Nodoka introduces her new friends to her parents, both of whom are relieved that their daughter is getting along so well. Unfortunately, it means that Rate will be stuck at home alone for a few hours a day as Nokoka and her father also have school and work respectively. Rate becomes down-hearted over being alone, even when the Healing Animals come to keep her company until a sudden opening of the door allowed her to escape to the town. The Healing Animals are worried and decided to call their partners to find her. After the girls find Rate in a local delivery company, Rate explains to the girls that Nodoka's mom reminded her of her real mother, Teatine, and that she felt like a real mother taking care of her back in the Healing Garden. Chiyu asks the staff of the delivery company where Yasuko Hanadera, Nodoka's mother, is and learns she is working in a local Strawberry farm. In there, Daruizen created a MegaByogen that infects the farm while Daruizen knocks Yasuko unconscious. The Cures rush to the farm and fight it, managing to defeat the MegaByogen with Cure Grace purifying the Fruit spirit, who gives her a new elemental bottle.
