The episode opens with Aqua sharing the news with Himekawa that they are half-brothers, both sharing the same father. Himekawa takes Aqua to his home for further discussion, curious about Aqua’s mother, but Aqua declines to share any details, leading Himekawa to speculate that she was likely a celebrity.
Himekawa then opens up about his own mother, Airi Himekawa, and shares the news about his parents’ tragic deaths due to a double suicide, which occurred when he was only five years old. He reveals that his real surname is Uehara, named after his father, Seijuro Uehara.
Himekawa elaborates that Seijuro was a relatively obscure actor linked with various acclaimed celebrities. Aqua is taken aback to find that the person he sought vengeance against over Ai’s murder has already died. Despite the dark history, Himekawa finds joy in the fact that he has a half-brother.
Returning home the next morning, Aqua faces Ruby’s wrath for being out all night. He explains that he spent the night at Himekawa’s place and promises to introduce Ruby to him.

The episode progresses as the new B-Komachi discusses their strategies for growth. Mem-Cho counsels Kana and Ruby, who are frustrated with their current 20,000 YouTube subscribers, about the platform’s challenges and suggests they film room tour videos to increase viewership, beginning with Kana’s room.

For their next viewer enhancement strategy, Mem-Cho proposes a trip to shoot a music video, suggesting a three-day excursion to celebrate the end of the Tokyo Blade stageplay. Kana views this as an opportunity to bond with Aqua and asks for details.
Mem-Cho proposes Miyazaki as their filming location, surprising Ruby since it’s their birthplace and where their past lives ended. Mem-Cho also encourages creating original songs to attract more viewers.
The story shifts to the progress of their upcoming original song. Miyako mentions that she has contacted Himura, who previously composed for the original B-Komachi.

As the progress of the song stalls, Himura requests more time due to a lack of inspiration. Per Ruby’s suggestion, the team sends Himura a video of Ruby expressing her eagerness for the song, successfully motivating him to finish it.
