Summary[]
Akane sheds a tear as she watches the video the cast has prepared. Previous criticisms have mostly died down barring a small number who still insists on talking about it.
Later, Akane visits to the set, announce that her return for the next filming session. Yuki tells her not push herself if she is not ready while Mem-Cho and Aqua suggest that Akane creates a role for herself, so her real self would not get hurt again. Akane takes on the idea but is unsure of what kind of role. Since Aqua is the only boy in the room, Mem-Cho and Yuki ask him what his ideal girl is. Aqua describes Ai to them, which Mem-Cho surprisingly deduces. So Akane tries to play Aqua's ideal girl, but Aqua firmly believes that Ai cannot be imitated.
Happy that Aqua made the video and went looking for her during the storm, Akane wants to repay the favor. Akane looks up information about Ai in order to portray such a role, Akane thoroughly analyzes Ai, including her history, personality, and character quirks.
Back at Ichigo-Pro, Kana asks Aqua if Akane will be all right and is disappointed that Aqua believes that she will be fine. Realizing what has just said, she explains that due to her rivalry with Akane as an actress, they are always in each others' way. She continues to describe her as acting genius.
On the day of the filming session, Akane first apologizes for the trouble she has caused and gets on with the filming. As the cameras start rolling, she shows off her impression of Ai, leaving Aqua completely stunned.
