Thanks to her charisma and unconventional sense of humor, Toru rapidly gains popularity and starts receiving so many job offers that the Producer is concerned that she is taking on too much workload, but she insists that she is fine. Meanwhile, Illumination Stars is still trying to come up with a theme for their performance in the national tour, while Mano is still struggling with finding out what kind of idol she wants to be. Mano meets with Toru again and voices her concerns, fearing that she's not putting all the effort she can into becoming an idol. Toru maintains that she believes Mano is already a great idol and that she is actually inspired by how hard she works. With newfound motivation, Toru returns to Noctlight in order to take her practice more seriously. Mano returns to Illumination Stars, ready to suggest their theme. Later, the Producer is glad that all of the idol groups have finally decided on their songs as the preparations for the first concert in the national tour begin.
