Sophia tries to introduce Rita to "speed dating", stating that it just started being popular in Moscow, and that with good luck, she may even find someone. She wants to try, but is afraid to go alone. Rita refuses, stating that people who goes there are only interested in casual sex, but doesn't throw out the advertisement flier just yet. Lyuba later learns about this from Rita -- and feels insulted at not being invited. Sophia tries to defend herself, stating that she didn't expect that Lyuba is interested in this, but Lyuba says that it should've been obvious, given that she's ''still'' single. Sophia's attempt to counter that sounds dangerously close to her calling Lyuba "old", which enrages Lyuba enough to reject apologises and an invitation when Sophia finally offers her to join. But later, after discussing it with Rita, Lyuba, along with Rita herself, decides to try it after all, and goes to the club on their own, where they, to their mutual surprise, actually meets Sophia, who gathered enough courage to go by alone. They decides to give it a try, but each one jumps into one lame "date" after another, culminating with Sophia meeting no one else but her uncle Kupitman (who then meets Lyuba and notices Rita). They agrees that keeping it secret is in their mutual interest, though Lyuba considers going here again at some point, just by herself.

Maxim learns that Alexei just bought a new smartphone... too expensive for someone like him. Just where he obtained money for it? Alexei states that he has some second job, but doesn't specify what it is. Max starts suspecting just that kind of "job" that may be: he constantly receives calls from some girls, and Alexei insists that they aren't his girlfriends, "they just have sex together"; what if he's a prostitute? He shares this version with Sophia, and suggests to check themselves: Sophia would call from Maxim's phone and ask for a visit. When Alexei would come to the address they give him, they would confront him and inquire about his "job". But when they actually asks Lyosha, turns out that he's just a plumber... who sleeps with his female clients, cause why not? To not make it false call, and distract from awkwardness of the situation, Max asks him to help with water tap.

** When Lyuba calls Sophia out on not inviting her on SpeedDating (she invited only Rita), Sophia tries to defend herself by stating that she was unaware that Lyuba is interested; Lyuba counters this by stating that [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan her single status was clear enough clue by itself]]. Sophia then states that she thought that since it was inhabited mostly by youngsters, it wouldn't be interesting for Lyuba... who, predictably, interprets it as Sophia [[BerserkButton calling her old]], and refuses to forgive Sophia even after she apologises, and rejected her invitation.
** When asked by Rita why she didn't invite Lyuba (which offended her), Sophia states that she considers Lyuba being too old, and that Sophia would look like her daughter. Rita (who's about the same age as Lyuba) asks Sophia what she thinks about her. Sophia states that Rita would look like "older sister" or "aunt" -- which offends ''Rita'', since she's a "bad option, too, but at least better than Lyuba". Sophia fails to realise just what she said wrong.
* ExactWords: Bykov has an agreement with Gleb -- to not yell on Gleb in interns' presence. Bykov finds a solution: he forces interns to insert the earplugs, so they wouldn't hear a thing, and then yells insults at Gleb via intercom. Gleb tells him this ain't fair; Bykov's response? "We only agreed about interns, not the rest of the hospital".
* HintDropping: When Lyuba learns that Sophia didn't invite her on SpeedDating (but invited Rita) (which offended her), she gives Sophia a chance to save grace, and starts giving her hints about wanting to go somewhere to fight boredom, so Sophia would realise her mistake and invite her now. Sophia misses every single one, and Lyuba just tells her directly.

When Gleb abuses this rule way too much, Bykov finds a solution: he forces interns to insert the earplugs, so they wouldn't hear a thing, and then yells insults at Gleb via intercom.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bykov publicly humiliates Gleb to punish him, but it sabotages Kisegach's attempt to promote their hospital, so she starts (also publicly) chew out ''him''.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Sophia accidentally insults both Lyuba and Rita due to not thinking before saying, resulting in accidentally implying that they're old:
** She makes a mistake of telling Lyuba (who has ''major'' issues with being called "old") that there would be many youngsters, so she likely wouldn't be interested.
** When Rita takes offense at Sophia stating that Lyuba would look like Sophia's "mother" if they comes together, and asks what she would look like then, Sophia says that she would be "big sister or aunt", which Rita interprets as "still bad, but at least better than Lyuba". Naturally, she refuses to go with Sophia after that.



* LaserGuidedKarma: Gleb and Bykov have an agreement -- Bykov can't yell on Gleb or insult him in front of interns; however, Gleb [[LoopholeAbuse exploits it]] by always inviting interns when Bykov is about to chew him out. Eventually, Bykov gets fed up, and punishes him by humiliating him before ''literally everyone else but interns'', via intercom. This comes to bite Bykov in the ass, too, since it sabotages Kisegach's attempt to promote her hospital before representative from ministry, and she starts to yell on Bykov himself.

* LoopholeAbuse: Gleb has an agreement with Bykov, which prohibits Bykov from yelling at Gleb in interns's presence, or insult him.

After he started receiving multiple calls from some girls, and instead of specifying who they are, stated that they are "just girls with whom he has sex", Maxim jumps to the obvious conclusions that he likely works as a prostitute. He cooperates with Sophia, and them makes a fake call to check by themselves. In the end, it turns out that he works as a ''plumber''... but actually sleeps with several of his female clients, because why not, if they both wants it?

Bykov tears Gleb a new one right in front of interns for being late at work. Gleb isn’t amused, since this risk destroying their respect of him. Since Bykov obviously doesn't care, he stated what by insulting his (former) intern like this, Bykov shows what he isn't proud of his own work; he then reinforced this argument by stating what, by showing Gleb at least some respect (even if only in front of interns), Bykov shows them what their lives would be better after they finish internship, and it would motivate them to work harder. Bykov agreed... on condition, what ''without'' interns in sight, he would yell at Gleb ''even more''.

Sophia tries to introduce Rita to "speed dating", stating what it just started being popular in Moscow, and what who knows, she may even find someone. She wants to try, bu fears to go alone. Rita refused, stating what people who go there are only interested in casual sex, but din't throw out advertisement flier.

Maxim learns what Alexei just bought new smartphone... too expensive for someone like him. Just where he obtained money for it? Alexei states what he has some second job, but not what it is.

Gleb, knowing what Bykov can't yell on him in front of interns, started exploiting them, by always bringing them around whenever Bykov planned to start chewing him out. So, now Bykov can't punish him for screwing up with patient.

Lyuba learns what Sophia invited Rita on "speed dating"... but didn't invite Lyuba. Feeling insulted, she called Sophia out on this. Sophia, in her defence, stated what she didn't know Lyuba is even interested in this -- which didn't convinced Lyuba, who thinks it should be obvious, considering she's ''still'' unmarried. Sophia tried to defend herself, but only made Lyuba angrier, by accidentally implying what she's old -- ''major'' issue for Lyuba. Predictably, it enraged her enough to reject both apologises, and invitation Sophia gave her.

Maxim starts suspecting just what Alexei's "work" may be: he's constantly receives calls from some girls (about whom Alexei insists what they aren't his girlfriends, "they just have sex together"). What if he's prostitute? He shared his suspicions with Sophia, and suggested to check themselves: Sophia would call him from Maxim's phone and ask for a visit. And when Alexei would come, they would confront him about nature of his "job".

Bykov, realising he can't catch Gleb without interns to call him out on his screwups, found an alternate solution: he forced interns to insert earplugs... and ''then'' yelled insults at Gleb, via intercom.

Alexei arrived on yet another call, only to learn what it was made by Sophia and Maxim... who thinks he's prostitute. To their surprise, he's actually works as ''plumber''. Though he ''did'' slept with several of his female clients, because why not? Anyway, Maxim may actually use some plumber's help, with broken water tip, so it was not in wain after all.

Gleb called Bykov out on humiliating him before the whole hospital, but Bykov ignored his complaints, stating what their agreement is over (even if Gleb is "agree" to start following it's spirit and no longer cheat). In the middle of their discussion, Kisegach arrived: Bykov just sabotaged her attempts to promote their hospital before man from ministry (she stated they are like "big, nice family"), and now she wants to tear ''Bykov himself'' a new one. Gleb leaved in haste, barely holding his laugh.

Lyuba and Rita, after discussing "speed dating", decided to try it after all, and go in club Sophia suggested by themselves, only to meet Sophia, to their mutual surprise. They decided to give it a try after all, but each one jumped into one lame "date" after another, culminating with Sophia meeting no one else but her uncle, Kupitman (who then met Lyuba and noticed Rita). They agreed what keeping this secret is in their mutual interests, though Lyuba is interested in trying again sometime, just by herself.

Rita refused refuses at first, thinking what that people who go goes there are only interested in casual sex.

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Rita, Lyuba and Sophia's attempt to try SpeedDating resulted results in a streak of several terrible dates:
** First one whom Rita met was intelligent... but meets seems to be intelligent man... [[MyBelovedSmother was who's controlled by his mother via phone]], ''even here''.

Added DiffLines:

Bykov tears Gleb a new one right in front of interns for being late at work. Gleb isn’t amused, since this risk destroying their respect of him. Since Bykov obviously doesn't care, he stated what by insulting his (former) intern like this, Bykov shows what he isn't proud of his own work; he then reinforced this argument by stating what, by showing Gleb at least some respect (even if only in front of interns), Bykov shows them what their lives would be better after they finish internship, and it would motivate them to work harder. Bykov agreed... on condition, what ''without'' interns in sight, he would yell at Gleb ''even more''.

Sophia tries to introduce Rita to "speed dating", stating what it just started being popular in Moscow, and what who knows, she may even find someone. She wants to try, bu fears to go alone. Rita refused, stating what people who go there are only interested in casual sex, but din't throw out advertisement flier.

Maxim learns what Alexei just bought new smartphone... too expensive for someone like him. Just where he obtained money for it? Alexei states what he has some second job, but not what it is.

Gleb, knowing what Bykov can't yell on him in front of interns, started exploiting them, by always bringing them around whenever Bykov planned to start chewing him out. So, now Bykov can't punish him for screwing up with patient.

Lyuba learns what Sophia invited Rita on "speed dating"... but didn't invite Lyuba. Feeling insulted, she called Sophia out on this. Sophia, in her defence, stated what she didn't know Lyuba is even interested in this -- which didn't convinced Lyuba, who thinks it should be obvious, considering she's ''still'' unmarried. Sophia tried to defend herself, but only made Lyuba angrier, by accidentally implying what she's old -- ''major'' issue for Lyuba. Predictably, it enraged her enough to reject both apologises, and invitation Sophia gave her.

Maxim starts suspecting just what Alexei's "work" may be: he's constantly receives calls from some girls (about whom Alexei insists what they aren't his girlfriends, "they just have sex together"). What if he's prostitute? He shared his suspicions with Sophia, and suggested to check themselves: Sophia would call him from Maxim's phone and ask for a visit. And when Alexei would come, they would confront him about nature of his "job".

Bykov, realising he can't catch Gleb without interns to call him out on his screwups, found an alternate solution: he forced interns to insert earplugs... and ''then'' yelled insults at Gleb, via intercom.

Alexei arrived on yet another call, only to learn what it was made by Sophia and Maxim... who thinks he's prostitute. To their surprise, he's actually works as ''plumber''. Though he ''did'' slept with several of his female clients, because why not? Anyway, Maxim may actually use some plumber's help, with broken water tip, so it was not in wain after all.

Gleb called Bykov out on humiliating him before the whole hospital, but Bykov ignored his complaints, stating what their agreement is over (even if Gleb is "agree" to start following it's spirit and no longer cheat). In the middle of their discussion, Kisegach arrived: Bykov just sabotaged her attempts to promote their hospital before man from ministry (she stated they are like "big, nice family"), and now she wants to tear ''Bykov himself'' a new one. Gleb leaved in haste, barely holding his laugh.

Lyuba and Rita, after discussing "speed dating", decided to try it after all, and go in club Sophia suggested by themselves, only to meet Sophia, to their mutual surprise. They decided to give it a try after all, but each one jumped into one lame "date" after another, culminating with Sophia meeting no one else but her uncle, Kupitman (who then met Lyuba and noticed Rita). They agreed what keeping this secret is in their mutual interests, though Lyuba is interested in trying again sometime, just by herself.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* BrickJoke: Near beginning of the episode, Rita refused to go on SpeedDating, stating what people here just trying to find some casual sex and nothing more. When she actually went on it towards the end of episode, second man she met ''started'' by asking for her phone number, before ''[[SkewedPriorities even introducing himself]]''. She rejected him on the spot.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper:
** When Lyuba called Sophia out on not inviting her on SpeedDating (she invited only Rita), Sophia tried defend herself by stating she was unaware what Lyuba is interested; Lyuba countered this by stating what [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan her single status was clear enough sing by itself]]. Sophia then stated what she thought what since it was inhabited mostly by youngsters, it wouldn't be interesting for Lyuba... who, predictably, interpreted it as Sophia [[BerserkButton calling her old]], and refused to forgive Sophia even after she apologised, and rejected her invitation.
** When asked by Rita why she didn't invited Lyuba (which offended her), Sophia stated she considers Lyuba being too old, and what Sophia would look like her daughter. Rita (who's about the same age as Lyuba) asked Sophia what she thinks about her. Sophia stated Rita would look like "older sister" or "aunt" -- which offended ''Rita'', since she's "bad option, too, but at least better than Lyuba". Sophia failed to realise just what she said wrong.
* ExactWords: Bykov had an agreement with Gleb -- to not yell on Gleb in interns' presence. Bykov found solution -- he forced interns to insert earplugs, so they wouldn't hear a thing, and then yelled insults at Gleb via intercom. Gleb told him this ain't fair; Bykov's response?
-->'''Bykov''': ''"We only agreed about interns; not the rest of the hospital"''.
* HintDropping: When Lyuba learned what Sophia didn't invited her on SpeedDating (but invited Rita) (which offended her), she gave Sophia chance to save grace, and started giving her hints about wanting to go somewhere to fight boredom, so Sophia would realise her mistake and invite her now. Sophia missed every single one, and Lyuba just told her outright.
* InternalReveal: Maxim and Sophia learn about Alexei's side-work as plumber.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After Gleb [[LoopholeAbuse exploited his agreement with Bykov]] (Bykov can't yell on him in interns' presence) for too long, Bykov punished him by humiliating him before ''everyone but interns'', via intercom.
