The heroes save Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, who initially does not believe them, but eventually shows interest in Alyonka, which makes Styopa jealous. Nazar helps Maria escape, and she plays a scene to leave with Ursula, while Mnishek plans the next steps with the help of a potion.

Styopa defends Mikhail Fedorovich in court, proving his innocence in the burning of the village, and finds evidence that the Tatars are to blame. Meanwhile, the Cossacks and Lena agree to work for Timur, advertising the shopping center, but after filming they are ambushed by the police, and bandits from the Tavern are waiting for them in the parking lot.
