Aika (Shida Mirai), a former teacher, blames Shizuka (Hirose) for her sister's death and grows to resent her. However, Shizuka, who never dreamed that Aika resents her, begins to become aware of her role as a teacher and actively interacts with her students.
Ayaka (Toyoshima Hana) says to Shizuka, "You've changed, haven't you? You look like Aika-sensei." Aika seems to observe her students closely and talk to those who seem to be troubled, and Ayaka says, "Wakisaka-kun also opened up to Aika-sensei." A student in Shizuka's class, Wakisaka Haruki (Hagiwara Mamoru), is on long-term medical treatment and hasn't come to school since he became a second-year student. According to Seira's (Okazaki Sae) memory, Wakisaka didn't come to school much in his first year either, and Shizuka begins to worry about him.
Meanwhile, Moriguchi (Ito Atsushi), who lost the trust of the parents' association after the recent smoking scandal, is put on hold by the chairman (Duncan) about his appointment as the next chairman, and the matter of the forced dropout list is also shelved. Moriguchi, who is still angry, begins to plot with Shinjo (Kote Shinya) to drag the eyesore Kyoko (Kimura Yoshino) down from the principal's chair.
Meanwhile, a major incident occurs that threatens Shizuka's life as a teacher. Aika suddenly appears in the classroom of class 10, 2nd year, and tells the students, "Reimi Shizuka is... a murderer." Aika's bombshell statement causes an uproar in the classroom and the staff room...
