Turns out the café-owner’s daughter Ami loves people-watching, too. Sakurai comes down with a really bad cold. Uzaki has a big request for her senior.

Sakurai makes Uzaki clean up her stuff, then takes cooking lessons from her mom. A solo karaoke trip spirals out of control and ends in disaster.

When Hana becomes depressed due to summer break being over with, Sakaki cheers her up after they have a conversation about Shinichi. They then decide to go bowling, and knowing that Shinichi is bad at it, Hana proposes a penalty game and uses underhanded tactics to try to throw him off. On another day, the café is closed and Ami uses the opportunity to make Hana and Shinichi try on new sexy uniforms. On campus, Shinichi is sleepy from playing video games with Hana into the wee hours of the morning. She later finds him taking a nap between classes and also falls asleep next to him.

Hana is worried she will not be able to hang out with Shinichi once he graduates from college. Since she is adamantly convinced that he likes her, and not the other way around, she plots to make him confess his feelings to her. She cooks him lunch, which attracts the interest of her whole family. After Hana refuses to introduce her to Shinichi, Yanagi visits the café.

Hana has a meltdown at the café because Shinichi does not call her by her first name, although he does with other people and he called Yanagi by her first name not ten minutes after they met. Back home, Yanagi tells her mother about her meeting with Shinichi, making Tsuki spiral down into further misunderstandings. Kiri is stressed studying for exams and lack of physical activity. As such, he goes to exercise at the gym where his father works to cheer himself up. However, when Shinichi also shows up, Kiri ends up feeling completely outclassed.

It's Christmas Eve, and Hana finds a way to spend it with Sakurai at her home. He's introduced to her father Fujio, who knows him from somewhere...
