In Episode 10 of "Rent-a-Girlfriend" Season 3, the episode revolves around Sumi, one of the less talkative characters in the series. The lack of dialogue from Sumi results in an episode that draws attention to the less engaging elements of the show. For example, bystanders make remarks about how attractive Kazuya's dates are, and Kazuya himself delivers a banal internal monologue.

In the episode, it becomes apparent that Sumi is wearing a swimsuit under her regular clothes, which aligns with an imaginary scene where Kazuya sees her in the same swimsuit. However, the episode provides no explanation as to why she is wearing a swimsuit when no beach visit was planned.

The main goal of the episode is to showcase Sumi's attempts to lift Kazuya's spirits. Eventually, they reach the beach, which seems to have been chosen at random, as it was the destination of the first train they found. Sumi writes a message in the sand, stating that positivity begins with a smile. This appears to be her way of helping Kazuya, who is on a quest to cheer up Chizuru.
