I'm losing faith that this will happen since they haven't gotten to Midoriya's encounter with Gentle and La Brava yet and the fight plus the festival performances might take 4 episodes total. But I think it is important that they are able to start Season 5 with the Class 1A vs. 1B Arc and then do My Villain Academia Arc and then everything else leading up to the Endeavor Work Study Arc.

I don’t think Hawks is any way useless without his quirk.
