Yone actually believes in psychic abilities. By an audience request a new plan is set out for the program, a plan which requires the show to uncover real psychics or psychic events. Yone is selected to find these people.

Can the psychics there, who all hate Yone’s TV show, hide their abilities from Yone or will Yone finally get her program material?
