Serial Killer plotline in four-part spinoff "The Gardener" is based on Alexander Pichushkin's story. The story was altered by show's creators, though, as they didn't want to film a biography and deprive the story of suspense. One of the sublots in "Knight's Move" revolves around the letters with used condoms sent to underage female chess players, accompanied with lewd stories about them posted on chess forums. This subplot is based on a true story that occurred in Russian-speaking countries.

However, the trope is for once played straight when Veronica's sister Lyudmila is revealed to be in love with Arkady and he has a Love Epiphany about her. In "The Pharaoh", a professor in his sixties is married to his former student, more than thirty years his junior. She cheats on him, and he is so obsessed with her he kills her to invoke Together in Death. In "The Big Game", middle-aged Victor and young Victoria hit it off almost immediately. Except not, because Victor, whose name is really Lev, is just using her to get the papers incriminating him and his boss.

Trace / int_4acee1ed	comment	Fish out of Temporal Water: In "A Trap in Time", a businessman obsessed with the idea of time travel suddenly finds himself in Nazi-occupied Pskov, captured by the Nazis as an apparent spy. He manages to escape, shooting the German officer who interrogated him, and soon finds himself (and the officer's dead body) back in the 21st century. The "time travel" was an elaborate but harmless prank, a gift from his friends, but the director of the company that staged it deliberately put real shells into the gun, since he had a personal vendetta against the actor who played the officer. "Wormhole" begins with a Soviet car discovered in a forest, with an old man in Soviet clothing who insists he is a high-ranked Communist party member and refuses to believe he is not in the USSR. The old man was a high-ranked Soviet official, but fled in 1978 under an assumed name to avoid investigation and has been mentally ill since the 1990s. The apparent time travel was a setup by two conspirators to make their victim remember where he had buried his illegally-acquired treasure. "Seeking Charon" focuses on the murder of the mobster Kirill Kuzin. His corpse was found dressed in a typical "New Russian" style, which was typical for the 90s. In fact, he spent 25 years in a Portuguese prison and was completely out of touch with the world. For example, he had no idea about the smartphones or broadband Internet.

The husband agrees, the medic reexamines the case and concludes that the victim's death was not directly caused by the injuries inflicted by Denis, so Denis is convicted of involuntary manslaughter instead and only receives a year of confinement. However, the husband has gone through a Romantic Fakeâ€“Real Turn, prompting Tamara to Murder the Hypotenuse. Then the FES gets the files on the manslaughter case, and it's revealed that the medic was actually honest and it was involuntary manslaughter after all; the medic hid the fact from her lover to prevent him from dumping her. Tamara breaks into tears when she is informed that she provoked her own husband into cheating and then committed murder for absolutely nothing, since her son would have been saved from a ten-year sentence regardless.

Trace / int_f44ad3e1	type	Twin Switch
Trace / int_f44ad3e1	comment	Twin Switch: A very sinister version in "From the Head to the Heels", where Katya is murdered and her organs are donated instead of those belonging to her recently-deceased twin sister Alina. It is done because Katya poisoned her sister, and the surgeon, who is also the latterâ€™s fiancÃ©, realizes the poison will cause the recipients to reject Alina's organs. That, and he wants to avenge his beloved Alina, so he kills Katya and gives her organs to be transplanted instead.
