The episode begins in an esports café, where a group of friends, including Akito and Shun, are immersed in an online game. Shun's younger sister interrupts the game and wants to join, but is turned away. The café is run by Nozomi, who is also Shun's girlfriend and works there part-time. Shun's father owns the café and is in debt, which threatens the café's future.
Shun is a diligent student who gave up gaming to focus on school and his younger sister Mio. He wants to secure a scholarship to a good school to ensure a stable future. Akito, on the other hand, dreams of becoming a professional athlete.
Tensions escalate when Jonathan, a professional esports player and regular at the café, decides to leave his team Fox One due to payment issues. This jeopardizes the future of the café, which is counting on the prize money from an upcoming championship. Shun's father desperately begs Shun and his friends to fill in for the departing team members. Nozomi tries to stop Shun, knowing he quit gaming for his family's sake.
Akito challenges Shun to a game, saying that if Shun performs poorly, his father won't recruit him for the team. During the match, Shun encounters an old gaming buddy, Explosion-kun, and rediscovers his love for the game. The episode ends with Shun agreeing to help his father's team in the championship, marking his return to the gaming world he had left behind.
