Ep. 2: A: The Neglected Woman, Part 2 (2017-08-23)

Ep. 3: B: The Crustacean, Part 1 (2017-08-30)

The Ito described by the second woman Rio consults with is a self-centered, obliviously rude annoyance. Not unlike an up-and-coming writer Rio knows.
Ep. 4: B: The Crustacean, Part 2 (2017-09-06)

Shuko's story connects perfectly with Tomomi's, much to TV producer Tamura's delight, making Rio even more hopeful for her screenplay.
Ep. 5: C: The Lonely Woman, Part 1 (2017-09-13)

From the outside, pretty and popular Satoko's got the perfect life. But Rio detects a hidden loneliness, and she can't wait to dig deeper.
Ep. 6: C: The Lonely Woman, Part 2 (2017-09-20)

Feeling insecure over her best friend Miki's relationship, Satoko decides to seduce Ito, putting her friendship in jeopardy.
Ep. 7: D: The Educated Novice, Part 1 (2017-09-27)

After getting dumped by Ito, Miki calls up an old friend -- and it's none other than Rio's young rival, Kuzuken. But that's not the only coincidence.
Ep. 8: D: The Educated Novice, Part 2 (2017-10-04)

Rio finally finds out who Ito really is, and she's repulsed. Moreover, Ito's written his own script, and it's dangerously similar to hers.
