I didn’t see the Suou = sister thing coming. Are they twins? just very close in age? I assume they aren’t step-siblings since it said that they she is his actual sister. Also, why keep that a secret from everybody at school? How can you keep that a secret from everybody? Why have different names? I am hoping we get some more explanation about it going forward. In the meantime, Suou has some of the best smug faces around:
Over on the Alya side of things, she got some clothes shopping time with her crush. I can sympathize with MC that trying to come up with feedback for my wife when she is trying on clothes always feels weird. Like, I love my wife, but I just don’t really care about clothes that much. So, it’s hard to give good feedback.
In any case, it feels like we are going to get some more backstory about our MC’s history with the student council going forward. There was a quick flashback this episode, but there is obviously more there to uncover. Hopefully Alya can convince him to run with her. She is throwing herself at him, he just doesn’t know (she thinks)…
So the story between Suou and Kujou…they are actual siblings, but when their parents divorced, Suou went to live with their mother, and Kujou with their father. Of course, they took the corresponding parents’ last names, as well. (Joint custody in Japan really isn’t a thing, unfortunately.)
Thanks! This makes more sense now. Also, from fishing around in the manga to compare some panels against the show, I ran across this explanation earlier than where we are in the show. So, I assume the explanation was moved to be revealed later.

According to the manga adaptation
___ Blood siblings born less than one year apart, which is why they are in the same school year. Their last names are different because their parents divorced and one went to live with the father and the other with the mother.
