Watching back footage of their lessons, the members agree to come up with a plan to improve their performances. Makino and Saegusa are discussing in the office how the group are almost ready to debut. While walking home, Makino and Mana meet Mei Hayasaka who needs help. Later, Makino tells Mana that something feels off within the group, and they visit Mei again. Mei shows Makino a girl dancing in the distance; she tells him that she is Rei Ichinose, who won a high school dance competition. Makino then asks Mei if she wants to be an idol.

At the office, Makino announces that Hoshimi Production will be debuting as two groups with Kotono and Sakura as the respective leaders.

Makino tells all members of Hoshimi Production that their debut live has been decided; it will be held on the special stage at the Hoshimi Festival, which is where Mana also made her debut.

Saegusa tells the members that the Next Venus Grand Prix will be returning after a three year hiatus. Both Sunny Peace and Tsuki no Tempest decide to enter the competition.

At the Next Venus Grand Prix preliminaries, Sunny Peace and Tsuki no Tempest are competing for one of sixteen spots for the final round. Later, Sakura asks Makino to accompany her to her check-up at the doctors, but they are interrupted by the other members. They tell him that LizNoir are at the studio. Rio then calls Kotono an inferior copy of Mana. Back at the dorms, the members read online posts about them. Kotono becomes upset at being compared to Mana.

At the Hoshimi dorms, Kotono tells the story of her final fight with Mana, and tells Sakura that she wants her to sing Mana's unreleased song at the Grand Prix.
