Madoka holds an assembly to officially hand over her duties as student council president to Sakurako, learning later from Fuyuki that she is to study abroad in London once she finishes middle school. The next day, while eating donuts with Hikaru and the others, Madoka expresses her concerns to Elena. Madoka feels that her nickname as the Moon may have more truth to it than they realize due to depending on others to shine, though Elena tells Madoka that could shine on her own if she really wants to. Garuouga then suddenly appears and uses Darknest's power boost to overwhelm the PreCure, telling Madoka to surrender as he sacrificed everything to acquire his power. But Madoka realizes that she can decide things on her own and does not need to rely on others to shine, awakening her twinkle imagination. With her new power, Madoka and the other Cures manage to defeat Garuouga. Later Madoka tells her father that she hasn't decided if she wants to study abroad yet, but wants to decide things on her own with Hikaru and the others.
