In Strike Witches season 1 episode 3, titled "You're Not Alone", we are introduced to a familiar face from Yoshika's past. The episode starts with Yoshika dreaming about a time when she was a child and her father was still alive. She is awoken by a commotion outside her room and finds out that the base is under attack by the Neuroi. The Witches are called to action, but Yoshika is hesitant to join them as she still struggles with her fear of heights and flying.
Meanwhile, a new Witch named Perrine is introduced. She is sent to the base by the French Army to aid in the fight against the Neuroi. However, her arrogant attitude and lack of teamwork quickly make her unpopular among the other Witches.
As the fight against the Neuroi intensifies, Yoshika is forced to face her fears and help her fellow Witches. During the battle, she spots a familiar face among the refugees - a young girl named Lynne who was friends with Yoshika's father. The two reunite and Lynne tells Yoshika that her father saved her life during an attack by the Neuroi.
Yoshika and Lynne bond over shared memories of her father, and Lynne encourages Yoshika to keep fighting and not give up. Inspired by her friend's words, Yoshika channels her emotions into her magic, and her powers become stronger than ever before. Together with the other Witches, they are able to defeat the Neuroi and save the base.
In the end, Perrine realizes the importance of working together and begins to respect the other Witches. Yoshika also gains a newfound confidence in herself and her abilities, thanks to the support of her friends. The episode ends on a positive note, with the Witches ready to face whatever challenges come their way.
