Rita is so convince that she and Lyosha are together, she even started packing food for him. Lyosha... just wants to find a way to get away from her, before Rita starts insisting on them marrying; and if Alexei tries to dump her, her father likely would kill him. Unfortunately, Timur has no idea for his situation. But then Timur comes up with idea: provoke Rita into dumping Lyosha on her own initiative. The simplest option is to cheat on her. But Alexei thinks that she would tell her father, and he would kill Lyosha for that. Timur suggests another plan: provoke Rita into cheating on Lyosha, then dump her for that; but Alexei finds a reason for Rita's father to shoot him even in that situation, which makes Timur realise that Alexei has issues not so much with Rita, as with her "killer father", and must talk wit ''him'' instead, and explain the situation before it goes violent. When Alexei insists that ''even this'' would result in him dying, Timur gets fed up, and says that he's either paranoidal, or seeking excuses to ''not'' dump Rita. Alexei decides to indeed just tell Rita as is... only for Rita's father to appear, just like in his visions (indeed with as shotgun; he just bought new one, and wants to brag). Naturally, he doesn't take the risk. And then Pavel leaves the shotgun with Rita for a time being, so it wouldn't be safe even in his absence. Not knowing what else to say, he panics and... admits his "feelings" to Rita.
Today, Bykov has two patients -- and three available doctors (okay, one doctor and two interns), so one patient would be treated by two of them. Suddenly, Polina and Sophia volunteers to work together. When they leaves, Bykov warns Gleb (who thought that it just a sign of them being best friends) that this is a ''very'' dangerous situation: soon, Sophia would tell Polina ''everything'' about Gleb, every single dirty secret, even most humiliating ones. Gleb asks Sophia to cut up a little on time she spends with Polina, and, more importantly, the information she shares with her. Sophia claims that she never shared any of their secrets... which is actually a lie; she already shared one particularly embarrassing story about which he specifically asked to keep it secret: that one when Gleb failed to perform in bed after getting wasted in a karaoke-bar. Later, Sophia listens music through her earphones, quietly mumbling in music's rhythm. When Gleb calls her out on this, saying that "we are not at karaoke-bar!", Polina fails to hide a short burst of laugh, which Gleb notices. Gleb immediately realises that Sophia lied about not sharing his secrets with Polina (especially since Polina, after trying to quietly leave, explodes with laugh the instant she exits, loudly enough to still being heard). Now Gleb would only forgive Sophia if she would share some of Polina's secrets: this would ensure that Polina wouldn't try anything funny, out of fear of mutually assured destruction. Sophia reluctantly tells him one she just remembered -- Polina's sex with Timur, which happened twice already. Polina decides that it was Timur who told this to Gleb, and calls him out on being exactly the same sleazy asshole she remembers; she thought that they may start anew, but now she no longer wants to see him ever again. Timur doesn't know why she acts this way, but notices the most important part: that she indeed considered to start anew. Now, he just needs to prove his innocence. Sophia sees that Polina now blames Timur, and reveals that it was her who told Gleb. Polina takes it rather well, and feels relived that it was ''not'' Timur.
Phil now thinks that Katia would ''certainly'' dump him. Timur points that it was partly his fault: he was way too quick to reveal the information about his parents, instead of waiting a little longer until she would trust him enough to take even this hit. He also thinks that not all is lost yet, and Phil should call her and invite to a serious talk. Meanwhile, Phil's fathers, for the first time in many years, have a conflict so strong, it may cause divorce, so Phil has to rush to USA to help them. Kupitman agrees to let him go. Phil calls Polina to inform her that he should cancel their meeting, since he needs to visit his parents before it's too late. Suddenly, at the last moment Katia appears in his house, and tells that she would go with him. She wants to make up for her previous behaviour, and to meet Phil's parents; if they raised such a good man, it means that they are not as bad as she thought before. And... she loves him.
Kupitman, just before accepting new patient, decides to drink a little -- and notices that someone drunk a little from one of his bottles; subtle, but enough for him to notice. But who? He asks the patient wether he was visited before that, and patient remembers someone fitting Bykov's description. Kupitman, to show how rude it was, demonstratively takes Bykov's food and starts eating it in front of him -- only for Bykov to point that the smell of alcohol can't disappear after just fifteen minutes (exact time between his visit to Kupitman), meaning that it was not him. Also, it was not Bykov's food, it was Lyosha's. Kupitman decides to leave his office, and see who would visit it in his absence, expecting that the thievery wouldn't be one-time event. And indeed, the thief soon shows up again... and it's Kisegach. Or is she? When he tries to demonstratively steal some snacks out of her office, ignoring presence of potential sponsors, Kisegach angrily reveals that she was searching for ''Kupitman himself'', to discuss his vacancy; with attitude like this, it would be in February instead of Summer, at best. But when Kupitman returns, turns out that someone stole ''even more'' of his cognac. Kupitman decides to just hide in closet and catch the thief red-handed, but falls asleep and fails to intercept the thief. Kupitman decides to install new locks in his office -- only to learn that the "thief" was... Lyuba. She needed something to pay their alcoholic electrician, who only takes the payment in booze. Kupitman agrees to forgive her, on condition that the next time, she would warn him: it's not about cognac, it's about trust!

Today, Bykov has two patients -- and three available doctors (okay, one doctor and two interns), so one patient would be treated by two of them. Suddenly, Polina and Sophia volunteered to work together. When they leaved, Bykov warned Gleb (who thought it just sign of them being best friends) what this is ''very'' dangerous situation: soon, Sophia would tell Polina ''everything'' about Gleb, every single dirty secret, even most humiliating ones.
Phil now thinks what Katia would ''certainly'' dump him. Timur pointed what it was partly his fault: he was way too quick to reveal information about his parents, instead of waiting a little longer until she would trust him enough to take even this hit. He also thinks what not all is lost yet, and Phil should call her and invite to serious talk.
Kupitman, just before accepting new patient, decided to drink a little -- and noticed what someone drink a little from one of his bottles; subtle, but much enough for him to notice. But who? He asked patient wether he was visited before that, and patient remembered someone fitting Bykov's description. Kupitman, to show how rude it was, demonstratively took Bykov's food and started eating it in front of him -- only for Bykov to point what smell of alcohol can't disappear after just fifteen minutes (exact time between his visit to Kupitman), meaning, it was not him. Also, it was not Bykov's food, it was Lyosha's.
Gleb asked Sophia to cut up a little on time she spends with Polina, and, more importantly, information she shares with her. Sophia claimed what she never shared any of their secret.

Timur's new plan involves provoking Rita into cheating on Alexei, but Alexei managed to ''even here'' find a way how Rita's father would interpret it as an excuse to shot Alexei (him being "terrible husband and weak man"), which made Timur realising what Alexei has issues not so much with Rita, but with her "father-killer". He needs to talk with him instead and explain the situation before it becomes violent. After Alexei managed to find a way how even that would result in his death, Timur fed up with him and just accused him of either being paranoidal, or, deep inside, not wanting to dump Rita.
Sophia listens music through her earphones, quietly mumbling in music's rhythm. After he called her out on this, saying what "we are not at karaoke-bar!", Polina failed to hide short burst of laugh, which Gleb didn't miss. What so funny? Gleb immediately realised what Sophia lied about not sharing his secrets with Polina (especially since Polina, after trying to quietly leave, exploded with laugh the instant she exited, loudly enough to still being heard). Now Gleb would only forgive Sophia if she would share some Polina's secrets: this would ensure what Polina wouldn't try anything funny, out of fear of mutually assured destruction. Sophia reluctantly told him one she just remembered -- Polina's sex with Timur, which happened twice already.
Kupitman decided to look who would visit his office without him, expecting what this thievery was not one-time event. And indeed, thief showed up again; it was... Kisegach. Or was she? When he tried to demonstratively stealing snacks out of her office, ignoring presence of potential sponsor, Kisegach angrily revealed what she searched for Kupitman himself, to discuss his vacancy. And now, with attitude like this, it would be not in Summer, but in February, at best. Unfortunately, while he was away from the office, someone stole ''even more'' of his cognac. Kupitman decided to hide in closet and see who would come by, to catch them red-handed... only to fell asleep and failing to catch the culprit when they leaved.
Polina decided what it was Timur who told everything to Gleb, and called him out on being exactly that same sleazy asshole she remembers; she thought they may start everything anew, but now she no longer wants to see him near her. Timur doesn't know why she acts this way, but he didn't miss crucial part of her words: she indeed considered starting anew. All he needs to prove his innocence now.
Phil called Polina to inform her what he should cancel their meeting, since he needs to visit his parents before it's too late. Suddenly, at the last moment Katia appeared at his house, informing what she would go with him. She wants to make up for her previous behaviour, and to meet Phil's parents: if they raised such good man, they they are not as bad as she thought earlier. And... she loves him.
Kupitman decided to install new locks in his office -- only to learn what the "thief" was... Lyuba. She needed "payment" for their alcoholic electrician, and he accepts only alcohol. Kupitman agreed to forgive her, but only if she would warn him next time: the cost was much greater than merely bottle of cognac.
After realising what Polina blames Timur, Sophia revealed her role in it. To her surprise, Polina took it rather well... and was relieved what it was ''not'' Timur.
Alexei decided to just tell Rita as is, what they should break up... only for Rita's father to appear, this time ''actually'' with the shotgun (he just bought it and wants to brag). Naturally, he didn't take the risk -- not near him. And then Pavel decided to leave it with Rita for a time being, meaning what it wouldn't be possible even without him.
Today, Bykov has two patients -- and three available doctors (okay, one doctor and two interns), so one patient would be treated by two of them. Suddenly, Polina and Sophia volunteered to work together. When they leaved, Bykov warned Gleb (who thought it just sign of them being best friends) what this is ''very'' dangerous situation: soon, Sophia would tell Polina ''everything'' about Gleb, every single dirty secret, even most humiliating ones.
Phil now thinks what Katia would ''certainly'' dump him. Timur pointed what it was partly his fault: he was way too quick to reveal information about his parents, instead of waiting a little longer until she would trust him enough to take even this hit. He also thinks what not all is lost yet, and Phil should call her and invite to serious talk.
Kupitman, just before accepting new patient, decided to drink a little -- and noticed what someone drink a little from one of his bottles; subtle, but much enough for him to notice. But who? He asked patient wether he was visited before that, and patient remembered someone fitting Bykov's description. Kupitman, to show how rude it was, demonstratively took Bykov's food and started eating it in front of him -- only for Bykov to point what smell of alcohol can't disappear after just fifteen minutes (exact time between his visit to Kupitman), meaning, it was not him. Also, it was not Bykov's food, it was Lyosha's.
Gleb asked Sophia to cut up a little on time she spends with Polina, and, more importantly, information she shares with her. Sophia claimed what she never shared any of their secret. Unknowingly to Gleb, it was a lie, and she already shared one particularly embarrassing story he specifically asked not to -- that one when he failed to perform in bed after being too drunk after karaoke-bar.

Unfortunately, Timur has no idea for his situation.
situation. But then Timur comes up with idea: provoke Rita into dumping Lyosha on her own initiative. The simplest option is to cheat on her. But Alexei thinks that she would tell her father, and he would kill Lyosha for that. Timur suggests another plan: provoke Rita into cheating on Lyosha, then dump her for that; but Alexei finds a reason for Rita's father to shoot him even in that situation, which makes Timur realise that Alexei has issues not so much with Rita, as with her "killer father", and must talk wit ''him'' instead, and explain the situation before it goes violent. When Alexei insists that ''even this'' would result in him dying, Timur gets fed up, and says that he's either paranoidal, or seeking excuses to ''not'' dump Rita. Alexei decides to indeed just tell Rita as is... only for Rita's father to appear, just like in his visions (indeed with as shotgun; he just bought new one, and wants to brag). Naturally, he doesn't take the risk. And then Pavel leaves the shotgun with Rita for a time being, so it wouldn't be safe even in his absence.

* ImagineSpot: Throughout his discussion with Timur how Alexei can get away from Rita, Lyosha imagined several iterations of him dumping (or provoking her to dump him) Rita... and being shot with shotgun by her father.

* DiabolusExMachina:Timur thinks what in In Alexei's "explanations" why he can't safely dump Rita (or force her to dump him), ''every single time'' it resulted in her father, Pavel Nickolaevich, Nicolaevich, appearing out of nowhere with loaded shotgun, and, after ridiculous PreMortemOneLiner, killing him with one blast; in sole example where father didn't doesn't do this because Alexei started with talking with him, he was gets shot by Rita instead.
instead. Timur calls him out on how idiotic it looks.

it?
* EntertaininglyWrong: Polinawas is right what that someone sold her secret (her sleeping with Timur) to Gleb... but it was not Timur, whom she accused of bragging about his sexual achievements, but Sophia, with whom she shared this secret.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Every single hypothetical scenario of breaking up with Rita [[DiabolusExMachina somehow]]resulted results in him being killed by Rita's father (a hunter with a shotgun) or even Rita herself. When he collected gathers enough courage to actually try, Rita's father appeared appears with a shotgun for real, then leaved leaves it with Rita. Alexei decided decides to not test his luck.
* HasTwoDaddies:Plot The plot point is what Phil that Phil's fathers may lost one of them; break up; after so many years, they had a conflict so strong, they are on the brink of divorce, and Phil desperately needs to rush in USA to help them mend their relationship. To Phil's surprise, at the very last moment Katia decided decides to return and go with him, to see his family and learn first-hand what that yes, gays are people too.
* HeelRealisation: After much thinking, Katiarealised realises after all what that she indeed was prejudiced, and decided decides to go with Phil to his parents, to visit his parents; she doesn't know them, but she knows Phil, so if they managed to raise such good man, than they should be good people, too.
* ImagineSpot: Throughout his discussion with Timur how Alexei canget away from break up with Rita, Lyosha imagined imagins several iterations of him dumping (or provoking her to dump him) Rita... and being shot with a shotgun by her father. In one the sole example where Alexei was ''not'' shot by Pavel, he was shot by ''Rita''.
Pavel ''doesn't'' shoot at Alexei, Rita does that instead.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Sophiatried tries to deny sharing information about Gleb's embarrassment incident (that one which involved karaoke-bar), despite just shortly before hand Polina almost chocked trying to hide her laugh after hearing comment about karaoke near Gleb. Then Polina, who just quietly leaved, exploded explodes with a laugh right outside of on-call room, loudly enough to still being heard.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Had Lyuba informed Kupitman about needing to borrow some of his booze (their electrician only accepts alcohol as a "payment" for his work), Kupitman wouldn't lost his vacancy due to conflict with Kisegach (whom he mistook for a thief).He was He's not even angry at taking his alcohol by itself, but specifically Lyuba not warning him.
* PutOnABus: Phil temporarily leaves to USA at the end of the episode, along with Katia.
* RunningGag: Every single plan how to dump Rita which Timursuggested suggests to Alexei somehow resulted results in him (in Alexei's {{Imagine Spot}}s) being shot by Rita's father with a shotgun. The one where he tried tries to talk with father instead, resulted results in Lyosha being shot ''by Rita''. And by the end of the episode, he showed shows up with that gun ''for real'', though just to demonstrate it: he really, really likes his new shotgun.
-->'''Timur''':''"I'm start I'm starting wanting to shoot you myself! Stop bringing up that shotgun!"''
shotgun!
* ShotgunWedding: PlayedWith. While no threatwas ever made gets actually made, since Pavel thinks what that Alexei genuinely loves Rita and wants to be with her, Lyosha believes what that this is exactly what goes on: either he marries Rita, or her father (a hunter) would kill him with a shotgun. In fact, he is He's so sure this is how things would go, he quickly started annoying Timur, who believes stubborn on insisting on that, Timur (who thinks that he's exaggerating.exaggerating) quickly starts being annoyed.
