Victoria takes the sick Ksyusha to the doctor, but there she unexpectedly finds out that she herself is actually sick – she needs her tonsils removed. She is admitted to the hospital for surgery. Zhanna is getting ready for the university reunion evening, and, of course, she really wants Maxim to accompany her. After all, she needs to show off in front of her jealous friends and rub their noses in it. He is torn between the desire to stay in the hospital with Vika and go to the evening with Zhanna so that he can dazzle her fellow students.

A fashionable theatre director is visiting Shatalin. Upon seeing Vika, he immediately offered her the role of Juliet in his avant‑garde production of Shakespeare's classic work. Maxim objects; as an expert, he immediately realized that his children's nanny was completely unsuitable for the role. Zhanna Izhevskaya finds out: the director gave Vika the role on purpose, so that the production would end in complete failure. In this original way, he wants to settle the score with the producer.
