## Plot

### Cold Open

As Tanukichi is recovering from his injuries in the hospital, he reads a message that Ayame sent him, complimenting Tanukichi for saving Anna. Gouriki then walks into the room wearing a pink apron and gives Tanukichi sliced apples.

### After the Intro

As Tanukichi eats his apples, Hyouka climbs through a window and into Tanukichi's room to give him her garden eel. She also reveals that she is at the hospital to talk to Anna for her recent strictness against lewd material, behavior which Hyouka had not seen before. This saddens Tanukichi because Anna hadn't visited him even once, and he assumes that she is upset at him for kissing her. Later, Ayame tells Tanukichi that she revealed her identity to Otome and she quickly joined SOX to make pornographic drawings. However, Otome desperately needed inspiration. She visits Tanukichi at the hospital and reveals that she is close to escaping her "creative slump" due to drawing full-body sketches of Anna. Unfortunately for Tanukichi, though, when Otome asked Anna if she would visit Tanukichi, Anna coldly denied to do so. This only seemed to confirm Tanukichi's fears that she hates him.

Tanukichi later returns to Tokioka Academy, but Anna tries to avoid him as much as possible. As Tanukichi arrives to his apartment, he hears someone at his balcony. However, when he opens the balcony window, he finds nothing but a gooey, shiny substance. Suddenly, Ayame calls him on his PM and asks him to come over to the Felersio Café. In the basement of the café, she talks about a stash of pornographic books hidden within Yatsuga Forest. She wants to get the pornographic books to help Otome make hentai drawings, but she knows that since Yatsuga is now closed off to the public, SOX would never be able to take on the Decency Squad. That is why Ayame planned to use a large number of Tokioka students to help get the books. When Tanukichi got back to his apartment, he saw lots of envelopes that were on his front door. This is when he realizes that someone is stalking him.

Ayame's plans were sidelined when Tanukichi explains that he didn't place maps of Yatsuga Forest around the school because he is dealing with a stalker who had sent him love letters and the gooey substance. Later, Sophia Nishikinomiya gives a very important speech, one that was televised to many of the high-ranking morale schools in Japan. In the speech, Sophia announces a proposal of new mandatory PM models, which will be worn as underwear. The students will be given a chance to vote for or against the new PMs that upcoming Sunday at 10 A.M., which only hurt Ayame's plans even more. With not many options left, Ayame forced Tanukichi to have sex with his stalker as Otome secretly watches so she can learn how to make dirty drawings. However, Ayame's plan takes a horribly wrong turn when Tanukichi's stalker (who turned out to be Anna) rapes him because she believes that what she is doing is true love. As she is doing so, Ayame hears noise coming from Tanukichi's room and walks in. She is immediately caught off-guard by a naked Anna, who quickly runs off. After she leaves, Ayame looks down and is horrified to see Tanukichi's penis. Otome, who is overcome with excitement, barges out of the closet and begins to frantically draw with her mouth as Tanukichi and Ayame scream.

### Post-Credits Scene

As Anna walks to her apartment, she is confronted by Hyouka, who asks her about her recent crackdown on lewd material. Anna explains that she is doing this because she wants a certain someone to fall in love with her. She believes that the more good she does, the more she will be rewarded with love. This sets the stage for Episode 5.
