Luminous nor Max Heart should have existed. But it does and I'm thankful because we have some really good seasons now. But Luminous, she is so weak. I guess the reason why she existed is to keep us viewers from getting bored of Nagisa and Honoka, however, they made Hikari so boring which made you want more Nagisa and Honoka because she did absolutely nothing besides move the plot along at the slowest pace possible. Also Max Heart only exists because of how popular Futari wa became so even tho I am disappointed in Max Heart, I am grateful it exists otherwise we might not have gotten Heartcatch or Suite or Honey's hilariously bad entrance XD Also, if I'm correct, I think Toei looked back at Max Heart and created Splash Star because they realised that maybe sticking to two Cures was a better idea - before pulling a Sailor Moon and giving us more than two Cures in a team starting from Yes! 5~! XD

The hat was probably there because the other villains had something on their heads and I guess Toei wanted Hosshiwa to wear a hat too. I think she should have worn a headband or something similar to Mirage's bow so we could have seen some more of her hair.

Hmmm my bet then is, Honey got those cards with Lovely and Princess off screen. I have a feeling Toei had the episode written but realised they had far too much important filler to keep so they got rid of that episode where Ribbon sneezed it up.
