Ami has a stalker! When the stalker shows up at the cleaning rally, Taiga takes matters into her own hands, inspiring Ami in the process.

The pool's finally open! Everyone is buying swimsuits, but Taiga's small chest is giving her big problems. Even worse, it turns out she can't swim.

It's the first day of the Cultural Festival, and Taiga's father has still not shown up. Even more annoying? Ryuji and Minori are still not talking...

The Cultural Festival is coming to an end, and Ryuji takes it upon himself to stand by Taiga while she comes to grips with her disappointment.
