Because of this, the boss has a conflict with Nagiyev. Kostya and Nastya can't retire because of their son's whims. Nagiyev is offered the role of Napoleon.

Max's half-brother, Denis, unexpectedly comes to visit Max and Vika and asks to live for a while. They're trying to get him a job. Nagiyev is looking for a new chef instead of the fired Viktor Petrovich. In the evening, the drunken boss hits Nagiyev by car.

Victor meets his old friend Vladimir (he calls him Volodka in a friendly way), who wants to come to a restaurant for lunch. Victor does not admit that he is no longer a chef, and he has to get out of this situation. Max quarrels with Vika and decides to arrange a "conciliation dinner", for which he steals a bottle of expensive Nagiyev wine from the restaurant bar.

A representative of the "Union of Cinematographers" comes to the restaurant to order a banquet. Nagiyev is forced to ask Viktor Petrovich to return to Claude Monet for one evening. Victor agrees, but on his own terms.

Herman tries to take care of Victoria and decides to resort to cunning. It's Viktor Petrovich's birthday, but the planned celebration is under threat of disruption. Katya discovers that there is a shortage of food in the restaurant.

After Viktor Petrovich's anniversary, many people do not wake up alone. German is with Ainura, Katya is with Denis, and Barinov is with his daughter's friend, a waitress Eva. In the evening, there should be a show-kitchen of molecular cuisine in the restaurant, and Katya's important ingredients are missing. Denis is called to help her.

Denis is trying to earn permission from the boss to meet his daughter. Lova prepared a surprise gift for her mother for her anniversary. Nastya offers Kostya to enroll in sommelier courses, but this makes him drink all the time. German proposes to hold a Halloween-style corporate party in a restaurant, which everyone agrees to. Then he seriously sets up Vika in front of Nagiyev, but soon saves her from dismissal.

Eva informs Viktor Petrovich that she is expecting a child. Katya meets a childhood friend who has already married and decides to say that she is also getting married soon. Herman continues his attempts to conquer Victoria.

Katya and Denis start dating. Fedya and Senya find a video on the Internet, where you can see how German brutally beats the cook.
