Episode Title:
In No Way is That a Waste! / I Have a Secret Plan!
Episode Description:
Tamaki reasons that Tina's removal from the band improves their chances at winning against Bitter Ganache, and Tina herself considers leaving. However, Lilisa rejects Tamaki's demands, reiterating her desire for the band to express their true selves. She insists for more time to coach Tina, which Tamaki grudgingly accepts. On the way home, Otoha teases Tamaki, noting how the latter had many similarities to Tina when she first picked up an interest in rock music. Five days later, the band practices again, and while Tamaki is impressed by Tina's improved skill, she still does not deem it good enough. Otoha then reveals she also helped in Tina's training, which convinces Tamaki to give Tina a chance. On the day of the battle of the bands, the girls arrive at the venue and get into a brief confrontation with Bitter Ganache. Upon finding out most of the crowd are attending purely to see Tamaki, a jealous Lilisa swears to make a performance that surpasses hers.
