Both the School Idol Club and School Idol Association are going strong. Mia has gotten over her blues and is back to her usual self, and Ai reflects on how she has been feeling lately.

Ai accepts her new feelings, and Lanzhu demands ideas for ways to show that the School Idol Association is far superior to the School Idol Club. Something new is in the works as Shioriko goes to visit the School Idol Club.

Feeling at home in the Association, Ai and Karin are impressed anew at Lanzhu and Setsuna's talent. Lanzhu and Setsuna may be polar opposites on stage, but are both so unique. What's Ai's daily life like, with those two in mind?

Ai reaffirms her desire to compete against the School Idol Club and win. She has a great idea to accomplish what she wants as well as Lanzhu's request, and calls a meeting with both the School Idol Club and the Association.

Ai proposes a tournament-style live show event pitting the School Idol Club against the School Idol Association. The Association is all for it, but how does the Club feel?

Setsuna, Kasumi, Shizuku, and Rina agree to participate in the joint event, and Ayumu, Kanata, and Emma will assist. Not wanting the Association to do all the prep work, the Club members head straight over to help after practice.

Ai's idea of doing a joint live show event with both the Club and the Association is taking shape! Everyone is assigned their tasks, and some friendships have even started to change.

Preparations for the joint event that was Ai's idea are going smoothly. Everyone's emotions are running high about the event. Amidst the tension, Karin tries to talk to Emma, but it doesn't go as planned.

Karin consults Kasumi about her strained relationship with Emma. Karin decides that all she can do is show Emma an outstanding performance. As the joint event draws near, Ai asks to do a mini-training camp with only Karin.

Ai and Karin renew their competitive spirit at their mini-camp. Ayumu, Kanata, and Emma host a public tournament draft where everyone draws a number to determine their opponent. The tournament will be in a week!
