**“Come Back Home, Heartsping!”** is the fifteenth episode of Catch! Teenieping.

## Synopsis

*Angry and upset at Romi for eating her strawberry tart, Heartsping leaves Heartrose Bakery! Luca finds her in the pouring rain and takes her into Marylou's home, but Heartsping is having second thoughts about staying with her. Will Romi get her best friend back?*

## Plot

It’s a rainy day in Harmony Town, and business has been slow at the bakery. Romi and the Royal Teeniepings are all seen brushing their teeth, except for Heartsping who’s searching the fridge for her strawberry tart after it’s gone missing. Romi appears behind her and apologizes, saying she had eaten it.

This surprises Heartsping, since Romi had already eaten hers and she was saving it after having a bath, but she tells Heartsping it was sitting in the fridge for a while and she didn’t want it to go old.

Romi tells her not to make a big deal out of it, but Heartsping demands that she apologize if she knows how that made her feel, yet she doesn’t, saying she’ll make Heartsping a new one. This causes Heartsping to cry and run out of the bakery, into the pouring rain! Sarah asks Romi what happened between the two of them, but chooses to shrug it off, saying that she’ll come back soon, confusing Sarah and the bakery boys.

Romi and the other Teeniepings are seen in her bedroom, with Romi not wanting to go and save Heartsping. Lalaping starts to sing, which leads Romi to imagine that Heartsping could be in danger, giving her the incentive to go and save her. The Royal Teeniepings join to go look for her.

Heartsping is seen tearfully walking in the rain and trips over a puddle. Luca arrives and Heartsping leaps into her arms sobbing. Marylou then sees Luca and she tells her that she wants to take Heartsping home with her.

At her home, Luca brings Heartsping in so she can warm up, and she offers to take care of her with both a warm cup and a blow dryer. Luca asks why Heartsping was alone in the rain, and she says Romi chose not to care about her, so she’s doing the same in return. Luca offers to stay with her and Heartsping happily agrees, which concerns Marylou as she watches on.

The next day, a number of missing posters have been made for Heartsping and the Teeniepings tell her that they’ve looked everywhere for Heartsping but haven’t found her. Romi’s phone rings, and it turns out to be Marylou, who tells her she has Heartsping!

Luca is seen giving Heartsping a chocolate cupcake and Heartsping thanks her, calling her a better chef compared to Romi. She then starts to talk about how Romi’s a lot messier — and even grumpier — compared to her, before Romi arrives with the other Teeniepings with her! Romi demands that Heartsping goes home with her, until Luca decides not to let her go, saying that the reason why she left home was that Heartsping didn’t want to live with Romi anymore. Romi asks her if this is true, but Heartsping doesn’t say anything, which makes Romi leave.

Outside, the Teeniepings ask if Romi’s not going to get her back despite Heartsping not saying anything. Dadaping reasons that it’s better to not be stubborn, and Lalaping says she should just apologize. Romi gets angry at them for assuming it was her fault, until she suddenly starts to faint! Marylou notices she’s developed a fever, and takes her back to the bakery, leaving the Teeniepings behind. Wondering what to do next, Lalaping pulls out her magic microphone, meaning she has a plan...

Sarah reveals to Marylou that Romi & Heartsping are close friends, and that she had looked for her in the rain last night. Meanwhile, in Luca’s room, Heartsping is seen sitting alone and hears a familiar voice from behind the door! Behind the door, the other Teeniepings are seen hiding behind it as Lalaping tries to play Romi as she attempts to apologize to Heartsping, with Gogoping wondering if this will actually work. Lalaping (as Romi) says she can’t live without her and that she’ll give her as many strawberry tarts that she wants. But she doesn’t care about that and wants to see Romi’s face; she opens the door, though, and sees that the Teeniepings were behind this! Heartsping is upset after being tricked, believing that Romi had actually come back and apologized to her.

Marylou steps in, however, to tell Heartsping something and she takes her outside to tell her Romi got a fever while looking for in the pouring rain. This concerns Heartsping a lot, and Marylou tells her to go home, saying she’ll get better if she’s able to see her. Hesitant at first, Luca tells Heartsping that she should go, and they embrace one last time before the Teeniepings all leave. Marylou & Luca embrace as Luca starts to cry. As they all run back to the bakery, Heartsping starts calling out for Romi, which leads Romi to climb out of bed to go and find Heartsping again. The two finally meet, but Romi collapses again!

Romi wakes up, back in her bedroom again, and finds Heartsping was by her side the entire time, taking care of her while she was sick. She wonders if she’s dreaming, but Gogoping tells her of what happened, and the two of them apologize and tearfully embrace, with Heartsping revealing she had actually felt lonely without her. Everything is back to normal between the two, as Lalaping sings a song to help cheer everyone up!

## Trivia

* This is the first episode in which a Teenieping isn't caught nor encountered.
* This is the first episode that focuses on the relationship between Romi & Heartsping.
	+ There is a movie that is set to expand on the relationship between Romi & Heartsping that will come out in 2023.

## Errors

* While she's searching for her strawberry tart in the fridge, she mistakenly refers to it as a strawberry "cake."
	+ A tart is a pastry with an open pie-shaped crust, while a cake is more of a bread.
* In the scene where Heartsping eats the chocolate cupcake from Luca, she doesn’t take the wrapper off the bottom of the cupcake before eating it.
	+ She also doesn't seem to actually eat it; rather she just puts her face into it to make it look like she's eating. This was likely done to preserve the budget on animation.
* Lalaping had used her magic microphone to try and pretend to be Romi and apologize to Heartsping due to their falling out, but when Heartsping finds out, Lalaping hides her microphone behind her back. When Heartsping then says she was upset after being tricked, her microphone disappears.
