Bothered that Koyuki still has her guard up around him, Minato tries to make small talk. As Miki grows suspicious of his intentions, she confronts him.

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody

The future Mikuru tells Kyon where to find a certain person that he is supposed to help. Kyon and Mikuru travels back in time to the Tanabata of three years ago. Carrying the sleeping Mikuru, Kyon finds the young Haruhi herself from middle school. After helping her draw strange drawings on her school yard, Haruhi questions him on the existence o aliens, time travelers, espers, or sliders; and Kyon suggests that they might. After Haruhi leaves, Kyon wakes up Mikuru and finds that she has somehow lost her time traveling device, or TPDD. He takes her to the Yuki of three years ago and helps them return to their proper time.

Disappearance

It's the day of the big track meet. Captain Miyamoto is concerned that even though Yamato's sprinting style has adjusted, Yamato's times haven't really improved enough. But Yamato is all psyched to face Arima in the preliminaries, which come to a shocking conclusion 11 seconds or so later. Suzuka visits Yamato to boil some extra eggs (about the only thing she can cook), and Yamato picks up that she might be caring for him, and uses that opportunity to try one last confession.
