What is that dog's name?
Mikuru finds the clubroom deserted, with a TV set on the table. Mikuru turns it on, to find she is the audience of a local quiz show, in which Haruhi is the host, and Kyon and Yuki are the contestants. However, Haruhi's attempts of making the quiz more local go a bit too far.
Kyon-kun, Nagato-san.... Nagato-san...
Mikuru finds out that Yuki is viewing erotic images on her laptop, but is too embarrassed to tell what she's seen to Kyon. Several weeks go by, and several changes are noted. Kyon finds that the bookshelves in the room are being filled with video games, and Haruhi begins to notice Yuki wearing cosplay outfits. Meanwhile, Ryoko has revived herself, but in a basketball sized chibi form. Eventually, Yuki finds out, and after saving the miniature Ryoko from a hungry cat, allows her to stay with her at her apartment.
It's a dodgeball challenge!
The computer club challenges Haruhi to a dodgeball game in the hopes of retrieving their laptops, but Haruhi decides to play a real game of dodgeball. Her reality-altering powers allow all the players to use 100% of their abilities.
I have no interest in lewd material!
Mikuru informs Kyon of extra outfits found on the clothes rack in the corner. When informed that they belong to Yuki, a small-scale cosplay 'war' breaks out. At the end of the day, Yuki finishes an anime series she has been following, and lends her collection to Kyon. Mikuru grows upset when she sees the lead character of the series is a maid, scaring her into thinking Kyon has a 'maid fetish'. Ryoko is annoyed at how Yuki keeps putting her in baby things, although can't help but fall victim to her idea of fun.
Whoo! Track Meet with a Few Extra Girls event
Haruhi holds a sport contest. When asked to bring 'a barrier to the heart' as part of a scavenger hunt, Kyon brings Koizumi over and tells him 'I love you', causing Haruhi to faint. Taniguchi lags behind in the events whilst Kyon gets used as a makeshift tug-of-war rope.
Guess I could eat soy-beans
Haruhi holds a 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' Spring Festival, in which she dresses Taniguchi as a demon and gives him food whilst everyone goes outside and celebrates. Yuki traps Ryoko and forces her to dress up in an outfit for Hinamatsuri.
Every character's a maid!
Haruhi asks for ideas for a screenplay and ends up writing about otaku maid warriors with a month to live fighting to the death, which somehow leads to Kyon exploding.
Umbrellas are amazing
After a small half-asleep scuffle with Ryoko, Yuki heads out for a Sunday morning with the SOS Brigade. Ryoko tries to clean the apartment to take her mind off things, but grows upset being stuck inside. Using an umbrella, she manages to try and leave the building, only to return to the apartment when a cat hungrily eyes her.
