Shizuka announces that Hachiman and Yui must go on a recruitment drive to find more members, and they know exactly who to target.

Hiratsuka-sensei asks the volunteer club to help her contribute to a local magazine themed around marriage. Since none of them, including Hiratsuka-sensei, knows anything about the subject, they ask someone who has experience "taking care of useless deadweight", namely Hatchiman's sister Komachi.

Hachiman ends up in an awkward situation with Orimoto, while still searching for the solution to the student election prank. However, a resolution is closer than he thinks.

After Hachiman and Yukino’s conversation, Hachiman is left contemplating the faults in his thinking. Ms. Hiratsuka offers him a car ride and her advice on the matter.

With the approach of Valentine’s Day, the Service Club is overwhelmed with requests regarding chocolate. In an attempt to solve the issue, Hachiman concocts a sweet plan.
