Summary

With Summer vacation approaching, the Tropical Club members have been getting to know each other better through their club activities. However, Laura has been acting rather strange lately. Manatsu and the others notice this and try to talk to her, but...

Major Events

  • Manatsu's mother, Aoi meets Laura for the first time.
  • Laura is captured by the Zenzen Yaraneeda and sent to the Witch of Delays' lair.

Synopsis

The Tropical Club admire the scenery from the mountain they hiked up. They chat about the flowers they saw and eat some tropical melon bread, and take a picture before making their way back down. Laura swims through the pure water of the mountain as they walk, and she wistfully observes them.

The Witch of Delays is growing impatient by the lack of her minions progress. Butler tells her that a mermaid has been helping Pretty Cure, which is slowing them down.

The girls eat lunch together in the club room while trying to come up with summer plans. Asuka suggests they go camping, but with their club having no budget to use, they will need to cover their own expenses. Manatsu suggests they go to Minamino island, where she was born. They can stay at her home for free, and there's plenty of empty beach for them to enjoy. She then notices Laura isn't in the Aqua Pot, and while having ice cream, she asks Laura if she is okay. Laura insists she is fine, but Manatsu remains unsure.

The following day after morning classes end, Sango and Manatsu notice that the Aqua Pot is missing and something's off with Laura. As they decide to look for her, Minori finds Laura in the library with "The Little Mermaid" and asks if she wants to be human, which she quickly denies. Minori recalls how happy Laura was when they swapped bodies, and she brings up how the mermaid exchanged her beautiful voice to become a human. Laura insults her, only to express curiosity when Minori brings up a similar example that applies to humans. Such as skipping out on the things they like in order to study really hard for good trades. Sacrifice is sometimes necessary for what people desire.

Minori meets up with Manatsu and Sango, and suggests that Manatsu should have a talk with Laura. Manatsu attempts to get Laura to speak to her at home, asking if she is homesick. Laura denies this, then she complains over how happy Manatsu looks all the time. This makes Manatsu wonder if she isn't having fun with them anymore. Laura refutes this, then she tells Manatsu that Pretty Cure has to work harder for her to become the Queen one day. Manatsu agrees to focus on her more; only for the girls to panic hearing her mom. Laura hides her tail fin with the blanket, just in time for Aoi to open the door.

Aoi prepares some juice for the girls and she exchanges introductions with Laura, who introduces herself as a transfer student from overseas. Aoi is very happy Manatsu has invited someone over and Laura becomes curious seeing her red toenails. Aoi explains that its a pedicure. She can't paint her nails due to her job, so she paints them instead. Laura is taken by how pretty they look, so Aoi and Manatsu suggest they do her fingernails. She paints them a light, pretty shade of blue and after finishing, she admires her nails with her own, which were painted pink.

Meanwhile, the servants are holding a meeting over their lack of progress. They complain, bringing up that their careers or age is hindering them, until Elda complains about Laura. This causes Numeri to recall the Aqua Pot she uses, leading them to formulate a plan.

The following day, the girls meet up at Pretty Holic to get manicures. They take a group picture together, and Manatsu wonders if their Teacher would let them conduct a nail workshop at school. The others approve, only to hear a commotion in town. Chongire attacks the city's docks with a Zenzen Yaraneeda. The girls arrive and transform to stop it. Just as Laura is about to take the Motivation Power back with the Mermaid Aqua Pot, Chongire orders the Yaraneeda to dump a huge pile of similar-looking bottles on her, causing her to lose it in the process. As she searches for it, the Yaraneeda captures her in a net and Chongire throws a smoke-bomb, allowing them to escape. Laura finds the Aqua Pot once submerged underwater, and she uses the bubble pictures to make a trail for the girls to follow.

Back on the surface, the girls de-transform while attempting to come up with a plan. Laura never told Manatsu where she lived in the ocean specifically, because Manatsu never thought to ask. They are approached by the Director of the Aquarium, Manatsu asks where mermaids gather. The Director brings the girls back inside, explaining how vast the ocean itself is. Its so large, that there were plenty of unexplored places. The girls return outside as hopelessness begins to sink in, only for Minori to recall the other day, when she found Laura in the library. It's then they spot the trail of bubbles and recognize them as pictures. They transform back into Pretty Cure and dive underwater to follow the trail.

Back in the Witch of Delays's castle, Laura is trapped in a cage and taken to her. The witch makes an offer with Laura to make her human if she helps her.
