Valya and Khadyakov quarreled: the general had made a big mistake. Valentina packed her things and left the Patricks for Peter. She decided to settle in the capital of culture, because her soul asks for high feelings and art, and Valentina tells Khadyakov not to come within a cannon shot. The general drowns his sorrow in work, now he is always on business trips: then at the factory, then in a private jet, then in a hotel, then in the Moscow office. While traveling around the country he is constantly trying to get drunk and seduce, but he has vowed not to enter into a relationship. Meanwhile, Valentina continues to make music and conquer St. Petersburg.
