It's cleaning day for the entire school. Rima and Yaya are cleaning around a fountain when Yaya gets sick of it and throws her broom. She spins a statue of a frog on the fountain around and around. Suddenly, a secret passageway opens. Yaya drags Rima, Pepe, and Kusukusu into it. They come to a door and Yaya manages to get it open. They go inside to see what lies within, but instead, the door closes behind them and they are trapped. Rima begins to have flashbacks of when she was nearly kidnapped, but Yaya reassures her. Meanwhile, the others are wondering where they went off to. Kusukusu and Pepe soon find a small opening in the room they are in and crawl through it. Yaya tells Rima she is just a big baby at heart and scoots closer to her. Rima leans Yaya's head on her shoulder and tells her a story. Afterwards, they both fall asleep. They finally find the other Guardians and tell them where Rima and Yaya are. The other Guardians have found the secret passageway and soon find Rima and Yaya after opening the door. They wake them up and take them back to the Royal Garden. Tsukasa stops by and tells them that he built the room and that it was fun. However, they disagree, so he gives them cake as an apology. | ||||||

While taking Ami shopping, Amu sees a poster that Easter has produced. It says it's starring DL, but DL is really Ikuto under their control. The Guardians decide to go to the concert the next day. They try to interview DL, but security is too strict. While the other Guardians distract the staff, Amu and Tadase manage to get backstage. They find Ikuto, and Yoru attempts to get him, but Ikuto won't budge. He refuses to talk to Amu or Tadase. Security finds Amu and Tadase, and kicks them out. They decide to listen to the concert and protect everyone's Hearts' Eggs. When Ikuto performs, X Eggs are extracted from the audience. The Guardians transform, but only Amu and Tadase go after Ikuto. Yoru joins them, but he can't get Ikuto to come to his senses. Instead, they get hit with powder that inables them to move. Tadase also tries to talk to Ikuto about the past, but he walks off, still under complete control. Amu and Tadase use Platinum Heart to purify the eggs. Amu asks Tadase what exactly happened between him and Ikuto, and Tadase agrees to tell her. | ||||||

When Tadase was around his current age after arriving from school, he sees Betty dead, with Ikuto by her side. He asks why, but Tadase sees the Dumpty Key in Ikuto's hands. Tadase's grandmother later falls in critical condition, and since then, Tadase believed his mother's words about Ikuto. In the present, Tadase's unsure of the past now, but things are too vague to really know. They go into a secret room behind the principal's office to see Tsukasa and find him with prepared tea.

In Tadase's house, a young Tadase runs over to Ikuto and Utau. His mother says they will be living with them. Tsukasa talks to Ikuto later, and shows him a bird learning to fly. Later that evening, Ikuto has given birth to Yoru's egg. Tsukasa delivers Alto's violin to Ikuto. They talk about Alto leaving and the current state of the family. The reason why Ikuto left one day is to come with Tsukasa to learn more about his father. During a snowy day in town, Tsukasa realizes that his wallet was lost, so Ikuto plays the violin. This gets the attention of bystanders, who give money. While playing the violin one day, an old woman gives him a photo of Alto. Ikuto cries over this, and as Tsukasa comforts him, Yoru is born. Easter finally finds him, and Tsukasa is too late to get him. In the void, the bubbles flash forward to today: Tadase learns the truth of what happened to Betty. Amu says this isn't Ikuto's would-be self and triggers the full power of the Humpty Lock. Miki, Su, Tadase, and Amu are thrown back to the real world, and Ran also returns.

Amu keeps fighting and tries to explain to Hikaru nothing is useless after Kazuomi blocks an attack. The Humpty Lock glows brightly and Amu uses Open Heart Full Volume! to purify the giant X Character. After the dust cleared, Hikaru explains that he collected gems in an attempt to fill the void in his heart. Amu explains that what he was actually looking for was feelings. Ran, Miki, Su, and Diamond explain that even though his Heart's Egg is gone, the Guardian Characters are always with him. The Embryo regains it radiance and is revealed to be Hikaru's Heart's Egg, which promptly goes back into its owner. Hikaru begins crying, and Kazuomi apologizes to Hikaru as what he wanted was Hikaru to be happy. After everything, Ikuto tells Amu that he has a secret to confess and kisses her on the cheek and leaves a jealous Tadase and Utau, and a burned out Amu. Everyone goes their separate ways. The next day, the Guardians have a meeting about their success. Yaya reveals that Utau is having another concert. Now that Utau is famous, Yukari is planning on moving to a bigger office. Nikaidou, Kukai, and Kairi are already packing. The Guardians are handling some stray X Characters, and Tadase asks if Amu likes Ikuto. She quickly denies any feelings for him, and she asks why. That question has been on Tadase's mind and Amu sees Tadase for who he is. The X Eggs come, and thanks to Tadase, Amu purifies them. The remaining three think that Amu and Tadase are in love, and Amu gets flustered. |
