Episode Title:
The Six-Beat Kick of Tears!.
Episode Description:
Rin learns that Sosuke's shoulder injury is serious and that his talk of being scouted is false. Unaware that Haruka is listening, Sosuke reveals to Rin that he has been training incessantly so he can swim with Rin again. Despite Rin's objections, Sosuke still wants to swim the relay because he'd quit swimming in the past, but after seeing how Rin handled his own defeat and redemption thanks to support from friends, he wants to do the same. Haruka asks his own team to give it their all in response to Sousuke's dedication. During the race, Sosuke's pain flares up, but Rin encourages him to keep going, leading to a showdown between Haruka and Rin, with Iwatobi winning by a fraction of a second.
