The episode begins with Hilda staring out into the forest from her new home. She then tells her mother that she is heading out to meet her friends while bringing dozens of p&j sandwiches while her Mum leaves for work. Alfur is now home watching Twig.

After a long day of fun they head to the forest. As they reach the forest, David told her that he can't come with. He has a doctors appointment to attend and Frida had to go home because her grandparents are coming. So Hilda decided go into the woods alone. After exploring she saw a snake flying. As she followed it, she then saw a rock floating in mid air. She looked behind it and saw multiple things floating in mid air. She was curious but then she suddenly stepped in slime. It looked cosmic blue and it was a trail leading towards a cave.

When she got inside she saw something glowing with different colors blue, purple, gold, and white. She then saw the glowing was coming from a jellyfish that was three times bigger than her. It resembled a bluefire jellyfish.

Meanwhile Johanna returned home from her job only to see that Hilda wasn't home. She then decided to calm her mind by doing artwork while Twig and Alfur continued playing a game in Hilda's room. Only Twig was cheating easily.

Meanwhile Hilda slowly approached the beast. It looked sick and shy but Hilda decided to give one of her sandwiches to it. When it ate it it suddenly started to feel better. The jellyfish slowly started to rise off the ground. Hilda wanted to pet it only but suddenly it grabbed her and pulled her deeper into the cave. It covered her mouth preventing her from calling. Just then a voice called out from outside. It was Marra looking for the jellyfish. She was also talking crazy. Hilda started to feel a bit weird as if energy was being transferred into her from the jellyfish. Marra then vanished away.

As soon as she was gone, the Jellyfish flew outside and putting Hilda down but suddenly Hilda started to float off the ground and into the air. She was scared but soon got the hang of it. Hilda then flew around the forest laughing. After a while she flew up above the trees looking at the view. The jellyfish came up with her and then opened a portal. Hilda followed it which the cosmic jellyfish told her incredible stories through her mind.

It were stories of the creature's home before it was destroyed. How its kind was able to use powers to manipulate space and the stars. It travels the cosmos and can create cosmic trails searching for its family. When coming upon her world, it encountered a threat seeking to destroy it (Marra).

Meanwhile Johanna gave up and was about to continue drawing until Hilda came out of a portal to greet her Mum. After Johanna hugged her, she was in gasp as she saw her daughter floating in mid air. Hilda then grabbed her mother and pulled her into the portal. Alfur and Twig didn't notice Johanna getting taken by her daughter and resumed their game. Alfur still didn't know that Twig was winning easily.

The jellyfish came out of the portal with Hilda and Johanna. They ended up back into their previous home which is in the forest. Hilda told her that the creature was friendly and wanted to show her something. The creature fired a nyan ray at Johanna that didn't hurt her. Johanna started to float off the ground just like Hilda. Johanna started to freak out longer than her daughter. Hilda quickly calmed her down before the flashback even started.

Just then coming into the house was Hilda's grandfather. He was with his wife and daughter. Johanna remembered this flashback and was about to cry. As soon as Hilda's grandfather was about to speak, the flashback began to glitch. Something or someone was interfering. Just then Marra appeared and found the creature. Hilda flew in the way between Marra and the Jellyfish.

Soon the memory vanished and a portal sent the four into the forest. Marra then vanished away with the jellyfish. Hilda then followed the Marra's green lights. She tried to fly after her but she and her mother lost the ability granted by the jellyfish. Johanna decided that they should just go home but had no idea that she was lost. At sunset they walked through the trail when they came across a cave and saw green lights coming from inside it. Hilda and her Mum slowly approached the cave to noticed Marra draining the energy from the cosmic jellyfish. The cosmic jellyfish saw them and with all of its energy left it fired a nyan laser at Hilda and her Mum. They both were able to fly again. Hilda told Marra to get away from the creature. She refused and fired green energy blasts at her and Johanna. Hilda realized something and quickly flew to the poor jellyfish. She quickly gave it a piece of her p&j sandwich. Just then Marra blasted Hilda in the shoulder. Johanna screamed in panic. She flew over to her daughter but was blocked by Marra. Just then Marra construct a giant hand which grabbed Johanna. Soon the jellyfish ate the p&j sandwich and was able to regain its strength. Soon Marra was about about to blast Johanna when she noticed a blue light coming from behind her. The jellyfish was much stronger than every. It was still shy but had no choice but to stop Marra. Marra was frightened and try to escape but the jellyfish trapped her in a force-field bubble. The jellyfish's tentacles were charging up with electricity as powerful storm clouds rolled in. Marra was scared and tried to escape. Just then powerful bolts of cosmic lightning came down right on Marra creating a massive electric explosion. Marra didn't die but she quickly vanished.

Meanwhile in the cave, Johanna picked up her wounded daughter and started to cry. Soon the jellyfish came over to her and put it's tentacle on Hilda's forehead. Hilda started to glow and her pain started to heal. When Hilda stopped glowing, she slowly started to open her eyes. Johanna hugged her daughter and Hilda then flew and hugged the jellyfish. Suddenly a storm was approaching. The jellyfish flew out of the cave. Hilda flew behind it with Johanna following. As they flew passed the mountains, they realized that it wasn't a storm. It was the jellyfish's species. Before the jellyfish said it's goodbyes, Hilda hugged it again. Johanna was shy but hugged it as well. Then the jellyfish opened a portal leading to their home. Hilda and her Mum flew into the portal waving goodbye. Soon the jellyfish returned to its family and they flew into the stars.

Later the portal opened and Hilda and Johanna flew out of it before it closed. Suddenly they both fell and knew that their ability to fly was gone for good. Soon both Twig and Alfur gave them a warm greeting and then Johanna knew what was going to be for dinner, pasta with meatballs.

Later that night, Hilda gets out of bed and looks up into the stars to make sure that the jellyfish will remember her. She then saw a colorful comet in the sky before slowly rising off the floor and back down. She smiled knowing that whoever that jellyfish was is still her friend.

Meanwhile in space the little jellyfish reunited with its family and together they flew into the nebula.

Later in the cave that Hilda, Johanna, Marra, and the jellyfish were in, a red eye started to open. Then the episode goes black.
