Kyon first arrives at the clubroom, only to be deafened by Haruhi who is throwing a tantrum because she is bored, which drives away a client. Shortly thereafter, Kyon finds Yuki playing an eroge on her laptop with the volume turned up. Kyon provides her with a set of rabbit-shaped headphones to keep the 'questionable sounds' from being heard in the room. Shortly afterwards, Kyon is accosted by Ryōko Asakura who attempts to kill him, but is stopped by Yuki. Before she fully dies, she informs Kyon that there are others who will attempt to kill him besides her, only to be interrupted by an exasperated Kyon, who nonchalantly states "the butler did it".

Mikuru turns it on, to find she is the audience of a local quiz show, in which Haruhi is the host, and Kyon and Yuki are the contestants.

Meanwhile, Mikuru ignores the show and instead plays with her small lion-like pet.
