After the ordeal of last night Mihoshi's ship is destroyed and she has nowhere to go. She pulls out her control cube, which she doesn't quite know how to use, and tries to send out a distress signal.

At that time a space ship is passing through the solar system. picking up the distress signal the commander of the ship decides to investigate. The commander is Princess Ayeka of Jurai returning from some diplomatic talks. Having some time to spare before rendezvousing with Princess Sasami, her younger sister, Ayeka decides to respond. When she arrives on Earth she finds Mihoshi who tells her that she sent the distress signal. Shortly after she sees Ryoko. Ayeka and Ryoko know each other there is bad blood between them. Each tell a story of when they first met and how the other ruined their perfect day. Gee I wonder whose story is true?

During her stay Tenchi's grandfather orders him to show her around their planet. During their walk through the woods feelings between Ayeka and Tenchi surface. They visit the tree of Masaki (Which is really Yosho's tree, Funaho, but that comes in later). While leaving the tree Ayeka stumbles into Tenchi's arms. They nearly kiss but nothing happens.

When returning home Ryoko and Mihoshi are waiting. After an argument begins between Ayeka and Ryoko they both fly above the atmosphere to fight ship to ship. Ayeka's Ryu-Oh vs. Ryoko's Ryo-Ohki. Ryoko takes Tenchi along with her. While fighting and taunting each other over view screens Ryoko grabs Tenchi and hold him tight. This makes Ayeka very jealous. In a desperate show of love Ayeka decides to ram the other ship resulting in a big explosion which destroys both ships.

The next day while eating breakfast Ayeka is upstairs and won't come out of her room because she's so upset. Tenchi brings her up some food and she decides to take a vacation and enjoy her stay on Earth.
