After Marin's unsuccessful love confession to Kai, Uka reflects on her own feelings and wonders whether she should reveal her love for him. An unplanned karaoke session with Marin leads Uka to accidentally disclose her preference for "blonde hair and a laid-back style"—a clear reference to Kai. This moment strengthens her resolve to no longer hide her feelings, but she hesitates out of fear of ruining their existing dynamic.
Meanwhile, the class prepares for the school sports day, where Uka is surprisingly chosen as a runner for the relay. Her determination to prove herself mirrors her growing self-confidence. At the same time, the tension between Uka and Kai deepens when he protects her from pushy classmates and emphasizes their close bond.
As Uka designs creative team shirts, conversations with Ayumi and other friends reveal her conflicting emotions: she wavers between admiration and romantic attraction. A pivotal moment occurs when Uka finds Kai in the storage room, where she promises to always be there for him—even if it means pushing her own limits.
During the relay race, Uka shines with her speed and surprises everyone, while conflicts with jealous older students escalate in the background. The episode culminates in an emotional climax as Uka—inspired by Ayumi's advice—comes close to confessing her love to Kai but holds back at the last moment. The episode ends with an ambiguous look toward the future, as Uka realizes her feelings are no longer controllable.
