Shizuka makes an announcement at her birthday party that may leave the way open for Tsukushi to have Rui. Meanwhile, Tsukasa asks Tsukushi out on a date that goes very wrong.

Tsukushi and Rui kiss on the beach and are caught by Tsukasa. Now, Tsukasa will do anything in his power to punish them. He orders Tsukushi never speak to him again and kicks Rui out of the F4. Not even his sister, back from America, can change his mind.

Tsukushi has an on-and-off romantic entanglement with a hothead named Tsukusa. Tsukasa has a sketchy relationship with his even more hotheaded mother, who has hired a near sociopath to woo Tsukushi and destroy her son's romance.
