Ataru rushes to save Lum from a fall, leading to an emotional and literal rift. Despite everything, it's clear that Ataru and Lum deeply care for each other. However, misunderstandings and denials prevent them from resolving their issues. Ataru feels hurt and betrayed by a false Lum, while Lum interprets his reaction as a breach of trust. The situation escalates when Ataru decides to settle for Carla, angering Rupa.

The Moroboshi household descends into chaos as it is overrun by the rescue squad, Carla, and other characters like Sakura, Shinobu, Inaba, Cherry, and the Kotatsu cat. Despite the lively scene, Lum's absence is strongly felt. Sakura has a vision of Lum and Earth being consumed by darkness mushrooms, provided by Carla for the hot pot. These mushrooms grow uncontrollably in light and warmth, posing a global threat.

Rei attempts to eat the mushrooms but fails, as they release spores and grow too large. The solution lies with Rupa and his flying pigs, which can quickly devour the mushrooms. However, the bitterness between Carla and Ataru, as well as Rupa and Lum, prevents them from cooperating.

Finally, Rupa sends his pigs to eliminate the mushrooms. Lum appears as a giant holographic projection and challenges Ataru to a game of tag, reminiscent of their first meeting. She hints that a love confession from Ataru might make her easier to catch, but Ataru stubbornly refuses, leaving their relationship unresolved for the time being.
