Ritsouko begins to develop feelings for Kaoru. This happens after she sees all the attention he is getting from other female classmates following his performance with Sentaro at the festival. She gets talked into knitting a scarf for him by one of her classmates who is knitting a scarf for a boy she has a crush on.
Kaoru doesn't seem to make anything of all the attention he is getting from his female classmates. He notices Ritsouko knitting a scarf but thinks it is for Sentaro. He confuses things further by telling her that he's sure the guy whom she's knitting the scarf for will like it with out being clear who that guy is.
Yurika catches up with Junichi. She spots him one day. His past is finally revealed. He has been disowned by his father after being involved in political protest movements in Tokyo. He tries to scare her away but she doesn't scare easily. She decides, against the wishes of her parents, that she is going to help him out. She also cuts her hair short.
Sentaro is confused by Yurika's hair cut. He thinks that Junichi broke her heart. He goes to see Junichi only to find that Yurika is there with him. He wasn't ready to see that and runs off. After a jam session, Kaoru advises him that he should forget about Yurika and stop ignoring the one who cares for him. I might be remembering it wrong but it was something like that. Sentaro doesn't know who Kaoru is talking about until later in the episode when he remembers some things that Ritsouko confided in him when they were much younger.
This was a more interesting episode. I don't know what impact waiting so long between episodes had but I'm very happy that I came back to watch another episode. It had been over 5 weeks since I last watched. There is very little music in this one but I'm okay with that. There was more than enough interpersonal drama to make up for the lack of good music. The only music-oriented scene that I recall is the jam session and that didn't last very long.
