During practice, the Stage Girls at Seisho Music Academy attempt to steal position zero from each other in various comedic ways. Junna Hoshimi arrives to stop the bickering when all of them begin receiving messages from the Giraffe. They continue to let their phones ring out of reluctance to attend the auditions, much to Elle and the Giraffe's dismay.

The girls arrive at the Underground Theater where the Giraffe and Elle are waiting for them. Elle attempts to explain what is expected of them, but they express their disinterest and repeatedly interrupt her. Only after Elle throws a tantrum do Karen Aijo and the others agree to participate in their audition battles.

Elle introduces the Seisho girls to their competitors: Siegfeld Institute of Music. They're particularly dazzled by their lead actress, Akira Yukishiro; however, when Liu Mei Fan reveals a stain on Akira's uniform, the Seisho girls realize that Akira is not as perfect as she seems.

The first audition battle begins! Seisho selects Karen as their first participant, but Mei Fan and Shiori Yumeoji get into an argument over who among them will be Karen's opponent.

Maya Tendo is pitted against Akira in the final match between Seisho and Siegfeld. It is an Etude Revue, with the theme of Great Historical Figures. Maya gives a surreal performance imitating Cleopatra, and Akira counters with...pro-wrestling star Hiroshi Tanahashi!?
