## Plot

The episode takes place the following day after Seiko's birthday, Dai did not return home after the fight with his mom regarding the other man. Nozomi and Seiko are the only ones at home, before Nozomi departs, she suggests that Seiko better clean up after herself for once. Dai is seen sleeping inside and the some above him wakes him shortly after weird jumps on his face and they start throwing around the green ball. The green ball falls in the view where Eren can be seen, Dai wonders why she is not responding, he then notices how she has a fever. She tries to tell Dai off that there's nothing wrong with her then she stumbles after walking. She tries to tell her off that Dai has nothing to do with the situation which ironically Dai responds that it has as she is clearly shivering in front of him. Dai vaguely remembers she told him where she lives (referencing a line in Episode 4 when Ejima was about to confiscate Hen) She tells him off one last time after saying she doesn't have a family grabbing her wand from her pocket it falls when Dai grabs her and runs to his apartment.

Mamoru is told by his boss that they did not forget his exemplary performance back in the 1980s so their last chance that they'll give him is to submit a report or else he'll get fired. Dai and Eren is seen in his room and tries to give her some pills which she knocks out of his hand and refuses. She slaps Dai when she is starting to grow in size which Dai was freaked out at. Dai is told to stay out, then she wonders what caused her to get into this state, which was the Pollen from the plant creature from last night. After reflecting on the situation, Dai knocks and he promises to close his eyes so he won't see her.
The scene cuts to Seiko trying to call Hayakawa which he does not pick up the call, she then remembers the very young Dai on how she laughed at what he just did to the clothes.

The scene cuts back to Eren where she is thinking on how she can delay the transformation and then asks what his family means to Dai.
Dai talks about how he hates his whole family, and vents especially on Seiko even mentioning how its ironic that she still hates him even if she gave birth to him. Dai thinks about how Eren's face looked just as lonely as Seiko. Suggests that Eren can stay for a few days.
Dai's stomach grows and he turns on the TV and is surprised that alien flower is still alive. Dai is tasked with getting the flowers from the plant on the TV in order to cure Eren. When she is in pain from the poison she, Dai wants to come in but then stops at trying to open the door. He shows his concern towards Eren but then goes off to the plant creature.

The next cut after the Earth Defender transformation cuts to Seiko regretting last night, Dai is then seen approaching the flower, Seiko has the courage to call the other family members Nozomi refuses because of how bossy she is and Mamoru is in a situation where he'll be fired. Seiko then tells them she needs both them in order for her to face him. It cuts to Dai continuing to move towards the plant with little success and Nozomi saves Dai from being squeezed from the plant. They were able to talk to Dai and he cut the conversation by saying that right now Eren's situation concerns him all of them assumed this was his girlfriend which brought the whole family together for this reason. After Dai gotten inside the plant the rest of the family destroys the plant with Nozomi's parasol and the next scene depicts Dai similarly in the picture that Seiko saw at the museum. Dai is told to leave after Seiko entrusts them to give it to Eren and that they'll handle the rest. Mamoru then uses compression mode on what the plan is, Seiko notices that Mamoru lost some weight. Once they got close to the eye the 3 family members did a spinning attack to defeat the Alien thus it leaves the Earth. The flower plant that is below collapses and the Alien ship goes away. Which means that the Earth's soil is saved. Dai goes back to the appartment and Eren is shown lying down, Dai wonders if she's too late but she wakes up and tells Dai to put the plant nectar in his mouth so she can put it in his mouth. Shortly after he struggled to go to her mouth she picks up Dai and he ends up being unconscious from the flower nectar transfer. Hoshi comes to the rescue and gives Eren back his wand after telling Dai to wake up, she leaves and the family comes back and asks how he's doing with his girlfriend. Afterwards he gives Seiko the flowers that cured Eren to Seiko as her late birthday present. The scene ends with Eren telling her superiors that the family was able to complete the mission while staying under budget. She says that "This is...what a family is..."
