Episode 19 - The Magic Fades Away
  bara no hanabira ga maochita toki, shizuka ni mahou wa kieru
  bara no hanabira ga maochita toki, shizuka ni mahô wa kieru
  [When the Rose Petal Falls, the Magic Will Vanish]
First aired - 7th February 1997

Practicing hardOne evening, Misao stays behind late at school to practice her piano playing. She is eager to play the piece composed by her father, Shigeki Amano, because he is due to return home after working overseas for several years. Rumiya watches from his room in Ramia's house, glad to see that Misao will have some much-deserved happiness in her life. Ramia, however, is more determined than ever to beat Pretty Sammy — the scales of Gemini are almost balanced, so this is her last chance. Rumiya wants to give up and leave Misao to enjoy the weekend with her father. Ramia, naturally, isn't interested in Rumiya's feelings, and sends him off to summon Pixy Misa once more.

At school the next day, Class 4-3 discuss what to do for the upcoming school festival. Several ideas are suggested, but nobody can agree and the bell rings before any decision is reached, so Miss Mihoshi suggests they all think about it over the weekend. As Misao and Sasami walk home together, Kotoe Amano, Misao's mother, pulls up alongside in her car. She tells Misao that her father's flight has just landed. She has even bought plenty of food for a special family meal, but seems annoyed about having to take time off work. Suddenly she realises that she forgot to buy some roses, Shigeki's favourite flower, and asks Misao to pick some up on the way home.

The final transformation?As Misao leaves the florist with a bouquet of red roses, she meets Rumiya outside. He hypnotise her once again, promising that this will be the last time he turns her into Pixy Misa. He tells Misa to use her maximum magical power to create utter chaos in this, her final battle. She picks up the bouquet of roses and uses her magical baton on them to create an extra-powerful "Hyper Love-love Monster".

Sasami and her family are eating dinner when Ryo-ohki senses a massive magical reaction. Washu also spots it, picked up on her magic-sensing radar. Sasami, Ryo-ohki and Washu all rush outside to see a huge rose monster laying waste to the town! The enormous bloom unleashes a cloud of pollen over the entire town. Sasami covers her mouth and nose to avoid breathing the pollen and rushes back indoors. Inside, she finds her parents, normally completely devoted to one another, arguing fiercely. The same sort of thing is happening all over town — the cloud of pollen is filling everyone with hatred! Looks like a job for Pretty Sammy...

On the road into town, Shigeki's taxi is caught in a traffic jam, the police having closed the roads. On hearing about the massive flower attacking the town, he jumps out of the taxi and heads for the town on foot, worried about his wife and daughter. Misao's mother also hears the news and sets out to find Misao.

I didn't know Pretty Sammy was that kind of show...Meanwhile, Sammy arrives at the disaster area to confront Pixy Misa. Misa attacks using the giant flower's stems to wrap Sammy up. Washu, who is monitoring the fight, is astonished to see that Misa's magical power is three times stronger than usual. It seems that Pixy Misa is finally going to fulfil her mission and crush Pretty Sammy once and for all. As Misa goes to deliver her final blow, Shigeki runs onto the scene calling out for Misao, and she stops in her tracks. Sammy notices Kotoe running towards him as well, and worries that under the influence of the magic pollen Misao's parents will fight with each other. With Misa distracted, the bonds holding Sammy loosen enough for her to break free, and they launch into one-on-one combat. Shikegi calls Misao's name again, and once again Misa freezes. The emotion caused by seeing both her parents is enough for Misao's memories to break through into her Pixy Misa persona. Spotting her opportunity, Sammy casts the Pretty Coquettish Bomber spell, destroying the giant rose. The truth comes outAs Misa floats defeated to the ground, she reflects that roses should not be used to make people unhappy because roses are her father's favourite flower. Sammy flies to the point where Misa landed and finds Misao there clutching Pixy Misa's magical baton. She finally realises that Misao and Misa are one and the same. She drops her own baton in shock and changes back into Sasami. Misao is devastated to discover that all this time she has been fighting with her best friend, and with a cry of anguish she disappears.
