Memmy gives Nai and Mea WolzaPhones. He says he will let them borrow the power. Nai turns Mea into a centipede. Memmy scolds them and calls in Peewee with Vancuria. At the Ozu house, Houka has money from a modeling show and she is treating them all to lunch. Hikaru is happy to be eating sushi for the first time. Urara grabs Smoky and says he is not going because he is being punished for his prank. The boys coward in fear. He denies it. Mandora-Boy is crying. Smoky gave him bugs and all his leaves have been eaten. Urara scolds him. He goes to his master and wants to be taken. Hikaru tells him to stay and that Urara is right to punish him. They leave.

At the sushi place, as soon as they are about to eat their sushi, it turns to kitty litter! Hikaru asks if this is part of the sushi. They all shake their head no. Urara spots Smoky on the sushi rail. He spins around and dishes fly around. Nai and Mea see this from their hiding spot. Back in the special room, the gang are uncomfortable. Mandora-Boy informs them of food being turned into sand all over town, they suspect Smoky. Hikaru calls Smoky. The gang scold Smoky. Urara says he harmed innocent people, he doesn't know what they are talking about. Smoky pleads his face. Hikaru doesn't back him up. Smoky flies out of the lamp and into Hikaru's face and swears he is telling the truth. Hikaru asks for the truth. Smoky breaks off from the lamp and says Hikaru is not his master anymore. He farts in their face and fills the room with yellow smoke. He trips and continues running away.

The gang try to clear the air. Urara looks sadly at the MagiLamp. Hikaru tells her the story of Smoky. He was born from a volcano in Magitopia. He caused trouble from everyone and wanted to open a forbidden box and Shine warned him not to open it. He opens it and black energy comes from it. He disappeared and appears in the lamp. Sungel prevented the Box of Destruction's curse of disappearance by putting him in the lamp. If he is away for three hours from the lamp, he will disappear. Smoky try to escape but couldn't, he has no choice. Hikaru says he always returns. Outside, Smoky is in a field. Urara finds him and says he is family and she believes in him.

The Magiranger corner Smoky and he blasts them with the Wolzaphones. He turns back into Nai and Mea as they disguising as him. Peewee arrives and Shine identifies her as a Harpy that will turn people's hunger into stomach bugs. They grow and burst out of the person. Vancuria blasts them. Meanwhile, Urara knows Smoky wants to be a good cat. Smoky thinks he doesn't think he is important, Urara says he does, this is why he scolds him. You have to do things to earn trust. This intrigues Smoky. Urara offers to go home. Smoky spots the Harpy flying and wants to chase her. Urara reminds him of his time limit, he says it is his chance to do something trustworthy. She informs Hikaru.

The others tell him to go after Smoky. Vancuria holds Pink in a hold. Peewee sings, making a wave and makes all humans go down. Smoky takes Peewee down and fights her. Blue then fights her while Smoky recovers. She untransforms. Smoky starts disappearing and he stops it. He tackles Peewee and then scratch and kicks. He kicks her beak. Urara runs to him and he slowly disappears. He thinks of his mother, he didn't have one because he was born from an volcano. He wonders if she would be like Urara. Shine sucks in the smoke in the MagiLamp. Urara hugs Shine. Shine apologizes to Smoky. Urara gets a new spell and Peewee stands up. Urara transforms. She does a special attack using the MagiLamp.

Houka, Kai and Makito think of errands Smoky should do as a punishment like taking out the weeds from Aniki Weeds or cleaning.
