History Recap / TheInternsS2E16

Today, interns must work by themselves, without Bykov's help. Levin's patient has a concussion... and quite "sticky" fingers. Varya must deal with old patient who, being in not exactly good condition after a serious operation, mistakes her for a wife of somebody called "Sergei", and Varya can't just tell her the truth in fear of worsening her condition; but the further she goes, the more lies she needs to keep up with the patient's delusion. Gleb's patient must be dealt with quickly, as he has very little time left before his wedding. And Lobanov... has ''no'' patient, and must just sit here and do nothing; but it's not as easy as it sounds...

Levin's attempt to retrieve his phone leads to conflict with (now obviously criminal) patient, who now tries to racket him, with the help of his [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik gopnik]] friends, so he asks Semyon for help. After failing to train Levin so he would be able to defend himself, Lobanov decides to just confront the gopniks himself and ''force'' them to give the phone back.

Gleb learns (from Semyon) that his patient can have a reason to ''deliberately'' avoid his wedding – because he just wants to avoid his spouse, at all cost; and she is already here... Gleb lies to her and almost gets their wedding cancelled... only to learn that ''they really love each other''. Neither the patient nor his spouse takes his meddling well -- and neither is Bykov when he finds out.

* AdviceBackfire: Lobanov advises Gleb to "help" his patient and prevent his upcoming marriage, thinking that the guy is here to sabotage the wedding. Turns out that the patient and his spouse ''really'' loves each other; they reacts very negatively when they finds out that Gleb has tried to sabotage their wedding.
* TheAlcoholic: Varya's patient's son, Sergei, is a workless alcoholic (which becomes obvious just by looking on him). As part of her [[SnowballLie deceiving the patient]], Varya has to pretend that Sergei did reformed (which Sergei almost botches).

* DeliriousMisidentification: Varya' patient is an old woman, who is... not exactly here. She mistakes Varya for her son Sergei's girlfriend Katia, and, since she is in bad condition after a serious operation, Varya is forced to play along... but the further it goes, the harder it becomes to keep up.
* GangBangers: Levin's patient is n aggressive [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik Gopnik]]. The patient and his two friends steals Levin's phone and now trying to racket him. Semyon confronts them and persuades to return the phone and apologise.

* SnowballLie: Varya' patient is an old woman, who is... not exactly here. She mistakes Varya for her son Sergei's wife Katia, and, since she is in bad condition after serious operation, Varya is forced to play along. Sergei is forced to pretend to be Varya's husband for the same reason. What else Varya is forced to lie about? That Sergei quit drinking and finally found a work (and Varya promises to watch for him), and that his (one year-old) son Vladimir now can talk (that one is Varya's fault, though). When this lie unavoidably would implode, consequences would be devastating; maybe, just telling the truth from the beginning was not that bad idea after all... This also leads to... [[MistakenForCheating interesting situation]] when the patient sees Gleb with Varya in the end. Fortunately, Bykov appears and finally explains everything (in delicate enough way to not cause her any harm).

* UnwantedSpouse: According to Lobanov, Gleb's patient is just trying to avoid the marriage. This theory gets some credibility when his [[BrawnHilda spouse]] appears, but ultimately [[SubvertedTrope gets proven wrong]].

Today, interns must work by themselves, without Bykov's help. Levin's patient has concussion... and quite "sticky" fingers. Varya must deal with post-operation old patient, who mistakes her for wife of somebody called "Sergei", and Varya can't just tell her the truth in fear of worsening her condition; but the further she goes, the more lies she must tell her to maintain this. Gleb's patient must be dealt with quickly, before its too late for his wedding. And Lobanov... has ''no'' patient, and must just sit here and do nothing; but its not as easy as it sounds...

Levin's attempt to retrieve his phone leads to conflict with (now obviously criminal) patient, who now tries to racket him, with help of his gopnik friends, so he ask Semyon for help. After failing to train Levin, Lobanov decided to just confront gopniks himself and ''force'' them to give phone back.

Varya's lie becomes progressively harder to maintain, especially when patient gives Varya her family ring (and Sergei accused Varya of stealing it); it only ends when Bykov finally shows up.

Gleb learns (from Semyon) what his patient can have a reason to ''deliberately'' avoid his wedding – because he just want to avoid his [[BrawnHilda spouse]], at all cost; and she is already here... Gleb lies to her and almost gets their marriage ruined... only to learn what ''they really love each other''. Neither patient nor his spouse is amused by this, as well as Bykov when he finds out.

* AdviceBackfire: Lobanov advised Gleb to "help" his patient and prevent his upcoming marriage. Turns out, they ''really'' love each other.
* TheAlcoholic: Varya's patient's son, Sergei, is workless alcoholic (which become obvious just by looking on him). Varya pretending what he finally reformed (which Sergei almost botched) is part of her SnowballLie to her patient.
* BigGuy: Levin's patient turns out to be aggressive [[GangBangers gopnik]], who [[StickyFingers stole his phone]] and then tried to racket him. Semyon helps him by confronting the guy and his two friends, and scares them enough to go and apology; they even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade this]] after he leaves.
* BoredomMontage: Lobanov has no patients this time, but he can't go home either. He spends some time on attempts to find something to kill time, and when everything fails, just decided to come and see what other interns do.
* DeliriousMisidentification: Varya' patient is old woman after serious operation, who is... not exactly here. She mistakes Varya for girlfriend (named Katya) of her son, Sergei, and, since she is in bad condition after serious operation, Varya forced to play along.
* GangBangers: Levin's patient is agressive [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik Gopnik]]. Patient and his two friends stole Levin's phone and now trying to racket him. Semyon confronts them and persuade into apology.
* HotGuyUglyWife: Gleb's patient is attractive man, while his spouse is... [[BrawnHilda fat and rather ugly]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Lobanov tried to help Levin getting his phone back. Lobanov succeeds, but Levin now thinks it was ''Lobanov'' who stole it in the first place, and Bykov, who doesn't bother to find out why Levin attacked Lobanov, just punished Semyon with night shift.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Had Varya just explained everything to her patient from the beginning, instead of [[SnowballLie trying to play along]], it could been ended much quicker and less painful for both of them. And had Gleb bother to ask his patient, he could been learned what yes, he ''really'' loves his spouse, instead of attempting to ruin their upcoming marriage (thinking what he "help" his patient by doing this); thought in his case it was Lobanov [[AdviceBackfire who give him idea]].
** Semyon decided to just deal with Levin's patient by himself (and succeeds), unaware what Levin already called the police. This leads to... awkward situation when they din't find anything (since Lobanov already take phone which patient stole) and patient pretended to be innocent. This allows patient [[KarmaHoudini gets away with everything]]. And Levin later attacks Lobanov, thinking what it was his fault.
* RefugeInAudacity: Levin's patient not only stole his phone, but, after Levin realised this and makes (failed) attempt to find it in his ward, patient pretends to be offended and demands money for "moral compensation"; and if he would not pay, his friends would ''force'' Levin to do it.
* TheSlacker: {{Enforced}} by Bykov. Lobanov has ''no'' patient this time, he must just sit here, doing nothing; his "task" would be done if by the end of day he wouldn't cause any problem. But as it turns out, it is not that easy when you must do it on purpose...
* SnowballLie: Varya' patient is old woman after serious operation, who is... not exactly here. She mistakes Varya for wife (named Katya) of her son, Sergei, and, since she is in bad condition after serious operation, Varya forced to play along. Said Sergei is forced to pretend to be Varya's husband as well. What else Varya was forced to lied about? What Sergei quit drinking and finally found a work (and Varya promised to watch for him), and what his (one year-old) son Vladimir start talking. When this lie unavoidably would implode, consequences can be devastating; maybe, just telling her truth from the beginning was not that bad idea after all...
** [[BrickJoke This also leads to]]... [[MistakenForCheating interesting situation]] when patient sees Gleb with Varya in the end. Fortunately, Bykov appears and finally explains to patient everything (in delicate enough way to not causing her any harm).
* StickyFingers: Levin's patient is pickpocket, and he steals Levin's phone right in his introduction scene. Unfortunately, he is not just pickpocket, and after Levin failed to retrieve his phone, attempt to racket him as well.
* UnwantedSpouse: According to Lobanov, Gleb's patient could just trying to avoid marriage. This theory gets some credibility when his [[BrawnHilda spouse]] appears.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: To anyone's surprise, Gleb's patient and his [[BrawnHilda spouse]] ''really'' love each other. When patient finds out what Gleb almost ruined their marriage, he calls Gleb {{Jerkass}} and tells him what ''he'' flighted for her love for ''three years'' (and what he loved her since school days).
