Two units are going to make their debut, one with Uzuki, Rin and Mio, the other with Minami and Anastasia. They all become busy with lessons to prepare for their mini-concert debut. However, Miku's frustrations boil over dangerously when her own debut can't be seen on the horizon.

The trio of Rika, Miria, and Kirari make their debut as Dekorationt and even do a tie-in with the fashion brand Pika Pika Pop. The unit does fine with a PR event, but Producer feels they can involve the audience more. While thinking of ways to do just that, the trio takes a breather in Harajuku, but when Producer gets separated from them, both sides look in all the wrong places for each other. The clock is ticking too, since the next event starts soon, so never mind engaging the audience, Dekoration may miss the whole thing!

The summer fest is here at last. All of the project members are nervous about performing on the grand stage, but their rehearsals go smoothly thanks to Minami's leadership. But then Minami collapses from accumulated stress. Ranko does an emergency fill in for Minami with Love Laika and somehow, the rest of the Cinderella Project's performances go off without a hitch... until a sudden downpour causes the rest of the concert to be canceled!

After Totokira Academy gets off to a popular start, Candy Island makes a guest appearance on the show. Chieri and Kanako are so nervous that they act stiff, but with Anzu's casual support, they make it through the taping. The staff loves the stark differences between Anzu and Kirari and gives them a new recurring segment, "Anki Ranking." Chieri and Kanako agree to do to a taped interview for that segment, but Anzu worries about them in her own way.

Seeing how hard everyone is working for the upcoming ball, Chieri and Kanako get fired up, but their nervousness prevents their true talent from coming out, and the interview becomes a hard battle...

Uzuki has lost sight of herself and lost her smile, but Mio and Rin still believe in her, so they wait for Uzuki to come around. In response to her friends' faith, Uzuki visits 346 Pro, but she still has no good answer to the indecision that's inside her. Mio and Rin decide to watch over Uzuki, who remains in doubt even as she takes a lesson at the office. Afterwards, the other members on the scene share their various feelings as colleagues, friends, and idols.

The encounter makes Uzuki think about what she's currently missing. And then it's Christmas Eve. Producer picks Uzuki up and they head over to the concert venue, but stop off at a certain place along the way...

Unaired episode bundled with the ninth Blu-ray and DVD volume of The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls.
