Back at the hospital, Makoto lies next to Shinozaki with IVs connecting them. Usagi and Ami reassure Makoto that they'll stay with her for a while and Ami asks who Shinozaki is. Makoto describes him as someone special that is always there for her. In a flashback, Makoto and a boy, identified as [[Makoto's sempai|her boyfriend]] at the time, stand in a gazebo on a rainy day. He breaks up with her, despite her objections, and runs off into the rain. Shinozaki appears and puts an umbrella over Makoto. Makoto goes on to say that he's been there for her in difficult moments since she was little. Usagi assumes they must be in love. Makoto denies it, saying that their relationship may be more important than just lovers.

Later, at Usagi's house, [[Luna]] tells her that the [[Sailor Senshi]] will meet the next day at [[Hikawa Shrine]] to talk about the Cardian sighting.

Late as usual, Usagi rushes to the meeting, but on the way sees An and Mamoru standing in her path. An is trying to get Mamoru to take her on a date when Usagi butts in. She starts to tell Mamoru the story of their past lives, using the pictures she drew. An interrupts her just as she's finishing, and makes fun of her for being juvenile, and then they realize that Mamoru has slipped away while they were arguing. An runs after him, but Usagi stays back, feeling disappointed. Suddenly, Ail shows up with red [[rose]]s and pronounces his love for Usagi. She's flattered but drops her drawings, becomes flustered, and runs off. This just makes Ail more determined to woo her.

Back at the Shrine, [[Rei Hino|Rei]] conducts a fire reading. They see a vision of Falion in the fire, and Rei determines that she's looking for her next victim. Usagi finally arrives while the other four Senshi are rushing out in their uniforms. They tell her to hurry and transform but won't explain why, and Usagi transforms after some pouting. As they run toward the Cardian's location, however, [[Sailor Jupiter]] almost faints. [[Sailor Moon]] becomes very concerned, but Sailor Jupiter convinces Sailor Moon that she needs to get revenge for Shinozaki.

When the Senshi arrive they find that Falion is just about to attack a couple in a park. Sailor Jupiter attempts to use [[Supreme Thunder]] and is knocked out by an energy attack from Falion.

Finally [[Sailor Venus]] aims her [[Crescent Beam]], but before her attack can be released Falion blasts Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, and [[Sailor Mercury]]. Sailor Moon manages to dodge Falion's next attack and suddenly sees a white rose strike the ground. The [[Moonlight Knight]] appears in a tree for the first time and introduces himself. Falion tries to attack him, but he dodges quickly and destroys her energy wheel. He tells Sailor Moon he looks forward to talking with her in future, and disappears.

Summary

Usagi and Makoto meet Ami outside her cram school to ask about what will be on their test the following day. As Ami chides them for being irresponsible the Cardian Falion appears down the hill from them. Makoto approaches and immediately recognizes the Cardian's victim as Shinozaki before she is attacked by the Cardian in turn. Shinozaki manages to knock Makoto out of the way just in time, but goes flying over the edge of the hill. Falion disappears, and Makoto rushes down to find an injured and unconscious Shinozaki. An ambulance takes them to the hospital, but they run out of type O blood to give him, so Makoto volunteers to give hers.

Meanwhile, at Ail and An's apartment, Ail summons Falion with his flute, and the energy she has stolen rejuvenates the Makaiju. Ail puts Falion back into her card, and the two aliens discuss their victory and the care they should take in keeping their existence on earth secret. They kiss.

Makoto describes him as someone special that is always there for her. In a flashback, Makoto and a boy, identified as her boyfriend at the time, stand in a gazebo on a rainy day. He breaks up with her, despite her objections, and runs off into the rain. Shinozaki appears and puts an umbrella over Makoto. Makoto goes on to say that he's been there for her in difficult moments since she was little. Usagi assumes they must be in love. Makoto denies it, saying that their relationship may be more important than just lovers.

Later, at Usagi's house, Luna tells her that the Sailor Senshi will meet the next day at Hikawa Shrine to talk about the Cardian sighting. Usagi, however, is too busy drawing pictures of Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion in a plan to restore Mamoru's memory to really pay attention.

The next day at Hikawa Shrine, Luna, Artemis, and the Senshi discuss the new evil that has arisen and is targeting human energy. Ami speculates that it may be related to the meteor event a week ago. Makoto also mentions that Shinozaki is still bedridden.

Late as usual, Usagi rushes to the meeting, but on the way sees Natsumi and Mamoru standing in her path. Natsumi is trying to get Mamoru to take her on a date when Usagi butts in.
