Episode Title:
Yuri vs Yuri! The Horror!! Rostelecom Cup, Short Program.
Episode Description:
In Moscow, the Rostelecom Cup event will determine the last four spots among the six skaters left in the competition. Yuri K. skates flawlessly, while Yuri P. performs well, but messes up his first jump as he was bothered by his grandfather's absence and still bitter about Victor being Yuri K.'s coach. In the end, Yuri K. places second and Yuri P. places third in the short program. Yuri K. gets a call from his sister that Victor's poodle, Makkachin, has got buns stuck in his throat and is in critical condition. Yuri remembers how he couldn't be there when his own dog died and urges Victor to return to Japan. Reluctant to leave Yuri alone for the free program, Victor asks his own coach, Yakov, to be Yuri's coach in his absence, much to everyone's shock.
