Suna is extremely excited to receive her package, but when she opens it, she is disappointed to find only a small toy inside. However, Jett tells her that the toy is actually a magic bead that can grant her wishes.
Suna tries making a few small wishes, but they don't seem to come true. That is, until she accidentally drops the bead and it begins to grow and expand into a giant bead.

The team also learns about the Haenyeo culture, where women divers collect seafood without the use of modern diving equipment.
Finally, the Super Wings team arrives at the giant's mountain home. They help the giant settle into its cave and say goodbye to Suna and her friends. Suna is sad to see the giant go, but she understands that it's important for the giant to return to its home in the mountains.
