Ep. 8: Ikuto enfrenta crise familiar e pressão financeira durante as finais com tema no personagem wa.

The theme of the finals is revealed to be the Japanese character "wa", where anything associated with the character is allowed, and designers are allowed to use models from Geika or have their own, with Ikuto planning to ask Chiyuki. However, he is alerted that his mother in critical condition after repeatedly being in and out of the hospital. Ikuto later realizes that she was holding back her operation so he could have enough money for the Geika Festival. He is forced to choose between his family and his own dream as Toh tries to use his patternmaking skills, while Igarashi tries to bribe him into influencing Kokoro to give up her own designing aspirations. Ikuto finally snaps when he lashes out at his second youngest sister, Aoi. He then meets with Chiyuki's father, who was informed of Ikuto's financial situation. As such, he offers to buy the design Ikuto made for Chiyuki for two million yen in exchange for him comforting his daughter for not receiving a single offer in Paris. A grateful Ikuto asks Chiyuki to star as a model for his collection at the Geika Festival, to which she accepts. (Source: Wikipedia)
