As the SOS Brigade shoot more of their film, Haruhi tries to give Mikuru another contact, ergo another superpower. Yuki quickly takes action and injects her with more nanomachines before any damage could be done. Despite the weird phenomena Haruhi's film is causing, Itsuki suggests it is better than more closed spaces being opened up. However, when Kyon discovers Haruhi arranged for Mikuru to be drugged for a kiss scene with Itsuki, he gets furious at her shabby treatment of Mikuru and almost hits her, forcing Itsuki to hold him back. This causes Haruhi to become depressed, having always thought Kyon would support her.
The SOS Brigade continue filming the film, though Haruhi is displeased with the battle sequence. Haruhi gets the idea of Mikuru firing a "Mikuru Beam" from her blue-contact lens left eye and inadvertently enables this to actually happen. Yuki is able to protect Kyon from a couple shots of the laser before tackling Mikuru and removing the contact. While Haruhi is helping Mikuru change into a bunny girl outfit, the others discuss the situation. After shooting some more for the rest of the day, Haruhi leaves telling the others to meet up at the same time tomorrow, despite it being a Sunday.
Preparation for the SOS Brigade's short film continues, with character roles revealed - Yuki is an evil alien, Koizumi is an esper, and Mikuru is a battle waitress from the future. Mikuru is forced to dress in another embarrassing costume for her role, while Yuki appears as a witch. On the first day of filming, the Brigade film two commercials to advertise their sponsors, Mikuru dressed in her battle costume and then her bunny girl costume, much to her embarrassment. They then film several scenes in a park, Kyon pointing out that Haruhi didn't actually write a script.
Upon the start of a new term, North High School is preparing for the North High Culture Festival. Kyon and Haruhi's class decides to do a questionnaire, though Haruhi does not like that decision and tells Kyon that the SOS Brigade will do something more interesting. After watching a bad film the previous night, Haruhi decides to make a short independent film that has Mikuru and Itsuki as the protagonists, Yuki as the villain and Kyon doing 'menial tasks', including the filming. Kyon and Mikuru accompany Haruhi as she manages to receive an expensive camcorder and airsoft guns for free from shops willing to sponsor the film.
