This episode starts with Polina enjoying her beauty sleep before the siren starts to blare in the middle of the night. Siren going off means that bombs might be coming, and people are to look for shelter. She is frustrated as sirens are not part of her everyday life and her friend has just left back to Russia for funerals. She leaves the flat in her pjs just to discover that the bomb shelter of her block house is locked and there is not much that she can do about it.

Her neighbour, a middle-aged woman, doesn't know what's going on either and invites Polina for a tea. Polina communicates with her in broken Spanish, as lady's English skills are asleep during the night. This is a start of a fruitful friendship and cooperation. The lady, who is originally from Argentina, gives Polina her first Israeli job: she is to become a cat-sitter. Polina comes to feed the cats and take poop away while her neighbour is away traveling.

With every poo she takes out from the cats' toilets, with every odour she smells, the smile on her face becomes wider. Polina is happy she is a poop collector now and not a collector of ideas for another government policy paper she used to write in her previous job.
