Anon mentions approaching Tomori about the band, catching Soyo's interest as a former bandmate of hers. Soyo agrees to join Anon's band, while a later visit to RiNG reveals Taki was also in Soyo and Tomori's old band CRYCHIC.
3	"CRYCHIC"	June 29, 2023 (2023-06-29)
In an episode told exclusively from Tomori's first-person point of view, she recalls her childhood and upbringing. Much of her youth and middle school life had been spent alone. While reaching over a bridge for a flower in the wind, she was tackled by Sakiko, who misinterpreted her action as a suicide attempt. The two became friends over music before Sakiko suggested forming a band with her classmates Soyo and Mutsumi Wakaba, while Taki joined as her older sister is the president of Soyo's brass club. Sakiko's optimistic nature motivated Tomori as the lyricist and vocalist, culminating in a successful debut concert for CRYCHIC. However, Sakiko abruptly quit the band days later without explanation, and its disbandment caused Tomori to revert to her isolated nature upon entering high school.
4	"For Our Whole Lives?!"	July 6, 2023 (2023-07-06)
Soyo attempts to reconcile with Sakiko upon discovering she had transferred to Haneoka following CRYCHIC's breakup, but fails. Anon brings Soyo and Tomori to RiNG to reconnect with Taki, where they recount the disbandment and Tomori claims her singing drove Sakiko away. Soyo suggests trying again with Anon, of which everyone agrees in favor. At their first practice, Anon admits to having limited guitar experience before Rāna appears.
5	"I'm Not Running Away!"	July 13, 2023 (2023-07-13)
Rāna impresses the group by playing their song despite no prior familiarity, though Anon is distressed about no longer being the band's lead figure. The group is invited to perform at Poppin'Party and Afterglow's joint concert, though Tomori refuses out of fear of repeating the events that led to CRYCHIC's demise. Taki and Anon argue over whether they should play until the former criticizes her poor work ethic. Offended, Anon runs away with Tomori following. At the aquarium, Anon admits she had studied in England after graduating middle school, but secretly returned to Japan after realizing she was unable to keep up with her peers overseas. Tomori reassures Anon that running away from her fears is natural and simply another means to find her calling, as Tomori had done before joining Anon's band.
6	"Why, When It's Too Late?"	July 20, 2023 (2023-07-20)
Tomori and Taki write a new song, though Anon struggles to play it while Rāna does so with ease. Unsatisfied with the lack of progress, Taki relegates Anon to practicing basic chords while Rāna's inconsistent appearances at practices prevents the band from operating cohesively. Taki's frustrations boil over as a byproduct of overworking herself while trying to mimic Sakiko's band leadership, and she begins skipping practice. Anon and Tomori visit Taki at Hanasakigawa about her absence before encountering Rāna, a Hanasakigawa junior high school student.
7	"Even After Today's Concert Ends"	July 27, 2023 (2023-07-27)
The day of the band's debut show arrives, though they are nervous while awaiting their turn to perform. Once on stage, they struggle through their opening song before Tomori starts to sing with more confidence. As part of her emceeing between songs, Tomori confesses her fears for performing again after CRYCHIC broke up but wants to continue as her music are messages of her feelings, which Rāna segues into a rendition of CRYCHIC's original song. A shocked Sakiko flees the venue after hearing the song, and Soyo confronts the band after the show about playing it.
8	"Why?"	August 3, 2023 (2023-08-03)
Soyo has not attending school or practice since the concert, which Tomori assumes is her fault. Meanwhile, Sakiko reunites with her childhood friend Uika Misumi while Soyo's attempts to text her fail. After coaxing Mutsumi into giving Sakiko's address, Soyo visits her to apologize about performing the song before admitting the band was part of her ploy to reunite CRYCHIC. Sakiko rejects her offer as rash and ignorant of the other CRYCHIC members' personal agency before leaving her behind.
9	"Disbanding"	August 10, 2023 (2023-08-10)
In a flashback, Soyo recounts moving to a new neighborhood with her mother and attending Tsukinomori's middle school, where she became a double bass player in the school's brass band. Her performance attracted Sakiko's interest and she is approached about joining what would become CRYCHIC. Distraught about the band's collapse and Sakiko's words, Soyo reasons her actions have been selfless. Anon, Taki, and Tomori try to reach out to Soyo but are repeatedly ignored. After Taki intercepts Soyo at an upcoming brass band event, Soyo reveals her plan to reform CRYCHIC at all costs including discarding Anon and Rāna once necessary. Taki invites her friend and support musician Umiri Yahata as the interim bassist, though she quickly leaves upon noticing their disconnect. When Taki discloses Soyo's intentions, Anon departs as well.
10	"Always Lost"	August 17, 2023 (2023-08-17)
With the band fragmented, Tomori is unable to talk to a despondent Anon and begins writing her troubles as poems in her notebook. She uses the poems to conduct solo spoken word performances at RiNG, which become popular as Rāna joins in as background music. Rāna urges Taki to follow suit before Tomori convinces Anon to do the same. Anon follows Soyo to her home, where Soyo declares she would break up the band at their next show. Instead, Tomori drags Soyo from the audience onto the stage and the full band performs Tomori's poem-turned-song.
11	"Even So"	August 24, 2023 (2023-08-24)
Following the show, Soyo makes amends with the band. They begin scheduling their next concert despite not yet having a name or new song written. The five convene at Soyo's house to brainstorm while Anon also sets up a social media account for them. While they finalize the song and costumes the night before the show, Anon—using a page of Tomori's notes—suggest calling the band "Maigo" (迷子, Japanese for "Lost Children").
12	"It's my go!!!!!"	August 31, 2023 (2023-08-31)
Before they go up, Anon notices the band name has been shortened due to an input error. As another play on words, she turns the phrase "Itsumo Maigo" (いつも 迷子, "Always Lost") into "It's My Go", which she proposes as the final band name. After a successful show, the band agrees to use the name MyGO!!!!! with five exclamation marks to symbolize each individual member. When Soyo notices a bag of cucumbers left in their dressing room, she tracks down Mutsumi to return the gift. Mutsumi quietly meets with Umiri, who urges her to take her time considering a major decision. Beauty influencer and drummer Nyamu Yūtenji conducts a live stream at CiRCLE with Ako that goes viral before meeting with Sakiko, who invites her to join her new band along with Mutsumi and Uika.
13	"The Only One I Can Trust Is Myself"	September 14, 2023 (2023-09-14)
On the one hand, the band MyGO!!!! celebrates the success of their previous public performances and believes that they can participate in the band activities for a lifetime. On the other hand, Sakiko ends up recruiting Nyamu as the drummer for her new band, and she leads the first public performance of her new band Ave Mujica. After the success of the performance, Sakiko returns to her home, showing her poor family.
