==Plot==
Trista writes the instructions inside the front cover of the Love Note so that she wouldn’t forget them. Upon realizing that she had dropped it she tracked it down in the Human World only to find that it was discovered by Kasumi. Trista initially tried to trick Kasumi saying that consequences are dire to any human that uses the Love Note. Kasumi’s worried look told her that it had already been used. 
Since Kasumi became the Love Notes new owner as its previous owner Trista is forced to stay with her until she finds her true love, or the person who finds it after her death finds there, ect. Seeing that Kasumi didn’t grasp the sheer power of the Love Note she acted as her adviser. Trista was impressed with the ways Kasumi discovered how to use the notes. Though she isn’t supposed to she urged Kasumi to use the note on Linda Marsel when she says what cupid was doing was evil. She eventually grew tired of how much Kasumi kept herself cooped up in the house and urged who to get out more and date.
When Nabiki revealed that she had touched the Love Note aftyer making hundreds of police officers fall in love Trista was impressed by her ingenious of the book. When they realized that L had sent someone to work for Cologne Kasumi accidentally gave ownership of the note to Nabiki as she would better hide it. So now Trista had to stay with Nabiki.
When a third Cupid revealed themselves Trista saw it as a good thing only for Nabiki to explain that either L believed the third cupid wasn’t a different person or he’d capture them which would be equally bad. She also felt that Nabiki was making progress when she decided to work with L to stop the new cupid, only for her to reveal that she planned on using them to get his name and put him out of action for good.
As everyone was packing up to head to L’s building, knowing that using the Love Note would be to dangerous Nabiki came up with a plan for Trista to puppet her body while she was there. She repeatedly went over her plan with Trista causing her to become annoyed stating that she wasn’t that absent minded. Putting the note into her suitcase Nabiki joined the others, passing clear through Trista without the slightest hesitation.
As expected it didn’t long for the worshipers of the third Cupid to find L’s building, with the more bold individuals shoving or otherwise attacking the other shutters in futility. Akane started to freak out a little when L told them they might be there for at least a week, which his assurance that it might be longer did nothing to calm her down. Trista just pulled out a book happy that she had brought reading material while Kasumi asked him if his divide would work.
A jealous Ranma pulled a reluctant Kasumi back towards the table with the others while suggesting that L get back to work. L watched the pair for a moment, then looked to Nabiki who was paying little mind to anything but her book. Dr Tofu also gave L a hard look as well, but quickly found something else to interest him when L noticed him. Shampoo held herself back, but was nonetheless annoyed at Ranma’s attentions to Kasumi. L pondered this as an opportunity but quickly dismissed it. With Akane in the room, as well as Mousse and Tofu, that angle would likely simply devolve into a fight.
L asked Kasumi if Akane and Shampoo would be okay. She told him that they usually get into such arguments much faster and were actually on rather good terms today. Crisis seemingly averted he asked Kasumi to discuss her insights into Cupid with him. Kasumi beamed as Trista, in earshot, just rolled her eyes. Within the building, Mariko was displayed on one of the monitors. To all the other occupants of the room, this was hardly notable, but Trista chose this moment to put aside her book and walk over to said monitors for a quick scan of them. However, she just as quickly shrugged and headed off to the bathroom. L silently watched this, but Kasumi quickly took back his attention.
The protesters eventually bombed there way in causing the sprinklers to start finally revealing Ryoga’s curse to Akane. It was many hours later, deep into the night, when L finally gave the occupants of the building the go ahead to exit feeling it was safe to let them go back home. Ryoga opted to stay behind along with Ranma who realizing that Akane had figured out he knew chose not to risk it, but the Tendo family and Genma did return home. Trista told Akane who was still muttering to her self about killing the two to get over it. Akane asked if she knew, and while she didn’t she did see it as a big deal so just told Akane to keep her complaining to a dull roar. Akane muttered unintelligibly before entering her room and slamming the door closed.
Once secure within, Trista freed Nabiki from her control. As Nabiki was getting used to having her body back Trista bragged about how she didn’t forget. Nabiki never expected finding the third Cupid would be so easy and while Mariko’s knowledge of Ranma may make her dangerous, she wasn’t planning on giving her the opportunity hoping to use her to eliminate L.
Catching sight of Mariko Nabiki followed her into a restaurant and went she went into bathroom Nabiki picked up her note which she left the counter by the sink and began began leafing through it. It took nearly a minute for Mariko to finally realize what was happening. She tried to stop her only to have a paper thrust in her face. Nabiki told her to read it before returning to her examination. Mariko calmly obliged. As Mariko finished reading, she looked at Nabiki in shock, finally noting the distinct lack of compatibility lines on her.
Leading her to one of the stall so the two could talk in private Nabiki explained how Mariko going to L’s allowed her to spot her. Trista and Sira greeted each other with Sira letting Trista believe that she had also dropped her book. When Nabiki noted Mariko’s confusion at the scene Sira explained that you could a love goddess when you touch their note. When Nabiki asked why Sira was acting so nonchalant she told truthfully that she didn’t care about what was happening as it was all the same.
Mariko accused her of knowing that something was up, but Sira countered that she warned Mariko and she didn’t listen. Gaining Mariko’s attention a furious Nabiki called her out for escalating the situation when she cooling it off. Mariko was confident that L wouldn’t be able to find her, causing Nabiki to just shake her head at the cheerleaders’ stupidity. Nabiki was about to ask about the limitations of the Love Goddess eyes, but changed it to how bad were the side effects. Mariko admitted that she gets maybe two days before her lust goes out of control. This was all Nabiki needed for her to decide not to get them, before asking about their limitations.
Mariko explained what she knew with Sira explaining the rest. While getting a picture or video of L would be hard it wasn’t impossible. She told Mariko to go order her food while she gave Sira some instructions. Looking over the goddess Nabiki asked why she looked so old. Sira groaned but Trista spoke up to explain how she broke the rules twice. Sira complained that the Queen retroactively changed them. Seeing that Sira at least knew her stuff she asked her about the rules of the note. Knowing Trista Sira obliged. 
After Sira answered all her questions Nabiki asked her why she was really there. Sira knowing that the jig was up explained how the queen gave her a quest. While she didn’t go into any details she told Nabiki that her task didn’t interfere with her at all. Nabiki looked at the goddess in suspicion but decided to trust her. She told Sira to let Mariko know that she was borrowing her note and sent her on her way. After jokingly saluting Sira warned Nabiki that using plain paper to write commands has it limits. While Nabiki heeded her warnings she still had Trista that she was on the up and up when she left.
Nabiki came up with a plan to use Mousse to place cameras in L’s building in order to get a picture of him. As she left the depot she was trying to figure out a way to encourage L et call another meeting when she found something poking uncomfortably into her back. Before she could act a male voice told her told her to turn into the next ally.
With a a mix of panic and frustration Nabiki did what she was told while casting a subtle glance at Trista who was looking at the situation with some clear concern. Knowing that Trista couldn’t help Nabiki tried to figure out what to do only for the man to tell her that he just wanted to talk. Refusing to let her turn around to see him, he told her that he knew she was Cupid and warned her that her place had been bugged. Nabiki became confused when he suggested she take precautions wondering if he was on her side.
She asked why he was helping her only for Trista to tell her that he took off already. Unfortunately his head and face had been covered so she wasn’t able to get a good look at him. The pair quickly returned to the Tendos, but Nabiki hung back, letting Trista investigate the house while she lingered a few buildings away. It was not long before the love goddess returned, to tell her that practically every room had a mic in it.
Chastising herself to thinking L didn’t have other people working for him, with so many new unanswered questions Nabiki felt that it was time to seriously make up a contingency plan.
