Kisegach awakes at Victor's house. She's not in condition to work, but Victor suggests her to take a day off, and drop everything on her new deputy, Gleb -- it's his chance to prove himself. Bykov, smiling, goes towards Kisegach's office, ready to celebrate them finally coming along, only to see Gleb in her chair. And worse, Gleb announces that he's now Kisegach's deputy -- which means, in her absence he's in charge. When he asks what Bykov needs, Bykov just throws at him the pack of chocolate which he prepared for Anastasia, and leaves. Bykov thinks that Gleb was installed just to spite him, and that he's not gonna stay for long -- only till Kisegach calms down. Until then, since ''actual'' boss isn't here, he and Kupitman may just spend time together, drinking cognac.
In his absence, Bykov leaves Levin in charge, who assigns the patients to Polina and Alexei, while Semyon insists that since he celebrated his father-in-law's jubilee yesterday, he can't work until he cures his hangover, and leaves without taking any patient. Alexei gets told that he's dressed inappropriately; Levin means his black skulls-decorated bracelet, but doesn't tell so directly, thinking that Lyosha would understand on his own. Alexei can't understand just ''what'' he did wrong, and assumes that Levin is talking about his coat. He removes it, and Rita thinks that Levin is about Lyosha's t-shirt with beer-themed print. Levin does like him changing t-shirt, but only due to the humour being immature; the ''real'' problem is still not fixed! He also attacks Polina over "mistakes in the diagnosis", without telling that he's referring to her spelling. Alexei tries other options, but neither satisfies Levin; it's not his shoes being dirty (though Levin likes him cleaning them), nor his nails being long, nor his belt "mismatching" his shoes (there's no such rule to begin with!). Rita tries to put a medical hat on Lyosha, but that doesn't work either (and Levin doesn't see it as all that important).
Polina has no much success either, as even after her redoing all the work, Levin finds "mistakes", and refuses without explanation. Polina complains to Phil, who volunteers to double-check everything. They then goes to Levin to force him into telling directly, and he finally reveals that it's about Polina spelling her diagnosis wrong; when he disagrees on being called on weird priorities, Polina just calls him a moron, and leaves with Phil. Then Alexei comes in; Rita, after observing Levin's strict commanding over other workers, just dresses Lyosha as Levin's double, complete with glasses, arrogant gaze and unpleasant voice, expecting that he wouldn't criticise himself. Levin just gives up and lets Alexei to go working, which Alexei takes as the sign of Rita being right; and that's when he ''finally'' reveals that it was all about that bracelet.
Victor's surprise is a spa-salon; when she says that she must be ready to go to the hospital if Gleb runs into problems, he calms her down and says that they are in ten minutes away from it if something happens, and she can afford to just relax and dedicate some time to herself -- when was the last time she was able to do that? Bykov insists that things are under control; whiles he's angry at Kisegach for letting Victor to manipulate her into setting Gleb as her deputy, he still believes that things aren't gonna go past that. He only tries to call Kisegach when Kupitman asks him wether he knows ''where'' she spends her day off. But Anastasia (who's still in spa salon) refuses to reply, and forbids Victor from doing it on her regard, saying that she would call Bykov later. Bykov gets angry and throws his phone out of the window. When asked what the hell it was, he answers that it's him resisting manipulations -- lets Anastasia would worry and try to contact him (in vain), no the other way around; as for the phone, well, Bykov grew tired of it anyway. Meanwhile, Lobanov goes to Gleb to celebrate Gleb's new position -- with booze. But Gleb decides that he can't let his mother down, and politely refuses, stating that he has a task to do, so they must call it off for now; when Semyon insists, Gleb tells him that he's asking as his friend -- and ''ordering'' as his boss.
Gleb gets called by Vera about the papers (they have some mistakes in them). When Gleb asks what kind of mistakes, she replies that usually it's Kisegach who deals with them, and asks wether they should call. Gleb, knowing that doing so would mean his failure as a deputy, insists on checking everything himself. Gleb can't understand those papers, so he tries to ask Kupitman, but sees him drinking with Bykov. Gleb tries to blackmail them, and they pretends to submit, only to grab him, and force to sign up a document which would allow them to take three days off to go fishing. After failing to figure out what to do with those papers, Gleb just writes that he "dealt with the mistakes", and sends the papers with Vera. Meanwhile, Kisegach fails to contact Bykov, and starts worrying. She angrily asks Lyuba where is Bykov (whom she can't contact), and learns that ''she'' supposedly gave him three days off (in the middle of the week). And then she learns that her son fell ill... and father is nowhere in sight. But Victor, when he hears about it, arrives to help.

Kisegach awakes at Victor's house. She's not in condition to work, but Victor suggests her to take a day off, and drop everything on her new deputy, Gleb -- it's his chance to prove himself. Bykov, smiling, goes towards Kisegach's office, ready to celebrate them finally coming along, only to see Gleb in her chair. And worse, Gleb announces that he's now Kisegach's deputy -- which means, in her absence he's in charge. When he asks what Bykov needs, Bykov just throws at him the pack of chocolate which he prepared for Anastasia, and leaves. Bykov thinks that Gleb was installed just to spite him, and that he's not gonna stay for long -- only till Kisegach calms down. Until then, since ''actual'' boss isn't here, he and Kupitman may just spend time together, drinking cognac.
In his absence, Bykov leaves Levin in charge, who assigns the patients to Polina and Alexei, while Semyon insists that since he celebrated his father-in-law's jubilee yesterday, he can't work until he cures his hangover, and leaves without taking any patient. Alexei gets told that he's dressed inappropriately; Levin means his black skulls-decorated bracelet, but doesn't tell so directly, thinking that Lyosha would understand on his own. Alexei can't understand just ''what'' he did wrong, and assumes that Levin is talking about his coat. He removes it, and Rita thinks that Levin is about Lyosha's t-shirt with beer-themed print. Levin does like him changing t-shirt, but only due to the humour being immature; the ''real'' problem is still not fixed! He also attacks Polina over "mistakes in the diagnosis", without telling that he's referring to her spelling. Alexei tries other options, but neither satisfies Levin; it's not his shoes being dirty (though Levin likes him cleaning them), nor his nails being long, nor his belt "mismatching" his shoes (there's no such rule to begin with!). Rita tries to put a medical hat on Lyosha, but that doesn't work either (and Levin doesn't see it as all that important).
Polina has no much success either, as even after her redoing all the work, Levin finds "mistakes", and refuses without explanation. Polina complains to Phil, who volunteers to double-check everything. They then goes to Levin to force him into telling directly, and he finally reveals that it's about Polina spelling her diagnosis wrong; when he disagrees on being called on weird priorities, Polina just calls him a moron, and leaves with Phil. Then Alexei comes in; Rita, after observing Levin's strict commanding over other workers, just dresses Lyosha as Levin's double, complete with glasses, arrogant gaze and unpleasant voice, expecting that he wouldn't criticise himself. Levin just gives up and lets Alexei to go working, which Alexei takes as the sign of Rita being right; and that's when he ''finally'' reveals that it was all about that bracelet.
Victor's surprise is a spa-salon; when she says that she must be ready to go to the hospital if Gleb runs into problems, he calms her down and says that they are in ten minutes away from it if something happens, and she can afford to just relax and dedicate some time to herself -- when was the last time she was able to do that? Bykov insists that things are under control; whiles he's angry at Kisegach for letting Victor to manipulate her into setting Gleb as her deputy, he still believes that things aren't gonna go past that. He only tries to call Kisegach when Kupitman asks him wether he knows ''where'' she spends her day off. But Anastasia (who's still in spa salon) refuses to reply, and forbids Victor from doing it on her regard, saying that she would call Bykov later. Bykov gets angry and throws his phone out of the window. When asked what the hell it was, he answers that it's him resisting manipulations -- lets Anastasia would worry and try to contact him (in vain), no the other way around; as for the phone, well, Bykov grew tired of it anyway. Meanwhile, Lobanov goes to Gleb to celebrate Gleb's new position -- with booze. But Gleb decides that he can't let his mother down, and politely refuses, stating that he has a task to do, so they must call it off for now; when Semyon insists, Gleb tells him that he's asking as his friend -- and ''ordering'' as his boss.
Gleb gets called by Vera about the papers (they have some mistakes in them). When Gleb asks what kind of mistakes, she replies that usually it's Kisegach who deals with them, and asks wether they should call. Gleb, knowing that doing so would mean his failure as a deputy, insists on checking everything himself. Gleb can't understand those papers, so he tries to ask Kupitman, but sees him drinking with Bykov. Gleb tries to blackmail them, and they pretends to submit, only to grab him, and force to sign up a document which would allow them to take three days off to go fishing. After failing to figure out what to do with those papers, Gleb just writes that he "dealt with the mistakes", and sends the papers with Vera. Meanwhile, Kisegach fails to contact Bykov, and starts worrying. She angrily asks Lyuba where is Bykov (whom she can't contact), and learns that ''she'' supposedly gave him three days off (in the middle of the week). And then she learns that her son fell ill... and father is nowhere in sight. But Victor, when he hears about it, arrives to help.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* BlackmailBackfire: Gleb tries to blackmail Kupitman and Bykov into helping him with documents. They pretends to submit, only to grab him and force to sign the document which allows them to take three days off.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Levin (Bykov's deputy) gets confronted by Phil (Kupitman's deputy), who starts sarcastically calling him out on his past screwups -- only for Levin to rather arrogantly dismiss him, saying that he's busy working, commanding the Therapy. When Phil points that he's working too, commanding Venereology, Levin insults his specialisation as "not true science", which leads the two into open fight, forcing Gleb (Kisegach's deputy) to stop them. Just to nail it, Lobanov remembers the similar situation which he witnessed, involving Bykov and Kupitman going into conflict, but stopped by Kisegach. Ultimately, he gets fed up and stops them, flat-out {{lampshading}} the similarities, saying that the roles are the same, only the actors have changed.
* IfOnlyYouKnew: Kisegach asks Gleb just ''how'' he dealt with all those papers in one day without knowing anything -- just wrote on them with a red marker "everything was done"? Unknowingly to her, it's exactly what he did.
* ImagineSpot: Gleb sees the visions about Kisegach angrily entering the office to calling him out on letting her down, at several occasions:
** Gleb prepares to drink with Lobanov in his mother's office, only for Kisegach to rush in and kick him out, as he just proved himself to be unworthy of that trust. Then it turns out that it was just Gleb imagining what's gonna happen, after which he decides not to do that.
** Gleb gets informed about the mistakes in the documents, and Vera asks wether to call Kisegach, who normally deals with them. Gleb imagines how she's gonna call him out on giving up on the first sign of problems, and insists on checking everything by himself.
** It gets {{Subverted|Trope}} the third time. While it's set up like the first two scenes, when Gleb just writes with red marker over papers that he fixed all mistakes and sends the papers as is, it's expected that Kisegach would enter to kick him out, like the first two times, only for it to be revealed as Gleb's imagination. But it isn't; Gleb actually did that for real. Funnily, later Kisegach ''does'' angrily enter the office, though Gleb gets saved by his decision actually working.
* IsThisThingStillOn: When Lobanov goes to Kisegach's (now Gleb's) office and mockingly formally addresses him as Gleb Victorovich (Gleb replies in kind), Vera (who can still hear them over telephone) can be heard calling their childish behaviour "kindergarten". Gleb just hangs off.
* MeetTheNewBoss: Levin exploits his new position as Bykov's deputy to go around screaming on people and calling them out on being "unprofessional". And then there's his treatment of Alexei and Polina.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Levin, towards both Alexei and Polina; his inability to explain just ''what'' he means, expecting them to figure out on their own, causes them to waste entire day without any meaningful progress. In Polina's case, she has ''an actual'' patient, with ''heart problems''.
** Levin doesn't bother with telling Alexei that the problem is in his bracelet (it has skulls on it -- not the best thing to bring into hospital); instead, he just tells him that the problem is with his clothes, and that "he knows what it is"; he refuses to give even hints, even after being asked about them. As result, Lyosha suspects ''anything but'' the bracelet. In the end, Levin tells about it himself, just because he gets tired himself.
** Levin just tells Polina that [[ExactWords she has a mistake in diagnosis]]. He never tells her that the mistake was in ''spelling'' until confronted, and even then refuses to accept that he's at fault.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Lobanov (half-jokingly) says that with Gleb as new boss, he may stop pretending that he's working here altogether, only coming to receive salary.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Victor thinks that the best way to test wether Gleb fits for his new position is to just dump it on him and see what happens. He actually brings in the "sink or swim" comparison, stating that it's how people should be taught things: they wouldn't grow up without challenges.
* SkewedPriorities: Levin is more concerned with Polina's ''spelling'' than, you know, using her time for things like ''treating patients''. Both Polina and Phil calls him out on this.
* TheSlacker:
** Both Bykov and Kupitman decides to do nothing, as the one in charge -- Gleb -- has no authority to punish them. When he tries to blackmail them, they outright forces him to sign up a document which allows them to take three days off and run away.
** Lobanov [[RefugeInAudacity outright tells]] Levin that since he was drinking yesterday, he's not gonna work until he deals with hangover, and leaves without receiving any patient from him.
