Synopsis[]

Urie weighs herself on the scale and is shocked to discover she’s gained weight again. At the same time, her Earthly One, Ginevra, is mocked by the Bad Girlz for being too plain and childish in her appearance. Both are left with worries about their appearances.

The angel students are enjoying breakfast together, except for Urie who is only having tea. She has put herself on a diet to lose weight and though the others protest that she is already in great shape, she won’t be swayed as she thinks herself fat when compared to everyone else. Her mascot, Lampo, reminds her of her meeting with Arkhan and she rushes to talk to him about her human.

In the angel’s classroom, Arkhan and Urie watch Ginevra reconsidering her current look and he points out that the human is starting to dislike herself. Temptel and Cabiria are watching the same thing from the devil classroom as Temptel wants Cabiria to push Ginevra to hate herself. New clothes, more make up, even piercing and tattoos are ways in which humans try to fit in byt mimicking the cool people. But as Arkhan declares to Urie, trying to imitate others for acceptance or to gain affection is to ignore the true beauty of uniqueness. For this reason, Urie msut show Ginevra she doesn’t have to change herself while Cabiria is charged with pushing the girl to become someone else.

Cabiria hurries to the Challenge Room so she can get started and Temptel ends the lesson for the other devil students. Gas watches her leave, completely lovestruck, while Kabale teases him that the professor is out of his league. She suggests he should try to reinvent himself with a new fashion, pointing out Sulfus with his new glove that he never takes off. She suggests he give the glove to Gas so he can get their teacher’s attention but Sulfus ca tell she’s just curious of what he’s hiding and refuses. Even so, she corners him and forces him to prove nothing is wrong. Sulfus, fearing anyone to see the mark of the broken V.E.T.O., tries to lift the glove only a fraction until Kabale pulls it off completely. However, the mark has mysteriously vanished and while the disappointed girl storms off, Sulfus is glad to be free of it. He gives his glove to Gas, no logner needing it, and the orange devil runs off. No one notices Malachia who invaded the classroom and is now following after Gas, needing to get the glove for his mistress.

Urie arrives late for her challenge with Cabiria, though the devil snidely comments on her weight just to annoy her. Cabiria has chosen their battle for the first move, picking a rhythmic gymnastics competition. She summons her mascot Aracno who transforms into a ball for her routine. She puts on a great performance and scores three 9s, a tough score to beat.

Gas has put on Sulfus’s glove and tries to ask Temptel a question, but the professor is busy and brushes him off without a secodn glance. Malachia continues to secretly stalk the student, trying to get the glove.

Cabiria declares it now Urie’s turn to perform, passing her the ball. The angel panics at the idea of replicating such a great performance but quickly realizes she doesn’t need to copy Cabiria. She rejects the ball and instead turns her own halo into a hulla hoop to create her own original routine, adding in her Flower Fly for special effects. She easily earns two 10s but just before she gets the last score, Cabiria uses Wild Fly to summon a swarm of bats to attack her. Urie is knocked down and given a 4, makgin Cabiria the winner despite the blatant cheating. She gets the first move influencing Ginevra.

The human classes end and Ginevra, seeing the other popular girls, is still feeling down on herself. She is approached by Cabiria who claims to be the sister of popular boy Nico. She lies that Nico is considering Ginevra as his date to the autumn party but thinks she could do more with her looks, offering her a free pass to the best beauty salon in town. Ginevra is tempted by the offer and chooses to go, wanting Nico to notice her.

Cabiria is content in her victory but all her bragging gives Urie an idea of what to do. She transforms and disguises herself as a beauty consult, meeting Ginevra at the door to start her makeover. She drags the girl through several beauty treatments, including tanning beds and hair care which makes her a bit nervous.

Gas is still trying to catch Temptel’s eye with the glove, raising his hand during class but still getting nothing.

Urie finishes Ginevra’s makeover and once she sees herself in the mirror, the girl is horrified. Declaring this look is not right for her, she flees from the salon in tears but Urie is satisfied. The next day, Ginevra goes to school in her old look, deciding it feels better on her though still worries it isn’t attractive enough. Cabiria concedes that Urie won the competition but mentions Ginevra will suffer as no one will like her as she is now. Uria doesn’t believe this claim and soon enough, its proven wrong when Ginevra does catch the eye of a boy in her class: Andrea. Satisfied with this conclusion, Urie runs off to enjoy a victory slice of cake, having also realized she needn’t change for anything.

Gas is disappointed by all his failures to talk to Temptel and decides the glove is useless, tossing it away. Malachia is there to catch it. He approaches a nearby mirror and uses it as a portal into the other dimension where he presents the item to Reina. As she harshly points out, Reina doesn’t want the article itself but the lingering memory of Sulfus’s tainted skin, marked by the broken VETO. With this in her grasp plus the tears of Raf, the “chosen one”, she can get started on her plan.
