Summary
The third and final year of the original club members has begun. But a new problem arises: What will be the fate of the Light Music Club when only Azusa Nakano remains next year?
Plot
Yui plays Watashi no Koi wa Hotch Kiss.
The episode begins with Yui running towards her school early in the morning. After arriving at the Light Music Club's room, she unpacks her guitar and starts playing. While the music flows, the four other members of the club, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi and Azusa are seen on their way towards school.
The club about to practice
After everybody arrives at the club room, Yui starts playing the last chord with the windmill style, confusing everyone. As she is questioned about it, she joyfully answers that it will be a new style for the upcoming welcoming concert.
Afterwards, the club members greet each other after their vacation and start practicing right away. Yui uses the occasion to introduce every single member again.
Yui's senior appearance is rejected.
Pumped up about being a part of the school's eldest age group now, Yui switches her hairpin to the other side of her head to appear older, which is instantly rejected. The four original club members then try to check the class arrangements, but they are blocked by a crowd of students. Yui circuitously forces her way to the front and is shocked by what she sees.
Yui is shocked by the surprising outcome.
On her way back, Yui trips and falls on the ground. Starting to cry, she forgets about her mission until Ritsu reminds her. Yui delivers the happy message that all four seniors are in the same class.
After they arrive to class, it is revealed that Nodoka will be their classmate as well. Suspicious of the strange coincidence, Ritsu, Tsumugi and Mio ask Nodoka if she used her power as the Student Council President, which Nodoka denies.
Sawako is the homeroom teacher.
The true mastermind appears immediately afterwards, the school's music teacher and the Light Music Club's adviser Sawako Yamanaka, now also the class' homeroom teacher. Since Sawako makes a good impression on the class, Ritsu tries to uncover her real nature to Eri and Akane, just to be silenced by Sawako in a dangerously mild way.

After homeroom ends, Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Tsumugi and Nodoka ask Sawako if she's responsible for the class roster. Sawako affirms this with the justification that she fewer names to learn now. While the rest are a bit unsure about it, Yui thanks Sawako and is looking forward for the next year with all her friends together.
Azusa is pumped up.
Afterwards, the five go to the school's auditorium to attend the term's opening ceremony, where they sing the school's anthem alongside the rest of the school's students. Afterwards, Azusa, accompanied by her friends Ui and Jun, resolves that she will try to get more members for the Light Music Club to prevent the club from being disbanded after the seniors graduate.
Azusa as the next president
Inside their classroom, Nodoka asks Yui about the future of their club, to which Yui replies that it is fine the way it is. Nodoka reminds her that when the four original members graduate, Azusa will be alone next year and the club will be disbanded. Yui realizes the possible threat and swears to herself to give her best saving Azusa and the club. After explaining the problem to the other members, the club agrees to find new members no matter what so Azusa can be the next club president and have members under her as well.
The club's first try involves the animal costumes again. Like before, the attempt fails miserably. Other experiments, like luring freshmen inside the clubroom or acting like a stranger are equally ineffective.
Azusa, Yui and Ritsu spying on other clubs
The club doesn't quit and uses the temporary membership of several other clubs to develop new strategies. Although visiting the clubs was fun, nothing to save the Light Music Club comes of it. Mio and Tsumugi, who were handing out flyers, were unsuccessful as well, so all hope lies in the upcoming welcoming concert.
Ho-kago Tea Time's concert
The concert starts the next day. Ui and Jun arrive just in time to hear the last moments of the band's song Fuwa Fuwa Time. Altogether, the concert is well-received, although Yui uses all her energy for it and is exhausted afterwards.
The next day, the club is impatiently waiting for new members. Disappointed that nobody showed up, Azusa is about to go to the restroom when she finds a scary figure of a stuffed frog in front of the door, placed by Yui as decoration. Depressed, she goes back to her classroom, where Jun and Ui cheer her up.
Yui thinks about the club being fine as it is right now.
In the afternoon, the four original club members worry about the lack of new members until Yui mentions that the club and the daily routine in it are actually fine the way they are now and that they can deal with the problem in the near future. The others agree and Azusa, who was eavesdropping at the door is happy that her friends care for her that much. As she goes in, Ritsu and Yui are shocked to be caught bumming around and instantly try to seem motivated, but Azusa calms them by revealing she shares the same thoughts they have about keeping the band as it is.
Azusa will be stricter this year.
As Yui tries to hug her out of joy, Azusa stops her by telling her that she will be stricter this year, leading Yui to desperately cry for new members to pop up.
