In "Charlotte" season 1 episode 4, titled "Moment of Earnest," we continue to follow the story of Charlotte, a special girl with supernatural abilities, and her friends, as they try to uncover the mysteries behind their powers.
The episode starts with Yuu, one of Charlotte's friends, struggling to keep his grades up, despite his ability to memorize anything he sees. His classmate Nao, who has the ability to make people forget anything they see her do, helps him cheat on the exam, but Yuu soon realizes that this is not a sustainable solution and decides to work harder.
Meanwhile, Charlotte and Joujirou, another one of her friends with the ability to move at superhuman speeds, discover that a girl in their class, named Yusa, also has a special power. Yusa can channel the spirit of her deceased sister, Misa, who was a famous pop singer. Together, they decide to investigate Yusa's ability and discover that her talent has attracted the attention of a shady talent agency, which is exploiting her power for their own gain.
Charlotte, Joujirou, and Nao decide to confront the talent agency, but their plan goes awry when they are surrounded by security guards. In a moment of desperation, Yuu uses his ability to take over the mind of one of the guards and convinces him to let them go. However, this act of reckless power usage leaves Yuu drained and unable to use his power for a while.
In the aftermath of the incident, Charlotte, Joujirou, and Nao realize that they need to be more careful in how they use their powers and that they cannot afford to draw attention to themselves. They also decide to reach out to Yusa and offer her a place in their group, where she can learn to control her ability and protect herself from those who would exploit her.
