When Detective Stas Khabarov tries to arrest a drug dealer, he is shot in the back by a third party. But as he is about to go into the hereafter, a vision of his estranged wife being shot by his killer, stops him. He is now a ghost.

Stas asks Katya to collect Gypsy's phone from the crime scene. Katya is outraged: she doesn't feel she needs to do anything for anyone. But when Stas tells her that his wife, Vera, could get killed, Katya complies and ends up missing her date

In the ghost world, Stas befriends Yura, who has been in a coma ever since a tragic accident. She tells him how to get on Katya's good side: he will need to help her find the truth about her parents, and let her know that her mother did not in fact die in a fire. Meanwhile, Vera uncovers the secrets of her husbands final months: she finds pictures of an unknown child in his phone, and keys to a warehouse

While staying at her aunt's apartment, Kayta finds evidence that her mother is alive. The police come to Vera's apartment with a warrant because they suspect Stas of having been the mole, and find a stash of money there.

Anton volunteers to help Katya find her mother: they decide to go to her aunt's summer house. Meanwhile, Ksyukha tells Vera she never had an affair with Stas. She gives Vera the name of the club where NN, a stripper, is working.

Vera is being held hostage in her own apartment. NN tells Vera she was feeding Stas information about clients of hers who worked with Gypsy. Vera learns that Gypsy's business is still a concern, managed by a man called Dunya.

Lena Naumenko and Gypsy had one contact in common. Vera calls him but fails to get him to confess. Having taken Samartsev's laptop instead of hers by mistake, Lilya is stunned to find on it a photo of Stas right before his death, taken by an abandoned swimming pool. Samartsev admits to Lilya that he could have intervened, but didn't.

Vera suspects that someone must have helped get rid of the girl's body. Stas goes to the precinct, looking for Katya: while she is being questioned by detectives, he demands that she convince them to go to Vera's place.
