Synopsis

Laura is relaxing in the bath-tub when she's called to get ready for school. She transforms into a human and gets changed to join Manatsu. Before departing for school they take a picture of her in celebration of her first day.

Upon arrival, a school assembly is held to discuss this month's theme of exercise. Yuriko ends the assembly by introducing the newest student, Laura La Mer. She asks Laura about herself and Laura charms the crowd as she replies. She isn't sure which club she wants to join yet, but because she's so good at swimming she was looking into that. But she's good at everything. Laura is surprised when everyone applauds her, and once in class she is seated next to Manatsu since she's staying with the Natsuumi family. Laura quickly proves how smart she is during science class, but she struggles with the rest of her classes because none of them having anything to do with sea life.

A meeting is held between the Witch of Delays servants. She's become very irate finding out that Laura has become a Pretty Cure, and Butler attempts to convince them to work harder for motivation. Numeri is the only one left after the other two bail on her.

Laura is exhausted once school ends, she is disappointed that she was having trouble. Minori tells her that this is why one studies, but Manatsu perks her up by reminding her that as a member of the school now, she can freely do as she pleases. Such as joining the Tropical Club. It's then Eiko Mizushima joins them, she is the present of swim club and hearing Laura earlier, she thought she would like to participate in their time trials to decide who will compete officially. Their club often loses in the first round, so she's hoping that Laura will help carry them to nationals if she is as good as she says she is. Laura is excited at the idea that she could become the school-superstar, and she decides to give it a try.

At the pool the girls observe some swimmers but Laura isn't impressed. She is sure she can take them, and she is given a spare swimsuit change into. Numeri observes the motivated students and she unleashes a Zenzen Yaraneeda to suck away their motivation as the girls return. They spot her and the monster and transform into Pretty Cure. Laura has just finished changing and she exits the locker room to find Summer being dragged by the Yaraneeda. She asks Numeri why she's there as the other girls get picked up, and she complains before transforming to Cure La Mer. She kicks the Yaraneeda to release the others, Coral defending her from its attack and allowing Papaya and Flamingo to attack it. Summer then uses Otento Summer Strike, allowing La Mer to collect the Motivation Power and use Kurukuru La Mer Stream.  

With everything returned to normal, Laura joins the others in the line up and makes a brilliant dive into the pool. Unfortunately, she isn't able to swim- with her new human legs she has lost the ability. Eiko apologizes for having put her on the spot, which offends Laura as she claims she is really good at swimming. She offers to try again and attempts to dive back into the water to transform back into a mermaid but the others stop her. Eiko is called for a meeting and the others tell her to head on over, much to Laura's disappointment. Manatsu manages to encourage her, saying that she had a lot of fun getting to attend school with her, and Laura wonders what she should do about the club, so Manata asks Laura to join Tropical Club. Laura agrees, in a way only she can pull off.
