Maebashi Witches episode 4 brief recap

Titled More Like A 70 Rather Than 100, the episode began with the girls discussing fashion in the lounge of the flower shop. Suddenly, Yuina burst in, claiming that the shop had been breached and that some of the points at the front desk had been stolen. The number had decreased from what it was previously. Keroppe then appeared and explained, through a game, how the magic points worked.
Essentially, these points provide a temporary boost in magical abilities. Kyoka concluded that the point thief must be among them. Keroppe directly revealed that it was Mai who had been stealing the points. She had been coming into the shop after everyone had left and taking points bit by bit. The girls were naturally taken aback, and Mai apologized for her behavior, promising to make it up.
Yuina, overwhelmed, was too stunned to speak and disappeared. The conversation shifted to why Mai committed the theft, but she refused to answer. Just then, a customer walked in. It was Yua Hosaka, a close friend of Mai. They had attended the same primary school together and used to play a lot. As the girls sipped tea and chatted in the shop's parlor, Azu suddenly used magic to freeze time.

Azu was irritated by Yua's constant bragging about her social media following and brand deals. She seemed to dislike people who were obsessed with chasing attention. However, she reluctantly agreed to let Yua help advertise the flower shop. As their conversation continued, Azu was about to ask Yua for her wish when Yuina appeared and brought up the topic of witches-in-training.
Yet it looked like Yua was hesitant. As proof, Mai used magic to remove a pimple from Yua's face. Impressed, Yua began making demands for trivial wishes. Eager to gain Yua’s support, Mai and Yuina went above and beyond to fulfill her requests, reducing their magic points to three in the process.
For her final wish, Yua requested that each person's follower count be displayed above their heads so she could "choose her friends." When the wishes were granted, it was revealed that Mai was actually a well-known social media influencer with about 120,000 followers. This enraged Yua, who felt betrayed and mocked by what Mai was. She was upset to learn how far behind she was in terms of social media followers, which seemed to matter greatly to her.
What to expect from Maebashi Witches episode 5 (speculative)

Maebashi Witches episode 5 will be titled Is That 70% of 100%? and should pick up exactly where episode 4 concluded. With Yua angry and storming off, Mai confined herself to her room. Additionally, their magic points have been reduced to 1 due to Mai and Yuina's reckless use of magic to please Yua.
Maebashi Witches episode 5 will likely feature another interaction between Yua and Mai. As a close friend, Mai will do everything possible to make amends with Yua. However, the recent revelation may spell trouble for Mai, as Yua doesn't seem too happy about what she has found out. Thus, she may take a drastic step next.
