History Recap / TheInternsS1E1

-->'''Bykov''': You're not a doctor, you're drunkard.

* BlatantLies: Everything Kupitman says to Varya, from "terminal illness" to stories about his "achievements", is blatantly made-up; he intentionally makes the lies more and more insane to see how far he can go. She falls for all of this.

* DoubleEntendre: "Let steam out" moment. Bykov means cold shower, but Levin decides to "[[MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration take the initiative]]". It's implied that [[{{Troll}} Bykov did this expecting exactly this result]].

--->'''Bykov''' Where are you going?\\
'''Patient''': The time has come.\\
'''Bykov''': The time would come when I would say so! Clear!

*** Boris Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo starts to pretend that he is a good specialist]] from the get-go, despite not having any practical experience. When he actually receives his patient, he demonstrates complete inability to deal with non-standard situations without panicking and embarrassing himself.

* LethallyStupid: Lobanov, in blatant violation of Bykov's instructions, injects his patient with medicine without consulting with Bykov first. Luckily, his blind guess turns out to be correct, but, had his patient really been allergic, like Bykov said, she would be dead.

* NerdsAreVirgins: Levin demonstrates his overblown ego right from the start, insisting on being the great specialist. He fails the very first task, being so aroused by the patient's huge breasts, he wastes ''two hours'', neither interrogating her nor prescribing a treatment, clearly showing that he doesn't even know how to handle his hormones.

It was a normal day for Doctor Andrey Eugenievich Bykov in a small Moscow hospital, until several things happens: his boss, Anastasia Kisegach, forces him to accept four young interns (one of them her son); Bykov's best friend, venereologist Ivan Natanovich Kupitman, goes to work with a strong hangover after three (okay, twelve) days-long binge, and now asks Bykov for a bottle of cognac to "fix" him; and the old widow asks Bykov to release her from the hospital, so she can attend her husband's funeral.

Bykov is not amused by either of this, but he changes his mind when he sees his new interns clumsily falling right after their first entry into the hospital, already anticipating how much fun he can have with them.

Firstly, he interviews his new interns, and instantly figures out what's wrong with them. Boris Levin thinks that just having the red diploma[[note]] Both USSR and Russia have two types of diplomas, normal blue ones, and special red ones, which marks the ones who graduates with best marks[[/note]] makes him a good specialist, and acts very arrogantly about it. Semyon Lobanov relies too much on his experience at ambulance, despite lacking any significant academic knowledge (out of four, he graduated with ''worst'' results), and shows himself to be not very bright right from the get go. Gleb Romanenko is a spoiled rich kid who thinks that he can get away with anything because he is Anastasia's son. And Varvara Chernous (who introduced herself as "Doctor Varya") can just as well wear a sign "Little naive blonde".

To test them, Bykov assigns to each intern their fist tasks; at the end of the day, he would grade their work, and those who would get an "F", would be punished with a night shift.

Lobanov must interrogate an old widow, prescribe the treatment and then report to Bykov, who would check wether this treatment is actually correct or not. But Lobanov decides to just do everything by himself, and injects the patient with medicine without even bothering to doublecheck. To teach him a lesson, Bykov tells him that he just killed his patient with incorrect treatment, which Semyon doesn't take well.

In the end, each intern fails and receives an ''"F"'': Boris for failing to maintain professionalism; Semyon for blatant disregard for his patient's safety; Gleb for lying to his boss; and Varya for allowing the "patient" to manipulate her into breaking hospital's rules. That means that ''all'' of them would stay on a night shift.

* BaitAndSwitchComment: When Bykov rates his interns in the end, each of them immediately receives an "F", for their respective failures. Except for Lobanov:

* BrickJoke: Bykov makes sure that widow is not harmed by Lobanov's stupidity, and lets her go. At night she returns to the hospital, because she feels more comfortable here, and meets Semyon, who was told that the patient is dead (to punish him for his stupidity), leading to Semyon mistaking her for a ghost an panicking:

* DoubleEntendre: "Let steam out" moment. Bykov means cold shower, but Levin decides to "[[MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration take the initiative]]". Knowing [[{{Troll}} Bykov]], it may or may not be intentional.
* EpicFail: Each intern fails their first tasks miserably, but Levin and Varya deserves special mentions:
** Boris Levin fails to examine or even interrogate his big-breasted patient, and later [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown gets caught with his pants down]]. While claiming to be the best specialist out there.
** Varvara Chernous falls for "[[BlatantLies terminally ill]]" patient's story, and brings him alcohol and other forbidden items. What makes it particularly inexcusable, it was entirely avoidable by just noticing that the "patient" lacks clinical history, and asking why.

** Opening scene when Bykov stops the dying patient (the scene happens in the patient's vision), is the first clue about Bykov's ego.

** The ''first'' thing Kupitman does is to arrive with heavy hangover and ask for a ward so he may wait it out. Even in that condition he recognises the opportunity to exploit new interns [[{{Troll}} for some fun]].

** Gleb Romanenko attempts to [[{{Nepotism}} exploit his connection to his mother]] (unsuccessfully), and later outright lies to Bykov, his direct boss.
** Varvara Chernous fails to recognise blatantly fake patient, and follows his demands to bring blatantly illegal items liks booze and cigarettes, while doing nothing out of the things actually required when dealing with the actual patient -- starting with skipping reading the clinical history, which would've disproved his "illness" right away.

* TheKlutz: Varya hits several people and objects before she even receives a patient. This is why Bykov gives her Kupitman instead.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Bykov lies to Lobanov that he just [[LethallyStupid killed his first patient over his stupidity]] (in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath rather gruesome way]]), Semyon takes it very personally, and spends the rest of the day trying to find the patient's family and apologise.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns arriving. It gets {{Inverted|Trope}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slips and falls on a wet floor]], and Bykov realises that he may have ''a lot'' of [[{{Troll}} "fun"]] with them.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Had Varya actually used her brain instead of her emotions, and bothered to check the clinical history first, she would have realised that Kupitman is not really sick much early.
* {{Troll}}: Bykov:

* BaitAndSwitchComment: When Bykov rates his interns in the end, each of them immediately receives an ''"F"'', for their respective failures. Except for Lobanov:

* BoredomMontage: As a punishment for his audacity, Romanenko receives a comatose patient with "[[BlatantLies easy]]" task: interrogate him, report to Bykov and go home. Instead of learning his lesson and apologise to Bykov, he spends a lot, [[OverlyLongGag a lot of time]] doing nothing, and then just fakes his report.
* BrickJoke: Bykov makes sure that widow is not harmed by Lobanov's stupidity, and lets her go. At night she returns to the hospital, because she feels more comfortable here, and meets Semyon, who was told that the patient is dead (to punish him for his stupidity), leading to this moment:

* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Levin gets caught by Lyuba while, quoting Bykov, "letting steam out" in the shower.
* ComicallyIneptHealing: Semyon Lobanov receives clear instructions -- interrogate the patient, suggest treatment, check with Bykov wether everything is right. Instead, he blindly injects his patient (an old woman who was described as very fragile) with some medicine without neither asking Bykov nor doublechecking. By sheer miracle he doesn't harm her, but Bykov tells him that he just killed his patient, to teach him a lesson.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: To teach Semyon a lesson, Bykov lies to him that him blindly injecting a patient with siringe resulted in her having violent allergic reaction and dying in painful agony.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Misinterpreting Bykov's advice about "[[DoubleEntendre letting steam out]]", Levin, after failing his task, goes to the shower room to, well, let steam out. [[{{Troll}} Bykov]] sends Lyuba here just in time for Levin to get [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown caught mid-action]].

* DoubleEntendre: "Let steam out" moment. Bykov means cold shower, but Levin decides to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]". Knowing [[{{Troll}} Bykov]], it may or may not be intentional.

* IdiotHoudini: Each intern gets away with ''serious'' screws up, which would get them kicked out on the very first day anywhere else; they merely gets night shifts as a punishment.

* NerdsAreVirgins: Levin demonstrate his overblown ego right from the start, insisting on being the great specialist. He fails the very first task, being so aroused by the patient's huge breasts, he wastes ''two hours'' without either interrogating her or prescribing a treatment, clearly showing that he doesn't even know how to handle his hormones.

** Gleb tells Bykov that since they clearly dislike each other, Bykov should cut his working day, so they would communicate as little as possible.
** When Varya believes Kupitman's lies that he's dying, and asks what can possibly be done, Kupitman... asks her to bring him booze. When she gets shocked by this, he moans as if he's in agony, which immediately kills any doubts she has. Before he leaves, he asks her to bring cigarettes as well. The next time we see them, it turns out that Kupitman has asked for chips as well, and received them. Varya still suspects nothing.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns arriving. It gets {{Inverted|Trope}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slip and fall on a wet floor]], and Bykov realises that he may have ''a lot'' of [[{{Troll}} "fun"]] with them.

** When Bykov and Kupitman sees interns arriving, they are not very enthusiastic at first, but when they see them falling, they realise that they just got new toys to play with.

* FreudianSlip: Levin just can't say anything to his [[GagBoobs patit]]... patient, without mentioning that she has big... potential issues.

In the end, each intern fails and receives an ''"F"'': Boris for failing to maintain professionalism; Semyon for blatant disregard for his patient's safety; Gleb for lying to his boss; and Varya for allowing the "patient" to manipulate her into breaking hospital's rules. That means what ''all'' of them would stay on a night shift.

* BrickJoke: Bykov makes sure that widow is not harmed by Lobanov's stupidity, and lets her go. At night she returns to the hospital, because she feels more comfortable here, and meets Semyon, who was told what the patient is dead (to punish him for his stupidity), leading to this moment:

'''Widow''': I doesn't feel good at home, I can't sleep there.\\

* ComicallyIneptHealing: Semyon Lobanov receives clear instructions -- interrogate the patient, suggest treatment, check with Bykov wether everything is right. Instead, he blindly injects his patient (an old woman who was described as very fragile) with some medicine without neither asking Bykov nor doublechecking. By sheer miracle he doesn't harm her, but Bykov tells him what he just killed his patient, to teach him a lesson.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Misinterpreting Bykov's advice about "[[DoubleEntendre letting steam out]], Levin, after failing his task, goes to the shower room to, well, let steam out. [[{{Troll}} Bykov]] sends Lyuba here just in time for Levin to get [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown caught mid-action]].

** Varvara Chernous falls for "[[BlatantLies terminally ill]]" patient's story, and brings him alcohol and other forbidden items. What makes it particularly inexcusable,, it was entirely avoidable by just noticing that the "patient" lacks clinical history, and asking why.

** Opening scene when Bykov stops dying patient (the scene happens in the patient's dying vision), is the first clue about Bykov's ego.

*** Boris Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo starts to pretend that he is a good specialist]] from the get-go, despite not having any practical experience. When he actually receives his patient, he demonstrates utterly inability to deal with non-standard situations without panicking and embarrassing himself.
*** Semyon Lobanov [[TheDitz can't even answer the first question]] (what is your surname?), instead he says his first name, before correcting himself after Bykov gives him angry look. Then he starts mentioning his experience at ambulance, despite it not being what he was asked for. Later, when he interrogates his patient, he demonstrates his HairTriggerTemper and [[LethallyStupid utter inability to follow the rules without screwing up]].

** Varvara Chernous introduced herself as "[[TheDitz Doctor Varya]]". Then, when Bykov says her that she is not "good doctor material" because she is a woman, [[ExtremeDoormat instead of trying to disagree]], she sheepishly asks what she can do with it. When Bykov introduces interns to their first patients, turns out that she is also [[TheKlutz clumsy]], so Bykov doesn't risk with any real patients and sends her to [[TheAlcoholic Kupitman]], who tricks her into breaking some rules by exploiting her by pretending to be terminally ill -- something she would easily disprove by just using her brain rather than [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness blindly rushing to help]].
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: Interns enters into the hospital marching something epic is gonna happen... only to [[SlipperySkid slip on the wet floor, and fall in rather comical manner]]. Bykov, Kupitman -- and the viewers -- immediately realises just what to expect from those guys' internship.
* FreudianSlip: Levin just can't say anything to his [[GagBoobs patit]]... patient, without mentioning what she has big... potential issues.

** Semyon Lobanov makes [[LethallyStupid stupid and very dangerous mistake]], which in other circumstances could be fatal, while blatantly disregarding his superior's instructions.
** Gleb Romanenko attempts to [[{{Nepotism exploit his connection to his mother]], and later outright lies to Bykov, his direct boss.
** Varvara Chernous fails to recognise blatantly fake patient, and follows his demands to bring blatantly illegal items liks booze and cigarettes, while doing nothing out of the things which would've needed if he was the actual patient.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns arriving. It gets {{Inverted|Trope}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slip and fall on a wet floor]], and Bykov realises what he may have ''a lot'' of [[{{Troll}} "fun"]] with them.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Had Varya actually used her brain instead of her emotions, and bothered to check the clinical history first, she would have realised what Kupitman is not really sick much early.

-->'''Bykov''' Where are you going?\\

It was a normal day for Doctor Andrey Eugenievich Bykov in a small Moscow hospital, until several things happens: his boss, Anastasia Kisegach, forces him to accept four young interns (one of them her son); Bykov's best friend, venereologist Ivan Natanovich Kupitman, goes to work with a strong hangover after three (okay, twelve) days-long boozefest, and now asks Bykov for a bottle of cognac to "fix" him; and the old widow asks Bykov to release her from the hospital, so she can attend her husband's funeral.

Firstly, he interviews his new interns, and instantly figures out what's wrong with them. Boris Levin thinks what just having the red diploma makes him a good specialist, and acts very arrogantly about it. Semyon Lobanov relies too much on his experience at ambulance, despite lacking any significant academic knowledge (out of four, he graduated with ''worst'' results), and shows himself to be not very bright right from the get go. Gleb Romanenko is a spoiled rich kid who thinks what he can get away with anything because he is Anastasia's son. And Varvara Chernous (who introduced herself as "Doctor Varya") can just as well wear a sign "Little naive blonde".

To test them, Bykov assigns to each intern his fist tasks; at the end of the day, he would grade their work, and those who would get an "F", would be punished with a night shift.

Levin is tasked with examining one woman, but he just can't stop to be distracted by her big breasts. Bykov suggests him to "let steam out", but Levin misinterprets his suggestion as permission to, well, relief himself. Thanks to Bykov, Boris quickly gets caught by a head nurse Lyuba.

Lobanov must interrogate an old widow, prescribe treatment and then report to Bykov, who would check wether Lobanov is actually correct or not. But Lobanov decides to just do everything by himself, and injects the patient with medicine without even bothering to doublecheck. To teach him a lesson, Bykov tells him what he just killed his patient with incorrect treatment, which Semyon doesn't take well.

In the end, each intern fails and receives an ''"F"'': Levin for failing to maintain professionalism; Lobanov for blatant disregard for his patient safety; Romanenko for lying to his boss; and Varya for allowing the "patient" to manipulate her into breaking hospital's rules. This means what ''all'' of them would stay on a night shift.

-->'''Bykov''': Doctor Lobanov. He decided what he is the most experienced one, and killed a granny. "D". Joking, "F".

* BoredomMontage: As a punishment for his audacity, Romanenko receives a comatose patient with "[[BlatantLies easy]]" task: interrogate him, report to Bykov and go home. Instead of learning his lesson and apologise to Bykov, he spends a lot, [[OverlyLongGag a lot of time]] here, and then just fakes his report.
* BrickJoke: Bykov makes sure what widow is not harmed by Lobanov stupidity, and lets her go. At night she returns to the hospital, because she feels more comfortable here, and meets Semyone, who was told what the patient is dead (to punish him for his stupidity), leading to this moment:

Cue to Lobanov turning around, seeing a woman he supposedly killed, and [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming]].
* BuxomIsBetter: Levin's patient has rather... impressive breasts. Levin absolutely can't think straight near her, to the point what even music changes when she reveals herself for examination.

* DoubleEntendre: "Let steam out" moment. Bykov means cold shower, but Levin decides to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]". Knowing [[{{Troll}} Bykov]], it was almost certainly intended that way.

** Interns' [[SlipperySkid fall]] when they first appears in the hospital. Also, each one receives their personal one, first during the interview with Bykov, then when they start "treating" their patients:
*** Boris Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo starts to pretend what he is a good specialist]] from the get-go, despite not having any practical experience. When he actually receives his patient, it turns out, [[NerdsAreVirgins he is not able to control his body's urges either]].
*** Semyon Lobanov [[TheDitz can't even answer the first question]] (what is your surname?), instead he says his first name, before correcting himself after Bykov gives him angry look. Then he starts mentioning his "experience" at ambulance, despite it not being what he was asked for. Later, when he interrogates his patient, he [[HairTriggerTemper quickly gets angry and almost shouts at her]], despite Bykov's warning about her condition, and then [[LethallyStupid injects her with some medicine, despite Bykov clearly says what they should inform him first]].
*** Gleb Romanenko [[RefugeInAudacity suggests]] what Bykov should cut his working day, so they would interact with each other as little as possible. When Bykov assigns him to ImpossibleTask as a punishment, he tries to lie to Bykov so he [[TheSlacker may go home early]].
** Varvara Chernous introduced herself as "[[TheDitz Doctor Varya]]". Then, when Bykov says her what she is not "good doctor material" because she is a woman, [[ExtremeDoormat instead of trying to disagree]], she sheepishly asks what she can do with it. When Bykov introduces interns to their first patients, turns out what she is also [[TheKlutz clumsy]], so Bykov doesn't risk with any real patients and sends her to [[TheAlcoholic Kupitman]]. Then, she falls for Kupitman's [[BlatantLies sob story]], and becomes [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness too busy worrying about him to actually make job done]]. The "job" being just checking his clinical history and kicking him out once his lies gets revealed.
* FreudianSlip: Levin just can't say anything to his [[GagBoobs patit]]... patient, without mentioning what she has [[BuxomIsBetter big]]... potential issues. He asks Bykov for help, but he [[{{Troll}} only makes things worse]].
* GameplayGrading: Bykov decides to award his interns with grades depending on how they deal with their tasks. Those who would screw up, would receive an ''"F"'' and would stay on a night shift. Predictably, they all fail. Neither of them bothers to read clinical history.
** Boris Levin fails to examine or even interrogate his [[BuxomIsBetter big-breasted]] patient, and later [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown gets caught with his pants down]]. While claiming to be the best specialist out there.

** Varvara Chernous falls for "[[BlatantLies terminally ill]]" patient's story, and brings him alcohol and other forbidden items. What makes it particularly inexcusable,, it was entirely avoidable by just noticing what the "patient" lacks clinical history, and asking why.
* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Levin and Bykov switches to Latin, so Levin can explain [[NerdsAreVirgins why]] he wastes so much time, without patient understanding them. Bykov is not amused, and decides to embarrass him further; cue the "[[ADateWithRosiePalms Let steam out]]" moment.
* ImpossibleTask: When Gleb asks for easy task, Bykov gives him an "easy" task -- one patient whom Gleb must just interrogate, and report back. The problem? The patient is ''comatose'', which Bykov "forgets" to mention.
* TheKlutz: Varya hits several people and objects before she even receives a patient.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Bykov lies to Lobanov what he just [[LethallyStupid killed his first patient]] (in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath rather gruesome way]]), Semyon takes it very personally, and spends the rest of day trying to find the patient's family and apologise.
* NerdsAreVirgins: {{Exploited|Trope}}. Bykov specifically assigns Levin to [[BuxomIsBetter big-breasted]] patient to prove what for all his academic knowledge, he totally lacks ability to apply it in practice. He ends up being completely right. Levin wastes '''two hours''' without achieving anything or even asking any meaningful questions, and later gets caught during attempt to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms let steam out]]".
* PetTheDog: At the end of day, Kupitman comes to apologise before Varya for exploiting her, thanks her for her help (since she helped him curing his hangover), and buys her chocolate. He also tries to explain to her what she was actually supposed to do in their situation.

** Gleb tells Bykov what since they clearly dislike each other, Bykov should cut his working day, so they would communicate as little as possible.
** When Varya believes Kupitman what he's dying, and asks what can possibly be done, Kupitman... asks her to bring him booze. When she gets surprised, he moans as if he's in agony, which immediately kills any doubts she has. Before he leaves, he asks her to bring cigarettes as well. The next time we see them, it turns out what Kupitman has asked for chips as well, and received them. Varya still suspects nothing.

* SlipperySkid: EstablishingCharacterMoment for all four interns as a group is them slipping on wet floor and simultaneously fall. Bykov considers that to be this InUniverse, and they prove him right before the day ends.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns arriving. Gets {{Inverted}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slip and fall on wet floor]], since he realises what he may have ''a lot'' of [[{{Troll}} "fun"]] with them.

** When Bykov and Kupitman sees interns arriving, they are not very enthusiastic at first, but when they see them falling, they realise what they just got new toys to play with.

** When Levin interprets Bykov's [[DoubleEntendre vague]] advice to "let steam out" as permission to masturbate (instead of taking cold shower), Bykov sends Lyuba to check on him.
** When Gleb asks for "easy" task, Bykov sends him to just interrogate a patient, after which he can go. Except, the patient turns out to be ''comatose''.

It was normal day for Doctor Andrey Bykov in small Moscow hospital, until several things happens: his boss, Anastasia Kysegach, forces him to accept four young interns (one of them her son); Bykov's best friend, venereologist Ivan Kupitman, goes to work with strong hangover after three (okay, twelve) days boozefest, and now ask Bykov for bottle of cognac to "fix" him; old widow asks him to release her from hospital, so she can attend her husband's funeral.

Bykov is not amused by either of this, but he changes his mind when he sees his new interns clumsily falling right after their first entry into hospital, already anticipating how much fun he can have with them.

Firstly, he interviewed his new interns, and instantly figures out whats wrong with them. Boris Levin is thinks that he is smarter than he is. Semyon Lobanov relies too much on his experience as army paramedic, despite lacking any significant academic knowledge. Gleb Romanenko is spoiled rich kid who thinks what he can get away with anything because he is Anastasia's son. And Varvara Chernous (who introduced herself as "Doctor Varya") can just as well wear a sign "Little naive blonde".

To test them, Bykov assigns to each intern his fist tasks; if they fail, they would be forced to spend night in the hospital on night shift.

Levin was tasked with woman's examination, but he just can't stop to be distracted by her big breasts. Bykov suggests him "let steam out", but Levin misinterprets his suggestion. Thanks to a Bykov, he quickly gets caught by head nurse Lyuba.

Lobanov must interrogate old widow, prescribe treatment and then report to Bykov, so he would check if Lobanov actually correct or not. But Lobanov decides to just do everything himself. To teach him a lesson, Bykov tells him what he just kills his patient with incorrect treatment, which he doesn't takes well.

Romanenko tries to exploit his connections with Bykov's boss, to which Bykov reacts with "easy" task... of interrogating comatose patient. After wasting lots of time on doing nothing, Romanenko decides to just fake his report, which obviously doesn't work.

Chernous, who from the start proves herself to be spineless and clumsy, was tasked with "curing" Kupitman from his hangover, while Kupitman decides to exploit her naiveness.

In the end, each intern fails and receives an ''"F"'': Levin for failing to maintain professionalism; Lobanov for blatant disregard for his patient safety; Romanenko for lying to his boss; and Varya for allowing "patient" to manipulate her into breaking hospital's rules. This means what ''all'' of them would stay on night shift.

* TheAlcoholic: This is first, but surely not last time we learn about Kupitman's alcoholism, although this time even Bykov is surprised just how bad his condition is. Bykov exploits this to "test" Varya, when Kupitman pretends to be terminally ill patient.
** Old widow is implied to also be this, which explains most of her health problems.

-->'''Bykov''': ''"Doctor Lobanov. He decided what he is most experienced one, and killed granny. ''"D"''. Joking, "F"''.
* BlatantLies: Everything Kupitman says to Varya, from "terminal illness" to stories about his "achievements". She falls for all of this.
* BoredomMontage: As punishment for his audacity, Romanenko receives comatose patient with "[[BlatantLies easy]]" task: interrogate him, report to Bykov and he can go. Instead of learning his lesson and apologise to Bykov, he spend a lot, [[OverlyLongGag a lot of time]] here, and then just fakes his report.
* BrickJoke: Bykov makes sure what widow is not harmed by Lobanov stupidity, and lets her go. Later this night she returns to hospital, because she is more comfortable here, leading to this moment:
->'''Widow''': ''"Hello, Doctor. I have returned"''.\\
'''Lobanov''': ''"How... returned?.."''\\
'''Widow''': ''"I am not feel good, I can't sleep there"''.
->Cue to Lobanov turning around, seeing a woman he supposedly killed, and [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming]].
* BuxomIsBetter: Levin's patient has rather... impressive breasts.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Levin was caught by Lyuba while, quoting Bykov, "letting steam out".
* ComicallyIneptHealing: Each intern, in their own way:
** Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo overestimates his competence]], and tries to look smarter than he really is, but have [[TooCleverByHalf almost zero real experience]]. Bykov exploits this and tasks him with beautiful woman's [[BuxomIsBetter breasts examination]]. When Levin predictably [[NerdsAreVirgins gets overaroused]], Bykov suggested him to "[[DoubleEntendre let steam out]]", meaning cold shower; just as Bykov expected, Levin misinterpreted this, and decided to, quoting Bykov, "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]". Then Bykov [[{{Troll}} suggested]] head nurse Lyuba to check why he takes so long. Since Bykov is forced to do his work for him, Levin fails.
** Lobanov was instructed to never try and prescribe anything without consulting with Bykov. Lobanov instead decided to inject his patient with medicine, not even bothering to doublecheck. Once Bykov found out, he tell Lobanov what he [[CruelAndUnusualDeath just killed his patient, in rather painful way]], leading Semyon to MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment. Lobanov fails because of his [[LethallyStupid blatant disregard of his patient's safety]].
** Romanenko [[RefugeInAudacity suggested]] what Bykov should cut his working day, so they would interact with each other [[TheSlacker as little as possible]]. Bykov assigned him to "easy" patient, whom he only needs to interrogate, and then he can go. Patient turns out to be comatose. What Romanenko does? He fakes interrogation report, hoping what Bykov wouldn't doublecheck it. Except it was [[SecretTestOfCharacter test if Romanenko would admit his failure and apologise]]. He doesn't, and gets punished for his lie.
** "Doctor Varya" was assigned to Kupitman, who pretends to be terminally ill to shamelessly exploit her [[ExtremeDoormat spineless]] and [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness extreme impulsiveness to receive booze... and [[RefugeInAudacity cigarettes]]. Later he also seen [[RuleOfThree eating chips]]. She doesn't suspect anything, even when he start telling her his "[[BlatantLies story]]". Since he manipulates her into breaking many hospital's rules, ''and'' she does nothing of what any half-way competent doctor would do in this situation, she fails.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Levin does this in shower room after failing his task. [[{{Troll}} Bykov]] send Lyuba here just in time for Levin to get [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown caught]].
* DoubleEntendre: "Let steam out" moment. Bykov means cold shower, but Levin decides to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Interns' [[SlipperySkid fall]] when they first appears in the hospital. Also, each one receives their personal one, first during interview with Bykov, then when they start "treating" their patients:
** Levin starts [[SmallNameBigEgo to pretend what he is good specialist]] from get-go, despite [[TooCleverByHalf not having any actual ability to apply his knowledge on practice]]. When he actually receives his patient, it turns out, [[NerdsAreVirgins he is not able to control his body's urges either]].
** Lobanov [[TheDitz can't even answer first question]] (what is your surname?), instead he says his first name, before correcting himself after Bykov gives him angry look. Then he starts mentioning his "experience" as military paramedic, despite Bykov not asked for this. Later, when he interrogates his patient, he [[HairTriggerTemper quickly gets angry and almost shouts at her]], despite Bykov's warning about her condition, and then [[LethallyStupid injects her with some medicine, despite Bykov clearly says what they should inform him first]]. He's not even bother to read her clinical history.
** Romanenko [[RefugeInAudacity suggests]] what Bykov should cut his working day, so they would interact with each other as little as possible. When Bykov assigns him to ImpossibleTask as punishment, he tries to lie to Bykov so he [[TheSlacker may go home early]].
** Varvara introduced herself as "[[TheDitz Doctor Varya]]". Then, when Bykov says her what she is not "good Doctor material" because she is a woman, [[ExtremeDoormat instead of trying to disagree]], she sheepishly asks what she can do with it. When Bykov introduces interns to their first patients, turns out what she is also [[TheKlutz clumsy]]. Then, she falls for Kupitman's [[BlatantLies sob story]], and becomes [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness too busy worrying about him to actually make job done]] (had she actually bother to read his clinical story, she would have learn what he is not even patient to begin with, and is simply alcoholic with suffering from hangover.

* GameplayGrading: Bykov decided to award his interns with grades depending on how they deal with their tasks. Those who would screw up, would receive an ''"F"'' and would stay on night shift. Predictably, they all fail. Neither of them bothers to read clinical history (in Varya's case, she [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot could have avoided all her problems simply by this]]).
** Levin fails to examine or even interrogate his [[BuxomIsBetter big-breasted]] patient, and later [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown gets caught with his pants down]].
** Lobanov makes [[LethallyStupid stupid mistake]], which in other circumstances could be fatal.
** Romanenko attempts to [[{{Nepotism exploit his connection to his mother]], and later outright lies to Bykov.
** Varvara believes in "[[BlatantLies terminally ill]]" patient's story, and brings him alcohol and other forbidden items.
* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Levin and Bykov switches to Latin, so Levin can explain [[NerdsAreVirgins why]] he wastes so much time, without patient understanding them. Bykov is not amused, and decided to embarrass him further; cue the "[[ADateWithRosiePalms Let steam out]]" moment.
* InSeriesNickname: First, but certainly [[RunningGag not the last]] appearance of "[[MaliciousMisnaming Doctor Lenin]] and "[[OnceDoneNeverForgotten Doctor Varya]]".
* LethallyStupid: Lobanov. Luckily, his blind guess turns out to be correct, but had his patient really been allergic, like Bykov said, she would be dead. Lobanov not even bothered to check her clinic history or ask Bykov, who specifically forbid him to attempt something like this without supervision.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Bykov [[BlatantLies tell]] Lobanov what [[CruelAndUnusualDeath he killed, in rather painful way]] [[LethallyStupid his first patient]], he didn't take it well. Lobanov tried to find her relatives and apology to them personally.
** [[BrickJoke Later that night]], his patient return to hospital. Cue to Lobanov [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl mistaking her for a ghost]].
* NerdsAreVirgins: {{Exploited}}. Bykov specifically assigns Levin to [[BuxomIsBetter big-breasted]] patient to prove what for all his academic knowledge, he totally lacks ability to apply it in practice. He was right. Levin wastes '''two hours''' without achieving anything or even asking any meaningful question, and later gets caught during attempt to "[[ADateWithRosiePalms let steam out]]".
* PetTheDog: Kupitman later apologies to Varya for exploiting her, thanked her for her help (since she helped him curing his hangover), and buys her chocolate. He also tries to (more politely than Bykov) explain to her, what she did wrong.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Lobanov's reaction once he sees "a ghost" of his "dead" patient.
* SlipperySkid: EstablishingCharacterMoment for all four interns is them slipping on wet floor and simultaneously fall. Bykov considers that to be this InUniverse, and they proved him right before day ends.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns. Gets {{Inverted}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slip and fall on wet floor]], since he realised what he may have ''a lot'' of [[{{Troll}} "fun"]] with them.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Had Varya actually used her brain instead of her emotions, and bothered to check clinical history first, she would have realised what Kupitman is not really sick much early.

* InSeriesNickname: First, but certainly [[RunningGag not the last]] appearance of "[[MaliciousMisnaming Doctor Lenin]] and "[[NeverLiveItDown Doctor Varya]]" [[invoked]].

Bykov is not amused by either of this, but he changes his mind when he sees his new interns [[SlipperySkid clumsily falling right after their first entry into hospital]], already anticipating how much [[{{Troll}} fun he can have with them]].

Firstly, he interviewed his new interns, and instantly figures out whats wrong with them. Boris Levin is [[SmallNameBigEgo thinks]] that [[TooCleverByHalf he is smarter than he is]]. Semyon Lobanov [[BookDumb relies too much on his experience as army paramedic, despite lacking any significant academic knowledge]]. Gleb Romanenko is [[SpoiledBrat spoiled rich kid]] who thinks what he can get away with anything because he is [[{{Nepotism}} Anastasia's son]]. And Varvara Chernous (who introduced herself as "Doctor Varya") can just as well wear a sign "[[ExtremeDoormat Little ]] [[NaiveNewcomer naive]] [[DumbBlonde blonde]]".

Levin was tasked with woman's examination, but [[NerdsAreVirgins he just can't stop]] to be distracted by [[BuxomIsBetter her big breasts]]. Bykov suggests him "let steam out", but Levin [[ADateWithRosiePalms misinterprets]] his suggestion. Thanks to a [[{{Troll}} Bykov]], he quickly gets caught by head nurse Lyuba.

Lobanov must interrogate old widow, prescribe treatment and then report to Bykov, so he would check if Lobanov actually correct or not. But Lobanov decides to just do everything himself. To teach him a lesson, Bykov tells him what he just kills his patient with incorrect treatment, which [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he doesn't takes well]].

Chernous, who from the start proves herself to be [[ExtremeDoormat spineless]] and [[TheKlutz clumsy]], was tasked with "curing" Kupitman from his hangover, while Kupitman decides to exploit her naiveness.

->'''Bykov''': ''"Doctor Lobanov. He decided what he is most experienced one, and killed granny. ''"D"''. Joking, "F"''.
* BlatantLies: Everything Kupitman says to Varya, from "terminal illness" to stories about his "achievements".
* BoredomMontage: as punishment for his audacity, Romanenko receives comatose patient with "[[BlatantLies easy]]" task: interrogate him, report to Bykov and he can go. Instead of learning his lesson and apologise to Bykov, he spends a lot, [[OverlyLongGag lot of time]] here, and then just fakes his report.

->'''Widow''': ''Hello, Doctor. I have returned''.\\
'''Lobanov''': ''How returned?..''\\
'''Widow''': ''I am not feel good, I can't sleep there''.

** Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo overestimates his competence]], and tries to look smarter than he really is, but have [[TooCleverByHalf almost zero real experience]]. Bykov exploits this and tasks him with beautiful woman's breasts examination. When Levin predictably [[NerdsAreVirgins gets overaroused]], Bykov suggested him to "[[DoubleEntendre let steam out]]", meaning cold shower; just as Bykov expected, Levin misinterprets this, and decides to, quoting Bykov, "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]". Then Bykov [[{{Troll}} suggests]] head nurse Lyuba to check why he takes so long. Since Bykov is forced to do his work for him, Levin fails.
** Lobanov was instructed to never try and prescribe anything without consulting with Bykov. Lobanov instead decided to inject his patient with medicine, not even bothering to doublecheck. Once Bykov finds out, he tells Lobanov what he [[CruelAndUnusualDeath killed]] his patient, leading Semyon to MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment. Lobanov fails because of his [[LethallyStupid blatant disregard of his patient's safety]].
** Romanenko [[RefugeInAudacity suggests]] what Bykov should cut his working day, so they would interact with each other as little as possible. Bykov assigns him to "easy" patient, who he only needs to interrogate, and then he can go. Patient turns out to be comatose. What Romanenko does? He fakes interrogation report, hoping what Bykov wouldn't doublecheck it. Except it was [[SecretTestOfCharacter test if Romanenko would admit his failure and apologise]]. He doesn't, and gets punished for his lie.
** "Doctor Varya" was assigned to Kupitman, who pretends to be terminally is to shamelessly exploit her [[ExtremeDoormat spineless]] to receive booze... and [[RefugeInAudacity cigarettes]]. Later he also seen eating chips. She doesn't suspects anything, even when he starts [[BlatantLies telling]] her his "story". Since he manipulates her into breaking many hospital's rules, ''and'' she does nothing of what any half-way competent Doctor would do in this situation, she fails.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Interns' fall when they first appears in the hospital. Also, each one receives their personal one:
** Levin starts [[SmallNameBigEgo to pretend what he is good specialist]] from get-go, despite [[TooCleverByHalf not having any actual ability to apply his knowledge on practice]].
** Lobanov [[TheDitz can't even answer first question]] (what is your surname?), instead he says his first name, before correcting himself after Bykov gives him weird look. Then he starts to mentioning his "experience" as military paramedic, despite Bykov not asked for this. Later, when he interrogates his patient, he quickly gets angry and almost shouts at her, despite Bykov's warning about her condition, and then injects her with some medicine, despite Bykov clearly says what they should inform him first. He's not even bother to read her clinical history.
** Romanenko [[RefugeInAudacity suggests]] what Bykov should cut his working day, so they would interact with each other as little as possible. When Bykov assigns him to ImpossibleTask as punishment, he tries to lie to Bykov.
** Varvara introduced herself as "[[TheDitz Doctor Varya]]". Then, when Bykov says her what she is not "good Doctor material" because she is a woman, [[ExtremeDoormat instead of trying to disagree]], she sheepishly asks what she can do with it. Then, when Bykov introduces interns to their first patients, turns out what she is also [[TheKlutz clumsy]].
** Theres also her believing Kupitman's [[BlatantLies story]], and doing every single thing he ask her for. Then it turns out, she doesn't even bother to read his clinic history, which would instantly disprove all Kupitman's claims.

* GameplayGrading: Bykov decided to award his interns with grades depending on how they deal with their tasks. Those who would screw up, would receive an ''"F"'' and would stay on night shift. Predictably, they all fail. Neither of them bothers to read clinical history (Varya's cases, she [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot could have avoided all her problems simply by this]]).

* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Levin and Bykov switches to Latin, so Levin can explain [[NerdsAreVirgins why]] he wastes so much time, without patient understanding them. Bykov is not amused, and decided to embarrass him further; cue the "[[ADateWithRosiePalms Let steam out]]".
* InSeriesNickname: First appearance of "[[MaliciousMisnaming Doctor Lenin]] and "[[NeverLiveItDown Doctor Varya]]" [[invoked]].
* LethallyStupid: Lobanov. Luckily, his blind guess turns out to be correct, but had his patient really been allergic, like Bykov said, she would be dead. Lobanov not even bothers to check her clinic history or ask Bykov, who specifically forbids him to do this.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Bykov [[BlatantLies tell]] Lobanov what [[CruelAndUnusualDeath he killed]] [[LethallyStupid his first patient]], he didn't take it well. Lobanov tries to find her relatives and apology to them personally.
** [[BrickJoke Later that night]], his patient returns to hospital. Cue to Lobanov [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl mistaking her for a ghost]].

* PetTheDog: Kupitman later apologies to Varya for exploiting her, thanked her for her help (since she helps him curing his hangover), and buys her chocolate. He also tries to (more politely, then Bykov) explain to her, what she did wrong.

* SlipperySkid: EstablishingCharacterMoment for all four interns. Bykov considers that to be this InUniverse, and soon they proved him right.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Bykov's first reaction when he sees his interns. Gets {{Inverted}} when they [[SlipperySkid clumsily slip and fall on wet floor]].

** Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo overestimates his competence]], and tries to look smarter than he really is, but have [[KnowNothingKnowItAll almost zero real experience]]. Bykov exploits this and tasks him with beautiful woman's breasts examination. When Levin predictably [[NerdsAreVirgins gets overaroused]], Bykov suggested him to "[[DoubleEntendre let steam out]]", meaning cold shower; just as Bykov expected, Levin misinterprets this, and decides to, quoting Bykov, "[[ADateWithRosiePalms take initiative]]".

** Lobanov makes stupid mistake, which in other circumstances could be fatal.
** Romanenko attempts to exploit his connection to his mother, and later outright lies to Bykov.
** Varvara believes in "terminally ill" patient's story, and brings him alcohol and other forbidden items.

Just to prove to them what they are still have so much to learn and whatever knowledge and experience they have before means nothing to him ([[{{Troll}} and to amuse himself, of course]]), he assigns to them their fist tasks; if they fail, they would be forced to spend night in the hospital on night shift. Of course, each task is [[BatmanGambit designed to fail them]].

Levin was tasked with woman's examination, but [[NerdsAreVirgins he just can't stop]] to be distracted by [[BuxomIsBetter her big breasts]]. Bykov suggests him "let steam out", but Levin [[ADateWithRosiePalms misinterprets]] his suggestion.

Romanenko tries to exploit his connections with Bykov's boss, to which Bykov reacts with "easy" task... of interrogating comatose patient.

** Old widow is implied to also be this.

* BatmanGambit: Each intern gets assignment specifically designed to fail them because of their flaws. He is not disappointed.
** Levin [[SmallNameBigEgo overestimates his competence]], and tries to look smarter than he really is, but have [[KnowNothingKnowItAll almost zero real experience]].
