## Synopsis

The episode kicks off with Hanai in her bedroom. It is the night before her first year of high school at the local Tentai Academy, and she is worrying about her first day of school. Her mother, Shiroko, walks in and asks what the matter is, with Hanai replying she doesn’t want to talk about it. Shiroko understands that Hanai is worried, but tells her that tomorrow will be just fine.

The next day rolls by, and Hanai prepares for the first day of school. She gets to school just in time. She is assigned to go to Class 1-B, where she meets her students. Hanai panics seeing so many people, but is warmly welcomed by her teacher. She is assigned to sit next to a girl with ginger hair and blue eyes.

Classes roll by, and lunchtime begins. Hanai meets the same girl that sits next to her in class, and tries to initiate a conversation with her. The girl introduces herself as Kasumi Tenko, and shares Hanai’s worry that she might not make lots of friends. She brings up magical girls into the conversation, which enlightens Hanai. She asks Kasumi if she quoted a line from *Magical Idol Purity*, which she quickly confirms. Kasumi quickly befriends Hanai, and asks if she knows any other magical girl anime. A few students walk past them, giving them weird stares. Kasumi gives them a dirty looks back. Hanai admits that she would simply just quiet down if that happened to her, but Kasumi tells her she needs to become more carefree. Hanai thinks this would be hard to do. The bell rings, and the two girls return to class.

We suddenly cut to a mysterious entity speaking to two twin angels, talking to them about a certain situation involving demons escaping from a hellish place called Hell Spawn. The entity’s plan is to send the angels down to earth in search of four legendary warriors to protect them and the Heavenly Kingdom．

It is now the second day of school. Classes go by well, and Hanai is happy that she has made a friend. It is afternoon now, and she decides to take a small nap. Turns out hours have past, and nobody is in the classroom once she awakens. Realizing how late she is, Hanai quickly takes her bag, revealing two keychains attaching themselves to her backpack. Hanai doesn’t notice this until she comes home, wondering where she got the toys from. Suddenly, one of the keychains blink, shocking Hanai. One of them starts to shake on their own, further freaking her out. It turns out the keychains are alive, and use a soothing mist to calm Hanai down. They introduce themselves as Floofy and Fluffy, two angelic creatures from Heaven. They were sent down by a man named Tenshi, who thought Hanai would be a good candidate to be a Pretty Cure. Knowing what Pretty Cure is due to her knowledge on magical girl media, Hanai passes out.

She awakens, and notices a weird staff-like toy next to her. She tests it out, only to be stopped by Floofy and Fluffy. Forgetting that they were even there, Hanai freaks out once more. They tell her to calm down and go outside. Floofy and Fluffy explain that what they gave Hanai is called a Glorious Staff, which can help her in transforming into a Pretty Cure. The angels finally reveal their true motive and why they chose Hanai to become a Pretty Cure; during the battle between Good and Evil, a man named Akumu ruled Hell Spawn and Tenshi ruled the Heavenly Kingdom. Enraged that good always wins, Akumu wanted to assert dominance and convert more civilians to evil in order to win the battle.

Hanai is shocked and almost accepts the offer of becoming a Pretty Cure, but panics last second saying that she can’t do it. Floofy and Fluffy, despite obviously being upset, decide to give Hanai some more time, and to meet at her desk tomorrow afternoon. The next day comes around, and Hanai has been thinking about the Pretty Cure decision all day. She finally makes up her mind and decides to help out. She meets Floofy and Fluffy after school and tells them she’s ready to become a Pretty Cure. Hanai is regiven her Glorious Staff, and takes it once again. It’s perfect timing, as a demon is heard outside. Hanai, Floofy, and Fluffy rush outside to see both a demon and a general of Akumu named Blight. Hanai hesitates to confront Blight, and looks over at the angels and her staff. Blight, getting impatient, summons a sandstorm that knocks Hanai over. Now she’s getting enraged, and the Glorious Staff glows pink.

Hanai calms down and is told by Floofy and Fluffy to transform using the phrase, “Pretty Cure, send me to Heaven!” She does as they say, and transforms into a magical girl. She is about to confront Blight, but the angel twins stop her, saying she needs to introduce herself. Hanai picks out the name Cure Cherub, and starts to fight.

Blight commands the demon to summon another sandstorm, this time greater than ever. Cherub braces herself, and is once again blown away by the winds. She panics, but Floofy and Fluffy save her by using Heavenly Bubble to trap themselves and Cherub. She is told to attack the demon, but Cherub states she has nothing to attack him with. Fluffy tells her that she has granted her the power to summon her Glorious Staff at any given moment. She is about to do this, but Blight grabs onto the Heavenly Bubble in an attempt to pop it. He does this successfully, and Cure Cherub falls to the ground with him. They argue, but Cherub realizes that she is able to perform an attack. She runs away and summons her Glorious Staff, beginning the attack.

The demon is now purified, with it bursting into multiple balls of light. Blight panics and tries to pick up the pieces. He angrily scolds Cherub, who hesitates and apologizes. Blight obviously doesn’t forgive her, and curses her while picking up the lights and running off to tell Akumu of what happened. Cherub feels devastated, but is cheered by Floofy and Fluffy by telling her she did the right thing.

That night, Hanai asks if Floofy and Fluffy want to stay at her house, under the condition that they stay completely still when her parents are around. They obviously agree, and they walk home. Kohei, Hanai’s father, asks her why she is so late, with Hanai responding that she got into a small accident. She tells her father she is fine, and goes up to her bedroom.
