It starts with a queen looking at the mirror and doing that mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Yukari's people inform her that her second episode is doing well but then, they are a bit worried that Yura might surpass them since she has both CM and a drama. Yukari is stunned as she remembers someone tells young Yura that she will become more beautiful and she can surpass her mother. “It's impossible for that to happen.”

Elsewhere, the Knights are having a photo shoot. The manager tells Haruka that he will have a morning show with Yura. This made him happy since he'll get to see her again. Haruka looks a bit happy when they are talking about how famous Yura is becoming. Shin asks him if he was thinking that 'it's no wonder that's the girl I liked.'

He tells Haruka that it isn't too late for him to confess. He bids them goodbye as Haruka tells him to shut up and mind his own business. They ask Shin if he is going to see his woman. It seems Shin has a lot of women. The others wonder who it is and Shin tells them that it is a once divorced woman. Shoutaro is envious of him since he has no girlfriend for three years already. 

Haruka wonders what kind of woman Shin has in his life. Their manager tells them not to talk out loud. At her house, Yukari is watching Yura's drama as she wonders if Yura can really surpass her. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Flashback: At 18 years old, Yukari has won an award. The reporters congratulated her and asks if she has anything else to say about her family. 

Yukari said she does and part of the award belongs to her parents. It's a big fat lie because in her mother's eyes is only that who knows what number husband and she doesn't care about her. One day, a recruiter scouted her. She knew early on that she is beautiful. The mirror says that she is the fairest of them all. 

She doesn't need her parents for because of her beauty, everyone is looking at her. Then, she met Takayuki who isn't seduced by her beauty. A lot of people are talking praises about Takayuki's work. Yukari wants him to be at her side so that she will become more sparkling. Takayuki said that she is beautiful but then, he already had many beautiful women at his side.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? “It's me.” She had sex with him and the next time they met, she told him that she's pregnant with his child. Takayuki is happy about the news and they got married. She is happy that finally his eyes are only at her. That is until Yura was born. Takayuki said that Yura is very beautiful with that white skin, reddish lips..you know the drill. ^^;

To Yukari's dismay, he said that Yura is the most beautiful child in the world. He thanked Yukari for giving birth to her. Yukari doesn't want this for she wants him to look only at her. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Some people congratulate Yukari and she becomes displeased that one of them said that Yura is beautiful and she will be more beautiful that her mother. 

Yukari told the person that she doesn't want Yura to be in showbiz because she is timid and will just trouble people. She also said that Yura isn't the same as her and her father. Yukari told them that Yura can't be a showbiz star. She cannot believe that Yura can become the fairest of them all. Takayuki told Yukari that he is going to work in New York because there is a lot more work abroad.

He wanted to leave his company and make his own music. Keiichi will be helping him out. Yukari told him that she can't leave her work in Japan. To her shock, Takayuki told her that she can stay in Japan for he'll just go ahead with Yura. For Yura's future, it is best for him to bring Yura along and it will be harder if they have to wait for Yura to grow up. 

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Yukari won't allow Yura to go. She shouted for Yura to come to her and told Takayuki that Yura is still young and she won't allow Yura to be separated from her mother. She told him that he cannot bring a child since he is very much into music. Takayuki decided to go alone even if he'll be lonely. This shocks Yukari that he didn't bring her along and went to New York alone.

One day, Yukari called him up and a woman answered shouting for Takayuki that his wife has called. She knew that Takayuki will be extremely lonely and he can't sleep without a woman by his side but then, she doesn't care about that because she had a lot of men by her side. She doesn't want to wait for that stupid guy and she can't forgive him.

She returned home and young Yura asked why her father hasn't returned home. Yukari told Yura that Takayuki said that he hates Yura so he doesn't want to return because Yura is there. “If you can become more beautiful like a princess then that will be nice. Yura isn't cute, doesn't study well, and is stupid. If you are a gorgeous child then your father would have always stayed here.” 

Yura is totally shock and depressed. The mirror answered that the fairest of them all if of course, Yukari but-- Yukari learned that Takayuki wanted a divorce because the woman living with him is pregnant. Takayuki is willing to give Yukari no matter how much for compensation she wants but he wants to be Yura's guardian.

The mirror told the queen that Yura is a thousand times more beautiful than her. The queen threw the chair on the mirror. Yukari will absolutely not let Takayuki have Yura and be her guardian since that will make Yura totally belong to Takayuki. Then, Keiichi informed her of his plan on making Yura a star so he would want to have Yura's guardian rights. 

Yukari cannot believe it and said that Yura is just an ordinary child. Keiichi told her that it is the first time he has seen a child who can captive people with just an expression. The queen is shouting to the mirror that she is the fairest of them all and not Yura. End flashback.

Then, it turns out that Shin's lover is Yukari. He put a blanket on her since she has fallen asleep on the sofa. She is surprised to see him. Shin said that he told her that he will come tonight. He tells her that after work, he flew back there so he asks if there is anything to eat. He then notices that she is watching the drama that he is in.

Shin says he feels a little regret that his drama is on the same time slot as hers. Yukari asks him what does he think of her daughter, is she beautiful. Shin says that Yura is cute but then, Yukari is more beautiful. Yukari laughs and thanks him. She says that makes her happy but then, he says that to all the girls he goes steady with. Shin leans over and laughs as he says that she noticed.

Later on, the two are in bed naked. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Shin smiles at sleeping Yukari. He kisses her on the head and says that Yukari is the one and only person whom he called as most beautiful but then, the one whom she wanted to hear those words from isn't him. “But if it's me, even if it's ten thousand times, I will still say, that Yukari, you are..[the fairest of them all].”
