Producer fails to chase after Mio when she runs out of the office. This makes Rin and the other project members distrust Producer's attitude and what he means to do on his own. Then Rin leaves the project too, and it looks like the whole thing may fall apart. Producer pays a visit to Uzuki, who had the misfortune of catching a cold at this critical time, but her smile and unflagging dream of becoming an idol strengthens Producer's resolve to bring Mio and Rin back into the fold.

Meanwhile, the other members hear about how Producer became cowardly in the way he interacts with the idols after a past incident...

Kanako, Chieri, and Anzu make their unit debut as Candy Island. However, Anzu states that she doesn’t want to work. Kanako is laid-back and does everything at her own pace, and Chieri is so nervous about an audience watching her that she can’t look at them.

The unit seems iffy from the get-go, but the three of them are invited to appear on a variety show hosted by Mizuki Kawashima and Airi Totoki. Preoccupied by the audience’s gaze, the newly-minted trio has zero teamwork as they face off against three other idols. It doesn’t help when a terrifying “punishment” is announced beforehand for whichever team loses!

The summer fest is here at last. All of the project members are nervous about performing on the grand stage, but their rehearsals go smoothly thanks to Minami's leadership. But then Minami collapses from accumulated stress. Ranko does an emergency fill in for Minami with Love Laika and somehow, the rest of the Cinderella Project's performances go off without a hitch... until a sudden downpour causes the rest of the concert to be canceled!

It's been a month since the idol festival and the 346 Production Cinderella Project idols are expanding the scope of their activities and grow one step at a time. It's smooth sailing for Producer until a suspicious figure seems to follow him wherever he goes. Does Producer have a stalker!? In between jobs, the idols take turns guarding him.

And then a woman who was working abroad for a company affiliated with 346 Production returns to Tokyo to take charge of the company's idol division. But what startling new policy does Executive Director Mishiro announce!

Anastasia is positive and determined about participating in Project Krone. But then Mio suddenly announces she's going solo. Meanwhile Rin still can't decide whether to take part in Triad Primus. Amidst all these changes, they strive to find their own paths.

Under the circumstances, it seems like all the previous units and projects will be disbanded, which causes the Cinderella Project members no end of anxiety and upset. The idols decide to band together to make the fall fest a success, but can they?
