As an audition is held for the starring role in a new drama alongside Ichigo, Aoi, and Ran, a new transfer student, Juri Kurebayashi, expresses her passionate desire to win the role. Hinaki reveals Juri was once a child star like she was, who has much gentler and sweeter before she mysteriously quit acting a few years ago, becoming curious as to why she returned. On the day of the audition, Juri becomes irritated when her famous actor mother, Karen, comes to watch and starts attracting attention. Juri later explains that, having seen her mother practise so hard for her own roles, she decided she didn't want to ride on the coattails of her mother's success and instead take time off from acting in order to train herself to become a true actress with her own power. Receiving encouragement from Akari to show her own strength, Juri performs confidently in her audition and wins the role.
