After the Producer endup in the hospital in critical condition, Haruka’s emotional turmoil continues to tear her appart to the part she can’t even think properly. She returns to her hometown for a break and think things over and try to remember why she wanted to become an idol in the first place.

Impression:
This was another emotional episode. Haruka completely snapped. She was broken and in wreck. She couldn’t even remember why she wanted to be an Idol in the first place.
;A; OH HARUKA COME HERE, LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG!
The main reason why she succeeded in getting the lead role for the musical she was competing for with Miki was because the way she read the script, and was literally voicing her true feelings that she keeps to herself. If Chihaya were there at the time, I’m certain she’d realize that something is terribly wrong within a heartbeat.
I kind of unintentionally squealed when I saw Haruka bump into Touma for the millionth time where he wasn’t an ass to her and invited her to their concert their were going to be hosting in her town. That’s my shipping heart for you, of course I’m sure it’s clear enough already that there’s going to be absolute no romance involved in this series. Boo hoo…
 
Overall this was another fantastic, bittersweet episode. I was crying with Haruka and I was really happy that Chihaya decided to step up and gather the team together to speak for Haruka and her own behalf about what their schedules are doing to them. Miki who had witnessed Haruka breaking down in confusion took that as a warning sign of what could potentially happen to her in the future, and decided to decline an offer to be on a show.
With the lack of practice, crazy ass schedules and the family finally reunited will they be able to pull off their New Years show?!
OMG VANTAGE THIS WORKS SO WELL!!!! WE PLANNED TO HAVE THE FINAL EPISODE ON NEW YEARS EVE BEFORE WE EVEN WATCHED IT!!! HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME!!!
