Everyone has arrived in Crystal Tokyo. ChibiUsa, who is very eager to see her mother, runs off into a fog. The senshi begin to run after her but are stopped by a man walking towards them. He introduces himself as King Endymion, Tuxedo Mask's future self.
Tuxedo Mask recognizes his voice as the voice from his dreams. Endymion tells them that he knew that he and Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask were going to face great challenges, and he had to test their affection for each other to make sure it was strong enough.

He leads everyone into the Crystal Palace where he explains that Usagi will become Neo Queen Serenity in the future. He then reveals a sleeping ChibiUsa and tells Usagi and Mamoru that she is their daughter.

Endymion explains that in the 20th century, the earth was frozen, and Neo Queen Serenity had awoken everyone with the power of the Silver Crystal. All those who were evil, were given a chance to be healed. Those who didn't take that chance, were banished into space, and ended up on planet Nemesis.
The Silver Crystal went missing and Nemesis used this as a chance to attack Crystal Tokyo. Neo Queen Serenity is attacked, but before she is hit, the guardian senshi encase her in quartz and she goes into a deep sleep.

Endymion is cut short by Dimande, who has entered the palace. He hits everyone with an energy blast and kidnaps Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Mask goes after her leaving the others behind. The senshi start to follow him, but Endymion explains that Tuxedo Mask needs to doe this on his own.

Usagi wakes up in a a strange bed, wearing clothes that look similar to Neo Queen Serenity's. She panics, then finds her compact, but is unable to transform.
Dimande enters and explains that she cannot use her powers there. He opens his third eye and begins to hypnotize Usagi into being his one and only.

Fortunately, Tuxedo Mask arrives and attacks him. He manages to grab Usagi, and they escape on a glider back to the Crystal Palace.
From below, Esmeraude watches them escape. Saphir calls her out on the fact that she let them because she's jealous of Dimande's love for the queen. Esmeraude laughs but obviously knows he's right.
Usagi and Tuxedo Mask make it back and resolve to be together no matter what happens. The episode ends there with them embracing one another.

I love this episode because I was finally able to figure out who ChibiUsa was. I always kind of figured she was Usagi and Mamoru's child, but it was nice to have this revealed in an episode

Here is a number that ChibiUsa sings in the Musical (one of my favorites):
