Ep. 6: Aqua observes idol realities while Akane faces cyberbullying after a public altercation.
During the Love Now season, Aqua realizes reality stars are more genuine than scripted. Kana instructs Ruby on the risks of egosurfing for idols managing their online reputation. The program highlights a love triangle involving Yuki, Nobuyuki, and Kengo, prompting Aqua to remain uninvolved. MEM-cho gains subscribers, but Akane struggles for attention and receives minimal screentime. Pressured by her agency, Akane loses control and slaps Yuki, accidentally scratching her face with fresh nails. Although Yuki forgives her and Akane issues an apology, she faces intense cyberbullying from Yuki's fans. Overwhelmed by negative comments, Akane becomes depressed and nearly jumps from a pedestrian overpass, only to be rescued at the last moment by Aqua.
