Episode 12: Solid Right Cross

"'If you're here and I'm here, there whose flying this plane?' - Haru"

Episode Summery
The boys finally go on their shopping trip with Gou. As they try on swimsuits, Gou runs into the Samezuka team captian. Her conversation with him is short lived when she "smells boys being gay" and leaves to spy on Haru and Rin. Rin pins Haru against a fence however instead of going along with the conversation, Haru keeps insisting that they've done this exact thing before. This is because an earlier episode feathered the scene. Haru even references the bonus episode version where they play gay chicken.

With his new swimsuit, Rei is ready to dive back into swim practice. Once again, he is unable to swim. Later, Haru approaches him and has a heart-to-heart with him about being unable to read, but still enjoying books in a different way. Rei uses this advice and the next day, the others arrive to him swimming laps in the pool.
