The episode focuses on Pretty Cure trying to get Tsukikage Yuri, who is Cure Moonlight, to accept them as the protectors of the Tree of Hearts.

Synopsis
The girls go to the botanic garden so that Tsubomi can introduce Erika to some lilies they have there. While there, they meet Tsukikage Yuri, who was invited by Tsubomi's grandmother to see the lilies. They talk over a cup of team and Erika whispers to Tsubomi that it is a good opportunity to ask Pretty Cure advices from Yuri. When Kaoruko forgot the snacks for the tea, the girls and Yuri go to get them, the girls using the chance to ask her for help. She, however, explains how she fought alone her whole life as Cure Moonlight, and that she does not accept Tsubomi and Erika as Pretty Cure.

Over at the daifuku store, they meet Harano Masahiko, who also struggles to be accepted by his superior, his father. Before Tsubomi, Erika, and Yuri leaves, Masahiko brings the daifuku to them so that Kaoruko can eat them, but Erika tastes one daifuku delightfully. Later that night, he works making the daifuku seriously to pass.

The next day, Masahiko fails, because his father was unsastified by his daifuku and put the same ingredients he made. Masahiko runs away from his father and grandfather. Sasorina appears to steal Masahiko's Heart Flower to turn him into a daifuku-making Desertarian.

The Pretty Cure returns to save Masahiko. Then, the daifuku-making Desertarian uses his quick attack to strike the Pretty Cure. Yuri saves them with her half-broken Precure Seed as a shield. She then told them to quickly finish him.

The girls thanks Yuri, but she did not thank them. Masahiko was woken up by his sister, and his father and grandfather explain him about his skills by making daifuku. Masahiko accepted that he was mistaken and try his best to make daifuku better.
