Recap / The Interns S 3 E 9

Go To

Kupitman hires a new nurse, and now wants Lyuba to explain to her how everything works here; the problem is, while she's very attractive, she's dumb as a brick. When neither Lyuba nor Levin manages to teach her anything, Lyuba just tells Kisegach, who examines her and then fires her immediately once she proves to be totally incompetent.

Bykov's new patient is a goth teenager, whose mother asks Bykov for help with "fixing" him. Bykov decides to see how far tis "goth" can go, and brings him into morgue; when it fails to have any effect, he pretends to feed on blood, which actually scares him. Ultimately, the guy decides that if that is a requirement, he's done with being a goth... but decides to get medical education and become a pathologist.

Bykov decides to finally resolve Lobanov's problem with his wife. But Semyon thinks that everything would soon go back to normal by itself, and disregards all his advices. It doesn't, and Olga now wants to divorce him.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Brainless Beauty: Kupitman's new nurse is an attractive big-breasted woman... but is totally incompetent. He asks Lyuba for help with this... situation, but forgets to mention just how serious the problem is. When Kisegach learns about this, she decides to test that nurse, and when she instantly fails, fires her on the spot.
  • Everyone Has Standards: While the corpses in the morgue only reinforces Bykov's patient's desire to be a goth, he draws the line at drinking blood when he sees Bykov pretending to do so.
  • I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: How Kupitman's new "nurse" even managed to finish the medical education, despite being dumb as a brick: she has big boobs, which was enough for the examiner to let her pass. This works on Kupitman and Levin, too, but it obviously doesn't work on Kisegach, so when she fails to pass her test legitimately, she gets fired on the spot.
  • I Reject Your Reality: Lobanov ignores any and all signs of Olga going to divorce him for real, as well as his friends' and Bykov's attempts to tell him otherwise; she would miss him and invite him back, sooner or later! Bykov outright calls him a moron for this.
  • The New Rock & Roll: Bykov's patient is a goth teenager. His mother asks Bykov for help with "fixing" him, which Bykov does by claiming to be "true" goth, while the patient is just "a pretender", and bringing him into morgue. This backfires, since the patient is happy to be there. Bykov still manages to "cure" him when he pretends to drink blood, at which the kid draws a line.
  • Out of Focus: Neither Gleb nor Varya have any major role in this episode, and only briefly appears in Semyon's plot.
  • Satanic Panic: Entire plot about Bykov's goth patient is build around a stereotype that "goth equals satanist" which just refuses to die in Russia, and has little to do with actual goths.
