Episode Title:
Her Open Wound.
Episode Description:
The episode starts after Kyoko's job has finished. She sees Ren and remembers what she did at her previous meeting with him (Kyoko gave him a bad gesture). She also recalls the side of Ren she experienced when dressed up as Bo, and blushes. She doesn't notice Ren staring at her from far away, and when, unexpectedly, Ren gives her a very radiant gentlemanly smile, she tries to run. Because of Ren's long legs he catches up to her by just walking gracefully. Kyoko panics and heads for the girls' bathroom, which is the only place Ren won't find her, but arriving at the door she sees that Ren has caught up to her and asks why she didn't greet him. Kyoko cries and apologises which makes Ren laugh, the manager sees it and is surprised. Later on, Ren gives Kyoko a ride back home and even gives her advice for the next day's audition for a commercial. At the audition, she runs into Moko. Moko is having problems. Her childhood nemesis Erika Koenji has shown up at the same audition. Ever since Moko got the lead in a school play, Erika has been obsessed with crushing Moko's dream of becoming an actress. Moko, still running away from her, decides not to compete in the second round. Angry with Moko's lack of guts and faith in her own talent, Kyoko decides to slap some sense into her, and gets her to finally stand up to Erika. While they argue and work out their differences, a mysterious man listens nearby, and appears interested in their conversation.
