I agree (and said so further down in the comments myself) that here the fanservice is misplaced.

This is more specualtion about how the situation might continue from here on out.

I was more thinking of Lucy jumping out of the bathtub and then using Star Dress, but I have to say, Lucy transforming inside the tub and then sitting there in a soaked dress does sound rather hilarious... which would totally undercut the seriousness of the situation, so would be a bad choice here, but a nice idea for later down the road. ^^
