A Banette who seems determined to steal as many heart-shaped items as possible, including Misty’s new hair tie. After some investigation, our heroes discover the Banette used to be a plush doll with a heart-shaped hair tie, and now it wants to find the little girl who accidentally left it behind. With an old photo as a clue, Brock realizes something—the little girl grew up to become the town’s Nurse Joy! Banette and Nurse Joy have a tearful reunion, and they vow to stay together going forward.
