Although Sanae fails to make it work, Squid Girl is actually able to make it work, only to discover the coin she had been using was actually a device made by the Three Stooges. Later, the Southern Winds owner joins forces with the Three Stooges to make a robotic Squid Girl to once again challenge the real deal. Although it proves to be a match for Squid Girl, its technical shortcomings lead to its loss. Later, Squid Girl tries to make an effort to become more evil, but becomes concerned when Chizuru doesn't react to her misbehavings. The two end up going shopping and going to a restaurant together, where Chizuru expresses her wishes to be good friends with Squid Girl.
