Synopsis

Manatsu starts their club's first meeting, where she tells everyone that Sakuragawa agreed to be club advisor. She elects a surprised Asuka as club president, who initially isn't sure until Laura offers to do it. With that the girls try to figure out what the club does that would be a fun activity they can look forward to. Laura suggests they make a bread club, as its something special she can't have in the ocean. Manatsu wants to be able to do a lot of different things though, and with some encouragement from Laura she rushes out to inform the student council president.

Unfortunately, she calmly informs Manatsu that  its too vague of a description so they cannot approve of the club yet. Manatsu returns to the others to let them know what happened, and Minori comes up with an example schedule they can use, so that they can change their weekly activities. With this they can plan the year thoroughly and schedule important events such as birthdays and Pretty Cure-related duty. Manatsu happily returns to the council room to once again get shot down, the president telling her to narrow their activities to one specific thing.

With that the girls appear to be stumped, and Manatsu complains over wanting to "tropica-shine" with her friends. This odd term catches their attention and she describes what it means, which inspires her to have everyone complete an anonymous survey. They can write down something that gives them that feeling and they will put their papers into a box. Then they will try out each activity and see which one they enjoy the most. First up is reading, so the girls visit the library and locate some books that interest them. Each girl gets one book -except for Manatsu who has a big stack- and return to the club to begin. Manatsu falls asleep very quickly and the girls realize this isn't the best activity for a group. They move on to Queen Lessons, submitted by Laura. Who acts like a Queen while instructing the others to try copying her, but the girls get it mixed up and become flustered.

Laura falls asleep during her demonstration and the girls reason that this won't be approved, so they move onto a strange one: Make friends with Usako. Minori recognizes the name of a character from the game Buddy Bunny Village, and the girls are shocked to find out Asuka wrote it. They head outside and watch Asuka play, but while it is fun for them, they realize the school wouldn't accept this either. They move onto Sango's choice, Cosmetics Club, and head to Pretty Holic. They observe the pretty new summer collection of products and try out some of the some, and the girls enjoy themselves a lot. This leads Manatsu to suggest they try to encourage their classmates to try cosmetics too and inspire them to "tropica-shine".

But once again she gets rejected, because their school forbids makeup. By now the president decides to give them one more day to determine what their club will be about and they must provide a proper application. Otherwise the club will be rejected.

Meanwhile, Elda brings tea for Numeri and Chongire. While Numeri spoils her they are joined by Butler, who tells them to go after Pretty Cure. Elda complains and Numeri checks her pockets for another Yaraneeda sphere, but she can't find the other one she had on her.

The following day the girls feel concerned as their school day is almost done, and they still have no idea what their club should do. But they become distracted when they spot a group of four older women they do no recognize, and they approach them after noticing their troubled expressions. They ask if the girls know anything about a penguin ornament that used to be in that location and explain that prior to graduation they hid something special inside of it. They promised that if they stayed friends for ten years after that, they would come back to get it, so here they are today.

Manatsu is touched by their passionate friendship and she introduces herself to them, then asks for their names. The girls offer to help them look until Laura begins to panic, and she informs the girls that she recognized the penguin they were talking about. It was in the shed and they took it to the recycle center. The girls tell Sakuragawa and she calls there to find out that one of the recycle shops took it in. The older women are prepared to give up but Manatsu reasons that it might still be around. She begins to run off when the others bring up the club deadline, but Manatsu states that this is more important.

The two groups form smaller groups to cover more ground after the city. They ask the various shops and incidentally pass it as an elderly man walks by, accidentally bumping it. The Yaraneeda sphere inside its basket gets jostled, causing it to transform into a monster. The girls spot the large penguin and transform into Cure Summer, Coral, Papaya and Flamingo. Laura pulls out the Aqua Pot but she is unable to find any motivational power within it, allowing the girls to quickly take care of the Yaraneeda and recover the missing item.

The girls return to their school as their seniors express relief. They take out the treasure, a locket that contains a picture of them from back then. As they happily reminisce, Manatsu gets inspired and quickly fills out another application. For their club's goal she puts "to do what is most important now". It sounds vague but for everyone it has a different meaning, and this way everyone can be encouraged to give it a try, even non-members. She asks the council president if she has something like that and describes how it feels, which is what inspired them to name it the "Tropical Club". The group is joined by their seniors, who ask her to approve of the club. She agrees, but she warns the girls that it might be turned down later depending on their activities.

The girls return to the shed and celebrate their success in getting the club established. Laura reminds them that they have to focus on being Pretty Cure too, and they share a laugh while wondering what to do first.
