The episode begins with Kano feeling inspired by their successful improvised performance as JELEE impersonators. She suggests hosting a proper live show for Halloween where the group wears masks. The girls prepare intensely, writing songs, designing outfits, setting up the stage, creating posters, and promoting the event on social media. They organize all of this while staying at an underwater love hotel that Mei booked.

However, their plans are derailed when an opposing SunDolls fan exposes Nono-tan's past, sparking an online controversy. Many are upset that a "violent" idol is attempting a comeback without properly atoning for it. Kano feels responsible for the chaos and apologizes to her friends for dragging them into the project. Yet Yoru, Mei, and Kiui reassure her that they share her dream and will do everything to make the live show happen.

When the Tornado manager cancels the show due to potential threats, Mei offers money as collateral to keep it going. Finally, Kiui proposes a solution: the show should be livestreamed without a physical audience. Using a projector, they display fan art created under the hashtag #JeleeIsThisGirl to emphasize that the artists' true identities don't matter—only JELEE's music and imagery do.

After the livestream, the girls stand exhausted but triumphant in Tornado's green room. Kano wants to ride the momentum and host another big event for New Year's. Meanwhile, Kano's mother, who watched the livestream, contacts Yoru to commission art for the current SunDolls. It's unclear whether her intentions are genuine or an attempt to create tension between Kano and Yoru.
