A brief recap of episode 1
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 1 starts with Hori thinking back on her high school memories. The episode then takes viewers back in time to a school trip to Kyoto, where Hori, Yuki, Miyamura, Toru, and Shuu had a memorable journey as the group encounters plenty of events during the trip.
Starting from Shuu's bizarre souvenir finding to the rush of eating to hilarious and awkward occurrences at the common bathhouse, the comic level increases when Toru unexpectedly announces that Miyamura was having his periods to save him from taking baths with others. Later, Miyamura meets Hori, who, knowing about Miyamura's hidden tattoos, lets him use her bathroom to shower.
After the trip, the students return to their regular school days, and Miyamura was seen getting soaked and later interrogated by Remi, who nearly discovers his secret. Toru then urges him to wear the female sailor uniform and grow his hair to maintain his disguise after he tells him about the incident.
Meanwhile, Kakeru, who happened to be passing by at the moment, gets pulled into the conversation that Hori overhears, noting to ask Miyamura's opinion on uniforms. The episode concludes with Miyamura and Kakeru being assigned to clean the pool area for refusing to attend the mandatory swimming class. At the end of Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 1, Shu was seen hilariously cramped and panicking in the pool.
What to expect in the upcoming episode
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 2 will adapt the previously uncovered stories from the original manga that were left out of Daisuke Hagiwara's 13-episode anime adaptation.

Nonetheless, the timeline of Horimiya: The Missing Pieces will progress and the sequence of events is sure to continue in the upcoming episode.
