Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) episode 4 follows the fallout between Himari and Yuu, as Yuu tries to understand why Himari suddenly chose to end their friendship.
The two eventually reconcile, with Yuu giving Himari a flower-shaped accessory ring to make up for accidentally breaking her choker during their previous argument. While Yuu says that the ring is a symbol of their restored friendship, the episode’s closing scene subtly suggests it holds a deeper meaning, hinting at feelings Yuu has yet to confess.
With that, episode 5 is expected to explore how their mended friendship evolves, especially as Yuu’s feelings for Himari may be romantic.

A brief synopsis of Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 4
Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 4, titled "Hydrangea and New Seeds," opens with Himari continuing to ignore Yuu after ending their friendship. She reveals her plans to move to Tokyo.
When Yuu confronts her, tensions rise, and during their argument, he accidentally breaks her choker. In the heat of the moment, Himari reveals that her anger isn’t about Rion, but about Yuu himself.
Later, after talking with Shinji, Yuu begins to realize that Himari might have feelings for him that go beyond friendship, and that he may need to choose between her and Rion.
Meanwhile, Himari’s announcement about moving appears to be more of a bluff, a way to see if Yuu would stop her. Hibari, however, calls her out and tells her to be honest about what truly matters to her.
Eventually, Himari and Yuu make up. Yuu tells her he’s willing to follow her to Tokyo, even if it means giving up his flower-accessory making, because it wouldn’t mean anything without her. Himari, moved by his words, decides not to leave after all.
She agrees to go back to how things were and even accepts Rion as their model, but she asks Yuu to prioritize her. He agrees and gives her a flower-accessory ring to replace the choker, symbolizing their renewed friendship.
Himari chooses to remain by Yuu’s side as his best friend, keeping her feelings to herself if that’s what he wants. But in the final scene, it’s revealed that Yuu also has deeper feelings for her. Though he couldn’t bring himself to say it, the ring holds a meaning beyond friendship, one he hopes to confess someday.
