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. 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.
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 trying 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.
Phil learns about the "presentation" 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 that 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" anyway. 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.
This episode provides examples of:
- Abuse Mistake: 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 very aggressive, nearly violently, both to her and the doctor; secondly, they both are poorly clothed (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 associated with criminals.
- Arbitrary Skepticism: Invoked by Gleb, when Maxim (correctly) started doubting that Bykov really needs a "presentation"; he asks what they did on previous days, and Alexei mentions several weird "challenges", which seemingly proves Gleb's point.
- Ax-Crazy: 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, casually threatening to kill doctor if he would waste his time any longer. Predictably, he gets mistaken for psycho and, potentially, 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.
- Cassandra Truth: When Phil points out potential consequences of Gleb's prank, Gleb tries to talk interns out of doing "presentation"... but Maxim takes it as a confirmation that the "presentation" requirement is real, and this was a real prank.
- Control Freak: 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 the first opportunity to do something which was normally prohibited, like go clubbing and get drunk... with disastrous consequences.
- Didn't Think This Through: When Gleb and Semyon ignores him calling their "presentation" prank cruel, Phil points out that if they overdo it and Bykov would be particularly enraged, he may kick all new interns out and proceed to continue abusing his old ones. Memories are still too fresh, so Gleb agrees with him and decides to, if not stop, then at least reduce the damage from their prank.
- Dude, Not Funny!: 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 whether it's okay to "touch" her uncle (only to immediately joke that it's not a good idea to touch venereologist), even Alexei objects.
- Hated Hometown: Sophia 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.
- Kick the Dog: Maxim mocks Sophia's relatives (both father and uncle), without any provocation. Even Alexei objects to it. He also brags about his wealth, connections and education, knowing that Alexei has neither.
- Large Ham: Maxim's "presentation" is an overly dramatic "poetry" about him being thankful to Bykov for being accepted into internship, with over-the-top acting and gratuitous gestures. Bykov is unimpressed.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: 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 hope is lost.
- Not Helping Your Case: Bykov does everything to sabotage Kisegach's attempts to prove to child service department's inspector that they are a normal family. He acts very aggressive, sometimes violent. His trash (which he didn't bother to take out) contains empty beer bottles — and not long ago they were accused of being the alcoholics. Then, when inspector starts questioning them about conditions in which their son lives, Bykov starts giving her sarcastic answers such as "Where Ilya sleeps? We put him out of the window!". While ultimately they preserve the baby, inspector still puts them on the watch list, just in case.
- Pet the Dog: 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 Yakov. However, later it backfires when Yakov calls again and real Bykov answers.
- Poor Communication Kills: Had Ilya's babysitter bothered to warn Kisegach and Bykov about moving those coins in the different place, the whole episode's plot would've been averted.
- The Prankster: Gleb tricks interns into thinking that they must prepare a "presentation" of themselves to Bykov. Maxim suspects that something is wrong, and suggests to ask Lyuba... but she's already on the plan, and "confirms" it. 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.Bykov: You're in the jungle now, and every funny animal out there wants to use you for their sick fun.
- Preemptive "Shut Up": Maxim clearly expected that Alexei would use his introduction to talk about Torzhok, and cuts him off preemptively, stating that they know this already, no need to repeat.
- The Proud Elite: Maxim likes to point out that he is rich, well-connected and well-educated, despite — or maybe even because — it highly contrasts with Alexei being a simple provincial guy with nothing flashy to brag about.
- Second Episode Introduction: After three episodes, Maxim and Alexei finally gets properly introduced; considering that three previous episodes were devoted to actually choosing who would stay and who wouldn't, this is justified, as they finally have a chance to relax and properly talk with each other peacefully.
- Shoot the Dog: The traumatologist whom Bykov asks to help inject coins from Ilya (who accidentally swallowed them) finds no coins, but falsifies the scanning results to have excuse to take Ilya away from people he considers to be unfit for parenthood (he mistook them for alcoholics, and specifically Bykov — for aggressive, violent abuser with criminal past and possibly present).
- Tattooed Crook: If Bykov's behaviour made him look like a dangerously aggressive alcoholic, his tattoos makes the doctor think that he may also be a former (if not current) criminal — in Russia, tattoos are heavily associated with criminals, due to old and undying stereotypes.
