Episodes

Cat and Musketeers
1	Episode 1	Spring
For the sake of Knight's development, Tsukasa had to dismiss the new members who had been slacking off in the previous Lives. Ritsu understands his decision, but it stuck with Ritsu, and he has a nightmare about it. When Ritsu wakes up, he finds himself entangled with a black cat; right then, Tsukasa comes to see him for a review meeting. Looking at the ambitious Tsukasa, Ritsu decides to leave the issue of the dismissed new members aside.
2	Episode 2	Spring
Leo, Izumi, and Arashi are waiting for Tsukasa and Ritsu to appear at the review meeting. The latter two are late, and Izumi, who is always busy, complains about it. Tsukasa and Ritsu finally arrive, together with the black cat. Failing to make the cat leave, they decide to start the review meeting anyway. It turns out the cat appeared in the video from their last Live...
3	Episode 3	Spring
The review meeting is over. Despite the others' opposition, Leo names the black cat "Dartanyan". The black cat snatches Ritsu's blanket and leaves him out. Such an attitude reminds him of the dismissed new members. Ritsu is distracted by his thoughts, which incites Izumi's complaints. Ritsu, upset from the quarrel, leaves the meeting room.
4	Episode 4	Spring
Tsukasa finds Ritsu and apologizes for his neglect of Ritsu's mood. Ritsu confesses that he feels guilty and anxious about the dismissed new members. Tsukasa comforts him, and the two of them decide to find an adopter for Dartanyan.

Izumi is annoyed by their previous quarrel, being treated so coldly after returning all the way from Florence.

Leo pushes them to meet up with Ritsu.
6	Episode 6	Spring
Izumi and Ritsu reconcile. Leo draws a portrait of Dartanyan and Knights begins to look for an adopter for them. At the same time, Ritsu and Dartanyan start to get close. Ritsu guesses that Dartanyan sticks with him out of loneliness, which Ritsu can relate to.
7	Episode 7	Spring
The search for an adopter reaches an impasse as they find it strange how Dartanyan is only friendly with the Knights members. Ritsu tells the dismissed new members that he is willing to help them join other units. However, they send Ritsu their new dancing video and ask if he would like to give them a second chance. Ritsu praises them and promises to talk with Tsukasa about it.
