Maho gets depressed upon hearing that the team is underhanded. Saki catches up with her and, after a duel overseen by Subaru, reinvigorates Maho's resolve to play. After initial reluctance, the Suzuridani sport supervisor allows the team to compete against the main team on a 5 vs. 5 match. Soon after, the Suzuridani coach, realizing Aoi's feelings for Subaru, set up a situation for her to confess, but the two resolve to do their best to coach the team together instead. The following day, the exhibition match starts off slowly as Maho is so eager to show off that she compromises her team's integrity.
