The girls were cleaning up the spaceship and Hikaru brought a bamboo branch along. The girls realised today is the Tanabata Festival and Lala's AI informed it is also Lala's Birthday. (Although Uni is nowhere to be around after they landed back on Earth last episode)
Suddenly a man appeared and was totally interested with Fuwa, Prunce and Lala claiming they are UMA (Unidentified Mystery Animal). Hikaru recognise the man is her father, Yoichi who has returned overseas.
The rest of the girls also learn that Yoichi is a believer in UMA and all his expressions is the same as Hikaru. Yoichi returned home and his wife and grandmother welcome him back however Hikaru's grandfather, Haru (who we now know is Yoichi's father) ignored him completely.
As the girls prepare the BBQ for tonight, Hikaru explained that her father is a lecturer in an university and she was influenced by her father's passions on searching UMA. Hikaru was the one who encouraged her father to go overseas. But Haru objected the idea of his son going claiming that he is abandoning his family for an impossible dream. Even Haru didn't send Yoichi off when he went overseas.

Haru went off on his own and the girls and Yoichi went to look for him. Suddenly Haru was turned into a Knot Trigger by Tengu. The girls and Uni (who appeared out of nowhere) transformed but tried to hold their punches against Haru.
Cure Star could hear Haru's regret that he felt responsible for not teaching his son of being a family man but Cure Star told him it is not his fault and she actually want her parents to pursue their dreams and their family will be together even if they are far apart.
Cure Cosmos lend the Gemini Princess pen from Cure Milky and purify Haru with the Precure Rainbow Splash. After the battle, Yoichi found Haru resting on a bench. He carried Haru back home and despite Haru's complaint, Yoichi did not budge and continue the way back home.
That night, the girls and Hikaru's family celebrate both Lala's birthday and the Tabata Festival with Uni watching from afar. The next day, Yoichi was ready to go overseas again and Haru actually send his son off despite not saying a word this time...
This episode provide some development about Hikaru's father and grandfather and the reason why Haru was so angry with Yoichi. Apparently Haru is pretty stubborn and he blamed himself for him not teaching his son that families should stay together. However it was actually Hikaru herself who insist that her parents should follow their dreams and knew that their bonds are very strong and can never be broken.
Of course, Yoichi is voiced by one of my favourite Veteran Seiyuu, Otsuka Akio who voiced two of my favourite badass male leads- Japanese version of Solid Snake and Black Jack and seeing Otsuka playing a more lively father figure make you wonder what will Solid Snake and Black Jack's lives will be if their whole lives isn't filled with death and destruction.
Overall, an interesting episode although I felt that Uni is totally ignored after the last three episodes and is probably due to the Tanabata Festival that aired on the same day of this episode. Next episode, the girls has a welcome party for Uni and Fuwa ate something that cause her to multiply many clones of herself! Until then, see you in the next post!
