Timur promised Gleb to organise everything for his wedding — and he did it, with two weeks left to spare. Here's the list of everything; he even took into account things like magician (whom he hired after removing several things clearly not interesting for anyone presented): magician would distract people on banquet, resulting in them drinking less champagne and wasting less money, which they, in turn, would invest in a great salute. Gleb and Sophia are very thankful to him. Meanwhile, Sophia's patient would soon have her own wedding, and is too nervous due to literally nothing being prepared. She asks Sophia for a phone number of the guy who helped her with organisation. Wishing to help her, Polina asks Timur what they may do. Maybe, give her the list which he prepared for Gleb and Sophia? She's willing to pay for it (they may split the money 50/50), and since her wedding would be later than Sophia's, Sophia doesn't mind her copying it. Timur agrees, complimenting her cunning ability to find good ideas. But the patient (who introduces herself as Anastasia) isn't particularly impressed by the list of things prepared by Timur. That magician was previously hired by her sister, and robbed many people, without being caught in act; sneaky asshole. Musicians whom Timur hired for the wedding are not only much less "funny" and creative than he thinks, but also prone to spark drunk battles. And the cake he ordered? That bakery is so abysmal, it may turn out to be poisonous. The photographer? Unreliable. Toastmaster? He's a thief, too. Anastasia can collect the list like this by just browsing internet; it doesn't worth the money. Now, Sophia herself doubts that she can trust Timur: it seems that he did everything at literally the last moment, and botched everything. Realising that Sophia is in panic, Anastasia reveals that she... "slightly exaggerated" Timur's incompetence to avoid paying for his work (which was actually done well and professional). Unfortunately, Sophia already told Gleb, who in turn insulted Timur (who indeed never bothered to double-check), so badly that he's not sure whether they're still friends. Gleb is ready to apologise, but when he and Sophia sees Timur re-checking everything, thinking that he indeed let his friends down, they decides to not interrupt him now: they would apologise, but after Timur fixes all mistakes.
Kupitman starts a conflict with Lyuba, who isn't aware of the local customs. While normally serving the VIP patients before "normal" ones would be preferable (they pay for better service, after all), it's not how it works here: since VIP patients are Kupitman's prime source of money (do you really believe that it's his salary?), they should stay here for as long as possible without raising suspicions. Kupitman tells all this in a very angry tone of voice — also calling her out on insubordination; he isn't "Vanya", he is Ivan Natanovich, her boss! But she mistakes it for sexual roleplay, and starts playing along, resulting in you-know-what. While it was not what he meant, it actually extinguishes his wrath. Then Kupitman accuses Lyuba (and another nurse) of slacking. Lyuba takes all the blame and orders other one to leave, after which she again proceeds with seducing Kupitman, using the same scheme. But at some point, Kupitman starts noticing that Lyuba provokes him deliberately, to show her "who's boss here", and starts avoiding escalating conflicts with her. She screwed up? Nothing serious. She dropped one of his bottles? He can live with it. She tries more and more serious mistakes: ruins a clinical history with coffee; interrupts Kupitman while examining patient; and then starts blatantly slacking. Kupitman pretends that there's nothing to conflict about, but it becomes harder and harder to keep his anger under control. At home, Kupitman decides to try Lyuba's own method himself, and starts provoking Lyuba into sexual roleplay by insulting her cooking and house-keeping abilities, but only succeeds at genuinely offending her. But when he tries to apologise, Lyuba's anger suddenly turns into lust. She forgives him, and just changes roles: now, it's Kupitman's turn to be punished.
Gleb finds Polina and Alexei not only slacking, but openly disrespecting Bykov, thinking that he became "too weak" to scare or punish them properly. Gleb finds it offensive, since back in his time, behaving like this was downright suicidal, so he immediately rats them out to Bykov, who now wishes to prove that they are too quick to celebrate. As a punishment, Bykov forces Polina and Alexei to work "like bees" — without rest, faster, faster, even faster — until they gets completely exhausted. After Bykov forces them to run in one place as a punishment, Polina finally asks just what they did to deserve it — and learns about Gleb snitching on them. Alexei reveals to Bykov that Gleb has told him self-biased version of the story, and really it was Gleb who insulted Bykov, while they just sit there, waiting for new assignments after completing the old ones; Gleb badmouthed them after they pointed that Bykov was punishing him so regularly was no so much because he was so mean, but because Gleb was just that bad. Bykov believes them... and still forces to continue, as they're still slackers, and it's the only way to make them do their job. Then, to teach Gleb a lesson, Bykov lies to Kisegach that Gleb plans to kick her out of her house (he's registered here, so technically has some rights for it). She, in turn, informs Marina about the wedding, despite Gleb planning to tell her one week later (she's not invited). After telling this to Gleb, she angrily tells him to leave her office; she doesn't want to see him. When Gleb angrily confronts Bykov, Bykov points that Gleb did the same thing to Alexei and Polina. Only when Gleb agrees to publicly apologise, Bykov agrees to reveal the truth to Kisegach... only to find her wasted, and unwilling to see either of them.
This episode provides examples of:
- Drowning My Sorrows: After punishing Gleb for perceived betrayal (unaware that Bykov lied to her, exactly to make her punish Gleb), Kisegahc gets wasted to suppress her grief.
- Everyone Has Standards: While Bykov doesn't cancel the punishment on Polina and Alexei, believing that interns are too lazy to work until you force them, he still makes it clear that he doesn't like Gleb snitching on people, and punishes him by causing him problems with his mother, in a manner similar to him ratting interns out to Bykov.
- Gone Horribly Right: Bykov didn't count on Kisegach taking his lie about Gleb planning to backstab her that seriously; now, she's drowning her sorrows with alcohol to suppress the feeling of betrayal.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: Lyuba at several occasions uses Kupitman being angry at her to provoke "angry boss and his lousy subordinate" sexual roleplay. Kupitman recognises it on a third attempt and stops falling for it, but tries to invoke it intentionally back at home, by insulting Lyuba's abilities to cook and keep house. She misses his point and gets genuinely offended. {{Subverted|Trope}] in that Kupitman's attempts to apologise results in Lyuba's anger mutating into... lust. She forgives him, and just changes roles.
- Heel Realisation: Downplayed. While Timur didn't actually botch the list of recommendations (the person who told so lied to get it for free, Sophia's plans be damned), but he didn't double-check things either (meaning that things being fine is less him doing good job, and more him being lucky), and when he, believing that he indeed let down his friends, starts double-checking it now, Gleb and Sophia decides to only apologise for getting angry at him after he finishes.
- I Have No Son!: To teach Gleb a lesson why him badmouthing other people was bad, Bykov lies to Kisegach that Gleb plans to kick her out of her house (he technically has a means for this). Kisegach never directly states this, but her behaviour heavily implies that she completely believed Bykov — and now wants nothing to do with Gleb. When he tries to argue with her, she orders him to leave, pointing that this office for now is still hers. Then she gets drunk before Bykov manages to fix the situation.
- It's All About Me: Sophia's patient Anastasia tells to Timur that he did a terrible job organising the wedding, so there's nothing worth paying for copying the list of people he recommended — all so she may avoid paying him anything for it. She doesn't care that it nearly ruined Sophia's wedding, or her entire friendship with Timur, and doesn't apologise even after revealing the scheme.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: Bykov doesn't like Gleb's behaviour (depending on which version is true, he either snitched on interns, or lied to his boss to frame up other people), so he gives him a taste of his own medicine, by framing him up before his mother.
- "Rashomon"-Style: When Gleb notices Alexei and Polina slaking off and insulting Bykov behind his back, he tells so to Bykov. They then tells Bykov the other take on the story, where it was Gleb who insulted Bykov, and only rushed to Bykov when he was accused of being just dumb enough to always provoke Bykov's wrath. It's unclear which take of the story is right one, but it's implied that it was the second one, since Gleb suddenly defending Bykov is out-of-character for him (and conversely, him insulting Bykov behind his back and then making people suffer for calling him out on this is much closer to reality). And neither of the versions puts Gleb in positive light.
- The Stool Pigeon: Gleb happily rats out Alexei and Polina to Bykov. Depending on which version of events you would accept as real, it was either him ratting them out for insulting Bykov (which not even Bykov likes), or him ratting them out for a crime which he completely made up.
