Ep 4. Love Lab Resumes! or So We Thought...

Love Lab Resumes! or So We Thought... is the fourth episode of the first season of the anime series Love Lab. The show follows the lives of four students of Fujisaki Girls' Academy, who have formed a secret club dedicated to learning about love and romance. The episode opens with the four girls – Riko, Maki, Suzune, and Eno – deciding to start holding regular meetings for their club again, after a brief hiatus.

The girls are excited to dive back into their research on love and relationships, but they quickly realize that things are not going to be as easy as they thought. Their school has a strict rule against clubs meeting on school grounds, and they must find a new location to hold their meetings. After a failed attempt to use an abandoned classroom, the girls are forced to get creative.

Meanwhile, the student council president, Sayo, is hot on their trail, determined to catch them breaking the rules. Sayo is a stickler for rules and order, and she sees the Love Lab as a threat to the school's reputation. She enlists the help of the disciplinary committee, led by Nana and Mika, to track down the Love Lab.

As the Love Lab struggles to find a new meeting place, tensions begin to rise among the members. Riko, the club's leader, becomes frustrated with Maki's lack of enthusiasm, while Suzune and Eno bicker over minor details. But despite their differences, the girls are determined to keep their club going.

Finally, they stumble upon a perfect location - a quiet corner of the school's rooftop, hidden from view. The girls set up their meeting spot, complete with a whiteboard for discussing their research and a special notebook for recording their findings.

But just as the girls are settling in for their first meeting, they hear a commotion below. Sayo and the disciplinary committee have discovered their location and are on their way up to put an end to the Love Lab once and for all. The girls panic, but Riko quickly comes up with a plan to distract their pursuers.

The Love Lab members split up, each taking a different route to throw off their pursuers. As they run through the school, dodging teachers and students, they realize just how important their club is to them. Despite the danger and the strict school rules, they are determined to continue their research on love.

In the end, the girls regroup on the rooftop, exhausted but exhilarated by their escape. They vow to keep the Love Lab going, no matter what challenges they may face. As they celebrate their victory, they know that they have only scratched the surface of the mysteries of love – and they can't wait to uncover more in the episodes to come.
