Nao is bad at cooking and is nervous in home-ec class. With support from Makoto and Kei, Nao attempts to make hamburger steaks. Kei makes a curry. Makoto makes a salad and some cookies which look like witch pinkie fingers. All the food looks delicious. When they are ready to eat, they realize no one made the rice! Later, Makoto and Akane accompany their cousins to their apple orchard to thin the apple blossoms. Thinning the blossoms ensures that each apple will get a greater share of the nutrients and grow to be a perfect fruit. Makoto goes near the beehives. She lets one of the hornface bees land on her finger. These bees don't sting. But it bites her, and flies off to pollinate a flower.
