Synopsis
Juno is suddenly chosen to play Adler in the next drama club play for the new year. Juno was chosen to play Adler because he is always represented as a masculine role and by representing him as a woman they will show off their resolve and rebellious spirit. Many academy clubs are desperate to improve their performance like never before so it will be their turn to give their presentation, and Juno happily accepts the role. The rest of the club remains united and motivated to combat segregation and due to that no club will be suspended. Juno is doubtful about the ongoing interspecies murders. Later, Juno is frustrated that everyone is against segregation, while she has no problem with it and that without segregation everyone will be exposed to truths that they do not want to know, and what they need most is distance. Although happy to receive the role of Adler, Juno feels that carnivores can be sociable with herbivores as long as they keep their distance and a stoic relationship. Soon, Juno finds Haru and Legoshi walking together, causing her to be disturbed and upset by wondering if they are now dating or having a passionate relationship.

Juno soon watches Haru as she wonders what it was about her that attracted Legoshi and follows her to the gardening club. Haru soon discovers Juno outside the club and greets her casually while Juno remains distant and tries to leave. Haru stops her and takes the opportunity to ask for help in her club. Shortly after, Juno helps Haru with her gardening tasks. Haru goes to look for a shovel and Juno sees how she carelessly tries to take it from high shelf with a rake, but before she could get hurt, Juno stops her and rebukes her for being so careless. Haru alleges that there is no need to worry anymore and that she always puts her life in danger. Juno impulsively asks if being so small and reckless was the reason why she attracted Legoshi. After a moment of silence, Haru asks if Juno is attracted to her, which Juno denies and Haru says she was only joking. Haru declares that she is happy to be able to talk to a girl for once and both have a snack. Juno thinks she wanted to ignore the charm of the herbivores and now knows why she wanted the academy to be segregated - because carnivores are inferior to herbivores. While she tells Haru that she is cute, Juno thinks that she is not suitable to be Beastar since she cannot put herself on equal footing with herbivores and cannot be like Louis. Juno asks Haru if she knows where Louis is, and surprised Haru asks if she knows where he is. Juno tells her to call him on the phone since he was worried about her the last time they saw each other and Juno leaves.
