Recalling his previous encounters with the Sailor Senshi, Nephrite decides that Sailor Moon's feelings for Tuxedo Mask are an exploitable weakness. Zoisite appears and tells him that Queen Beryl is calling for him. She scolds Nephrite for his failures, but he assures her that he has a plan to lure out Sailor Moon.
The following morning, Usagi is delighted to find a love letter from Tuxedo Mask has been delivered to her, telling her to meet him in a department store the following night. Luna is concerned that Tuxedo Mask appears to know Sailor Moon's identity, but Usagi is too happy to care... until she finds that all the girls at school have received identical letters. Luna and Ami suspect foul play, while Rei is currently incapacitated with a cold.
Later that day, Nephrite waits in the department store, going over his plan. Naru passes by, and recognises him as Masato Sanjoin. The lovestruck Naru asks if he is Tuxedo Mask. He assumes Naru must know that he sent the letters, and wonders if she is Sailor Moon. He pretends to be interested in her, and tells her to meet him that night. Naru goes away happy, believing that Sanjoin loves her. Meanwhile, Usagi decides to go to the meeting place too, in order to find out what's really happening.
Naru enters the store that night, and sees Nephrite dressed as Tuxedo Mask. She recognises him straight away, so he challenges her to reveal her true identity as Sailor Moon. When she doesn't understand, he starts to take her energy. Usagi enters the store and sees them, then becomes Sailor Moon. This causes Mamoru to collapse in pain, and involuntarily transform into Tuxedo Mask.
Nephrite is disappointed that Naru was not Sailor Moon, but has obtained a lot of energy from her. Sailor Moon confronts him, and he reveals his true identity as Nephrite. He traps her in an illusion and sends a Youma after her, but the real Tuxedo Mask appears and joins the battle. Nephrite and his Youma trap Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask in a lift, will rise to the top floor, then fall. Tuxedo Mask pulls Sailor Moon through the roof of the car, and they grab onto a beam in the lift shaft as the car falls away. Just as Tuxedo Mask is about to slip, Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury come to their rescue. While Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars argue over Tuxedo Mask, the man himself slips away.
Although Nephrite has failed again, Queen Beryl is impressed with the amount of energy he obtained from Naru. He decides to pursue her, further exploiting her love for his alter ego...
