Recap of the previous episode

The latest installment features Natsume, a failed idol singer and now struggling actress, at the MotorSuns baseball stadium, where she reunites with one of the beer vendors, Kohinata—revealing that she used to work there years ago. In this storyline, Natsume reveals her frustration with her life, with Kohinata using the example of the MotorSuns as evidence that it isn't about failing but rather how people react to failure.

The second storyline focuses on Dennis Young, who sees that Bryan, the other foreign player of the MotorSuns, is constantly greeted and treated quite normally by their teammates, as he is seen as very distant. However, as he manages to bat the ball out of the park and accidentally hits Rurikon on her backside, the comedic angle endears him to his teammates. Moreover, he later apologizes to Ruriko, with the latter spanking him on his backside.

The final storyline gives center stage to Kojiro and the news of him having a baby, with Ruriko only having a short cameo. He wants to share the news with his former teammate and close friend, Tsubaki, but the latter doesn't want to reveal where he is working after retiring. After a series of events, it is revealed that he is Sun-Shiro, with the two friends sharing a tender hug.
