Nirvash has been feeling better around Renton, so Mischa runs some tests while Eureka is piloting the Nirvash with Renton. During the test, Renton complains about the picture on the screen, but Eureka tells him that he will eventually adapt to it. When they finish, Eureka praises Nirvash, then she speaks with Renton, "He's saying that it was really fun flying with you today. He hardly ever says anything like that, because he's really moody. Besides, I had fun as well. I wish I could pilot him feeling like this all of the time. It would be great if I could feel this way every time I ride the waves."

Holland calls the crew together to tell them all that the Gekkostate is broke. With that, he decides to hold a contest for everyone to propose ideas for how to make money. Whoever comes up with the best idea will get a kiss from Talho. Hap takes on a smuggling job for Gekkostate, shooting down Renton's idea to go to a lifting contest, even though it involves slipping past a high security military base. While on the job, the group comes across the eruption of a geyser and have a lot of fun doing some lifting with great waves.


+ This episode serves as an introduction to the Gekkostate for Renton and the audience. For Eureka, it is a day in the life, though.
+ It does establish the code of conduct, as it were, for the Gekkostate. They don't lift for money, they support themselves through questionable means, and so on.
+ Everyone in the Gekkostate loves to lift, and Eureka enjoys being able to share nice feelings with Nirvash, uwah.
+ Mater, Maurice, and Linck appear heavily in this episode, but they are not named. She spends a lot of her time with these children.
+ Mischa also makes a notable appearance.

When the episode returns to the Gekkostate, Eureka and Mischa have a short but unusual exchange while Mischa checks Eureka's vitals. In loose order, Eureka is finally allowed to leave the sick bay, instructed to stay away from the hangar, asks how Renton is doing, and finally asks what love is to Mischa's great surprise.

After the older crew members have a discussion over this development, Holland runs into Eureka who asks after Renton, wanting to go see him. Quickly, Holland comes up with a lie that Renton is out shopping for a few days with Hilda and Talho. The rest of the crew perpetuates the lie with Hilda and Talho hiding while Hap covers for Holland while everyone waits for him to break the news of Renton's disappearance. Unfortunately, Hilda slips up and runs into Eureka while she makes a run for the bathroom. Eureka's face lights up when she sees her, immediately asking for Renton.

Uncertain what to do now, the crew has another discussion over the situation until Holland blows up at them. He storms off to finally confront Eureka with the truth. She is understandably confused, questioning Holland, "What? Why? Why did Renton leave? Did he leave because I was mean to him? Holland, that's how it is, isn't it? It's my fault, right? Answer me!" Without waiting, Eureka rushes to Renton's room, realizing that he is gone. As she holds onto his sweat suit, she quietly says that she wants to see him.


+ Oh, Mater and Linck are happy enough to sing when they are around Eureka. Her children are the cutest, fight me . . .
+ Eureka already has the following episode which ruins the surprise, but she is going to wonder if it truly was her fault that he left. Oh, no.
+ Love, huh? . . . Eh, it can't be important.
