Mikhail Dzhekovich is again plotting behind Barinov's back. But this time, his meanness unexpectedly turns against him. Lyova's mother comes up with a cunning plan to return her son to the family and get rid of Gulya. Nikita, taking advantage of the moment, makes Katya an offer. Will she agree?

A Korean delegation checks into the hotel, and their representative asks Barinov to cook dinner for the initiation ceremony. Katya, having spent the night with Denis, is trying to decide who she wants to be with. Between Gulya and Lyova's mother, cultural contradictions arise on the basis of culinary preferences.
