The episode begins after Aqua saves Akane from a suicide attempt at a crosswalk. The shockwaves of this event ripple through the entire cast of the reality show, who band together to restore Akane's public image.

Outside the show, however, the portrayal of the suicide attempt in the reality series faces criticism, particularly from Hana Kimura's mother. This parallel to real life runs like a thread through the episode, highlighting the harsh reality of cyberbullying and its consequences.

While Akane rests off-screen, waiting for a shift in public sentiment, her fellow cast members strive to humanize her experience, and their efforts seem to have a positive influence on public perception. Yet, it remains clear that Akane is still a victim, anxiously monitoring the evolving situation online.

Meanwhile, Kana admits to Aqua that she had hoped Akane would withdraw from the industry out of humiliation, eliminating her as a rival. This candid conversation exposes the cutthroat nature of the entertainment business and underscores the pressures that drive people like Akane to despair.

In the final part of the episode, Akane’s impressive acting talent shines. Through thorough research and preparation, she manages to internalize and perfectly imitate the traits of another actress, Ai. This display of Akane’s abilities not only underscores her extraordinary skill but also serves as a stark reminder of what she could lose if her career were to end prematurely.
