## Synopsis

The episode starts with Kokona waking up one morning. As she is getting ready for the day, she hears voices coming from downstairs. She quietly crept down because she was curious as to what was being said and who was saying it, but she wished she hadn't, as she saw Suzurun talking to Korimai on the countertop. Worst part is: He was talking about her.

Suzurun was saying that there was no possible way Kokona would keep up with the other cures and that she would only slow them down. She's flaky, has some strange medical issue, and can't run. He was saying it was truly a miracle that she had it in her to become a cure in the first place... and that it was all up to Korimai now to find a good partner to help Cure Maple and Cure Breeze.

Kokona couldn't believe that she heard Suzurun say such things about her, his own partner, as she silently went back to her room. She changed out of her nightdress and finished getting ready for the day. She then went downstairs to the kitchen to get her breakfast. Suzurun and Korimai were not there. Kokona noticed that coffee was now brewing in the coffee maker, meaning that her siblings were up.

She heard footsteps and hid, Natsune and Mamoru entering. The two were bickering about whether Kokona should go to school or not. Mamoru argued saying that she needed to meet people her own age, but Natsune countered that it was bad for her health. Mamoru said that it was okay if they knew she had a condition, but Natsune shook her head and reminded him that their father Peripheral Artery Disease when he was in school and things got worse for him because of that. Mamoru said that Kokona is different than that and Natsune argued that it is the same type of situation nonetheless.

Kokona then steps on a creaky floorboard and the two notice her, both seeming to wonder how much she had heard. Kokona tears up and goes to her room, grabs her inhaler and pouch, and quickly goes outside. Kokona sits down on a bench and hugs herself, asking why no one seemed to believe in her. She saw the nearby school and went up to the fence. She watches Sawaizumi Chiyu do the high jump, leaping impressively high. Everyone there marveled, that is, everyone but Kokona, who only saw it as someone who is actually capable of doing such things... an area in which everyone who truly know her knows she falls short.

Kokona then later hears an explosion and runs to the scene. Suzurun arrived with Kazemi and Latte, who arrived with Hatsumi and Teddirin. The three girls transform and quickly beat the monster. Afterwards, Kokona detransforms and approaches them. She mainly speaks to Suzurun as she says that she knows that she doesn't meet expectations and that she can no longer be a Pretty Cure. She plasters on a fake smile as she says these things before telling them that she'd like to resign. Hatsumi and Kazemi protest rather quickly, while Suzurun seems to not care one way or another.

Kokona then explains to them that she hesitated to go into battle since day one, and that she never liked fighting or enjoyed being a Pretty Cure. She also states that it goes against what her siblings believe would be best for her, that she'd only slow them down, and that there was no possible way she could ever continue as a Pretty Cure. She then turns away from them and walks away, hiding the sadness that had grown on her face, not sure if she was doing the right thing.

Korimai approaches Suzurun, stating that she had to have overheard his complaints, as every element of her shortcomings that he mentioned was in her confrontation. Suzurun puts up an "As if I care" face and dismisses it, but we can see that he doesn't really think that as after Korimai leaves, worry began to grow on his face.

We now see Kokona by a pond, watching two fish swim with a sad smile. One of Hatsumi's friends, Yukimura Maria, sees Kokona all alone and goes up to her, asking if she came there often. Kokona states that she actually isn't sure how often she goes there and returns the question. Maria says that she had been there before before tossing some fish food into the water.

Maria then takes Kokona by surprise and asks if something happened. Kokona hesitates for an answer, and then Maria tells her that she usually comes when something bad happens in her life before repeating her question. Kokona sighs before explaining that no one seemed to believe in her and have faith in her capabilities. Maria didn't say anything, just listened to Kokona's frustrations and troubles.

When Kokona was finished venting, she laid down on the grass and sighed. She stated that she often hides her emotions and tells herself to "Just smile and be happy", so she normally wouldn't talk about her personal life like that. Maria laid down on the grass as well and told her it was a good thing she did though. Kokona tuns her head and smiled at Maria, who smiled back.

An explosion interrupts the moment, and Kokona sits up quickly before remembering that she wasn't a Pretty Cure and therefore didn't need to worry about it, as Maple and Breeze would take care of it. The scene then switches to Hatsumi and Kazemi running to the scene, which was at a mall. People were running away and two people laid fallen on the ground. Willowen and Hanmon, the two behind the attack, saw the two girls and recognized them as Pretty Cure.

Hatsumi sets down Suzurun and Kazemi sets down Korimai, who they were carrying, and then transformed with Teddirin and Latte into Cure Maple and Cure Breeze. Hanmon says to Willowen that he'll find the other one and leaves. Willowen then commands the Megabyogens to attack. The two cures dodge and then both use Cure Scan, finding out that the trapped element spirits were the Twin Elements.

Korimai asks Suzurun what he was waiting for. Suzurun seems confused, but then Korimai reminds him about Kokona and what happened earlier. Suzurun starts to question why she'd quit when she was acting fine the other times, and then that was when it hit him... it was HIS fault.

We now see Kokona waving bye to Maria, seemingly under the impression that the monster attack is no longer a problem. As she turns to walk away, she is confronted by Hanmon, who instantly goes to attack her, recognizing her as the last Pretty Cure. Since she no longer has any powers, she can't fight back and he grabs her arm, throwing her into the ground and infecting her in the process. Kokona enters a coughing fit and her inhaler rolls out of her pouch. Hanmon picks it up and speaks his observation: she is already infected. He then goes to say that he might as well end her misery, tossing the inhaler.

Before he could do anything worse to her, something hits his face and knocks him over: Suzurun. Suzurun runs over to his fallen former partner and slaps her across the face, asking her what she thinks she is doing. He puts her inhaler in her uninfected hand and gets her to use it. Kokona is then scolded by Suzurun for being reckless as we see Hanmon get up. Kokona asks Suzurun why he helped her when he doesn't care, and Suzurun is clearly shown to feel guilt. Hanmon starts to infect the ground and Suzurun says that she is crazy to think he wouldn't.

As the infection crawls towards them, Kokona protests that they aren't partners, and Suzurun tells her to become a Pretty Cure again. That it was the only way. The uninfected space around them shrinks as he says that she actually had great potential and a lot of drive, being able to endure all that she was going through and being a Pretty Cure. He acknowledged that it was his fault to make her not want to be a cure anymore and apologizes for this, and also for not realizing how much strength she had inside of her sooner.

Kokona hugs Suzurun with her available arm as they soon become the only things in a five yard radius to not be infected. The infection starts consuming Kokona as Suzurun tells her to transform. Kokona hesitates slightly, but then nods and transforms into Cure Cherish with Suzurun's help, freeing herself from the infection.

We now see Maple and Breeze fighting hard. They didn't have much room to dodge, so they struggled to keep fighting. They were soon too exhausted to do anything but hold up their shields to protect themselves.

Suddenly, Cure Cherish drops in out of the sky and the Cloud Element Spirit granted her its power so that she could use a special attack with the Cloud Element Bottle. Cherish smiled to the girls, who both were surprised and happy to see her back. She told them to go for it and they nodded, using Healing Leaf and Healing Wind to purify the Megabyogens, telling them to take care as they freed the Twin Element Spirits.

It is now sunset and the girls are asking Kokona why she decided to become a cure again. Kokona credited Suzurun, saying that he opened her eyes to why she became one in the first place, and how she's not a good-for-nothing self-taught, unemployed girl. Hatsumi and Kazemi both question the name, only to have Kokona laugh and say that her siblings call her that all the time. The two nod and say goodbye to Kokona, who then turns to walk home. As the moon rises, Kokona's eyes flash a different color: Crystal Blue. Her eyes, green once again, look to Suzurun as she asks if he wants her to train some and run home, and Suzurun shakes his head, saying that he knows her limits and it was best if she took a rest after a fight. Kokona nods and walks home as the episode ends.
