Back at Hikawa Shrine, Rei, now in her [[miko]] robes, tries to figure out the meaning of the dream, but is unable to feel anything.  She goes outside, picks a fortune from the booth and ties it onto the tree that the egg was embedded into, which is covered in fortune papers. The tree suddenly starts mutating and transforms into a [[Daimon]]: [[Mikuji]]. Rei runs away and tries to transform, but the Daimon is flying too fast; she knocks Rei's [[Star Power Stick]] from her hand, sticks her to a wall, and starts exposing her chest to a black beam. The beam begins to remove Rei's [[Pure Heart Crystal]], and the procedure is painful. Leaving Mikuji to finish the job, Kaolinite disappears.
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Usagi is walking down the street with [[Luna]]. She wants to go on a date with Mamoru, but Luna, exposing her claws, reminds her that she promised to study with the other girls. Suddenly, they hear Rei's screams, and Usagi transforms into [[Sailor Moon]].
 
 
 
Mikuji proves to be too powerful and throws Sailor Moon away with her "hair". The three other girls appear, but get trapped before they manage to transform. Sailor Moon is struggling to stand up when a red rose hits Mikuji, and [[Tuxedo Mask]] reveals his presence. Sailor Moon stands up and uses [[Moon Princess Halation]], but to no effect, and everyone is stunned.
 
 
 
After knocking the [[Cutie Moon Rod]] away, Mikuji pins Sailor Moon against a tree and bites the [[Crystal Star]], sending Sailor Moon into further shock as the [[Silver Crystal]]'s shine goes out, causing her to detransform. Mikuji then shoots rope at Tuxedo Mask, immobilizing him; Luna and [[Artemis]] jump at her, but she easily throws them off.
 
 
 
No longer confronted, Mikuji finally extracts Rei's Heart Crystal from her chest. Usagi, thinking Rei is dead, remembers their last conversation with sorrow.
 
 
 
However, as the Daimon grabs the crystal, she is suddenly struck by two energy balls: one yellow, one blue. The tree reappears, and the Daimon Egg falls out and breaks. Everyone is freed; Rei collapses on the ground, and the girls run to her.
 
 
 
Atop a nearby tree, two [[Sailor Uranus|mysterious]] [[Sailor Neptune|silhouettes]], who are clearly [[Sailor Senshi]] as well, examine the crystal, find out that it is not a talisman, and return it. The crystal flies back into Rei's body, and she awakens, to the girls' surprise and joy. Meanwhile, Luna and Artemis notice the two mysterious figures jumping off the tree and running away.
 
 
 
Back at the lab, Kaolinite tells the professor that the crystal was not a talisman, and furthermore they met some unexpected resistance.
 
 
 
The girls and Tuxedo Mask, standing in a row, feel that this is the beginning of a new battle.

Next Episode: Crystal Clear Again


Rei is having a strange dream. Untransformed, she watches in horror as the world around her, seen in red light, is slowly consumed by a black wave. The four other Inner Senshi stand like red statues in front of her, motionless. A large and elaborate crystal appears behind her, blinding her with its shine. The city is being destroyed, building by building, as the crystal splits into three smaller crystals, then all of them disappear. Eventually, the black wave consumes everything, shattering her statue-like friends into pieces.

Rei wakes up to see Usagi sleeping, which aggravates her. The five girls are all at Rei's house, studying. Usagi wakes up and tells the others her silly dream, after which they lecture her about treating studies seriously. While the others are talking, Rei recalls her dream.

At his laboratory, which is filled with various chemistry equipment, a mad scientist is heating a test tube with some purple liquid inside. A small round object inside it starts growing, and eventually the tube breaks, with a stripped egg emerging from it and flying upwards. The professor's assistant, a red-haired woman whom he identifies as Kaolinite, appears, and he explains their goal: to find the Holy Grail, which will allow them to control the world. For the Grail to appear, they need to find three talismans hidden inside humans' pure hearts. The egg flies out of the lab and Kaolinite disappears, leaving her lab coat behind.

Back at school, Usagi gets upset after failing a test. She walks down the street, looking straight down, thinking what her parents will say when they find out, and wondering why she is always attracted to Rei at such moments. Naturally, Rei is walking towards her in the opposite direction, also looking down, and they collide.

At a fountain, Rei and Usagi put their foreheads under a stream of water to ease the pain. As always, Rei pokes fun at Usagi for her bad marks, but admits that she has other good qualities. Usagi notes that this admission is unusual, and suddenly Rei's dream flashes in her head again. She changes the subject to their plans for the future, and eventually Usagi is convinced that while Rei sometimes says mean things, she has a kind heart.

At Hikawa Shrine, Kaolinite (floating in the air) watches as the egg implants itself into a tree, and says that the person with a pure heart will appear soon. Shortly thereafter, Rei appears.

Usagi is sitting on a street stairway, sighing at her test results and wondering what Mamoru would say about it
