## Plot

The episode starts with Bel who was eating a lollipop, joking with Riva and Gura because of their failures. Much to their annoyance, they claimed they had another plan, which could work. Suddenly, in the town, some mysterious balls started coming, and then the balls absorbed in the people's bodies, putting them to sleep. Meanwhile, Maya and the others were doing experiments with their Glitter Pad, however it did not work, even with Dina's power. Maya's stomach growls and she invited everyone to the Pig Tail restaurant.

At the restaurant, Maya and Rachel saw their mothers and with surprise Natalie saw her grandmother about to go to the restaurant. Inside the people were watching about the mysterious balls. All of a sudden, Maya and the others were in a panic, as soon as they saw their parents and family members were sleeping. Then suddenly the girls warned Maya as the ball was coming towards her, but her Glitter Charm rotected her from becoming infected. Then the TV screen became distorted and Leva and Gula appeared, explaining their plans. They said that in the main building in the town, a Distain tree was made. The balls made from it to put people to sleep, and as the time passes their hearts will completely blacken and turn them into Distains, bringing about destruction to their world.

The girls arrived and they (with the exception of Natalie because of her time of limit) transform as Leva and Gula fuse together to fight. The girls try to use Togetherness Power Arrow but it was ineffective. The tree sent a powerful beam, however Glitter Ace arrived on time and performed Ace Shot to try to reflect it. It proves to be powerful though, striking the Glitter Force. After their defeat, the girls saw the fused Leva and Gula with the Pad, and watch helplessly as it breaks it into several pieces.

With the broken Pad, the girls lost hope, and Glitter Heart cried, finally understanding what it's like to have her home in ruins, while Leva and Gula taunt her. The hearts of the citizens completely blacken.

However, Glitter Heart brought herself and senses and gathered pieces. With hope left in her heart, Glitter Heart said she would do everything to save the pople of the town. She places her hands over hee heart and cries out her wish. With the girls seeing this, they gather and state that they will never give up, Glitter Crystal Pads. The girls' strength is restored and Natalie transformed into Glitter Ace once more. With their newfound weapons, they performed Five of a Kind Glitter Bow which defeated the tree and Leva and Gula; thus breaking the curse placed over the town.

Everything returned to normal and Maya, along with the other girls and family members, have lunch.

Meanwhile, Leva and Gula were on a hard position. Seeing no other option, Bel drains their remaining energy into his lollipop - effecively killing them.

As they fade away, Bel puts the lollipop back into his mouth and smiled.
