There’s a number of things to gush over in this episode alone!
First, we have the rare childhood friend win plus lesbian action.
Then there’s the Leoparde power-up / stars reveal.
And to top it off, the ending song has been updated to include the new members of the team!
Edit
Almost forgot: they built their first gunpla / plastic model too10/10 episode
Cherry Magic now has a contender for my favourite LGBTQ+ anime of the season. (Or perhaps they should be considered separately: CM representing gays, and GOMG representing lesbians)

Wow, some scenes in this episode were just on the edge of explicit, about as good as any I’ve seen in any hentai anime.
Also good writing too.
The climactic battle coming against the big bad feels a little early.
I feel like they might wind up fighting Venalita in the last episode.
