Idol B-Komachi begins their performance, and their first song goes well. However, Kana begins to lose self-confidence when she observes that the majority of the audience are only there to see Ruby and MEM-cho. However, she witnesses Aqua among the crowd cheering them on, and suddenly finds her motivation. The performance proves to be a huge success and on the way home, Kana finds out that Aqua's relationship with Akane is merely a professional one. A relieved Kana starts interacting normally with Aqua, while MEM-cho senses a looming love triangle between them and Akane. Sometime later, Lalalie is selected to perform a stage adaptation of the popular manga Tokyo Blade, and Kaburagi is asked to provide some outside talent since Lalalie has few young performers.

With the casting complete, the crew for the Tokyo Blade play begins their preparations, Ruby heads off to visit Ai's grave, and Aqua swears once again to track down their father.
