Synopsis
With school resuming, Ms. Sakuragawa reminds her students that next week will be class observation day. The girls explain to Laura what that is, and after a moment she brings up how the Queen is like a mother to her. But they acknowledge bringing her there would be a problem. The rest of the class appear to be uneasy, along with their teacher, which makes the girls curious. Ms. Sakuragawa brushes it off and prepares to hand out the papers for it, until she realizes that she forgot them. She runs out of the room and everyone shares a laugh over how clumsy their teacher is.
During lunch Manatsu decides to go over the summer report while their teacher joins them. But they see how absent-minded she is acting, and Sango asks if she is nervous about the observation. She assures the girls that she isn't nervous over meeting their parents; its the fact that her father is coming. She visited them during break and told her father how teaching was going. Her dad is considering retiring soon because of his old age, and because he will be visiting Aozora soon, he would like to come by the school. It's important to him. She got permission from the principal and he agreed that it was fine, he even recommended that he come during class observation day. The girls wonder what "something important" could be and Minori theorizes that he might want her to take over their apple orchard. Ms. Sakuragawa agrees that it makes sense, because she was an only child, so only she could take over for him. Asuka argues that this doesn't explain why he would be coming to see her teach, but Manatsu worries over the idea they could lose their teacher. Ms. Sakuragawa assures them that regardless of what her father wants, she loves being a teacher and wants to keep being one. She might take over the orchard one day, but being a teacher was her childhood dream.
The girls return to class to talk to their classmates about helping them show their teachers father how great of a class they are. They agree that they would help, because they want to look good in front of their parents too. But the problem is that their teacher is also very clumsy, they can only do so much. They recall how she kept knocking over the flower vase, and one time when she accidentally put in footage of herself cuddling a cat during a lesson. Manatsu realizes that this could be hard, but everyone agrees that they also care about their teacher too, so they will do their best to make sure class observation goes well.
Once school ends, the girls inform Minori and Asuka what happened while they make their way home. But they come across their teacher, and it turns out that her dad came to town sooner than planned. So for now she'll be giving him a tour of the school. The girls become awkward while trying to explain who they are to the older man, and they head up to the club room to show him the tropical club- but as it turns out Ms. Sakuragawa forgot the key for it. More clumsy incidents occur when they head inside and try to distract the man who wanted to tell her that she messed up some paperwork. Then while she shows her dad the desk she organized, he manages to locate the one drawer where she shoved everything. He presses it on and everything flies out, causing him to remark that she hasn't changed. When the tour ends, the girls aren't feeling very hopeful. But they remain persistent to ensure the class observation goes well.
Meanwhile, Butler is speaking with the Witch of Delays. She is impatient and he heads off to find Numeri examining Elda. She was going to have her head out to gather motivation today, but she appears to be on vacation mode still. She can't focus on doing any sort of work because she's become sluggish over the long break. Butler asks Numeri to join Elda then, to make sure she's capable of gathering motivational power.
On the day of class observation, Laura curiously observes the girls noticing Manatsu has become tense since spotting her mom. The girls focus on impressing Ms. Sakuragawa's father though, with their classmates agreeing after Manatsu yells out suddenly. This embarrasses her mom and Manatsu sits down again, just in time for their teacher to arrive.
As this is going on, Numeri encourages Elda to do her best as they look around for motivation power. They approach the school and she picks up a lot of it coming from within the school.
Class starts off with their teacher tripping and hitting her nose. One of her students offers a bandage, but its so cute looking that it doesn't help their teacher keep the cool image she was going for. She awkwardly attempts to start teaching them, but the cat hand puppet she was using starts to fall apart. A student offers her some glue, and another brings her chalk. She manages to fix her puppet, but she used to much glue and her hand got stuck to the box of chalk- which then tears open and she gets chalk all over her and the puppet.
Elda looks around and approaches an empty classroom. She decides to use the eraser on the chalkboard nearby to transform it into a Zettai Yaraneeda.
The girls spot the eraser monster from where they sit and quickly excuse themselves to the restroom. As they rush outside the monster quickly begins stealing everyone's motivation, and once Minori and Asuka show up they waste no time transforming into Pretty Cure. The girls attack the monster, which spots out giant erasers and chalk at them. The girls use the erasers to blind the monster after freeing Summer from their grasp, then La Mer takes back the motivation from it. She goes on to purify the monster using Ocean Bubble Shower. As everyone wakes up Elda quickly takes off claiming she has a fever again. Numeri offers to put in a good word for her because she tried.
The girls return to their classroom and the school day continues. Afterwards, Ms. Sakuragawa tells her dad that she wants to keep teaching. He expresses confusion, and she tells him that she was under the assumption he came to see how well she was teaching. He confirms she was right, but this was just a detour; on his trip to visit a pop star he and some friends are really into. She's visiting Aozora city and he was too embarrassed to tell his daughter about his interest in her. Ms. Sakuragawa asks about the apple orchard but he assures her its fine, because the other guys are helping him out. They're a reliable bunch. Ms. Sakuragawa is surprised, but she's very relieved to hear this. Her dad assures her that she's become a wonderful teacher. She might be a little clumsy, but she had her students support and they trust her very much. She waves the guys off and Manatsu apologizes for jumping to the wrong conclusion. Ms. Sakuragawa assures her its fine, because things like this are bound to happen. But today did motivate her to keep helping her class and the club tropica-shine, the girls giving her their full support.
