An elderly woman went for strawberries near Mozhaisk. Lyalya cannot leave the house, because she looks after her father, who has gone into a binge. She calls Shtapich and asks for help. A new volunteer comes for Misha, she gets the nickname Osa. And at first, she does not make a very good impression on Shtapich, because she seems to be in no hurry to search. There is also another newcomer near Mozhaisk - the Italian Giancarlo, who is preparing a report about the volunteers for the newspaper. The foreigner brings confusion to the well-coordinated actions of the search engines. And the head of the detachment, Zhora, will have to make a difficult decision, since Kukla told Zhora's wife about his affair with Solovyova. For some time, the volunteers are left without their usual leader.
