After witnessing the conclusion of Oshi no Ko episode 3, fans are excited to see some progress in the ultimate plan to hunt down Aqua's biological father who plotted the murder of Ai Hoshino.

A brief recap of the previous episode
Oshi no Ko episode 3 showcased Aqua and Ruby meeting Kana, the talented child actor with whom Aqua previously worked. They talked about their school ambitions, which further revealed that Aqua has taken General Education and Ruby has gone for Performing Arts.
Kana mentioned that she was working on a TV drama series called "I'll Go With Sweet Today" and she offered Aqua a role, which he initially declined. However, he changed his mind and accepted the offer after learning that the show's producer was Masaya Kaburagi, who was one of Ai's phone contacts from the time she was pregnant.
Aqua was cast as the show's villain in the last episode, which prevailed in his goal of collecting a DNA sample from Kaburagi to determine if he was his biological father. On the day of the shooting, Aqua noticed that Kana wasn't giving her best throughout the shot. She says that the bulk of the actors were cast for their looks rather than their acting ability, so she needs to hold back a little, or else the others will look like bad actors.
Later, Aqua overheard the producer discussing how they were using Kana's celebrity status to make her work for less money, which highlighted the industry's unethical practices. He takes the producer's discarded cigarette butt, planning to use it for his own purposes. The episode ends with Aqua determined to give his best performance as the villain.
As mentioned earlier, episode 4 of the series is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, and will be out for global viewers the next day.
