudiced to journalists.

On seance of psychotherapy, Kisegach talks about all the problems she has with Bykov not paying any attention to what's going on, and making little efforts to improve any problems, while Bykov... plays in his phone.

After Timur and Polina finally explained the whole plan, Phil was so shocked by sheer idiocy of situation, it took him some time to pronounce anything comprehensive on ''any'' of the two languages. Now, he wants nothing to do with either one of them. It seems what now he would dump Katia, too -- but suddenly Phil decided to call her, so they may find out wether she's prostitute or not, and end close this question for good.

Kupitman, still looking not exactly good, asks Lyuba wether they may skip this day's "night of love", on which she agrees, but Kupitman, when heard her presuming what he's "tired", suddenly insisted what everything would happen anyway.

After Kisegach briefly leaved Bykov alone with their psychologist, Bykov revealed what he knows what this guy is fellow gamer, after which they quickly befriended each other.

To not let down Lyuba, Kupitman needs viagra, but because literally every time he tries to buy it, someone familiar shows up, he gave up and sent Gleb instead. He ignored Gleb's advice to just skip the day for rest.

Psychologist told Kisegach what they would need several individual sessions with Bykov. Unknowingly to Kisegach, this means what Bykov would just have some privacy to play with his new gamer friend. First one would be today.

Phil invited everyone involved in this story, so they may discuss the problem. To everyone's surprise, Katia still insists she's a journalist: she only pretends to be a prostitute to collect materials for her new article. Phil was literally her very first "order". She prepared to fight back if someone would try and force to to finish "the order", by bringing with herself shocker, pepper spray and switchblade. With Phil... well, she already said: she actually liked him. Money? She was forced to accept them -- or break her cover story. Polina almost believed at this point, but Timur is still sceptical. Phil then brought up that time when she received a call, and leaved: who it was? That was ''really'' her father, who needed her help. Polina at this point lost a thread of logic and gave up, but Timur ''still'' stubbornly refuses to believe. Katia realised she lost all her arguments, and said goodbye. And then, after she already left, Phil realised what Katia lost her documents, proving what yes, she's journalist. He rushed to catch up with Katia before she leaved. Fortunately, he managed to apologise afterwards.

Kupitman, in his attempts to please Lyuba, only nearly killed himself: combination of already bad health, viagra and sex caused heart attack. Fortunately, they managed to reach hospital in time. Since Bykov has no idea what caused Kupitman's condition (and neither is Lyuba), Gleb informed him about Kupitman asking him for viagra. And ''why'' he took it. Bykov couldn't resist to go to Lyuba and give her his best smug smile: yes, he now ''knows'' their secret!

In the middle of the night, Kisegach realised what Bykov isn't home, and called him. He lied about "therapy"... but forgot to turn off his phone afterwards, resulting in Kisegach hearing him playing. Oops...
