Bykov has a conflict with Kisegach due to him being "indifferent" to their future baby's sex ("Why worry if we can't change it? Let's receive what we would receive"). However, he becomes interested when Kupitman starts taking bets for ultrasound scan's results. Bykov actually "wins" his bet, but Kisegach learns about the whole affair and is now ''infuriated''. She confronts Bykov about it, and he tries to convince her that he genuinely started wanting to have a son; he even used the money he'd won to buy his future son a toy bike, so he would become some sort of "Lizard Jr". She calls him out on being too reckless.

Phil saves a suicidal patient from jumping out of the window, but no one seems to care. Neither direct witnesses, nor other interns, nor Rita or Kisegach. In fact, Kisegach even suggests him to hide this incident, due to some "yellow press" magazine trying to use it for cheap hype, which may lead to unwanted attention for the hospital. Phil feels insulted by the lack of praise for his "heroism", and decide to deal with the situation by going wasted on vodka. Semyon calls him out on it, and then tells him that he wants way too much for something so ordinary. On the next day, Phil comes to the hospital while suffering from a heavy hangover, and sees everyone prising him. He's finally happy, unaware that Lobanov has told everyone that he managed to drink entire bottle of vodka solo, without snacks, and they're impressed by ''this''. Once he learns this, his mood immediately goes down.

* TheBet: Kisegach's baby sex would be revealed today, and Kupitman already started accepting bets for it. Bykov quickly joins (betting on boy). Even ultrasonic scan's operator made his own bet (on boy, too). Bykov wins, but later Kisegach overhears Pasha's discussion with one of the nurses (Pasha had lost), and gets ''very'' angry.
* CantSpitItOut: During discussion with Semyon just why Gleb ignores her at any cost, Polina comes to conclusion that he may secretly love her, but can't spit it out. Lobanov [[SureLetsGoWithThat agrees on this version]], because it would allow both to get rid of Polina ''and'' take revenge on Gleb for backstabbing Semyon (which led to him being paired with Polina in the first place). Polina considers this to be a problem because she feels nothing to him.

* TemptingFate: Semyon regretted telling Gleb what he want's nothing to do with Polina, stating as reason Gleb being unreliable, and him not wanting to risk Bykov founding out. Gleb backstabbed him at first opportunity, resulting in Semyon being forced to work with Polina.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: How other character reacted on Phil [[DudeWheresMyRespect whining about not being praised for his "heroism"]]. Common arguments are: "it's a hospital, here we save people every day"; "this dude was just some DramaQueen and wanted free attention"; "there was little actual danger for him, broken leg at worst". Best summed out by Lobanov:
-->''"What you had expected? A medal?"''
* WhatTheHellHero: Kisegach had two in short succession, both towards Bykov; first one for him using their baby's sex for betting, and second one for using money he earned this way to buy for this baby toy bike (memories of how Bykov's own attempts to return to biker's day ended are still fresh).
