Mono episode 4 recap

Mono episode 4 starts with Haruno and Kako talking about wine. After Kako convinced Haruno, both of them, alongside Amamiya, Kirimaya, and Shikishima, go to a wine cellar in Katsunuma. However, on the way, they take a detour to a wine glass shop to buy glasses for wine tasting.
After they buy the glasses, they visit the cellar, which Kako explains is a converted old railway tunnel in Katsunuma. After trying a few wines, Haruno starts to feel dizzy. While Kako accompanies a drunk Haruno, the three girls make their way to the Hot Springs. While they are soaking in the water and talking, Amamiya tells them that they should visit again once they turn 20 to drink wine.
After a while, when Kako brings a drunk Haruno to the girls, she finds out that all of them were exhausted from the day trip. After they return, later in the episode, the school declares summer vacation. On their way back, they visit Haruno's shop, where they find Haruno sweating from the summer heat after she steps out of her air-conditioned room.
Haruno requests them to join the Yamanashi Full Course Photo Rally, to which the girls agree. After entering the rally, Amamiya discovers a hidden contest to finish jumbo platters of food. After finishing the meal, the girls go on a bus trip to the Yatsugatake Mountains to take photos.
After clicking photos and finishing jumbo platters at all locations, the girls rush to catch a bus to get back to the meeting place by 5 pm. After reaching the spot, the winner is announced to be Nambu Town's Team Kagamihara, who arrived there by 3 pm. While the girls are disappointed, Haruno is overjoyed to learn that they came as runners-up.
What to expect from Mono episode 5 (speculative)

Mono episode 5 will likely stay on the subject of photography, which is seen as a recurrent theme throughout every episode. As the summer vacation was declared, the girls will likely go on another adventure exploring more about the world of photography.
Episode 5 will also feature Haruno and Kako again, as they have been major characters in the series so far. Nevertheless, the focus should stay on Amamiya, Kirimaya, and Shikishima.
