Aired on November 28, 2009

Touya travels to Haruka’s mountain residence to locate Mana, who has fled her home. Upon arrival, he observes Haruka resuming her horseback riding and tennis practice. Meanwhile, Tamaru confronts Misaki, demanding she write an article for him in exchange for withholding secret photographs of Touya and Yayoi. Menou steps in to resolve the conflict by proposing a fabricated scandal to distract from the real situation involving Touya. This plan aims to replace the truth with a staged event, allowing the group to avoid the consequences of the leaked images while maintaining their current social standing.
