In Kenya, the members visit Kibera, the largest slum on the continent; they stop by the Ainori school, founded in 2005, and meet some of its graduates.

Without his cell phone, U-zi doesn't know how to tell if Kou likes him; to get her to notice him, he does something unusual.

After a tandem bicycle outing, Shu-mai talks to Su-su; while U-zi is still thinking about leaving, the members head to the highlands for a race.

U-zi, who has never asked a girl out before, musters the courage to confess to Kou; the Love Wagon makes its way to Uganda.

Hide gets a chilly reception; Shu-mai tries to talk to Su-su along the White Nile, but she has her eye on someone else.

Haribo's health worsens, worrying Su-su; the members meet Uganda's ugliest man, one of the country's many disabled people.

With help from his friends, Shu-mai gets a makeover; one of the members takes a liking to Hide; the group speaks with former child soldiers.

The Love Wagon rolls on to Rwanda, where new members await, including dance instructor Yuina and ninja buff Joy-kun; ill with typhoid, Kou goes on ahead.

At a rural hospital, the members observe the country's drone delivery system for blood transfusions; they also learn about the Rwandan genocide.

With Kou and Yuina out sick, Husky is the only female member on the love wagon; when she gets sick too, the men try to come up with ways to cheer them up.

Joy-kun asks the staff to have Husky meet him outside. O-ji worries about Kou, who is still very ill, and the members visit Lake Kivu.

O-ji plans a surprise for Kou while camping on an island in Lake Kivu, but a fierce storm stops him; Kou makes an announcement the following morning.

The remaining five members board a plane to Tanzania, where two new members join, including idol cafe proprietor Aonyan and former host club manager Genove.

Husky decides to spend the day with Genove, to Joy-kun's frustration; the members visit the famous archaeological site of Laetoli in Tanzania.
