History Recap / TheInternsS10E5

* {{Foreshadowing}}: There's a very good reason why Maxim is so secretive when introducing himself...

Ilya consumes all coins from Bykov's money cup. Since Bykov is too busy leading his son to the doctor, he temporarily assigns Lyuba to command interns.

Now, interns finally have time to properly introduce themselves. Maxim Korneev is a rich guy from St. Petersburg... and that's all what he's willing to tell right now. Alexei tries to introduce himself, but Maxim, expecting another round of "excursion to Torzhok", tells him to shut up. Maxim then tries to press Sophia into revealing more about herself (in rather rude manner), but she's in bad mood due to hangover, so he only learns that her father is named Yakov. This, in turn, leads to conflict between Maxim and Alexei, who is not amused by Maxim constantly tries to show that Lyosha is "inferior" to him and Sophia. They gets interrupted by Gleb, who, after learning why they are here, asks Lyuba to "borrow" them for a while. She has no idea what to do with them anyway, so she agrees. Gleb decides to make the best out of the situation, and, in cooperation with Semyon deceives interns that they must prepare a "presentation" for Bykov, which would tell about their personalities and previous achievements.

Bykov and Kisegach arrives into emergency centre to help Ilya. The doctor discovers that he didn't consume any coins, but he decides to falsify report and call child service department, as the parents' look and behaviour suspiciously resembles yet another horrible family of alcoholics. Meanwhile, Kisegach calls their babysitter, and learns that she'd moved all coins to a different place, specifically to prevent the situation like this, but forgot to warn the parents. Unfortunately, the child service inspector doesn't believe Bykov right away, and they have to show their living conditions. Bykov, being in bad mood, nearly sabotages everything by constant rude and sarcastic remarks, but they barely manages to convince inspector to leave them alone for now -- though they still would be put on the watch list, just in case.

Phil learns about this from Sophia, and points to Gleb potential consequences of his prank: if they overdo it, Bykov may kick new interns out... and return to abusing the old ones. The friends tries to call the prank off, but Maxim takes it as the "classic two-steps prank" (tell the truth first, then trick into believing that it was a lie, and watch for fallout), and decides the the "presentation" is indeed mandatory. Meanwhile, Kupitman tries to "help" Sophia with her hangover, by giving her more alcohol, but accidentally makes her drunk again. While drunk, she reveals that she ''really'' hates her hometown, Kirov, where she was under constant control over her overprotective father Yakov. Kupitman doesn't care, but Max and Lyosha must bring her into adequate state before anyone finds out. Maxim manages to fool Yakov by pretending to be Sophia's mentor over the phone, but for Bykov, they would need to cooperate. By the evening, Bykov finally appears, and while he doesn't know why they bothered, decides to watch their "presentations". Alexei tries to set up "Torzhok-TV" news, about him being the last hope of Torzhok medicine. Maxim makes an attempt into dramatic poetry. And Sophia, with boys' help, showcases "human puppet" show, with sudden confetti final. After that, Bykov finally understands everything, and tells them that it was a prank. At the worst moment possible, Yakov calls again; Bykov angrily tells him that he's busy, and hangs up, only for Yakov to call ''again'' right after he leaves.

* AbuseMistake: Bykov and Kisegach goes to emergency centre due to Ilya, presumably, consuming some coins by accident. The doctor mistakes Bykov for abusive alcoholic because, firstly, Kisegach acts very submissive, and Bykov acts [[AxCrazy very aggressive, nearly violently]], both to her and the doctor; secondly, they both are poorly clothe (they had no time to dress properly before rushing to the doctor); thirdly, the whole situation reminds him about countless other abusive alcoholics he deals with on regular basis; and finally, Bykov has tattoos, which are stereotypically [[TattooedCrook associated with criminals]].

* AxCrazy: When they brings Ilya into emergency centre, Bykov (who, because of this whole situation, was forced to interrupt his sleep, not to mention heavy hangover) acts ''very'' rude and loud, causally threatening to kill doctor if he would waste his time any longer. Predictably, he gets mistook for psycho and, potentially, [[DomesticAbuser domestic abuser]], after which the doctor calls the child service department. Later Bykov actually goes "close and personal" with him when doctor refuses to give Ilya back, which only serves to prove the doctor's point.

* ControlFreak: Sophia's father ''must'' control his daughter's every step (as she states, her life before internship consisted only of home and studying, studying and home). Even here, he constantly calls either her or his cousin Kupitman in order to check that everything goes according to his standards. Naturally, she jumped at first opportunity to do something which was normally prohibited, like go clubbing and get drunk... with disastrous consequences.

* DudeNotFunny: Sophia doesn't react well to Maxim mocking her father's name (Yakov, or, as he calls him, "Yasha", which he considers to be a perfect name for a jester), and tells him to stop "touching" her father or herself. When Maxim asks her wether it's okay to "touch" her uncle (only to immediately joke that it's not a good idea to touch venereologist), even Alexei objects.

* LargeHam: Maxim's overly dramatic "poetry" about him being thankful to Bykov for being accepted into internship, [[ChewingTheScenery with over-the-top acting]] and [[MilkingTheGiantCow gratuitous gestures]]. Bykov is unimpressed.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Phil takes Kupitman's refusal to answer any question regarding him mistreating Sophia (while other interns tried to help her instead of him) as a sign that Kupitman ''does'' feel shame over being a bad uncle, which means, not all is lost.

* PetTheDog: Maxim mostly acts like a jerk to everyone around him, but he ''does'' help Sophia when her father calls, by impersonating her mentor and stating that "she's too busy to answer; call later, when her shift is over". This protects Sophia from revealing that she's drunk to [[ControlFreak Yakov]].

* ThePrankster: Gleb tricks intern into thinking that they must prepare a "presentation" of themselves to Bykov. Maxim suspects that something is wrong, and suggests to ask Lyuba... who's already a part of Gleb's plan. Bykov later lets them make a fools out of themselves, and only ''then'' explains that Gleb and Semyon have pranked them, stating that they should be less naive, or everyone would exploit them.

* PreemptiveShutUp: Maxim clearly expected what Alexei would use his introduction to [[SingleIssueWonk talk about Torzhok]], and cuts him off preemptively, stating that they know this already, no need to repeat.

Ilya consumed all coins from Bykov's cup. Since Bykov is too busy leading his son to the doctor, task of commanding interns falls on Lyuba.

Now, interns finally have time to properly introduce themselves. Maxim Korneev is rich guy from St. Petersburg... and that's all he's willing to tell right now. Alexei tried to introduce himself, but Maxim, expecting another round of "excursion to Torzhok", told him to shut up. Maxim then tried to press Sophia into revealing more about herself (in rather rude manner), but only learned what her father is called Yakov. This, in turn, led to conflict between Maxim and Alexei, who is not amused by Maxim constantly pointing out his and Sophia's "superiorness" to Alexei. They were interrupted by Gleb, who, after learning they are here, asked Lyuba to "borrow" them for a while. She has no idea what to do with them anyway, so she agrees.

Bykov and Kisegach are in emergency centre, trying to eject coins from Ilya. Unfortunately, doctor, basing on their behaviour (Bykov is [[AxCrazy very aggressive and near-violent]], Kisegach looks almost broken), poor clothes, Bykov's [[TattooedCrook tattoos]] and whole situation reminding him about his previous (mainly alcoholic) "clients", so he called child service department.

Gleb cooperated with Semyon to make best use out of "their" interns. Gleb has an idea: he lied to them what every newbie must prepare "presentation" of themselves and their previous achievements.

Traumatologist whom Bykov asked for help, decided it would be best to falsify scanning results (he ''didn't'' found any coins), so baby would be taken by child service department. Meanwhile, Kisegach called their babysitter... and learned what she moved all coins to different place specifically to avoid situation like this, but forgot to warn Ilya's parents. Now, Bykov must deal with child service department.

Phil (who learned about "presentation" from Sophia) pointed out to Gleb potential consequences of Gleb's prank: if they overdo it, Bykov would kick old intern out... and proceed back into abusing old ones. Unfortunately, Maxim interpreted Gleb and Semyon talking him out of doing presentation as classic "double-steps prank" (when you firstly give away the truth, then "explains" what this was fake, so people wouldn't do something they should), and decided what "presentation" is real requirement, after all.

Knowing he has no other way, Kupitman proceed to "help" Sophia with her hellish hangover by giving her more alcohol, so she would be at least partially ready to work... and only succeed at making her drunk again. While drunk, she revealed to him just ''how'' she hates her hometown, Kirov, where she was under constant control by her overprotective dad, Yakov. Unfortunately, while Kupitman seemingly doesn't care, Alexei and Maxim must somehow bring her into adequate state before Bykov or Sophia's father would find out. Maxim did the latter by impersonating Sophia's mentor, but they still have something to do with he former. All of them.

Bykov and Kisegach (despite Bykov nearly sabotaging everything by his behaviour) barely dealt with chid service department, and it's time to see "presentations" (Bykov doesn't know why interns even bothered, but why not?). Alexei made his own looks like some sort of TV news, "Torzhok-TV", abut him being Torzhok's medicine's last hope. Maxim proceed with some "dramatic" poetry reading. And Sophia (with boys' help) showcased some "human puppet" show, with sudden confetti final. Only then Bykov explained what they were victims of the prank. And ''then'', at worst moment possible, Sophia's father called again... and this time it's Bykov who answered. Bykov in rather rude manner explained to him what they are busy, and hanged up... only for Yakov to call again when Bykov leaved. Oops...

* AbuseMistake: Doctor whom Bykov asked to help to eject coins from his son (Ilya presumably accidentally consumed them) mistook him for abusive alcoholic, because a) Kisegach acts very submissive, while Bykov acts very [[AxCrazy aggressive]], both to her and doctor; b) they are poorly clothed (since they rushed to the doctor with whatever clothes they have on); c) whole situation reminds him about countless abusive alcoholics he dealt with before; and d) Bykov has tattoos, which, in Russia, stereotypically ''heavily'' associated with [[TattooedCrook criminals]].
* ArbitrarySkepticism: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Gleb when Maxim (correctly) started doubting what Bykov ''really'' needs "presentation"; he asked what they did on [[CallBack previous days]], and Alexei mentioned several weird "challenges", which seemingly proved Gleb's point.
* AxCrazy: When they brought Ilya into emergency centre, Bykov (who, because of this whole story, was forced to interrupt his sleep, not to mention heavy hangover) acted ''very'' rude and loud, causally threatening to kill doctor if he would waste his time any longer. Predictably, he was mistook for psycho and, potentially, DomesticAbuser, after which doctor called child service department. Later Bykov actually went "close and personal" with him after doctor refused to give Ilya back, which only served to prove doctor's point.
* CassandraTruth: When Phil pointed out potential consequences of Gleb's prank, Gleb tried to talk interns out of doing "presentation"... but Maxim took it as confirmation what "presentation" requirement is real, and ''this'' was real prank.
* ControlFreak: Sophia's father ''must'' control his daughter's every step (as she stated, her life before internship consisted only of home and studying, studying and home). Even here, he constantly calls either her or his cousin Kupitman in order to check what everything goes according to his standards. Naturally, she jumped at first opportunity to do something which was normally prohibited... with disastrous consequences.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Gleb and Semyon ignored him calling their "presentation" prank cruel, Phil pointed out what if they overdo it and Bykov would be particularly enraged, he would kick all new interns out and proceed to abusing his old ones. Memories are still too fresh, so Gleb agreed with him and decided to if not stop, then at least reduce damage from their prank.
* DudeNotFunny: Sophia didn't reacted well to Maxim mocking her father's name (Yakov, or, as he called him, "Yasha", which he considered perfect name for a jester), and told him to stop "touching" her father or herself. When Maxim asked her wether it's okay to "touch" her uncle (only to immediately joking what it's not good idea to touch venereologist), even Alexei objected.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Maxim being so stealthy when he introduced himself would become important much later.
* LargeHam: Maxim's overly dramatic "poetry" about him being thankful to Bykov for being accepted into internship, [[ChewingTheScenery with over-the-top acting]] and [[MilkingTheGiantCow gratuitous gestures]]. Bykov was unimpressed.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Phil took Kupitman's refusal to answer any question regarding him mistreating Sophia (while other interns tried to help her instead of him) as a sign what Kupitman ''does'' feel shame over being bad uncle, which means, not all is lost.
* NotHelpingYourCase: Bykov did everything to sabotage Kisegach's attempts to prove to child service department's representative what they ''are'' normal family: his [[AxCrazy aggressive, sometimes violent behaviour]], him forgetting to take out trash (which contained empty alcohol bottles -- just after they were accused of being alcoholics). Then, when representative started questioning them about conditions in which their son lives, Bykov started giving sarcastic answers such as "Where Ilya sleeps? We put him out of the window!". While baby was not taken away, they were put on the list of potential risks, just in case.
* PetTheDog: Maxim mostly acts like a jerk to everyone around him, but he ''did'' helped Sophia when her father called, by impersonating her mentor and stating what "she's too busy to answer; call later, when her shift is over". This protected Sophia from revealing what she's drunk to [[ControlFreak Yakov]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: Had Ilya's babysitter bothered to warn Kisegach and Bykov about moving those coins in the different place, ''whole episode's plot'' would have been averted.
* TheProudElite: Maxim. He likes to point out what he is rich, well-connected and well-educated, despite -- or maybe even [[{{Jerkass}} because]] -- it highly contrasts with Alexei being simple provincial guy with nothing flashy to brag about.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: After three episodes, Maxim and Alexei are finally properly introduced; considering three previous episodes were devoted to actually choosing who would stay and who wouldn't, this is justified by them being concentrated on their survival rather than socialisation.
* ShootTheDog: Traumatologist whom Bykov asked to help inject coins from Ilya (who accidentally swallowed them) didn't found any, but falsified scanning results to have excuse to take Ilya away from people he considered to be unfit for parenthood (he mistook them for alcoholics, and specifically Bykov -- for [[AxCrazy aggressive, violent abuser]] with criminal past and possibly present).
* SingleIssueWonk: {{Defied|Trope}}; Maxim clearly expected what Alexei would use his introduction to talk about Torzhok, and cut him off preemptively, stating what they know this already, no need to repeat.
* TattooedCrook: If Bykov's behaviour made him look like [[AxCrazy dangerously aggressive alcoholic]], his tattoos made doctor think he may also be former (if not current) criminal. [[note]]Old stereotype which just refuses to die, which was born thanks to criminals using crude tattoos to distinguish themselves; now, people have hard time to adjust to the fact what not ''all'' tattoos are criminal-related[[/note]]
* TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: {{Averted|Trope}} with Sophia; she ''hates'' Kirov and would do anything to avoid returning home: here, in Moscow, she can live freely, while in Kirov she lived under constant control from her parents, with no personal life whatsoever.
* {{Troll}}: Gleb tricked intern into thinking they must prepare "presentation" of themselves to Bykov. Maxim was only one to suspect what something is wrong, and suggested to ask Lyuba... who was already part of Gleb's plan. Bykov later let them make a fools out of themselves, and only ''then'' explained what Gleb and Semyon pranked them, stating what they should be less naive, or everyone would exploit them.
-->'''Bykov''': ''"You're in jungle now, and every funny animal out here wants to use you for their sick fun"''.

* ArbitraryScepticism: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Gleb when Maxim (correctly) started doubting what Bykov ''really'' needs "presentation"; he asked what they did on [[CallBack previous days]], and Alexei mentioned several weird "challenges", which seemingly proved Gleb's point.
