When Nakatsu notices the bandaid the next day he right freaks out, drags Mizuki to the health room, and proceeds to pester her about Sano
until Umeda shouts at him for being a loud idiot. After a little chat with Umeda, Mizuki heads outside and bumps into Kinuko, who's injured
her arm and needs Mizuki to take pictures of Sano for her. Sano plays it up for the camera, of course :p Later Mizuki is caught reading a
book by Sano, a book she doesn't want to show to him...But when she leaves to get juice, Sano picks it up and finds it to be an astrology
text. He finds out he's a capricorn and is spooked by that month's prediction.
At the competition, Sano meets up with Kagurazaka, who's happy to see him competing at his level. Mizuki and Nakatsu've snuck in and
see Shin! They drag him off the walkway into the bushes to chat him up. Unfortunately they're a bit too loud and capture Kagurazaka's
attention. He calls them out, telling them as long as they're quiet no one will notice they're not supposed to be there. Elsewhere, Sano's
fans are harassing him (nicely). Mizuki comes in, surprising Sano with her being their but bringing to mind his horoscope. Shin and Sano
meet up, but can't seem to speak to each other. Mizuki cheers them on from the sidelines and eventually they get talking. But Kagurazaka
comes along and messing things up, challenging both Sano and Shin to beat him.
That night, Sano thanks Mizuki for meddling, knowing he wouldn'tve spoken to his brother otherwise. At practice the next day, Mizuki sneaks
in again and is caught my Shin, who claims she looks like a girl! Kagurazaka makes the first jump, impressing everyone, even Shin. When
Mizuki goes off to get water for the Sano brothers, Kinuko accosts her, trying to get her to let her into the exhibition. Mizuki declines
but talks about Kagurazaka's amazing jump. From her Mizuki finds out Shin's coach is their father, Sano Takehiko! Mizuki wars with telling
Sano the news...But when Shin jumps, Sano knows right away. That night, Sano regrets taking out his anger for his father on Shin. However,
the next day when Sano tries to apologise, Shin doesn't accept it.
Later, Mizuki feels depressed about Sano's situation, and Nakatsu stries to cheer her up...by "showing off his homoesexuality" (thanks
Kayashima). That night, Sano's out walking Yuujirou and thinking...Mizuki tries to cheer him up. Before Sano's exhibition, Mizuki talks
to Umeda and Akiha, who cheer her up in their own special way. But at practice, Sano misses the jump! Kagurazaka tells Mizuki and Nakatsu
Sano's been getting into fights with his brother and is completely drained. Mizuki's too frightened to approach Sano...so Nakatsu makes
the first move.
Later, Mizuki approaches Shin, wanting to talk. Shin's taken aback but the two go out for udon. Mizuki's a true nag...but also tells
Shin how much his brother loves and respects him, secretely pleasing Shin. When Mizuki gets home, Nakatsu greets her in the hallway
and tells her she can rely on him; Mizuki's moved. When she gets to the dorm, she tells Sano about her time with Shin. Elsewhere,
Shin greets his father...
