Oblivious to the chaos that she has caused with her mad dash through town, Yuu is enthralled with the Feather Star as it comes in for a landing; upon learning that she can see the Feather Star, the two alien cats Posi and Nega draw Yuu aboard where there is a dysphoric fantasy dream sequence that gives way to an encounter with the grateful alien Pino-Pino. Having some family government imparted at the breech upon arriving home sets the stage for the ultimate silver lining of Yuu finding that Natsume and Tetsuo are not hostile to housing the two alien felines who later lead her through utilizing her new-found magical powers; after some cryptic and perplexing trial and error, Yuu successfully initiates her first henshin into Creamy Mami.

Debut! Debut!!

Episode 3 • Jul 15, 1983

Toshio's efforts to temper Midori's expectations of spending time with Yuu obfuscate the fact that Yuu herself is grappling with the disadvantages of being Creamy Mami -- the greatest of which is the narcissistic and fanatical Shingo Tachibana hell-bent on making Mami a star with his company as he orders his staff to find her. The panic Yuu is driven into at the sight of Toshio explaining Shingo his recent encounters with Creamy Mami while Midori tries to steal lustful glances at her illustrates the immense contention that Yuu undergoes as she tries to keep her double life as Creamy Mami a secret although Tetsuo and Natsume are picking up some piecemeal clues; nevertheless, Yuu unwisely decides to »debut« before Toshio so that she can explain things and nudge him toward the rest of his life but is shocked to find that Shingo has other ideas and is not taking no for an answer. Facing the backdrop of Shingo and Megumi ultimately having made the choice for her, Creamy Mami begins her career at Parthenon Productions in earnest.

Scramble Top Ten

Episode 4 • Jul 22, 1983

The hysterical frenzy over Creamy Mami's debut song evenly divided between people buying the album and converging on the upcoming concert obfuscates that the magical idol is actually Yuu Morisawa effecting the mirage of being infirm -- although she almost blows it at the mention of her favorite dish. Yuu finds that the successful concert at Parthenon Productions as Creamy Mami does her no good against Natsume's zeal to impart her maternal perspective on her subterfuge or the impromptu test for sleeping in class; if those problems are not enough, Toshio's teasing and a collision into Midori costs Yuu her compact right when she is going to need it the most. Yuu's frantic search for the compact gets a big boost from Toshio explaining that Midori at the amusement park has it; while she successfully conquers the high-stakes aerial adventure necessary for its retrieval, Yuu ultimately ends up igniting Megumi's vendetta of Creamy Mami.

In danger!? Mami's secret

Episode 5 • Jul 29, 1983

While watching Hayato Kidokoro tie himself in knots answering the telephones, Shingo revels in the prospect of Parthenon Productions flourishing and thriving when Nega admonishes against keeping Natsume and Tetsuo waiting for too long at home prior to reminding her about the reporters; it is the search for a place to cancel her henshin before beginning the home commute that Megumi obtains enough vicarious data to conclude that Yuu Morisawa and Creamy Mami are one and the same prior to taking revenge by searching for a way to prove her hypothesis. While Midori has gathered the courage to convey his affection for her the next day, he is crestfallen to have Yuu race right by him oblivious to nearly bowling over Toshio on her way to the Studio where following Posi's suggestion to kill time exploring lands Yuu right in Megumi's clutches whose plan becomes more likely to succeed by the minute along with the prospect of Megumi blowing the whistle on Creamy Mami. The ironic deus ex machina that enables Yuu to turn the tables comes in the form of Toshio and Midori finding themselves the vendetta of an unreasonable and persistent sentry whose chase ends where Yuu is being held; thanks to Posi and Nega helping with the back-end logistics, Yuu successfully extinguishes Megumi's hypothesis.
