Stage Storm

The episode begins with Yuu, for the second time, trying to convince Maya to join Ondine, but she is still hesitant due to her attachment to Tsukikage and her friends. Maya's mother appears for the first time since their falling out and it appears that she is quite ill. At Daito, plans are being made for their season opener -- The Miracle Worker. Ayumi is mentioned as the obvious choice to play Helen Keller, but Masumi suggests that Maya would also be a good candidate. Tsukikage and Harada discuss Maya's frightful talent. Harada calls Maya a Stage Storm and the two remark that she will have a lot of difficulty in the future because she attracts so much attention. Maya successfully auditions for the role of young Catherine in Wuthering Heights and, when she has trouble identifying with the character, finds inspiration in a child having his toys taken away.
