When Georgy Safranov (Kirill Käro) finds out his daughter Sonya (Vitaliya Kornienko) is keeping an android, Arisa (Paulina Andreeva), he wants to turn her over to the authorities, much to the dismay of Sonya of course, and not knowing that the Cronos Corporation is looking for Arisa everywhere, as she's supposed to be the prototype for their next line of androids, one that can read emotions. And Victor Toporov (Aleksandr Ustyugov), head of the Cronos Corporation, is under a lot of pressure there too, as his father in law Alexey Stepanovich (Sergey Sosnovskiy) threatens to remove him from his position in the company. However, when Arisa saves Sonya's life, Georgy decides to keep her after all - also because no ownership to anyone else has been registered. And he's soon quite happy about his decision, too, as when nosey inspector Varlamov (Kirill Polukhin) wants to search his apartment in regards to the fire in the morgue [see last episode], it's only thanks to her that the policeman doesn't get far.

Meanwhile, Georgy's teenaged son Egor (Eldar Kalimulin) has joined a terrorist group called the Liquidators, who want to destroy all androids - not because he necessarily shares their beliefs but because he wants to impress a girl, Jeanne (Vera Panfilova), and when they plan a mass execution of androids, he goes so far as to nick his grandpa's defective bot (Nikita Tezin) to have him destroyed - which gets Egor the girl at least ...

As with earlier episodes, excellent storytelling is what really makes the series work, as each episode manages to tell a story of its own, tie up its narrative strings before the end, and contribute to the bigger picture at the same time. And on an acting level, this episode clearly belongs to Paulina Andreeva, whose Arisa is just creepily otherworldly.
