Taking an Examination of Love, Starting with a Deviation Value of 30," Keiichi and Belldandy are tasked with helping their friends Urd and Skuld pass a test on love.

The episode opens with Urd and Skuld discussing their upcoming exam on love. Skuld, the younger sister and goddess of the future, is confident of acing the test with her analytical skills. Urd, on the other hand, the older sister and goddess of love, is worried about flunking, as her approach to love is more spontaneous and intuitive.
