The lieutenant decides it's high time he applied more discipline to the station's physical training regimen. Kawai and Fuji spend a night fielding one outrageous police report after another.

It's a horrible day in the neighborhood when Kawai finds herself temporarily partnered with Shikine, an officer who tends to be too enthusiastic and by the book for his own good.

Competition turns personal when our intrepid team is tasked with tailing a meth dealer. When Kawai assists Minamoto with questioning the dealer's ladylove, she gets a front-row seat to his unorthodox approach.

Fuji and Minamoto have more in common than they'd care to admit, particularly their competitive spirits. This can complicate all manner of things, especially when the next police call could come in at any time.

Fuji tries to teach Kawai a lesson about responsibility during their late-night patrol shift. Yamada has his work cut out for him when he finds himself investigating an unrepentant train groper.

The chase is the thing! Or so Kawai discovers, when a police dog is brought in to help find a missing old man. Then the chasing continues when the police have traffic control duty during a local marathon.

Detective Minamoto makes his presence known, now that the vacuum Sgt. Fuji left behind in Criminal Affairs makes him the division ace. Kawai and Fuji confront various societal issues having to do with the treatment of one's elders.

Kawai continues to learn from her female colleagues what it takes to be a good police officer. The lessons this time involve domestic incidents, and how to deduce what's not immediately obvious.

With the suspects on the move, only a limited number of police personnel can tail them without being noticed. Then when a foot chase ensues, it might be Kawai's big chance to make up for past mistakes.

As the investigation of the assault case ramps up and widens in scope, it becomes obvious that discrepancies between the testimonies of different involved parties will somehow have to be reconciled.

All Kawai wants to do is take a nap and go home after a long shift, but things never seem to go according to plan. A witness in an assault case has come forward, and someone will have to serve as sketch artist for his testimony.

Yamada risks becoming a laughingstock when he commits the cardinal sin of losing his police ID. Kawai must figure out how to deal with one of the more disturbing aspects of being on the force.

Rookie policewoman Mai Kawai is ready to quit the force when the job turns out to not be what she expected, until the arrival of her new instructor Sergeant Fuji causes her to consider sticking around after all.

To get the team to start working together, Toi holds a futsal training camp by the beach. Seiichiro begins to learn to trust his teammates by playing celebrities and a different sport entirely.

Pained by his past, Haru stops showing up to futsal practice. Some of the team tries to reach out to him, but it's his rival who helps him find the answer he needs.

Haru and Seiichiro try to work on their synchronization with a little help from Ryu. Later on, Haru heads to the quarterfinals in Tokyo to see his idol, Tokinari Tennoji, in person.

Having yet to fix their problems, the Koyo Futsal Club faces the prefecture's best team. The game opens with Koyo falling behind, but Ryu is hopeful that Taiga will show up so they can play together again.
