== Summary ==
Nate Reyes-Hernandez is a popular boy who is incredible at sports and shines as bright as the sun! Together with the other Rangers, Zariel went to the shop "Sonrisa" which just so happened to be Nate's family's house too! There they learn that Sonrisa means "smile" in Spanish!
On the way back from Sonrisa, Valkera appears before Zariel and Spark, who recently got into an argument. Luckily, Nate got curious and thanks to his determination to protect Nova, he became the Yellow Ranger!
== Synopsis ==
The episode begins with Nate Reyes-Hernandez making breakfast for his numerous siblings. As this is happening, Zariel greets Spark as the latter is doing repair work on the Whitefang. Spark notices that Zariel is wearing different clothes. Zariel explains that his outfit got dirty yesterday. He takes Spark to school with him, and Spark is amazed at all the activity. Spark tells Zariel that nobody on his planet, Lycaria, goes to school since AI can answer any question. Iron Heart then pops out of a bush to remind Zariel and Spark to be careful about taking Nova out in public places.
Suddenly, Nate runs by, leaving everyone in awe. Even Iron Heart is amazed to see the girl who defused Zariel and Spark’s argument, and Spark has to hide him in the bush. Spark asks why Zariel calls Nate “the Sun of Coastal View High School”. Zariel says that it’s because like the Sun, Nate shines down on everybody with a smile.
Zariel takes Spark to try and thank Nate for his help in the last episode, but a bunch of Nate’s fans crowd around him and prevent the two from getting close to him. Suddenly, a boy loses control of a soccer ball, and it goes flying towards Nate and his fanclub. Nate does an aerial flip and kicks the soccer ball back into the boy’s hands, leaving everyone in awe.
Then, school starts. As Zariel is taking a literature lesson, Spark, Sierra, Dawn, Zariel and Iron Heart secretly look through the classroom window to see what school is like. One of Zariel’s classmates sees the five through the window, and they pull away quickly. Arizona is in disbelief, but she’s convinced that somebody was three.
Spark and Iron Heart drop to the ground and find themselves with a clear view of Nate’s P.E. class. Nate performs a high jump and flips in the air as he does so. When he sticks the landing, all of his classmates, Amy Lin (the moon of CVHS) included, burst into applause. As several sports teams beg Nate to join them, Dawn and Sierra are left in awe.
At lunch, Zariel eats with Spark, Iron Heart, and Nova. Zariel tells Spark that all of the sports teams want Nate, but he’s turned down every one. Then, the Astral Codex and the Leo Key start glowing, and the pen inserts itself into the Codex. Nova tells Zariel to draw her some lunch, so Zariel uses the Leo Key to draw Nova some cake. Zariel is amazed when this summons a real-life cake for Nova to eat. Sierra remembers that the Vulpecula Deity said that they needed to help Nova grow, and Zariel is surprised to find that that involves creating food for Nova to eat.
As this is happening, Thrash is shown to have returned to the Notraiders’ base. His boss, Miasma, reports that the Astral Knight Rangers have awakened one of the Exarite deities. This shocks Thrash. Miasma says that Thrash must find the Constellation Keys so that their master can awaken. Then, a wolf-man and a wolf-girl reveal themselves. The wolf-girl agrees that finding the Constellation Keys is the top priority, and she and the wolf-man give him a Hitradar to track down the Constellation Keys. Thrash promises to show his superiority to Valkera by retrieving the Constellation Keys. From inside of his vessel, Valkera objects to this and says that she’ll collect them instead.
Later, school ends. Zariel sees a fanclub and thinks that it’s Nate, so he calls out his name. The fanclub is annoyed, and a fangirl says that he isn’t talking to the Sun; she’s talking to the Moon instead. Zariel is awed to see the Moon of Coastal View High, Amy Lin. Spark asks who she is, and Zariel says that Amy is the student council president and the best student in the school. Amy recognizes Zariel, and Zariel is awed that Amy knows his name. Amy explains that she knows everyone’s names since she’s the student council president, and she says that Nate has gone home. As Zariel and Spark run off to Nate's house, Amy sees Dawn’s wings and becomes suspicious. Then, Nova flies out of Zariel’s bag, and Zariel and Spark rush to hide him. They’re too late, though, as Amy notices Nova and wonders what exactly she is.
Zariel and Spark arrive at Nate's home/shop and greet him. Nate is happy to see that the two are getting along. She asks their names, and Zariel and Spark introduce themselves to him. Then, Nate's siblings get their hands on Nova, thinking that she’s a plushie. Zariel and Spark are shocked by this, but Iron Heart covertly gestures to Spark that he has the situation under control. When Spark whispers this to Zariel, Zariel tells the kids that they can play with Nova as long as they’re gentle with him.
Zariel and Spark admire the flowers in Nate’s shop. Zariel says that she’s never gotten to talk with Nate very much, as she’s always surrounded by other students. Nate explains that the other students are still at school and that she has to come home early to tend to his shop and take care of his siblings. Zariel says that she understands why everyone calls Nate the Sun: it’s because she makes everyone around him smile. This prompts Nate to show them the name of his flower shop: “Sonrisa”. Nate says that in the country where his dad is from, “Sonrisa” means “smile”. The store has that name because the Reyes-Hernandez family wants their flowers to make their customers smile. A man then comes up to the shop and asks Nate for help choosing flowers for his wife’s birthday. Zariel and Spark take that opportunity to leave with Iron Heart and Nova.
As they walk home, they’re intercepted by Valkera, who complains about the lack of precision of the radar gave him. Valkera’s Darkdrones surround them, and Valkera demands that they hand over the Ursa Major Key. Instead, the two transform into their Ranger forms. One of the Darkdrones starts the fight by throwing a bomb. Nate notices the big smoke cloud it creates. Realizing that Zariel and Spark were headed in the direction that the smoke is located, he runs to help them.
Meanwhile, in the smoke, the Reangers are separated from Nova. When the Terran Ranger Group (Kiana and Mizuki) and the Whitefang's crew (excluding Drago) spot some Darkdrones about to grab Nova, more Nottorei get in her way and separate her from them. Meanwhile, the Red and Blue Rangers. Valkera reveals that it was her plan to divide and conquer.
Just then, Nate arrives. He sees Nova flying around and being pursued by the Darkdrones. Nate tries to go help her, but he is too scared to do anything. He then sees Zariel/Red Ranger fighting against the Darkdrones and recognizes his voice. As a Darkdrone launches himself towards Nova, Nate breaks out of his fear and leaps into the air. He catches Nova, but he falls over when he lands.
"Mess with Nova? You're gonna have to go through me first!"
Valkera taunts Nate, and Nate says that even though he doesn’t know what’s going on or what Nova is exactly, he’s determined to protect Nova due to the smiles he brought to his siblings’ faces. Valkera remarks that the Rangers now have one more target that they need to protect, so they’re even weaker. As Zariel and Spark fight the Darkdrones, Nate shouts his determination to protect Nova. This enables Nova to summon the Camelopardalis Key and a new Astral Knight Morpher and Astral KeyTector. With these, Nate morphs and assumes his new Ranger form: the Astral Knights Yellow Ranger.
Nate/Yellow Ranger proceeds to beat the Darkdrones into submission using mostly punches, kicks, and flips, but also a little bit of Camelopardalis power. He tells Valkera that having people to protect doesn’t make him weaker; it makes him stronger to know that he’s responsible for the smiles he puts on their faces. He then uses Camelopardalis Star Impact to defeat all of the Darkdrones, causing a concerned Valkera to teleport away.
After the battle, Zariel tells Nate that he’s surprised that he became a Power Ranger. Nate asks what a Power Ranger is.
"Cool. What is a Power Ranger?"
"You never watched Power Rangers? Right now, we're IN a season of Power Rangers!"
"Hell, Zariel. We're fanon. Do you realize that?"
Zariel starts to explain, but Nate interrupts and decides that if it’s a long story, he’d rather hear it next time, as he has his family to take care of. As Nate cheerfully runs off, Dawn shouts in surprise.
