Episode Title:
Nico Strikes.
Episode Description:
Honoka and Kotori are confronted by a curious girl named Nico Yazawa, who tells them they should break up. Meanwhile, as the rainy season causes the club to think about where they can practice, Honoka realizes that they could try and form an official club now they have enough members. Just then, they catch Nico trying to steal their food and insult their lack of professionalism. The girls learn from Eli that they can't form their idol club as there is already an Idol Research Club, whose sole member turns out to be Nico. After Nico rejects their offer of merging the groups, student vice-president Nozomi explains how Nico had previously attempted to start her own school idol group, which fell apart due to setting the bar too high. After thinking things over with the group, Honoka comes up with the idea that they should all join the Idol Research Club together to learn how to improve μ's, inviting Nico to join the group as their coach.
