EPISODIUM
Yūto has to make a tough decision of whether to stay with Haruka or leave her so she can become an idol. Yūto asks Milan to attend her concert on Valentine's Day. During the concert, Yūto, with some "on-stage prodding" by Milan, decides to leave so as to go to Haruka's audition. Shiina is worried about Yūto and Haruka's relationship. Yūto decides that he wants to stay with Haruka and it is finally revealed to the unaware Haruka how Yayoi had planned to make her into an idol. Yayoi and Nozomi try desperately to stop him, but Haruka's family and maids help to get the upper hand against them. The final blow comes when they are later forced out of their talent agency after Haruka's father buys it and all associated material from them in a hostile takeover. Later at the Nogizaka mansion, as Akiho and Gento watches Yayoi and Nozomi in some mud wrestling contest on TV, Haruka gives a Valentine's present to Yūto.
