Synopsis
''Cure Heart aids Cure Sword in fighting the Jikochuu and its summoners, but Cure Sword acts distant and leaves immediately after the battle is finished. Confused, Mana attempts to figure out everything and decides to let Rikka in on what happened.''

Summary
Cure Heart is amazed by her new powers and agility. Ira and Marmo both fight with Cure Heart, but she is able to evade their attacks. Marmo orders the Jikochuu crab to hold Cure Sword over the railing and tells Cure Heart that if she tries anything, the Jikochuu will drop her. Additionally, she and Ira reveal that they do everything for the King Jikochuu in order to rule the world.

As Cure Heart attempts to rescue Cure Sword, Cure Sword argues that it isn't any of Heart's concern and that she can handle everything on her own. She manages to break free but the Jikochuu grabs her leg instead, causing her to fall.

Cure Heart catches Sword and they land to safety. Heart's strong feelings produce another Lovead, which she places into her Lovely Commune. Cure Heart is then able to use My Sweet Heart and purify the Jikochuu. The villains leave and Cure Heart attempts to befriend the other Cure, but Cure Sword acts distant. Sword warns her that the Jikochuu will hurt her loved ones if they become serious.

Once they are on their own, Cure Sword's fairy partner, Dabyi, advises that Sword make friends with Cure Heart. However, Cure Sword rejects her suggestion.

Mana turns back to normal and meets up with Rikka and her classmates, who were worried about her disappearance and safety. On the way back home, Rikka references the "Happy Prince" story, in which a golden statue of a prince wants to have himself melted down so all the villagers can become rich and is aided in this by a swallow, who delivers his pieces to the villagers. She compares Mana to the prince in the story. Mana feels guilty about not telling her everything right away and reveals what happened to her, but Rikka thinks Mana's story is too ridiculous to believer. They are then interrupted by the arrival of Mana's parents.

After getting advice from her father, Mana attempts again to tell Rikka the truth about her secret identity. However, Sharuru and the two other fairies, Raquel and Lance, stop her, as revealing her new secret identity as Cure could put innocent people into unnecessary danger.

The next day, Mana tries to resist the temptation to spill the beans to Rikka, but ends up changing her mind.

Meanwhile, a student is late for class and wishes he could control the traffic lights so that he would never be late. Ira appears, extracts the student's heart, and combines it with a traffic light to create a Jikochuu. It starts freezing everything in its path and heads toward Mana's school.

Mana orders the unaffected students to evacuate. However, Rikka insists that she and Mana work together to stall the Jikochuu so the students to have time to evacuate.

Mana transforms in front of Rikka, despite all the warnings Sharuru gave earlier. Cure Heart manages to land a hit on the Jikochuu, but is soon frozen by the Jikochuu's red beam and lies on the floor, helpless.

Desperate to help her best friend, Rikka notices the traffic light button and realizes that if she turns its light green, its time-freezing effects may be undone. She manages to press it right before being shot by the Jikochuu's red light. This triggers a countdown for the green light to appear, which would undo the freezing. A stray cat distracts the Jikochuu and buys enough time for the green light to appear, which frees Cure Heart and Rikka. Cure Heart then successfully uses My Sweet Heart to purify the Jikochuu and return everything to normal.

After school, Rikka makes Mana carry her school bag and wants her to explain everything about the Pretty Cures.
