Hoshitani Yuta and the other members of Team Otori have successfully overcome the trials of their first year and made it into Ayanagi Academy's musical department.

The competition for the five second-year training roles in the much-anticipated school musical, "Shadow and Lights", is set to begin.

While practices for the training roles are underway with guidance from the Ancients, Hoshitani spends his days receiving strict special guidance from Uozumi due to his lack of acting skills. To lighten things up a bit, Tatsumi and Sawatari suggest going to the middle school's drama club performance for a change of scenery. The joyous mood of the event is threatened when one of the performers in the play drops out due to illness. When Sawatari suddenly recommends Hoshitani as the replacement he worries about his lack of skills but with the encouragement of his friends he steps out on stage. Will the show be a success?

Hoshitani is depressed after being told by Ageha that they are not the same; meanwhile, Tengenji invites his teammates and classmates to a performance of one of his family's Gothic Kabuki shows.

Uozumi pulls Kaito and Hoshitani aside and suggests that they switch the roles that they are going to be auditioning for.

Haruto suddenly arrives at practice, much to everyone's surprise, and announces that he will be in Japan only for a short while.
