Takanashi is visited at work by one his 4 sisters. Hiroomi the assistant cook attempts to blackmail the staff of Wagnaria so that he won't have to work. At the same time it becomes apparent that Satou the head cook has a thing for Yachiyo the head waitress.

Takanashi spends some quality time with his four quirky sisters; the boss, the drunk, the writer and the manipulative. Each in their own way is reliant on Takanashi to keep their family in order. White Day has arrived and Takanashi gifts Mahiru a bag of hair pins. This is the first White Day gift she has ever received. Later he runs into her on the street worried that she might attack some random male while walking around he escorts her home. On the way they run into his eldest sister Kazue. Mahiru get flustered and admits to "assaulting" Takanashi on a regular basis.

Pupura finds out about Takanashis tall sisters and is upset with him for keeping these ideal women from her. As punishment she sets him up to go on a date with Mahiru. An experiment to see how much more man acclimated Mahiru has become concludes that if she can't punch Takanashi she'll kick him in the nuts.

Sōta's novelist sister Izumi enters a slump when she assumes he is dating Popura and will stop paying attention to her. She decides to go on a journey where she ends up meeting Mahiru who helps cheer her up. As Sōta looks after Izumi, Nazuna helps out at Wagnaria, which annoys Aoi who believes she is outshining her. After hearing about it, Nazuna puts on an act to make Aoi feel better about herself.

Aoi searches for her teddy bear, Daisy, only to find that Jun had just put it in her room. Later, Yachiyo overhears a conversation between Jun and Mitsuki and assumes the two are going out with each other. As Jun notices her weird behaviour, he takes some advice from Popura to put some pressure on himself to sort things out with her.

Souta is given the task of reporting his family's activities to Otouru Minegishi, Kazue's ex-husband and an employee of his mother who has an annoyingly masochistic behavior. The next day, Souta has to deal with poor eyesight after his glasses break because of Aoi punching him with Daisy. while Hiroomi tries to encourage Jun to ask Kyouko out for a drink.

While Sōta remains stressed over the other day's events, Izumi, assuming he had broken up with Popura, tries to set Sōta and Mahiru up with each other, unaware of the actual circumstances between them.

Staying over at Sōta's house, Aoi explains her backstory about being constantly forced to study by her mother, inevitably pointing out the reason she ran away was because Kirio ate her natto. As the other staff members try to convince Aoi to return home over the next few days, Popura asks Kirio to bring over his mother, Kikuno, who is revealed to have trouble talking with others clearly to the point that her children need a manual to understand her.

As Popura becomes more aware of the relationships blooming around her, she and Aoi question Otoo about the restaurant's stance on romantic relationships. Later, Minegishi comes to the restaurant to tell Sōta something and gets punched by Mahiru, leading her to feel she hasn't gotten over her androphobia, but Sōta manages to calm her down.

Jun finally works up the courage to confess to Yachiyo, but it doesn't go well and Yachiyo goes into hiding. After managing to find her, Jun gives a direct confession which she finally reciprocates. Afterwards, Kyoko seems to want to stop Yachiyo making parfaits for her, saying she shouldn't be tied down to her, but Jun accepts that Kyoko is a key part of the girl he fell in love with.

As Sōta stops showing up at work, Kyoko learns that he has been spending a lot more time crossdressing because of his mother. Worried she is the cause of her problem, Mahiru confronts Sōta and tells him how she thinks of her, but Shizuka catches him and forces him to quit working at Wagnaria. Learning from Kyoko that Shizuka is having Sōta crossdress until he learns to be honest about his feelings, Mahiru heads off to talk with Shizuka, having to confront each of the Takanashi sisters along the way. As Mahiru confronts Shizuka with help from Nazuna, Popura shows up and convinces Shizuka to let Sōta keep working. Afterwards, Shizuka returns to her work while Sōta and Mahiru finally confess to each other.
