Episode Description:
As Aqua narrowly saves Akane's life, Kana cautions Ruby that it is not uncommon for celebrities to commit suicide due to harassment. Meanwhile, Aqua and Akane are brought to the police station where the rest of the Love Now cast goes to meet them. Aqua advises Akane that she still has the option of dropping out of the show, but she decides to stay on. Angry at the show staff who edited the footage to cast Akane as a villain, Aqua concocts a plan. First, he leaks news about Akane's attempted suicide to the media. He then enlists the help of the cast members to create a video to rehabilitate Akane's image. The video proves to be a success, and most of the harassment against Akane dies down. MEM-cho and Yuki then suggest that Akane use her acting skills to adopt a persona that would appeal to Aqua's tastes. When Aqua reveals his like for Ai, Akane aggressively studies her to emulate her behavior. At the next filming session, Akane officially returns to the show, and Aqua is shocked at how perfectly Akane is able to mimic Ai's personality.
