In Episode 8, the festive atmosphere in Numazu is palpable. At a local festival, various stalls are run by Aqours members. Mari's stall promotes awareness of Washimi Island, while Riko operates a stall with animal motifs. You displays postal products, Chika sells orange-flavored shaved ice, and Hanamaru and Ruby offer baked goods together. Kanan sets up a shooting gallery, and Yohane, known for her fortune-telling, has her own stall, though she also helps out at a takoyaki stand. Overseeing the entire festival is Dia, who seems to hold a certain authority in the village.
The main plot revolves around Yohane and her misplaced staff, which she believes empowers her to sing. When she can't find it, a minor crisis ensues, though Lailaps, a wolf with whom Yohane communicates in a unique way, tries to convince her of her innate talent. The search for the staff becomes a group mission, with Yohane receiving support from the Aqours members. Lailaps eventually finds the staff and discovers it ended up on a festival float because Yohane accidentally leaned it against a pony.
The climax of the episode is an Aqours performance, where Yohane's staff is nowhere to be seen despite the earlier commotion.
The Aqours members are consistently organized by school year. The festival outfits they wear subtly reflect this: the colors of the ruffles correspond to the ribbons of "Love Live! Sunshine!"—first-years in yellow, second-years in red, and third-years in green.
At the end of the episode, the Aqours group delivers a memorable performance, with the groups on stage clearly distinct from one another. The trio of Yohane, Riko, and Mari stands out particularly, as they share a segment of the performance together.
