Levin decides to prove to Lyuba that Bykov's trust in him is strong enough that Levin can just waste the full two days doing nothing without being even questioned. This predictably fails and Levin is now punished by three night shifts (two for slacking, and one for lying to Bykov).
Varya still can't forgive Gleb... but Bykov forces them to work together. They can't stop fighting with each other, even in front of their patient. Said patient, who just so happened to be a psychologist, suggests them to just write down everything that annoys them in each other, and then talk about it.
Semyon is trying to hide details about his and Olga's quarrel from everyone. He even insist that he, for once, decided to come to work earlier, despite not having any night shifts prior (to Bykov's surprise). What he actually hides is the fact that Olga kicked him out of the house, and he has nowhere to go besides hospital.
Bykov breaks his computer, and decided to break into Kisegach's office during the night and use her computer. She finds out that someone was here, but not who or why; Kupitman suggests that it could be her secretary Vera, who used her office for sex. Anastasia tries to interrogate Vera, and finds Bykov's badge; when the night comes, she confronts Bykov about this. Lobanov accidentally overhears them and now he is aware about their relationship.
This episode provides examples of:
- Exact Eavesdropping: Lobanov overhears Bykov and Kisegach's dialogue, and learns that they are lovers.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Levin did have Bykov's trust... until his attempt to prove its existence ruined it.
- Obnoxious In-Laws: Played With; while Olga's mother indeed hates Semyon's guts, her father is kind, gentle and actually tried to help his son-in-law even when both his wife and daughter turned against Semyon. He can't do anything meaningful, due to being Henpecked Husband, but it's intent that matters.
- One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Kisegach thinks that Bykov is cheating on her with her secretary Vera, right in her office, while Bykov breaks in just to use Kisegach computer for video games (his own is broken). Due to nature of conversation and words being used, it takes them some time that they're talking about completely unrelated things.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Kisegach's password is... "Password". According to Bykov, she uses that "password" since a long ago.
- Pet the Dog: Bykov learns about Semyon hiding in closet and overhearing his conversation with Kisegach, but doesn't tell about him to Kisegach, knowing that if Anastasia finds out, she very well may just fire him.
- Secret-Keeper: Lobanov accidentally learns about Bykov's relationship with Kisegach; now he must remain quiet about it.
- Shipper on Deck: Varya and Gleb's patient is a psychologist (okay, ultimately turns out that he's not, but with his experience he may as well be), and he tries to help them to fix their relationship. He suggests them to write down everything they don't like in each other... the point is that Gleb was supposed to ignore this "advice" and do not write anything, as if his partner has nothing to be blamed for, but Gleb completely missed the point; after the patient tells him that he did a big mistake by doing this, he manages to hide his list in time, and plan seemingly works... but then Levin finds this list and gives it to Varya, ruining everything.
- The Slacker: Levin's entire plot is about his attempt to prove that he can get away with doing nothing, due to having enough trust from Bykov. He can't. For wasting two days, Bykov punishes him by giving him three night shifts — two for wasting time, and one for lying.
- Working with the Ex: Gleb and Varya had a painful breakup in previous episode... but Bykov forces them to work together. They just can't stop fighting each other, even in front of their patient. The patient (who just so happens to be a psychologist) suggests them to just write down everything what bothers them in each other, and then discuss it and try to fix prior mistakes.
