Because Pretty Cure is a weekly kids show and extremely marketable. I watched an episode while I was over in Japan (Don't judge me; sometimes I want to watch Sunday morning cartoons) and everything in the ad break was something branded with Pretty Cure: Sweets, toys, more sweets, different toys. Why cancel a franchise that makes so much money?

Yea pretty much. TOEI are kings of marketing. Most of the things they do are long running series that are incredibly popular. Though right now Toriko isn't quite as popular and I believe will be ending soon and replaced with more Dragonball Kai.

Does Lucy die? Who's at the door? What about Bando? The anime gives no clear indication of what's to happen to them.
I admit there were still a lot of cliffhangers and it sure as hell needs a season 2. But the way it ended wasn't that bad. Especially if you put some thoughts of your own into it.

Like the fact that Lucy survived and she was the person behind the door. However, I do admit that some stuff like what happened to Bando and the head CEO who was revealed to have horns. Those are stuff that bother me but I suppose they'll just have to be put aside.

Season 2 is a nogo, they buthcered it enough... just please.... leave it be

The stuff with the CEO is explained more clearly in the Manga, the show just glances over it, and as for the door, how do you know it Lucy? it doesn't say so (although it's implied and is probably right from what i remember, has been a few years since i read the manga)
______________
On a side note, Rozen Maiden Season 3 is to be released next year :D
I wonder where it will follow on from, where Traumed left off, or the original show, will be mostly new to me as i only own Vol 1 - 5 of the manga, as the following volumes double up in price.
6 - $25
7 - $50
8 - $100

Well ask yourself who else could it be. I don't see anyone else who would appear in front of their door and it wouldn't make sense if it was a stranger. The figure behind the door has a female form. Plus it is quite possible that Lucy survived since we only saw her other horn getting ripped and soldiers are still shooting at her after that. That would also perhaps explain why Nanna didn't sense her. Eitherway, while it's mysterious, it doesn't take that much thought. Really, it was a good ending along with the clock working and all, plus, none of the main characters died which is a plus for me.
Also I really don't want a Season 2. The ending was great as it was, even with the few plot holes.

Was it a Wolfrun or Majorina episode?

I was going to mention this a few days ago but thought no one would care as usual.
Really glad it's getting a third season.

They did what they could with the ending, so credits to them, as long as it stays where it is then i'm happy.

Thinking about it i'm not sure if it's either A) Lucy injured as you said B) The dorky female lab assistant who was with Kouta/the Teachers lab assistant.
I should really have another read through but having sent my tablet back & the auto rotation on my phone annoying me, i don't have a suitable reader.

You're going to have to elaborate.

There are 4 main villains in the current precure (which I assume is the one you watched), Wolfrun (a wolf guy), Majorina (a witch), Akuoni (a red ogre) and Joker. Wolfrun is the best but Majorina's episodes are usually pretty fun, but Akuoni's are nearly all shit and he's a terrible character. Joker rarely shows up to be worth mentioning (he's the 2nd best though).
