## Synopsis

Kuga mends his gloves following the battle of the superpowers. The other players suspect Kuga is hiding something.

## Plot

The episode opens with Charming gold watching the battle between Kuga and Gai in Battle of Superpowers pt.2, when Kuga takes Gai's shield.

It then shows Kuga in his room sewing his gloves which was damaged when he used his superpower. Kuga accidentally pricks himself with the needle, and 3 bots show up in his room after an alarm. They secure Kuga, give him medical assistance, and completely bandage his paws.

Lonky, Pala, Popo, Gai and Liu shows up in his room, with Liu expressing his concern for Kuga after hearing that he's hurt. Kuga tells them that nothing is wrong, and after Lonky tells him that they were just concerned in a mocking manner, he tells them to get out.

Lonky, Pala, Popo, Gai and Liu goes to the main room and discuss Kuga's strange behavior. They conclude that Kuga must be hiding a secret weapon. Gai then starts having hiccups, and quickly excuses himself after a robot calls for him, supposedly for the interview. They decide to sneak into Kuga's room, except for Liu who objects.

Kuga goes to the infirmary after being ~~threatened~~ ordered by the robot.

Lonky and Popo sneak into Kuga's room, to find Pala already inside. Popo leaves first, only to come running back inside after spotting Kuga walking back. He rushes under the bed, while Pala does the same and Lonky hides behind Kuga's wooden training machine.

Kuga comes back into the room and finds his gloves missing. He runs back to the infirmary in a panic, and Lonky, Popo and Pala fights to be let through the door first. Popo exists first by crawling underneath Lonky's legs, but while he isn't paying attention to where he was running he accidentally gets wrapped up in Kuga's bandages.

When Kuga catches his head, Popo exclaims that the texture of his paw is incredibly soft, and unwraps both of Kuga's hands to hug them.

The scene changes back to Kuga's room, with Kuga, Pala, Lonky, Liu, Popo, Gai and Miyo all present. Lonky relentlessly teases Kuga for having such big muscles but with pink paws. Liu interrupts him saying that since Kuga's gloves were missing, that means that one of them could possibly be a thief.

There is a silence before Miyo breaks it, asking Lonky and Popo what they were doing in Kuga's room. Lonky and Popo answers saying that they were going to do a dance to cheer him up, and performs an improvised dance upon questioning.

Lonky then deflects, accusing Pala of stealing it since he was in the room first. Pala refuses that he stole Kuga's gloves, but upon Liu's questioning, he admits that he stole Kuga's fur as "Bar's fur helps your immune system", then proceeds to eat a clump of it. Pala is then kicked out of Kuga's room by Liu.

Miyo is then suspected as she does not have an alibi. Lonky and Popo starts pressuring her, but ends up with Miyo scratching both their faces. Gai defends her saying that she was at the interview as well, and when he put his hand on her shoulder (during the interview), he was scratched.

Liu then states that the gloves were not taken by any of them, sending the rest to protest against his declaration. Kuga orders them to leave his room, with only Liu staying behind to comfort him for a bit.

Liu exits the room and walks back with Pala. Pala thanks him for saving him, and asks where Liu was.

We then see a flashback scene from Liu's pov, and see that he was also snooping around Kuga's room before Pala came in. He hid in the closet and watched as everything unfolded, which confirmed that nobody had stolen Kuga's gloves. However, instead of this he tells Pala that he was in his room the whole time.

The scene shifts to show Charming gold being massaged by 3 pink robots, with Kuga's gloves on a table next to him. The reason why Charming gold has Kuga's gloves is currently unknown.
