Mirage reveals that she had made Maria into her servant who only listens to her orders, commanding her to attack the Cures. Blue steps in to protect the Cures and try to reason with Mirage, but even he is overpowered by Maria's attack. Believing they can still reach Maria's heart, the Cures transform into their Innocent Forms, in order to try and get Maria to regain her memories. When Maria launches a powerful attack at Iona, Megumi steps in to take the hit, reminding Maria of when she protected Iona from Phantom, with Iona's feelings eventually manage to reach Maria. When Mirage attempts to take control of Maria once again, Iona's feelings awaken a new power from the Shining Make Dresser, allowing the Cures to use Innocent Purification to free Maria from Mirage's influence, returning her to Iona's side. Meanwhile, as Blue tries to express his true feelings to Mirage, she is suddenly swept away by Deep Mirror, who once again puts her under his influence.
