Nanami wounds up sick after having pushed herself to her limit on the day of her performance. However she still wants to go but the others insists that she stays home. Mashiro takes a stand and backs Nanami up insisting that they should let her go.

Impression:
Aww, this was such a sweet episode. I loved that we were able to see Misaki, Jin, and Sorata being lead by Mashiro who was determined to help Nanami get to her performance at all cost. It was the cutest thing.
Mashiro is slowly but surely starting to get better at expressing herself and her thoughts out loud. To see her taking action today was a major highlight, so I am really looking forward to see how her character will develop. To be honest I am not sure whether there will ever be a time in this series where Mashiro will be independently taking care of herself and her chores, but it is certainly something I would like to see by the end of the show.
Poor Nanami, everyone saw it coming- especially for her to end up falling ill on the most important date, her  performance. I feel terrible for her since she ended up letting her team down and they said that she should have stayed home instead. It was touching when Sorata said the one thing that she has been dying to hear for so long, “You are doing the best you can. We all know that.” because it is the first time she actually hears someone acknowledging her efforts.
It is going to be pretty sad when Misaki eventually learns about Jin not attending the same university as her. Worst of all, it is almost guranteed that she will discover it on her own or through someone else rather than from Jin himself. Either way, no matter what happens, it is going to be heartbreaking.
Overall great episode, I honestly don’t have much to say about it. It wasn’t boring, but it wasn’t particularly exciting either. It was just plain sweet.
PS: DAT PREVIEW, WIN!!!!!!
