Summer Has Come (サマー・ハズ・カム) is the thirteenth episode of the Golden Time anime series, which aired on January 09, 2014.

Synopsis
As Ghost Banri watches, Banri dreams about when he was in the hospital and met with Linda (whom he didn't remember at the time), and about the message he was supposed to "pass along to her friend". Later, the Festival Club gathers at the Awa dance festival and prepares to perform. Almost everyone is in a jovial mood, but Kouko is experiencing severe stage fright. She tries to run off to the restroom but Linda points out that she's been there about thirty times, and that her urge to urinate is a result of her nervous condition. The festival is about to start, so the other club members start to abandon Kouko where she sits. Linda then suggests they teach the first years about "that". "That" turns out to be the club performing a special dance as they circle around Kouko and Banri. Banri joins the circle, and soon Kouko does too. With everyone now ready, they successfully perform in the festival. Afterwards, Kouko and Banri enjoy the festival together and get ready to watch the fireworks. Ghost Banri watches nearby, lamenting that he still loves Linda and that Banri has rejected the feelings he left behind. He vows to become an evil spirit and curse Banri with unhappiness. It suddenly starts to rain, forcing Kouko and Banri to run off and seek shelter. Later, Banri receives word that the Festival Club's camp has been cancelled. He reflects on how his summer activities have so far been cancelled or interrupted. He sees Kouko get out of a cab in front of his building, so he waits by the elevator to surprise her. As the doors open he does a "peek-a-boo" greeting. The occupant, however, turns out to be Nana, who punches him in the face and leaves him lying on the floor. Kouko (who ran up the stairs) arrives and announces she is going to make Yakisoba for him. Banri is excited, but Kouko insists that he sit blindfolded with his hands in his pockets while she cooks. It turns out she is only feigning cooking, having actually brought pre-prepared Yakisoba with her. The blindfold slips, allowing Banri to see what is really going on. Kouko is embarrassed, and insists it was all a joke. Later, on an evening walk, she admits that her family’s maid prepared the Yakisoba. They stop and sit in a park where they discuss Kouko going to culinary school and her family’s upcoming vacation to Barcelona. Kouko tries to kiss Banri, but he pulls back and walks away. Later, he wishes he could ask Kouko to not to go to Barcelona and stay with him. He sadly wonders if Kouko will leave him someday. A nearby Ghost Banri vows to make him even unhappier.
