As per the preview, Ruby seems to be aspiring to become an idol like her mom, as she can be seen going for an audition. Nevertheless, it seems like she will fail the audition, as she can be seen crying while being consoled by her adoptive mother and new President of Strawberry Productions, Miyako Saitou.

Oshi No Ko episode 2 preview revealed how Aqua is set to try and stop Ruby from getting selected for the idol audition. Following Hoshino Ai's death, it must have been difficult for Aqua to let Ruby enter the entertainment industry, which is what must have led him to try and stop Ruby's dream from the very get-go.

However, given that Ruby, in her previous life as Sarina, idolized Hoshino Ai and the idol community, she would not stop just because of Aqua's interruptions. Moreover, she has inherited her mother's looks and talents, which are bound to get her recruited by some agency in the entertainment field, be that as an idol or an actress.

It also seems like Kana Arima will be featured in the episode, given that some of her stature and looks can be seen at the end of the preview video.

Thus, fans will have to wait until the next episode is released to find out what happens in the episode.
