Phil prepares breakfast for both himself and Polina: they would share it, while grieving over their ruined relationships (he already asked both Bykov and Kupitman to give them a leave). But Polina thinks that there's nothing to grieve about: Timur was a lying asshole, and Katia was a cheating bitch, so they should be ''happy'' due to throwing them out of their lives. Phil agrees with her. And since this is ''celebration'' (some sort of "deliverance" day, which they may even make annual), they should obtain something stronger than merely tea. Unfortunately, they have nothing to "celebrate" it with: they just run out of booze. But Polina only takes it as sign that they should go outside and start the ''real'' fun. The two are happily spending time together; as they're free during usual working hours, they have a whole amusement park and empty cinema at their disposal. But then Polina receives a message from Timur: he's so desperate without her, he wants to kill himself. Bastard he is, even Timur doesn't deserve death, so the two rushes to stop him. Unfortunately, no one knows where he is, and Timur's phone went silent. Then Polina remembers that since it's Wednesday, Timur should be visited by his maid. But when Polina calls her, she learns that Timur has warned her yesterday that he "no longer needs her services". They arrives at Timur's house; Polina is already imagining the worst... and then they sees Timur, perfectly fine, dressed for vacation. When asked what's going on, he tries to say that he just waited for Polina, but then another girl shows up and starts asking Timur go, or they would be late. Timur tries to come up with another lie, "explaining" that he planned a vacation in Mexico to calm down after breakup, but is ready to stay if Polina wishes so. And he ''certainly'' doesn't know that girl! Polina tells him one thing -- to go Mexico, and never return. Phil and Polina returns home and continue spending time together, this time to play ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' while imagining their characters as Timur and Katia.
Lobanov receives new patient right in the same ward with his old one (Bykov noticed that he is suspiciously slow with moving between wards). Gleb asks to give that patient to him, but Semyon refuses. When asked why he is so interested, Gleb reveals that this new "patient" isn't even patient at all -- she is his new lover, Irina, whom he smuggled into the hospital, so they may continue lovemaking even here. But he has a plan "B": Semyon may just falsify diagnosis (Irina would play along), and go home after doing his job, leaving Gleb and Irina alone in the hospital. To not attract Bykov's attention, Gleb would ask Kisegach for a VIP ward -- Bykov hates VIP patients and wouldn't go near them unless provoked. But the plan fails, cause the ward was taken by some deputy with kidney problems. Gleb decides to try another way: somehow move the second patient, old granny, out of the ward. For now, Semyon sent her to make ultrasound, but it only bought them an hour at best. Then Bykov indeed shows up to check up Semyon's patients. While he manages to explain why neither of them is in the ward, Bykov takes offence to Semyon himself standing here doing nothing, and takes him away to clean up on-call room. As result, the granny returns and busts Gleb making love with Irina. Instead of confronting them, she angrily goes to Bykov. But she didn't see the faces, and it takes her long enough for Irina to dress up and Gleb hide under bed, so Bykov can't prosecute anyone. Lobanov then lies to Bykov that the granny is likely insane, as she "sees things which don't exists". But this makes Bykov angry ''at him'' for taking so long to inform about patient's condition worsening, and now Lobanov must examine her to decide wether she should be moved to psychiatrist. Now, Semyon wants Gleb to stay away from the ward, or next time they wouldn't be so lucky. Semyon tries to convince the patient that what she'd seen was ''really'' just hallucinations... and then they runs into Gleb and Irina making love in one of the technical rooms. Not waiting till the granny recognises Irina, Semyon yells on her that it's "another hallucination", and walks her away. Bykov gets even angrier by Semyon still doing nothing about his patient's worsening conditions, and orders to prepare for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging MRI]]. It obviously shows nothing... and then Gleb and Irina gets busted by both the granny and Bykov. When yelled by Bykov, Gleb just tells him that he doesn't care, even if Bykov would fire him, and leaves. Bykov sees such indifference as a very bad sign.
Levin tries to mend relationship with Lyuba, and gifts her flowers -- but she angrily tells him that she wants nothing to do with him after he treated her like dirt when she visited him in USA, charging her for anything and everything (he even agreed to pay for return ticket only as loan, when she run out of money thanks to him). He tried to argue that "it's how things gets done in USA", but it only makes her even angrier. Kupitman overlooks them talking, but without being able to hear them, mistakes it for Lyuba reciprocating. Especially since Lyuba accepted flowers (since Levin pressed too hard). After talk with Lyuba went to nowhere (she refuses to admit that she wouldn't be home today because of Levin, stating a "fake" reason about visiting her sister to take self-collected mushrooms from her), Kupitman accidentally overhears Levin discussing with Gleb how he should invite a "grown up woman" in a restaurant, unaware that Levin is referring to ''his mother''. At restaurant, when Levin's mother briefly leaves, Kupitman shows up to confront Levin, and angrily tells him that he should never, ''ever'' stand between ''them'', because after her betrayed ''her'', he'd lost the right to be with her. ''She'' belongs to Kupitman, and no one else! Levin, thinking that Kupitman refers to his mother, asks for explanation, but gets angrily told to shut up. Before leaving, Kupitman drops some money, so Levin may at least afford the "adequate dinner" for ''her'', like ''she'' deserves. When Kupitman leaves, Levin tells his mother that they should have a serious talk. Kupitman returns home -- and realises that what Lyuba ''indeed'' was at her sister (and prepared a great dinner for her man). Their talk gets interrupted by a call from angry Levin, who just ruined standings with his mother even further, to the point that she kicked him out of her house, but Kupitman hangs up, explaining to Lyuba that it was "nothing".

!! This episode provides examples of:
* BlatantLies: When busted by Polina (after sending fake suicide note to her), ready for vacation, with some other girl who asks him to go faster, or they would be late, Timur accepts the part about vacation, but tries to claim that it was his attempt to distract from breakup, but if Polina wishes, he may stay here, with her (and he ''certainly'' doesn't know that other girl!). Naturally, she doesn't buy any of this, and tells him to go screw himself.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Timur just ''had'' to plan that vacation with the other girl as a plan "B" on the same day he tried to win Polina back (plan "A"), didn't he? Now, he'd lost Polina for real, and quite likely would lose the other girl, too, because who likes being someone's plan "B"?
* DrivenToSuicide: Polina finds Timur's suicide note... but turns out that [[SubvertedTrope he lied about it]] as the last ditch attempt to make her return to him. The plan fails miserably.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Semyon lies to his old patient that she sees hallucinations both times when she busts Gleb and Irina having sex; as result, she starts thinking that she's losing her mind. It doesn't work the third time, because this time this happens in Bykov's presence.
* GoryDiscretionShot: All Timur's suicide attempts which Polina imagines happens offscreen, without details being visible; first one involves him electrocuting himself via toaster in his bathroom (with only his hand being visible when the death occurs), in the second, he shoots himself (with only blood spilling on the curtain being visible), and in the third one, he hangs himself (with only legs being visible).
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Lyuba's attempt to reunite with Levin has failed due to Levin once again botching everything, by forcing her to pay for everything from her own (limited) money. Firstly, it was ''him'' who invited her, not the other way around, so it makes him bad host. Secondly, it was explicitly the attempt to mend their relationship, so he was supposed to please her (especially since original breakup was his fault). Thirdly, while it's ''acceptable'' for both sides to pay for themselves, a gentlemen would at least ''offer'' his help (and in Russia, doing so is expected norm); him being a gentleman was one of the major reasons why Lyuba even fell in love with him originally.
* ManipulativeBastard: Probably to make sure that viewers wouldn't try to defend Timur, and would agree with Polina dumping him, Timur shows up one last time, trying to win Polina's attention... through ''fake suicide note''. And when Polina arrives, hoping to prevent his suicide (he may be full of crap, but not to the a degree that she would wish him death!)... she busts him preparing to leave on vacation with his new girlfriend. He [[BlatantLies tries to "explain" the situation]], but after everything he has zero chances for her actually believing.
* NeverMyFault: Even now, Levin fails to see why Lyuba is angry at him, still believing that he did everything right.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Due to being able to only see Lyuba and Levin, not hear them, Kupitman mistakes her discussion with Levin for her reciprocating to his flirting. In fact, she angrily told him to go screw himself, because she still hates him.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Right after he saw Levin talking with Lyuba (which [[NotWhatItLooksLike looked suspiciously like Lyuba reciprocating to Levin's flirting]]), Kupitman overhears the part of Levin's discussion with Gleb about inviting a "grown-up woman" into restaurant. "Grown-up woman" in question is actually Levin's mother; Gleb just suggested him to invite her, so Levin would prove to her that he is financially successful (he did this with his own mother once).
* PoorCommunicationKills: Had Kupitman bothered to ask Lyuba about Levin immediately, or ask ''Levin'' immediately, or mention Lyuba at least once by name when he finally confronted Levin, their conflict would've ended much earlier than it did. Ultimately, however, it causes problems only for Levin himself, while Kupitman gets away scot-free.
* PutOnABus: Timur appears one last time, to make the last ditch attempt to win Polina back (via fake suicide note). When Polina finds out and reacts with extreme disgust, he disappears from her life permanently.
* ShipTease: Phil and Polina being so happy together (especially by contrast with yet another Timur's attempt to manipulate Polina) implies that they may become something more than merely friends.
* SkewedPriorities: When Gleb clearly shows that he doesn't care what would happen to him, even if Bykov would fire him, Semyon only comments on being the only one to get punished for it. Bykov calls him a terrible friend, as Gleb's behaviour is a sign of him going into full-blown self-destruct mode, and needing help.

Lobanov receives new patient right in the same ward with his old one (Bykov noticed that he is suspiciously slow with moving between wards). Gleb asks to give that patient to him, but Semyon refuses. When asked why he is so interested, Gleb reveals that this new "patient" isn't even patient at all -- she is his new lover, Irina, whom he smuggled into the hospital, so they may continue lovemaking even here. But he has a plan "B": Semyon may just falsify diagnosis (Irina would play along), and go home after doing his job, leaving Gleb and Irina alone in the hospital. To not attract Bykov's attention, Gleb would ask Kisegach for a VIP ward -- Bykov hates VIP patients and wouldn't go near them unless provoked. But the plan fails, cause the ward was taken by some deputy with kidney problems. Gleb decides to try another way: somehow move the second patient, old granny, out of the ward. For now, Semyon sent her to make ultrasound, but it only bought them an hour at best. Then Bykov indeed shows up to check up Semyon's patients. While he manages to explain why neither of them is in the ward, Bykov takes offence to Semyon himself standing here doing nothing, and takes him away to clean up on-call room. As result, the granny returns and busts Gleb making love with Irina. Instead of confronting them, she angrily goes to Bykov. But she didn't see the faces, and it takes her long enough for Irina to dress up and Gleb hide under bed, so Bykov can't prosecute anyone. Lobanov then lies to Bykov that the granny is likely insane, as she "sees things which don't exists". But this makes Bykov angry ''at him'' for taking so long to inform about patient's condition worsening, and now Lobanov must examine her to decide wether she should be moved to psychiatrist. Now, Semyon wants Gleb to stay away from the ward, or next time they wouldn't be so lucky. Semyon tries to convince the patient that what she'd seen was ''really'' just hallucinations... and then they runs into Gleb and Irina making love in one of the technical rooms. Not waiting till the granny recognises Irina, Semyon yells on her that it's "another hallucination", and walks her away. Bykov gets even angrier by Semyon still doing nothing about his patient's worsening conditions, and orders to prepare for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging MRI]]. It obviously shows nothing... and then Gleb and Irina gets busted by both the granny and Bykov. When yelled by Bykov, Gleb just tells him that he doesn't care, even if Bykov would fire him, and leaves. Bykov sees such indifference as a very bad sign.
Levin tries to mend relationship with Lyuba, and gifts her flowers -- but she angrily tells him that she wants nothing to do with him after he treated her like dirt when she visited him in USA, charging her for anything and everything (he even agreed to pay for return ticket only as loan, when she run out of money thanks to him). He tried to argue that "it's how things gets done in USA", but it only makes her even angrier. Kupitman overlooks them talking, but without being able to hear them, mistakes it for Lyuba reciprocating. Especially since Lyuba accepted flowers (since Levin pressed too hard). After talk with Lyuba went to nowhere (she refuses to admit that she wouldn't be home today because of Levin, stating a "fake" reason about visiting her sister to take self-collected mushrooms from her), Kupitman accidentally overhears Levin discussing with Gleb how he should invite a "grown up woman" in a restaurant, unaware that Levin is referring to ''his mother''. At restaurant, when Levin's mother briefly leaves, Kupitman shows up to confront Levin, and angrily tells him that he should never, ''ever'' stand between ''them'', because after her betrayed ''her'', he'd lost the right to be with her. ''She'' belongs to Kupitman, and no one else! Levin, thinking that Kupitman refers to his mother, asks for explanation, but gets angrily told to shut up. Before leaving, Kupitman drops some money, so Levin may at least afford the "adequate dinner" for ''her'', like ''she'' deserves. When Kupitman leaves, Levin tells his mother that they should have a serious talk. Kupitman returns home -- and realises that what Lyuba ''indeed'' was at her sister (and prepared a great dinner for her man). Their talk gets interrupted by a call from angry Levin, who just ruined standings with his mother even further, to the point that she kicked him out of her house, but Kupitman hangs up, explaining to Lyuba that it was "nothing".

!! This episode provides examples of:
* BlatantLies: When busted by Polina (after sending fake suicide note to her), ready for vacation, with some other girl who asks him to go faster, or they would be late, Timur accepts the part about vacation, but tries to claim that it was his attempt to distract from breakup, but if Polina wishes, he may stay here, with her (and he ''certainly'' doesn't know that other girl!). Naturally, she doesn't buy any of this, and tells him to go screw himself.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Timur just ''had'' to plan that vacation with the other girl as a plan "B" on the same day he tried to win Polina back (plan "A"), didn't he? Now, he'd lost Polina for real, and quite likely would lose the other girl, too, because who likes being someone's plan "B"?
* DrivenToSuicide: Polina finds Timur's suicide note... but turns out that [[SubvertedTrope he lied about it]] as the last ditch attempt to make her return to him. The plan fails miserably.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Semyon lies to his old patient that she sees hallucinations both times when she busts Gleb and Irina having sex; as result, she starts thinking that she's losing her mind. It doesn't work the third time, because this time this happens in Bykov's presence.
* GoryDiscretionShot: All Timur's suicide attempts which Polina imagines happens offscreen, without details being visible; first one involves him electrocuting himself via toaster in his bathroom (with only his hand being visible when the death occurs), in the second, he shoots himself (with only blood spilling on the curtain being visible), and in the third one, he hangs himself (with only legs being visible).
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Lyuba's attempt to reunite with Levin has failed due to Levin once again botching everything, by forcing her to pay for everything from her own (limited) money. Firstly, it was ''him'' who invited her, not the other way around, so it makes him bad host. Secondly, it was explicitly the attempt to mend their relationship, so he was supposed to please her (especially since original breakup was his fault). Thirdly, while it's ''acceptable'' for both sides to pay for themselves, a gentlemen would at least ''offer'' his help (and in Russia, doing so is expected norm); him being a gentleman was one of the major reasons why Lyuba even fell in love with him originally.
* ManipulativeBastard: Probably to make sure that viewers wouldn't try to defend Timur, and would agree with Polina dumping him, Timur shows up one last time, trying to win Polina's attention... through ''fake suicide note''. And when Polina arrives, hoping to prevent his suicide (he may be full of crap, but not to the a degree that she would wish him death!)... she busts him preparing to leave on vacation with his new girlfriend. He [[BlatantLies tries to "explain" the situation]], but after everything he has zero chances for her actually believing.
* NeverMyFault: Even now, Levin fails to see why Lyuba is angry at him, still believing that he did everything right.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Due to being able to only see Lyuba and Levin, not hear them, Kupitman mistakes her discussion with Levin for her reciprocating to his flirting. In fact, she angrily told him to go screw himself, because she still hates him.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Right after he saw Levin talking with Lyuba (which [[NotWhatItLooksLike looked suspiciously like Lyuba reciprocating to Levin's flirting]]), Kupitman overhears the part of Levin's discussion with Gleb about inviting a "grown-up woman" into restaurant. "Grown-up woman" in question is actually Levin's mother; Gleb just suggested him to invite her, so Levin would prove to her that he is financially successful (he did this with his own mother once).
* PoorCommunicationKills: Had Kupitman bothered to ask Lyuba about Levin immediately, or ask ''Levin'' immediately, or mention Lyuba at least once by name when he finally confronted Levin, their conflict would've ended much earlier than it did. Ultimately, however, it causes problems only for Levin himself, while Kupitman gets away scot-free.
* PutOnABus: Timur appears one last time, to make the last ditch attempt to win Polina back (via fake suicide note). When Polina finds out and reacts with extreme disgust, he disappears from her life permanently.
* ShipTease: Phil and Polina being so happy together (especially by contrast with yet another Timur's attempt to manipulate Polina) implies that they may become something more than merely friends.
* SkewedPriorities: When Gleb clearly shows that he doesn't care what would happen to him, even if Bykov would fire him, Semyon only comments on being the only one to get punished for it. Bykov calls him a terrible friend, as Gleb's behaviour is a sign of him going into full-blown self-destruct mode, and needing help.
