Sayaka receives a visit from an old friend and her housemates are more than willing to pry embarrassing stories out of her. Ritsu is beginning to open up and seems to make a friend of her own, leaving Usa with mixed feelings.

Usa returns to work at the houseboy cafe as they install some new bookshelves, which seem to attract a few repeat customers. Chinatsu returns to the complex seeking help with her summer homework and stirs things up a bit with her brutal honesty.

Mayumi is feeling particularly depressed and stages an impromptu acoustic show on the roof of the complex. Ritsu freaks out when she finds a centipede in her room and the entire group goes on a mission to dispose of it.

Usa begins his new job at the houseboy cafe (as that is apparently a thing) and immediately runs into trouble. The rest of the Kawai complex crew decide to pay him a visit as his “Freak Show” past begins to haunt him.

A flasher has been harassing women in the neighborhood and the Kawaisou crew worry about Ritsu’s lack of situational awareness. Sumiko’s friend owns a very specific themed cafe and tries to recruit Usa when she recognizes his ability to wrangle crazy people.

Shiro returns a missing wallet to the police which happens to be owned by a young elementary school girl. When the girl stops by the Kawai complex to thank him, she… falls in love?

The Kawai complex residents sit down and analyze how they handle their relationships. Usa takes a genuine interest in one of Ritsu’s books, giving the pair some common ground. Sumiko proposes telling a group story to kill time together, with disturbing results.

Usa takes Sayaka’s words to hard and ups his efforts to get closer to Ritsu. He learns more about why Ritsu doesn’t have friends, but his borderline stalker methods might take things too far.
