Kupitman arrives on work while being almost completely drunk -- only to find some poodle sitting in his chair. How it appeared here? And why? Of course, Kupitman accuses Bykov. The problem is, it was not his idea (which Bykov considers to be sad), which, in turn, means that they have ''another'' prankster in their hospital. Kupitman refuses to even listen to him, gives a dog to him and leaves. Bykov, in turn, gives it to Gleb and orders to find a way to get rid of it. Gleb can't find a better way than to return it to Kupitman's office. Kupitman gets enraged by finding the same poodle in his office ''again'', and tries to give it back to Bykov, only for him to refuse to accept it. Kupitman just leaves it in the restroom, where it gets found by Phil. Pasha remembers Kupitman walking around with it previously, and Phil decides to return the dog to its "owner". Kupitman eventually learns who had brought that poodle into office; it was... Kupitman himself, too drunk to notice a stray dog walking behind him towards his office. Confused Kupitman leaves, taking the dog with him, and goes to Bykov and Kisegach to talk about the story with poodle -- only to be cut short by Bykov closing a door. Kisegach opens the door instead -- and bursts into laugh.

Phil, due to constant abuse by Bykov, starts hallucinating him as... Adolf Hitler. Psychiatrist whom he asks advises him to calm down and stop panicking -- it was not hallucination, just consequences of too much stress. Psychiatrist, on his own initiative, confronts Bykov and tells him to stop abusing Phil, while also mentioning this "Hitler" story to point how far Bykov had gone. Of course, Bykov only takes it as a hint towards another way to make fun at Phil's expense, and starts acting like he's indeed Hitler, to mess with Phil. Phil quickly realises that it's a trolling attempt, and fills official complaint to Kisegach, on both Bykov and psychiatrist (who told Bykov about this "Hitler" problem). Kisegach instead suggests him to try her own method: imagine Bykov screaming something good and wait till he shuts up. Phil actually tries this method... and it works. While Bykov continuously shouts torrents of insults at him, Phil just smiles like a fool, imagining how Bykov tells him unusual compliments.

Gleb accuses Semyon of being henpecked by Olga. In order to "prove" that he is not, Semyon tries to cancel Olga's planned trip for new closet... by using Bykov's orders as an excuse, which only enrages Olga. Semyon talks with Gleb and tell him that he is not "henpecked"... and just when Gleb reluctantly agrees, his mother shows up and tasks him with delivering a package for his grandmother. So, who's momma's boy here? Olga, after finally confirming that Bykov isn't overworking Semyon, confronts him about him lying to her -- again. When asked what he would do instead, Lobanov snaps and shouts on her, saying that he would drink booze with Gleb, and who knows wether he would even return home today. He and Gleb then proceeds to drink. But then they comes to conclusion that they just acted like total jerks towards their women (wife and mother, respectively), and loses what little fun they have left. It's tile to leave -- and apologise.

* AnimalMotifs: RunningGag with Kupitman and him looking similar to a grey-furred poodle finally comes to its conclusion with ''literal'' poodle appearing right in Kupitman's office. The rest of Kupitman's plot involves him trying to get rid of this dog, which keeps invading his office (unsuccessfully) and find out who sent it here.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Semyon's excuse why he would cancel Olga's planned trip for a new closet (so he may stay with Gleb and drink beer)? Tell her that Bykov overworks him. You know, something ''she may easily clarify'' -- and which Bykov would not slide, because he ''hates'' two things: lies and becoming a scapegoat due to lies.
* {{Gaslighting}}: [[{{Troll}} Bykov]] learns about Phil seeing him as Hitler in his stress-induced hallucination, and proceed to make fun at him by pretending to be Hitler again and again, so Phil would start questioning his sanity. Phil, however, quickly realises that it was, indeed, Bykov's trolling, and fills a complaint to Kisegach, on both Bykov and psychiatrist, who told Bykov about Phil's "Hitler" problem (even if out of good intentions).

Semyon talked with Gleb and tell him what he is not "henpecked"... and just when Gleb reluctantly agreed, his mother showed up and tasked him with delivering a package for his grandmother. So, who's momma's boy here?

Kupitman was enraged to find poodle ''again'', and tried to give it back to Bykov, only for him to refuse. So, then Kupitman leaved it in the toilets, instead... where it was found by Phil. When Pasha remembered what Kupitman walking around with it previously, Phil decided to give it back to its "owner".

Phil's psychiatrist confronted Bykov and tell him to stop abusing Phil, while also mentioning this "Hitler" story. Of course, Bykov only considered this to be an interesting way to play with Phil further -- by pretending to ''be'' Hitler, in order to cause Phil to start doubting his sanity. Phil, however, quickly realised what it was, indeed, Bykov's trolling, and filled complaint to Kisegach, on both Bykov and psychiatrist who told him about Phil's "Hitler" problem. Kisegach instead suggested him to use her method: just imagine what Bykov screams ''something good'', until he shuts up.

Olga, who finally confirmed what Bykov never overworked Semyon, confronted him on lying to her -- again. When asked what he would do instead, Semyon just snapped and shouted on her -- what he would drink booze with Gleb, and who knows wether he would even return home today. So, Gleb and Semyon proceed to drink.

Meanwhile, Kupitman finally learns from their clearing lady who bring him that poodle. It was... Kupitman himself, too drunk to notice stray dog walking behind him towards his office. Confused Kupitman leaved, taking dog with him.

Phil actually tried Kisegach's method... and it worked. While Bykov continually shouted on him torrent of insults, Phil instead imagined stream of unusual compliments, smiling like fool.

Semyon and Gleb come to conclusion what they just acted like total jerks towards their women (wife and mother, respectively), and lost any trace of fun they have left. It's time to leave -- and apology.

And Kupitman arrived to Bykov and Kisegach, to finally talk about this story with poodle -- only to be cut short by Bykov closing door. Kisegach opened the door instead -- and bursted in laugh.

* MommasBoy: Soon after accusing Semyon of being HenpeckedHusband, Gleb himself turns out to be this, with her ordering him around and forcing to abandon any plans he may have in favour to do her task (not what his "plans" were that important to begin with, but still). When mocked by [[NotSoDifferent Semyon]], he tried to "grow some balls" and refused to obey his mother, in rather jerkish manner.

Added DiffLines:

Kupitman arrived on work while being almost completely drunk -- only to find some poodle sitting in his chair. How it appeared here? And why? Of course, Kupitman accused Bykov. Problem is, it was not his idea (which he considers to be sad), which, in turn, means what they have ''another'' prankster in their hospital. Kupitman refuses to even listen him, gives dog to him and leaves. Bykov, in turn, gave it to Gleb and ordered to find a way to get rid of it. Gleb couldn't find a better way than to return it to Kupitman's office.

Phil, due to constant abuse by Bykov, starts hallucinating him as... Adolf Hitler. Doctor advised him to calm down and stop panicking -- it was not hallucination, just consequences of too much stress.

Gleb accuses Semyon of being henpecked by Olga. In order to "prove what he is not, Semyon tried to cancel Olga's planned trip for new closet... by using Bykov's orders as an excuse, which only enraged Olga. Semyon talked with Gleb and tell him what he is not "henpecked"... and just when Gleb reluctantly agreed, his mother showed up and tasked him with delivering a package for his grandmother. So, who's momma's boy here?

Kupitman was enraged to find poodle ''again'', and tried to give it back to Bykov, only for him to refuse. So, then Kupitman leaved it in the toilets, instead... where it was found by Phil. When Pasha remembered what Kupitman walking around with it previously, Phil decided to give it back to its "owner".

Phil's psychiatrist confronted Bykov and tell him to stop abusing Phil, while also mentioning this "Hitler" story. Of course, Bykov only considered this to be an interesting way to play with Phil further -- by pretending to ''be'' Hitler, in order to cause Phil to start doubting his sanity. Phil, however, quickly realised what it was, indeed, Bykov's trolling, and filled complaint to Kisegach, on both Bykov and psychiatrist who told him about Phil's "Hitler" problem. Kisegach instead suggested him to use her method: just imagine what Bykov screams ''something good'', until he shuts up.

Olga, who finally confirmed what Bykov never overworked Semyon, confronted him on lying to her -- again. When asked what he would do instead, Semyon just snapped and shouted on her -- what he would drink booze with Gleb, and who knows wether he would even return home today. So, Gleb and Semyon proceed to drink.

Meanwhile, Kupitman finally learns from their clearing lady who bring him that poodle. It was... Kupitman himself, too drunk to notice stray dog walking behind him towards his office. Confused Kupitman leaved, taking dog with him.

Phil actually tried Kisegach's method... and it worked. While Bykov continually shouted on him torrent of insults, Phil instead imagined stream of unusual compliments, smiling like fool.

Semyon and Gleb come to conclusion what they just acted like total jerks towards their women (wife and mother, respectively), and lost any trace of fun they have left. It's time to leave -- and apology.

And Kupitman arrived to Bykov and Kisegach, to finally talk about this story with poodle -- only to be cut short by Bykov closing door. Kisegach opened the door instead -- and bursted in laugh.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* AnimalMotifs: RunningGag with Kupitman and him looking similar to grey-furred poodle finally come to its conclusion with ''literal'' poodle appearing right in Kupitman's office (for bonus points, poodle really resembles Kupitman). The rest of Kupitman's plot involves about him trying to get rid of this dog which keeps invading his office (unsuccessfully) and find out who sent it here.
** When Bykov learned what someone sent Kupitman that poodle, his only regret what he was not the one to come with this joke -- he considered symbolism being just ''that'' hilarious.
** When Kisegach noticed Kupitman with poodle in the end of episode, she can't help but smile.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Semyon's excuse why he would cancel Olga's planned trip for new closet (so he may stay with Gleb and drink beer)? Tell her what Bykov overworks him. You know, something ''she may easily clarify'' -- and which Bykov would not slide, because he ''hates'' two things: lies and becoming scapegoat due to lies.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Ouf course, [[{{Troll}} Bykov]] couldn't miss an opportunity to mock Phil with his hallucination about Hitler, and proceed to gaslighting Phil by playing Hitler himself (with his subordinates being forced to be part of it). Phil, however, quickly realised what it was, indeed, Bykov's trolling, and filled complaint to Kisegach, on both Bykov and psychiatrist who told him about Phil's "Hitler" problem.
* HeelRealisation: Semyon and Gleb have one right after finally "achieving victory" in getting rid of their women in order to do what they want; this realisation also spoiled whatever fun they have left, provoking them into leaving home.
* HenpeckedHusband: Gleb accused Semyon to be this (even renamed Semyon's number in his phone for "heel"[[note]]"Каблук" -- "Kabluk" -- is Russian analogue of this trope, with other alternative being "подкаблучник", literally "underheeler"[[/note]], for him following her every order and refusing to go against her.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Gleb comments what Semyon [[SuddenlyShouting was little too harsh on Olga when refused to obey her]], yet he just recently refused to obey his mother in similar manner, if only less loudly. He [[HypocrisyNod he lampshaded it]].
* ImagineSpot:
** When Bykov mistreated him badly enough, Phil started to see him... as Hitler. This kickstarted his plot.
** Kisegach suggested to use this to dealt with Bykov's shouts: just imagine what he compliments you, until he stops. He would be too busy screaming to notice what you're not even hearing him.
* {{Irony}}: When Bykov finally agreed to take that poodle from Kupitman... Kupitman (who still thinks what this all was part of Bykov's plant to make fun at his expense) refused to give it to him, stating what "it would remind me just what an asshole you are!" When he took it with himself towards the end of episode, it's implied what he actually took it home.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Immediately after Semyon "dealt" with Olga [[HenpeckedHusband ordering him around]], Gleb was ordered Kisegach todeliver a package to his mother. Semyon didn't miss an opportunity to {{Lampshade|Hanging}} this, calling him MommasBoy.
* LivingMacGuffin: That poodle which kickstarted Kupitman's plot. It randomly showed up in his office, after which he "returned" it to [[NotMeThisTime Bykov]], who, in turn, gave it to Gleb with order to get rid of it. Gleb, instead, just returned it back to Kupitman.
* MommasBoy: Soon after accusing Semyon of being HenpeckedHusband, Gleb himself turns out to be this, with her ordering him around and forcing to abandon any plans he may have in favour to do her task (not what his "plans" were that important to begin with, but still). When mocked by [[NotSoDifferent Semyon]], he tried to "grow some balls" and refused to obey his mother, in rather jerkish manner.
* NotMeThisTime: Bykov is not guilty of this story with poodle (and regrets it).
* OnceMoreWithClarity: Kupitman spent most of episode trying to get rid of that poodle, but only towards the end we finally learn how it even appeared in his office in the first place -- by seeing flashback to morning scene, with totally wasted Kupitman accidentally lead stray dog right into his office, and only when it jumped in his chair, he noticed something wrong.
* RunningGag: That [[AnimalMotifs poodle]] just keeps reappearing at Kupitman's office, to Kupitman's irritation, whatever he does.
* SuddenlyShouting: When confronted about his lies and asked what he tries to hide with them, Semyon suddenly screamed on Olga on top of his lungs what he plans to drink booze with Gleb, wether she likes it or not. Even Gleb considered this to be too harsh, despite provoking [[HenpeckedHusband Semyon]] into conflict with Olga in the first place.
* {{Troll}}: Ouf course, Bykov couldn't miss an opportunity to mock Phil with his hallucination about Hitler, and proceed to {{Gaslighting}} Phil by playing Hitler himself (with his subordinates being forced to be part of it). This culminated in Phil having nervous break, and receiving a day off.
