Rito's body is now under the control of the bounty hunters due to the weird antenna on his head. He lunges at Eve and pins her down, while the bounty hunters broadcast their voice to her through the antenna. They ridicule her about being alone in the universe, which angers Eve and causes her to kick Rito across the room.
Eve is upset and nearly storms out, but Mikan stops her. Eve tells her that it's pointless and that the bounty hunters were right in saying that she's all alone, but Mikan insists that's not true. Mikan says she still wants to be close to her and that Eve has friends that she can rely on. Upon hearing this, Eve thinks to herself, "
friends...".
Meanwhile, the bounty hunters are hiding while controlling Rito (and making him do crazy perverted things to Haruna and Lala
). Mikan notices that they are hiding in a nearby trash can, so she yells for Lala and Eve to get them. Eve quickly covers Rito's face with a towel so the bounty hunters won't be able to see, then Lala tells Rito to dash straight ahead. Rito dashes towards the bounty hunters, and Lala blasts him with her tail, destroying the antenna and sending the bounty hunters flying.
Afterward, Mikan thanks Eve and Lala for taking out the bad guys, saying that she wasn't really useful compared to them. Eve disagrees, saying that Mikan was the one who pinpointed their location. She thanks Mikan, which makes her smile tremendously
Meanwhile, Lala wants to make an invention out of the now broken antenna, which makes Rito freak out
