by mistake. At headquarters, Nikolai shows two German career criminals they recently arrested. Yuri conned them in a business deal with counterfeit payment, but the two
Germans confirmed they saw Yuri arrive at the house outside of the time frame the sisters accounted for with the murder, meaning they're all lying. Ludmila and Marila both give false confessions: Ludmila had sex with Yuri on the washing machine, then he was electrocuted by a loose wire; Maria walked in on them having sex, offered herself, and stabbed Yuri. All the while, Stacev's tea was drugged. He has horrid dreams where he sees visions of Vida hacking up Yuri's remains with a cleaver, while the sisters laugh. When the drugs wear off and he wakes up, Vida shows him out, implying she killed Yuri, but then saying she may also be lying.

remains are in the washing machine. Ludmilla and Vida show themselves with the jewels. The killer of
Nikolai and Stacev is revealed to be a very much alive Yuri. Nidaya also appears, having told the group of Maria's meeting out of wanting Maria to stay with her. Yuri threatens to kill Maria if she doesn't agree to be a part of the family, and as insurance, the five take a group photo with Stacev still in the washer. But shortly thereafter, to avenge herself and Stacev, Maris throws an iron into Yuri's running bath and electrocuted him to death. The ladies surround Maria while she gloats, and they all start to laugh.

Vida corners him, aggressively seducing him while saying
Ludmilla was jealous, which is why Vida and Yuri made sure she was watching them have sex. Stacev rebuff Vida, but by the time he's to meet Ludmilla, she's scared off by his colleague, Nikolai. Nikolai later tells Stacev the files of Petkov's criminal record are missing.

in Yuri's handwriting, giving Stacev a letter she says actually is. After Vida convinces Stacev to break into Yuri's apartment with her, she cuffs him to a stairwell and rapes him. Nikolai makes the rookie mistake of not telling their superiors Stacev's fingerprints were at the scene, so Stacev lambasts him for it.

But all the while, someone burgled Stacev's apartment for the suitcase, later revealed to be
Nikolai. Before he can properly make use of the riches, an unseen killer chokes him to death. When Maria doesn't get the call she needs from Stacev so she can leave, whe realize why not: his dead, dismembered
252:
Stacev's relationship with Irina becomes strained, and when she realizes the Kolbas are seducing Stacev, he angrily admits it and rejects her. She pleads she'll kill herself without him, but he throws her to floor, and while he takes a shower, Irina shoots herself with his service pistol he left out
244:
The sisters follow Stacev around to mess with him, or manipulate him when he's questioning them. Ludmilla gives love letters from Yuri to Maria, but Maria says she and her blind girlfriend Nidaya teased Yuri to string him along. Vida, at Yuri's strip club, explicitly tells Stacev the letters aren't

Stacev finds out a suitcase of jewels and cash were meant for the sisters, and when he discovers it, he keeps it at his apartment until he can gather evidence of Yuri's murder. Maria meets Stacev at the conservatory where she and
Ludmilla perform, and she shows him photos of him with all three
248:
The sisters keep changing their stories or avoid Stacev completely when he was questions. Maria says she saw her cat eat Yuri's hand on a plate. Ludmilla says she's a clairvoyant and says she saw Yuri's murder in a dream before it happened. Vida reveals
