Mama appears troubled while using a guillotine to cut lettuce, prompting Papa and Noelle to discuss the Red String of Fate. Papa asserts he shares this bond with Mama, though she seems uncomfortable. In class, Noelle ties a literal red string to Yuusuke, but Muse accidentally breaks it, causing distress until their teacher offers reassurance. Silky questions her own romantic prospects, while Eros instructs Muse to take Noelle’s halo. Mama’s erratic behavior, including random vacuuming, leads her to flee in tears after receiving a mysterious letter. Sara suggests this stems from a love letter, causing Papa panic. Muse transforms into a cushion to comfort Papa, offering bad advice that leads him to insult Mama’s cooking. This rift causes Noelle to cry over fears for her parents' relationship. When Mama discovers Papa with Muse, she believes he is leaving for Muse. A tug-of-war ensues, which the family wins, leading to an apology and reconciliation. Mikael and Raphael discuss Noelle’s potential angelic sacrifices, while Noelle discovers the letter was an invitation to the Demon World Witches' Tournament.
