Aired on March 16, 2009

Kyoko's portrayal of Mio is now well-developed and widely accepted by the entire cast, including Ms. Iizuka. However, complications arise when Ren's acting fails to meet his usual high standards, leading to numerous takes as predicted by the president in 'Invitation to the Moon'. It is eventually revealed that one cause of these difficulties is that Kyoko's Mio is somewhat intimidating. Despite this challenge, Ren vows to make his version of Katsuki outshine the original and become the equal of Kyoko's character.
