Plot
As the other engines prepare for a Valentine's Day party, Kana is worried because she doesn't know what to bring!

Another AEG episode where the message is all over the place. One part was about Kana trying to bring something for the party and then for some reason the message was about being together for Valentine's Day is the best of all but wouldn't it just be better if you have Kana trying to make a heart with all the stuff she could find but wanted it to be something special instead of just copying Sandy until she realises she can make one using her electricity or maybe she can make an electric heart but can't use up her electrical energy but the message of the story is that being at the party is what makes a Valentines party so special, it would at least give the message about being together some sense. The show may have better pacing but it bypass much needed progression to maybe make it more character driven than story driven. It felt like they had no idea which plot to work with and so slap them together to at least give it some sense.
