Aired on May 2, 2013

29
Ichigo, Aoi, and Ran seek to improve their responsibility as upperclassmen while trying to catch up to Mizuki. They encounter first-year student Akane Mimori, who admires Aoi. Orihime assigns the trio to teach freshmen about being idols. The girls struggle to develop lesson concepts and ask Akane for input, learning she wants to hear about their personal experiences. During the session, Ran fails to engage the audience with questions, and Ichigo neglects her teaching duties entirely. In contrast, Aoi remains focused and delivers an insightful discussion on idol life, earning high praise from the students. As a reward for their efforts, Orihime gives the girls rare Spring Collection cards, which they subsequently utilize in a performance.
