Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Saturn confront Queen Nehellenia who tells them that there is nothing she can do to take the curse off of Mamoru and the only way would be to remove the piece of glass from his eye.
Chibi Moon starts to beg Mamoru to come back to normal as she begins to fade from existence. She tells him that he has the same dream as Usagi and that if he doesn't wake up, she will die. Mamoru appears to be struggling with the curse. Saturn tells her to call out to him more. Nehellenia sees this and zaps his eye with more of her magic, which strengthens the curse. Mamoru pushes Chibi Moon away.
Sailor Saturn blocks the magic with "Silent Wall" but it's too late.

Seeing no choice, she tells Nehellenia that she will kill her. Nehellenia laughs and says that Saturn will die too. Saturn knows this, but raises her Silence Glaive. Nehellenia looks at her, shocked, and tries to shield herself.
Sailor Saturn uses "Silent Glaive Surprise" which releases a huge amount of energy and blasts the entire castle. As she drops her Glaive, everything stops.
Nehellenia looks over at them and sees that Chibi Moon stopped Saturn from finishing the attack. Chibi Moon whispers to Saturn not to kill herself and believe in their prince and princess. Chibi Moon then falls to the ground.

Nehellenia takes this time and knocks Saturn's Silence Glaive out of her hand and traps her in a mirror.
Usagi then arrives, having made her way through the thorns. She runs to Chibi Moon who is fading away. She holds her but it's too late. Chibi Moon fades away, then Usagi begins to cry.

Back in Tokyo, Artemis tells Luna and Diana that the people affected by the curse are now trapped in their own mirrors.
Usagi demands to know what Chibi Moon did to Nehellenia. Nehellenia tells her that she wants revenge on her for sealing her away and for taking her mirror away. She then goes on to explain that while she had loyal subjects in her kingdom, she had no real friends. The mirror and her beauty were her only companions. Since her mirror was taken away, she is now all alone.
Usagi tells her to take her revenge on her but leave her friends alone. Usagi says they would understand and be her new friends when she is gone. Nehellenia strangles Usagi. Usagi looks at her with sad, teary eyes. Nehellenia yells at her to stop looking at her like that and throws her against the wall.

Usagi stands up and closes her eyes and senses all the senshi feeling for Nehellenia. Suddenly, Mamoru's eye begins to glow and the shard of mirror removes itself and shatters, which frees him. All the mirrors holding the senshi also shatter and they all appear in a circle around Nehellenia. Mamoru stands up as Chibi Moon appears next to him.

Sailor Mars tells Usagi that they all know what to do. They all hold hands.
Nehellenia becomes furious and blasts them all with her lightning. While she's attacking, Mamoru transforms into Endymion. Usagi then transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and extends her Eternal Tier.

All the senshi focus their energy. Sailor Moon asks Nehellenia to concentrate on her true dream. Nehellenia begins to cry and remembers that she had always wanted friends and a lover who would understand her.
Pink energy goes up to the Moon, finishing the eclipse and making a New Moon. Nehellenia fades away to start her life over.The mirror that had corrupted her life, shatters.
She wakes up as a young girl on her throne. Her kingdom and subjects have been reborn. She says she's sleepy and asks if someone could read her a story. A woman says that she would love to. Little Nehellania smiles.
On Earth, Mamoru says that Nehellenia's life is now truly starting. Sailor Moon gives Jupiter back her rose earring and thanks her.
Above Earth, the evil voice that had awakened Nehellania laughs evilly.

(Couldn't find a good clip for this episode, sorry!)

This episode is one of my favorites because it is the first time you see all the senshi fighting together. It is also the last episode that ChibiUsas/Sailor Chibi Moon appears in, other than flashbacks or dream sequences.

At school the girls are talking about all the break ins that have been happening lately. Usagi begins to freak because her whole family is out of town this week and she has been left alone at her house.
Seiya overhears this conversation and offers to come over and keep her company. Usagi is very happy to accept his offer. Although, the other girls assume that Seiya is using the situation to his advantage.
That night, Usagi is cleaning up the house with Luna before Seiya gets there. Luna tells Usagi to not let her guard down.
The doorbell rings. Usagi runs to answer it but trips an falls over. Seiya opens the door and finds Usagi lying on the floor.
In Usagi's room, Seiya tells Usagi that he has something to tell her and reaches for his Sailor Change Star. Usagi assumes that he's trying to tell her that he loves her, so she backs away.
Chibi Chibi appears and throws a piece of cake in Seiya's face. Seiya goes to have a shower and thinks to himself that he's missed his chance to tell Usagi who he is.
While he's in the shower, Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Artemis arrive. As Usagi opens the door, Seiya comes walking out of the shower with a very small towel wrapped around his waist. Chibi Chibi runs up to him and begins pulling on the towel claiming it's hers. All the girls halfway cover their eyes as Seiya runs away.

Later on, the all cook dinner in the kitchen, but they stop what they're doing when they see a cockroach. Seiya goes to hit it with a slipper but it flies at them and they all scream.

The doorbell rings, and Taiki and Yaten enter to see them all covered in food.
.After they clean up, they all sit down to play a game of cards.
Nearby, Haruka and Michiru are driving in their car when Haruka's car breaks down. They see that they're close to Usagi's house and decide to stop by for a visit. Usagi is happy to see them both, but when Haruka and Seiya see each other, there is tension.

They all sit down and Haruka and Seiya begin to argue. Suddenly the doorbell rings. Usagi goes to answer it and is surprised to see a TV crew outside who have heard the Three Lights are there and want to do a show about what they're eating for dinner. (It's pizza since the first dinner attempt didn't work out)
Usagi tells Minako to keep them busy while they all hide Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten. Usagi takes Seiya upstairs and together with Chibi Chibi, they cram into a cupboard. Seiya tries to tell Usagi who he is one more time, but Usagi calls him perverted since she thinks he's putting the moves on her.
They hear screaming. Usagi runs downstairs to see what's going on. Sailor Lead Crow and Aluminum Siren have invaded the house and knocked out the TV crew, stuck Minako to the wall and targeted the manager. Usagi runs around the house looking for a place to transform but keeps running into everyone else who is still hiding.
.She eventually goes to the attic and is able to transform into Eternal Sailor Moon.

Downstairs, Sailor Uranus and Neptune have transformed. Aluminum Siren sees the pink petals that are the signature of the 2 senshi and comments on how pretty the petals are. She then tells them how rude they are for wearing shoes on the dinner table then escapes with Lead Crow.

The Manager transforms into Sailor Sommelier. Neptune attacks him with "Deep Submerge" but he just swallows it.
Eternal Sailor Moon goes back downstairs and confronts the Phage, but keeps breaking things with her wings. She attacks him with a pizza version of "Moon Tiara Action" to distract him from a distance.
Sailor Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter then also arrive as well as Star Maker, Healer, and Fighter. Minako is still trapped on the wall.

Sailor Moon uses "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss" and heals the Phage.
Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and the Sailor Starlights decide to leave. Seiya returns later though.
Much later on, after having cleaned the entire house, the girls, Usagi and Seiya hear something in the house. They all think it could be the robber they had heard about, and go to look. They see someone in the hallway, and they imagine it's a monster. They all dive onto it, but are surprised to see it's only Chibi Chibi who's just eating cake. Usagi gets upset cause now she has to clean up again.

I love this episode because it is light hearted and shows how confusing a battle can get when you contain it in one house. This is a good episode for me too, cause I've actually met Kikuko Inoue who performed the voice of Sailor Aluminum Siren.

This is the final episode of the Sailor Moon anime.

Sailor Chibi Chibi is floating above ground sending out waves of energy to Sailor Moon. The Silver Crystal hovers over Sailor Moon and slowly returns to her body.
Sailor Moon finds herself floating in space, and a shadowed figure is in front of her explaining that Sailor Moon must use the light of hope to light up the galaxy one more.
None of Sailor Moon's long-time comrades are fighting with her. She is accompanied by Sailor Star Fighter, Star Maker, and Star Healer.
I am not going to go into details with this episode as it is the last one, and I know lots of people haven't seen it. But here it is so that you can watch it:

This episode is one of my favorites, because it shows how much strength is in Usagi's love. She can warm even the coldest of hearts.

Here is "La Moon" from The Sailor Stars musical:
