Nodoka introduces her new friends to her parents, both of whom are relieved that their daughter is getting along so well. Unfortunately, it means that Rate will be stuck at home alone for a few hours a day as Nokoka and her father also have school and work respectively. Rate becomes down-hearted over being alone, even when the Healing Animals come to keep her company until a sudden opening of the door allowed her to escape to the town. The Healing Animals are worried and decided to call their partners to find her. After the girls find Rate in a local delivery company, Rate explains to the girls that Nodoka's mom reminded her of her real mother, Teatine, and that she felt like a real mother taking care of her back in the Healing Garden. Chiyu asks the staff of the delivery company where Yasuko Hanadera, Nodoka's mother, is and learns she is working in a local Strawberry farm. In there, Daruizen created a MegaByogen that infects the farm while Daruizen knocks Yasuko unconscious. The Cures rush to the farm and fight it, managing to defeat the MegaByogen with Cure Grace purifying the Fruit spirit, who gives her a new elemental bottle.

Nodoka discovers that the editor of the school newspaper, Michio Masuko, is spying on her as he believes that she may be linked to the monster attacks happening in Sukoyaka. One day while walking in the forest, Nodoka spots Michio and attempts to run away from him, only to trip and injure herself. Michio discovers Guaiwaru summoning a MegaByogen. Michio confronts the MegaByogen, but it knocks him over and he loses his glasses. The Cures arrive and fight the MegaBjögen and purify the Rain spirit. Afterwards, Nodoka helps Michio, who apologizes for suspecting her.

Chiyu is in training for an upcoming track and field event. However, she suddenly loses the ability to perform the high jump at her usual standards. Pegitan becomes worried and after consulting his treatment books, comes to the conclusion that Chiyu has a case of the 'Yips'. On the day of the event, Daruizen creates a MegaByogen to disrupt the activities. The Cures fight the MegaByogen and defeat it. The freed Ice spirit gives a new elemental bottle to Chiyu, who also regains her confidence and manages to complete the high jump.
