---- Yesterday, at Hanayo's house ----

Rin: Kayochin......what's wrong?
Hanayo: (Crying really hard.....)
Rin: Kayochin?!!!
Hanayo: Rin-chan....I.....sorry, but can I hug you for a while?
Rin: ......sure....

---- At Honoka's house ----

Rin: Hey guys, do you know why Kayochin has been crying lately, nyah?
Kotori: I heard that she just watched Episode 3 ahead of us, so.....
Rin: Ohhh......why would she cry over it.....
Honoka: AAAAAAHH!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS SO SAD!! LET'S WATCH THIS EPISODE, NOW!!!
Maki: Nico's still watching too, huh?
Nico: I am just keeping a close eye on them.

-----

(The intro - young Hanamaru - and a brief glimpse of young Yoshiko.)

Kotori: KAWAIII!!!
Nico: Oooookeeey.....what is she doing?
Maki: I don't wanna know.....
Umi: They did not say anything about Yoshiko having mental illness when she was a child, did they?
Nozomi: Nope. She's not mentally ill or something...
Umi: Something is still wrong with her though.
Rin: Hey....let's focus on Hanamaru, please?

(Chika, Riko and You get a messy, new clubroom......)

Nico: .......this is too familiar.....at least my clubroom was waaaaayyy cleaner than that!!

Maki: Glad that Nico has some good traits.....

Nico: Well, living alone makes you do everything like cleaning and cooking all by yourself.....

Hanayo: I hope that our school's clubroom is still clean....even after we abandoned it....

Rin: I think the new student council is using it, nyah....

Honoka: The memories.......

(Chika notices some bleak writings at a whiteboard......)

Eri: CONSPIRACY!! HEY, THOSE WRITINGS MEAN SOMETHING!!

Umi: They look like......lyrics from a song?!

Honoka: HOW MYSTERIOUS!!

Nico: Calling it. That clubroom is a former idol clubroom - I speculate that writing is from Dia herself.....

Eri: .....OHHH I GET IT!! That might explain why Dia doesn't like.....good one Nico!!

Rin: We shouldn't make guesses on what happened, nyah....

(Flashback to where Hanamaru and Ruby first met.)

Umi: The library?!! How interesting!!
Maki: Cool.
Rin: What a smart meeting.....
Eri: They both sure love to read books, huh?
Nico: Boring.
Nozomi: You say that cuz you don't read books nor do you go to libraries!
Nico: Really boring, still!!
Umi: Idiot.....geez.....

(At the library - Chika barges in to recruit Hanamaru!!)

Umi: Another Honoka-way of recruitment......
Honoka: Come on, Umi-chan!! It's effective!!
Umi: Yeah it did work on us but suddenly going to people and making them join is rude and impulsive!
Maki: Exactly. Suddenly showing up while somebody is doing something like playing a piano while singing......
Honoka: Haha, you guys complain yet you joined anyway, right?!!
Maki: ........
Umi: ........
Rin: .........umm....yeah? I think a Honoka-style recruitment is better than a Nico-style.....
Nico: SHUT UP!! You think I am that bad at recruiting people?!
Nozomi: Hmmm.....not very pretty....trying to be cute with no sincerity....announcing that being a school idol is life-changing.....complaining when no one joins or looks at you......going all over the place like you're lost or something.....yep. Nico's recruitment is definitely gonna give people a negative, saleswoman-like impression...
Nico: I HATE YOU ALL!!
Nozomi: Observing you is a very fun habit to do when you're bored, hehe.....

(Hanamaru gets a Love Live magazine featuring u's to know who they are........)

Honoka: HEEEEEEYYYYY!!!
Kotori: WOOOOWWW!! She is looking at us right now!!

(....Hanamaru sees Rin's poster page - a photo of Rin in wedding dress during a fashion show catches Hanamaru's eye.)

Nico, Rin, Honoka, Maki, and Umi: OH MY GOD!!!
Eri: Well, well, well....
Nozomi: Oh I get now what this episode is gonna be.
Maki: I'm sure Hanayo cried at this scene....
Rin: ......wow. I am getting callbacks from that episode of ours back in Season 2.
Umi: I am glad the three of us were not around, otherwise Rin would've not wore such a beautiful dress....
Kotori: Umi-chan makes it sound like you, Honoka and I aren't that charming enough to make u's get popular....
Umi: Don't mistake my intentions......
Nozomi: Looks like Ms. Zura is gonna be a Rin fangirl soon.....
Rin: I hope so! I like her already a lot, nyah.....
Maki: Do we need "zura-nyah" puns anyway?......no....forget what I just said.....

(Ruby wants to join but is too shy as usual......)

Honoka: .....these people need more confidence!!
Nico: I will complain if this episode is making a rip-off of our fourth episode back in the first Season.
Rin: Poor Ruby......she needs someone like Maki-chan to push her to join. She is so much like Kayochin....
Maki: God no. It isn't necessary....plus, who's the Maki in Aqours anyway?
Nico: It can't be Dia....I am totally convinced she's me all over with Eri's ego and Umi's persona. Nor would it ever be Chika, Riko and the others. Too obvious.
Kotori: I am calling either Kanan or Yoshiko is the Maki......
Eri: Oh yeah!! They are both not making an appearance yet, right?!
Maki: Yoshiko does but not Kanan. More appropriately, they are both NOT attending school at all.
Nozomi: We'll probably get a Yoshiko episode soon and a Kanan episode later. (I hope the Kanan one is gonna be enjoyable, teehee....)

(Ruby will join if Hanamaru joins - Hanamaru says she is not interested....)

Rin: I am relating so much to this....god, I want Kayochin by my side now!!
Kotori: She cried all over watching this episode and every moment of it, including this scene, that was what she texted me for.
Eri: It so common and cliche....."I won't join if you don't join with me"...very yuri.....Nozomi did it because of me.....Maki did it because of Hanayo....
Honoka: Hanamaru....you're lying....I feel you are interested to join....

(Hanamaru has a bright idea - DO A TRIAL AUDITION - in other words, join Aqours to do a test run without officially joining....)

Rin: WOW!!! How come me, Maki, and Kayochin never thought of something like that. Very smart, nyah!!
Maki: Whoa......yeah....why did I not think of that too.....
Honoka: Awww....I wish I would have done that to get more people.....but then u's would be more than nine people and things would be different.....okay...I am so happy I did not think of that!!
Umi: Sigh.....Honoka sounds so dumb and repetitive when she thinks too hard....
Nico: No comment......

(Ruby also reasons that her sister Dia doesn't want her to join....Hanamaru says she'll make it a secret....)

Rin: Hey!! Her sister isn't nice!!
Maki: Wow....what a bold move. Not telling your sister is not a good secret to hide well......
Nico: Geez....trying to get yourselves in trouble or what?!!
Eri: Wow......

(Auditon begins!! Both Ruby and Hanamaru practice with Aqours.....Hanamaru seems to be taking interest.....)

Kotori: Hana-chan is starting to get into it......
Umi: We've been spoiled to know she has to, right? Unless all this is just a big joke which I will find offensive.
Eri: I think I am getting the theme of this episode.....and the way Hanamaru narrates it is refreshing.....

(Ruby mentioned Dia started hating idols during her first year.....)

Kotori: This hurts.....what happened to Dia.....
Eri: CONSPIRACY!! WE JUST GOT OUR FIRST HINT!!
Umi: Darn it, Dia. Why?
Honoka: Oh come on, why!!? You guys read the LL magazine together too....
Nico: It is official. Dia is legit a u's fanatic wearing clothes to pretend and all......and is an Eri fan....
Eri: Oh.....she's a fan of me huh? I am gonna look forward to it!! I am honored!!
Rin: Uggghhhh....it hurts seeing all this.....
Eri: Yeah.....it is kinda sad....I WANNA KNOW WHY!!
Umi: You both read the 5th Anniversary Issue of Love Live.....this hurts.....

(When everybody begins to jog on towards a high hill/mountain.....)

Umi: Good times......
Honoka and Rin: For you....Miss Tyrant Who Loves Mountains......
Umi: I will kill you both.
Honoka and Rin: Eeeeekkkk. No please. Just kidding.
Umi: Hmph!!

(As everyone climbs upstairs.....Hanamaru lags behind as she gets tired going up......)

Maki: Ouch.......
Rin: Oh my....I have feels.....
Umi: Are things getting emotional now?!!

(Hanamaru tells Ruby to go without her. Ruby did go. Then Hanamaru walked downhill and starts narrating about how she was there to support Ruby and that is it. Her story ends there and she does not need to join Aqours.....)

Kotori: Oh my....she is such a caring friend....but is too caring to have dreams of her own....
Honoka: HEYYYY!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!? DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
Umi: Jesus....she narrates it so well like reading poetry. I get emotional from what I am hearing!!
Maki: God......I am getting uncomfortable with the feels too......
Nico: Whooooaaaa....okey, she is something.......
Rin: You should not think like that, Hanamaru-chan. I know you care but....

---- Hanayo calls Kotori by phone secretly ----

Hanayo: Hello?!!
Kotori: HANAYO-CHAN!!
Hanayo: Hey.....ummm, is Rin-chan watching the episode right now?
Kotori: Totally!! If you see her now, you's see how emotional she is right now.

(Hanamaru goes downstairs.......and meets with Dia.....)

Umi: OH MY?!!!
Maki: OH NO.......
Eri: Wait, she planned this?!!
Rin: Oh my.....please, I don't want sister fights or anything like that, nyah....
Nico: Well well.......

(Hanamaru brings Ruby and Aqours to face Dia. Ruby confesses....)

Umi: THINGS ARE GETTING TENSE!!!
Maki: She's an idiot to keep it secret. Dia is gonna be really angry now....
Nico: Deserved it.....
Honoka: Dia, I'll be mad if you do anything.....
Rin: Please....no fights......
Eri: Come on Dia. Ruby says she really wants to do it. You cannot control her......
Umi: Ugghhh.....this is not gonna end well.....

(Next day. Dia accepts and Ruby becomes part of Aqours. But she notices what Hanamaru did.....)

Umi: NO WAY!! DIA ACCEPTS WITHOUT MUCH PROTEST!!?
Honoka: YAAAAYYYY!!!
Eri: She's really honourable, huh.....
Nico: Interesting....I like how considerate she is.....
Maki: They are so young yet they love making decisions without your consent......
Kotori: Awww.....I am tearing up a tiny bit......
Nozomi: This is enjoyable!!!

(Ruby rushes to Hanamaru. She tells her she wants Hanamaru to join - and that she noticed Hanamaru desired to join....)

Rin: I CANNOT TAKE THIS GUYS!! There is too much love!!
Honoka: I won't hesitate to cry of happiness!!
Umi: So much realization, self-reflection and deep meanings in this episode....god!!
Maki: I like how well written this is turning out!!
Eri: Guys, notice how much this episode is emphasizing the Rin-Hanayo relationship. It is sooo similar and meaningful!!
Rin: Oh god....it will make me cry.....now know why Kayochin cried....
Nico: ........I am speechless with what I am seeing right now....
Kotori: (whisper)...you are coming here now, Hanayo-chan?!.....okey....do it soon!!!

(Once more, Chika invites Hanamaru to join.....and will understand if she does not still........HANAMARU SAYS YES!!)

Honoka, Rin, and Kotori: YAAAAAYYY!!!
Maki: Awesome.
Umi: Finally!! God...my face....
Eri: Harasho guys.....

(Hanamaru joins Aqours! She mentions indirectly how Rin inspired her to write a story of her own instead of just being a supporter of someone else's story.)

Rin: No way.....I got a fan now....
Kotori: AWWWW!! They clearly focused on Rin's poster!!
Rin: Guys, I feel sooo touched by now....I....I can't believe she sees me as my inspiration!!
Maki: I told you that the wedding dress suited you perfectly, Rin-chan.
Nico: Gotta say that Rin-chan already has her number one fan....
Nozomi: Hmmm...this is the first time Nicocchi has said anything positive....
Nico: Hmph!! I am still not impressed that nobody I have seen so far wants me to be her inspiration!!
Maki: (Sits right beside Nico to inspire her....)....Nico...you already have someone who is inspired by you......
Nico: .......Maki.....
Maki: .....don't judge....I...whatever!!
Umi: Guys, I am awestruck by how amazing her literacy is. She is sooo poetic with her narration!!
Nozomi: This episode does sound like you're reading a novel.
Kotori: Hey, Rin!! Hanayo is coming right now to see us....
Rin: KAYOCHIN?!!
Umi: Kotori....you should have told us sooner....

----After watching the episode----

Maki: It's a RinPana episode.
Eri: Yeah....it is....
Nico: And it copies our Episode 4, Season 1...but deeper and better kinda?....geez....I am ignored again.....
Umi: I....I can't believe.....she had to reference Rin so much.....Rin?!!
Kotori: Where's Rin-chan!!?
Everyone: EHHHHHHHH!!!!?

---- Rin meets Hanayo outside the house. Hugs her immediately with little time for Hanayo to react -----

Hanayo: Rin!!!
Rin: KAYOCHIN!!! (crying)
Hanayo: Rin-chan....don't cry....I know....I know that episode made you feel that way but.....
Rin: Kayochin........
Hanayo: I'm not.......I'm not crying because I'm sad.....I am just happy to have met a loving person like you in my life!!

---- Everyone meets together...----

Hanayo: Ehe.....looks like the episode affectes everybody....
Kotori: I am glad you came just in time!!
Maki: Let us give them some private space....I know they completely enjoyed the episode.

---- The 7 girls returned inside and made an episode review. ----

Eri: Let us review. I love it. It was deep and emotional. The minds of those two little girls blew my mind. So mature!
Nico: It was good. But I still feel something isn't right with the episode.
Nozomi: Oh. I just noticed that Hanamaru hardly did any "zuras".....
Umi: It is more realistic that she didn't.
Honoka: Hanamaru is a great storyteller.
Maki: Everything was RinPana all the way.
Kotori: Overall, everyone liked it?!
Everyone: Yes!!
Nico: I am annoyed with the next episode's preview.....
Maki: Yohane....
Nico: Yohane....
Umi: Yoshiko....
Kotori: Yohane!!...
Honoka: .....me too. I hope it isn't a messy one.
Eri: I WANT TO SEE IT SOON!!!!

---- Meanwhile....Rin and Hanayo leave u's behind and do things on their own...now that they stopped crying. ----

Hanayo: I love you.
Rin: I love you too, nyah! And I love Hanamaru!!
Hanayo: Hehe, yeah!! Someday, I wanna know their phone numbers!!
Rin: Next time, let us ask for a trip to Numazu!! I wanna meet them!!
Hanayo: I don't think we're allowed to do that.
Rin: Awww.....oh well. Kayochin, let us buy ramen together.
Hanayo: Sure!!

-----
