This might get contradicted later but I’ve come up with a theory regarding Twinkle Imagination. From what we saw in episode 40 and earlier in episode 38 it appears to be triggered by the girls performing a truly selfless act. In 38 Yuni not only apologized to Aiwarn but at the same time also seemed to forgive her (despite the latter’s crimes being far greater than anything Yuni herself did) and in 40 Lala decided to put everything on the line for the sake of the classmates she’d come to know and love (even if it meant potentially losing those friends).

Conversely, episode 39 seemed to be just your run of the mill Tenjou fight. In other words, Elena didn’t unlock her’s because she didn’t actually do anything to really earn it.
