Episode Synopsis
In the short, Kotetsu is at his apartment waiting with champagne and two glasses for Barnaby, who is running late. When Barnaby arrives Kotetsu is confused and annoyed to find out he invited the rest of the heroes to come with him, as it was supposed to be just the two of them. Barnaby replies that he thought Kotetsu would enjoy another celebration like the one they had at his flat. Pao-Lin notes that this is the first time any of them have been to Kotetsu's apartment while going through his fridge.

Keith, who is also in the kitchen going through shelves, agrees but Barnaby mentions that he comes over fairly often. Kotetsu quickly adds that Barnaby comes over "for work and stuff". Antonio, sitting on the stairs next to the window, notes that he has also been to Kotetsu's apartment "as many times as there are cows" which confuses Ivan who is standing nearby. Karina examines Kotetsu's framed photos of Tomoe and Kaede and makes a face.

Nathan asks Kotetsu to "explain this" while holding up three entertainment magazines they found, all featuring an actress with curly blonde hair. Kotetsu tells them to stop digging through his stuff, and Keith says they should refrain from leafing through them as "adult people have certain mutual agreements". Kotetsu protests the implication, but Nathan pushes it. Kotetsu attempts to explain that that actress became his favorite after he saw her in a dream, but Karina cuts him off, asking how he could call himself a father. Kotetsu, confused, says there's nothing wrong with having magazines just because they talk about his favorite actress. Karina ignores him, saying she wouldn't have come along if she'd known.

Frustrated, Kotetsu tells her no one invited them, they all just barged in. Barnaby tells Kotetsu he should take it back, because the other heroes have missed him. He points out that now that Kotetsu is in the Second League he doesn't see the First League very often, and he wanted to give them all a chance to catch up. Nathan looks down at the magazines they're still holding and looks guilty. Kotetsu apologizes, and Karina tells him that as punishment he'll treat them to diner and to make his fried rice. Kotetsu asks how she knows he makes friend rice and Pao-Lin says that she told her, because its delicious.

He agrees to make it, and Karina says she'll forgive him and Pao-Lin cheers. Ivan, Antonio, and Keith all agree they look forward to it, and Nathan begins reading one of the magazines. As Kotetsu leaves to buy ingredients for the fried rice, Barnaby offers to go with him since he'll need to carry a lot and apologizes for inviting everyone over without asking. Barnaby asks why he wanted him to come over. Kotetsu says it was to return the pin he bought Barnaby in episode 19, which he has been carrying with him since he found it in Maverick's office.
