In this episode Polina returns to Moscow. There is again a Mercedes Maybach waiting for her at the airport. This time it takes her to her friend's work-studio where she is to spend a night on an inflatable mattress on the floor.

Polina wakes up to the phone call from the authorities asking her to come grab her Russian ID. Half asleep Polina once again recognises the super power of connections that are vital for the survival in a country like Russia. While in Paris she did a lot of homework trying to find a way to get her documents back asap. The normal way would take months. Polina does not have that much time: she is already homeless and unemployed. She is a lucky girl who apparently leaves a good mark in people's hearts and minds. Her ID is printed in front of her, which is a disturbingly unique VIP experience. She applies for her international passport the same day, which is a pure magic in the world of Russian bureaucracy. Now she is to wait for the results of security checks by the Russian Security Services.

Meanwhile, her French speaking friends in New York and Melbourne start translating all the reports given to her by French police.

While waiting for news from the authorities she migrates from one couch to the next, from one friend to another. At one point truly homeless Polina holds keys to 4 different flats all over Moscow. The plans are unclear as it is just as unclear when the documents will be ready.
