The last Medalist episode, ‘Shirone's Lesson,’ saw Tsukasa demonstrate Rioh’s program himself, executing every move perfectly. Rioh was stunned by Tsukasa’s skill, realizing it rivaled Jun’s. Hitomi explained that Tsukasa had to refine his abilities to keep up with her when they were ice dance partners.

Acknowledging Tsukasa’s talent, Rioh finally accepted him as his coach. The next day, ballet expert Kohaku Shirone arrived at the training camp. Inori struggled with ballet but pushed herself to improve. With the techniques they learned, Inori, Rioh, and Ryoka mastered their triple-double combos.

As the camp came to an end, Inori expressed her excitement to keep improving. Medalist Episode 13 will see the six-level badge test take place, at the same venue where Inori first competed and met Hikaru. Before the test begins, Hikaru will appear and promise Inori that they will meet again at the national championships.

The test will consist of three evaluations that determine whether skaters like Inori and Rioh qualify for the next level. As the final episode of the season, it will depict Inori’s progress and set up her continued journey toward becoming the titular medalist.
