Now, she has Santa magic, which allows her to create anything starting with "San-". A montage of untranslatable jokes follows, where she misunderstands what he's doing and attempts to improve it by materializing some ridiculous object.
They deliver presents to sleeping children, granting them their wishes. Well mostly.
This girl wants to become a doctor to save lives, but her orphanage is too far away from schools. Luckily, volunteers have come to educate these orphans. Look, there they are.
This episode opens with a monologue by Mai, saying that every meeting implies an eventual parting, but if you part, you may never rejoin. Still the heart remembers.
Then we move on the the beach where we repeat the same getting arrested gag that the first episode had.
For various reasons, Shirley is unable to help. The best she can do is give them a little time alone for Mai to say goodbye, and even that only at the end of the line on Christmas Eve.
Shirley tells her to have a steadfast heart. Just as they agreed to stay friends even when they were split into separate classes, Mai should speak frankly with Santa.
Mai tells Santa, not goodbye, but thank you for everything. Santa says he'll wait for her to graduate.
Mai wins round one when she traps Shirley in a sunroom, which is way too hot and she has to surrender.
But Mai gets told she has to be out of the region by Christmas.
That is, she has to break up with Santa.
Shirley overhears this, and decides to help Mai in secret.
