Yūsaku's childhood friend Ami, a model, transfers to the school and immediately becomes popular with everyone but Taiga, who sees the truth about her.

During a trip to Ami's beach villa, Taiga has a nightmare about being married to Ryūji and schemes to bring him and Minori together.

The gang plots an elaborate stunt to scare Minori with a trip to a nearby cave where Yūsaku has planted scary traps, but Yūsaku and Minori disappear.

Yūsaku has a meltdown in class, dyes his hair blond and refuses to run for student council, causing everyone to wonder what's wrong with him.

Yūsaku reveals his love for Sumire, a student council president who is leaving to study abroad, so his friends urge him to run for her council seat.

The class trip to Okinawa is canceled, leading to a last-minute change of plans to a ski trip, where Ryūji resolves to tell Minori how he feels.
