Elena Evanovich: [about orphan] She goes to school like the others until she's 16. Then, hopefully, she learns a trade: Waitress, secretary... If not, she's out on the street like the others, and then we're taking in *their* babies.
Anka: That's terrible.
Elena Evanovich: You still feel sad in the middle of this happiness. You really *are* Russian.

Featured review
Overall it's a nice episode with good acting from the two leads. The moral dilemma of adoption is presented in a low key but precise manner.
But the Russian specific is so corny. Russians speak with a strong accent (if you shoot in Vladivostok why not hire actual Russian actors for smaller parts?). Everywhere there're soldiers with Kalashnikovs which you never encounter in reality. People smoke inside cafes and offices which is forbidden. American chicken from 25 years ago is discussed like an ongoing thing. So many details are totally false and stupid. But in the end thanks to the main story the episode remains quite good.
