The episode begins with Usagi cooking for her family. They are all scared to try the meal she made. She insists that it will be delicious, but takes one bite and it's too spicy.

At the Hikawa Shrine, everyone is gathered, ready to leave to face Queen Beryl. Usagi asks Rei if she got to kiss Yuichiro goodbye. This annoys Rei, but opens a discussion about how everyone would like to have a romance when they return. (even Ami)
They all transform into their Sailor forms.The girls join hands and are told to use Sailor Teleport by Luna and Artemis.
They arrive at the cold D-Point, where the Dark Kingdom's hideout is. Sailor Moon is freezing while Sailor Mercury is trying to locate any signs of the hideout.

In front of them, they see Tuxedo Mask hanging, tied up, and asking for help from Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon rushes to save him, but is stopped by the other senshi. They tell her that it could be a trick. Tuxedo Mask then has vines come out of his chest to attack them and they realize it's not him, but a DD girl.
The vision appears again and foolishly starts to rush to his aid again. Sailor Jupiter starts to attack, but the illusion turns into Motoki and she stops. She is then captured by the DD girls.
She tells Sailor Moon and the other senshi to go on and she will deal with them. They don't move, but watch as she attacks the DD girls with "Supreme Thunder". Sailor Moon rushes up to Sailor Jupiter to help her. Jupiter is trapped in ice, powerless. Sailor Moon tells her that she needs to come down while starting to cry. Jupiter tells her that she needs to cheer up. Sailor Moon says that Jupiter lied when she said she would come home and have a romance. She says "the King of Hell will yank out your tongue". Jupiter dies, leaving Sailor Moon screaming that she can't die.

The other senshi try to get Sailor Moon back together. Sailor Moon says they should just give up and go home. Sailor Mercury slaps her across the face and tells her not to let Jupiter die in vain.
The DD girls show up again, and Sailor Mercury sends the other girls ahead since their powers are stronger and they can protect Usagi.
Sailor Mercury sees an illusion of Ryo Urawa, and is a little happy that she gets to see this illusion too. She is then attacked. She counters it with "Shabon Spray" and surrounds herself for protection. She is confronted by one of the DD girls. Sailor Mercury uses her mini computer to smash the crown on the girl's head, which allows her to perform illusions. Sailor Mercury then dies.

Sailor Moon senses Mercury's death and collapses on the ground, crying. Venus and Mars are saddened, but they tell Sailor Moon she can't fall apart when these things happen.
Sailor Venus sees that Sailor Moon is about to be attacked and pushes her out of the way. Venus is grabbed by the DD girls' vines. Sailor Moon says that she will just hand over the Silver Crystal. Sailor Venus shouts that she will never forgive her if she does that. Venus is dragged underground with the enemy. She uses "Crescent Beam" and destroys a DD girl, but she is also killed.

Sailor Moon and Mars are the only ones left. They are approached by the remaining DD girls, and Sailor Mars says it's her turn to face them. Sailor Moon tries to stop her, but Mars tells her that she needs to live so she can face Beryl. Sailor Moon fights 3 of them, only one comes out alive, but drags Mars' battered body up and talks to Sailor Moon. Sailor Mars has not been all the way defeated yet, and grabs the girl's vine arm. The DD girl looks at her in horror, and Mars cries out "Fire Soul" which then destroys her. Sailor Mars lays on the ice, lifeless.

Sailor Moon is not crying this time, she is too sad. 
She is seen crouching on the ground with a broken heart. She then feels the spirits of her comrades telling her to be brave and keep going. Sailor Moon then resolves to not cry anymore and face Queen Beryl with all the strength she has.

I love this episode because it was a new discovery for me when I watched the Japanese version. There is so much emotion between the senshi. It is an episode that truly displays how much Sailor Moon cares about every one of her friends.

Here is a clip from the 1993 "Gaiden Dark Kingdom Fukkatsu Hen" musical where the senshi battle the Dark Kingdom:

The episode begins with Usagi being very excited about it being her birthday. The other girls act like it's no big deal and tell Usagi not to be late for the study meeting. This leaves Usagi feeling heartbroken because her friends don't care about her birthday.

Usagi goes window shopping to cheer herself up. While shopping, she spots these beautiful glass slippers. She imagines herself as Cinderella and decides that her prince should get them for her for her birthday. 

She finds Mamoru and starts leading him to the slippers saying that she knows the gift he can get for her. Mamoru begins to ask what the gift is for. Usagi tells him to stop playing around. He starts to guess what day it is and never gets it right. Usagi smacks him and runs away. Mamoru stands there wondering what he did wrong.
Usagi runs into Haruka and Michiru. They ask her why she is so upset. She explains that Mamoru didn't remember her birthday, so he is no longer her boyfriend. Haruka then asks if she has a chance with Usagi. Usagi realizes that she is going to be late for the study group and rushes off.
The phone begins to ring at Rei's place. Rei answers it, and it's Mamoru. Mamoru asks why Usagi is so upset with him. Rei tells him it's Usagi's birthday. Mamoru then informs her that Usagi never told him when her birthday was.

When Usagi arrives at the Hikawa Shrine, she realizes that what she did to Mamoru was stupid. She opens the door and the other girls surprise her with confetti and cake! They then begin to give her gifts. Usagi says that she wishes Mamoru had remembered her birthday.
Rei tells her that Mamoru called and said that she never told him when her birthday was. Usagi says that's correct, but since they're in love, he should just know. Rei asks her if she knows when Mamoru's birthday is. Usagi takes a few guesses, but realizes she doesn't know. She then decides that she needs to go apologize immediately.

Mamoru, having purchased the glass shoes, is hoping that Usagi will forgive him. Usagi finds him and runs into his arms asking for his forgiveness. He then kneels down to put the glass shoes on his princess. 
As Usagi puts her foot in the shoe, it begins to transform into a Daimon. The Daimon's name is Cenicienta and has targeted Usagi's pure heart crystal.

Cenicienta backs Usagi up to the wall and knocks her Cosmic Brooch out of her hand, making Usagi unable to transform. Usagi has her heart crystal taken from her, but Tuxedo Mask rescues her and returns it. He and Usagi run and hide from Cenicienta.
Tuxedo Mask tells Usagi to transform into Sailor Moon. Usagi says she would but can't since she doesn't have her brooch.

Kaolinite finds the Cosmic Brooch and realizes Usagi is Sailor Moon. Usagi and Tuxedo Mask witness this from afar. Tuxedo Mask explains that it's not important right now. What's important is preserving her life.
They hide out in a nearby parking garage, but are found by Kaolinite and Cenicienta. They try to attack Usagi, but Tuxedo Mask sacrifices himself to save her and is encased in Cenicienta's glass.
The episode ends with Usagi clinging to the glass Tuxedo Mask.

I like this episode because it's the one episode where someone in the Sailor Moon universe has a birthday. I love how the senshi still have the normal desires to just take a day and celebrate!

Tuxedo Mask/Mamoru-Tohru Furuya (Dub: Vincent Corazza)
PallaPalla-Machiko Toyoshima (Dub:Jennifer Gould)
PeroPero-Tomoko Naka
Pegasus/Helios-Taiki Matsuno (Dub: Robert Bockstael)

The episode begins with ChibiUsa running and thinking about how she wishes that she was grown up. She wishes that she could be older and have someone like Mamoru to kiss. She wonders what Pegasus would think of her as a grown woman.
After doing her homework she decides to go for a walk. Usagi, who hasn't finished hers yet, insists on going with her.

In the park, PallaPalla is doing a puppet show for all the kids, she then attacks them to look for the golden dream mirror. Sailor Moon and ChibiMoon arrive to stop her. PallaPalla overhears them fighting over how they would love to switch ages. So PallaPalla grants their wish and turns Sailor Moon into a kid and ChibiMoon into a grown woman. Sailor Moon tells ChibiMoon to call Pegasus, but Pegasus doesn't come when she does

. 
The Sailor senshi arrive and PallaPalla takes off running. They all realize that something is a little off. 

ChibiUsa goes into her room to try to talk to Pegasus through the Stallion Reve, but he still doesn't respond.
Usagi and ChibiUsa both go over to Mamoru's place, having told Mama Ikuko they were staying at Rei's. Mamoru is very confused by the swap.
Usagi and ChibiUsa are taking a bath and Usagi tells ChibiUsa to go to bed. But ChibiUsa just stands in the mirror and stares at her mature body and wonders what Pegasus would think of her now.
While asleep, ChibiUsa hears Pegasus' voice calling out to her. She runs outside to find him. He offers to show ChibiUsa his world, Elysion. So she gets on his back and flies away. 
She sees that Elysion is barren and Pegasus tells her that his world was attacked by the dead moon who were looking for the Golden Crystal. He then tells her he was captured by them and trapped. He one day saw a light from ChibiUsa's dreams and was able to become a Pegasus and reside within her dreams.

He explains that because she wanted to be a grown up, he couldn't see her light anymore. He told her that it was dark moon power blocking her light and if she keeps it that way, he won't be able to see her anymore.
ChibiUsa begins to cry because she doesn't want that to happen. She begins to run toward Pegasus and turns back into a child. Pegasus walks towards her and leans in for a kiss. When he actually kisses her, he is in his human form. He breaks away and tells her his name is Helios.

ChibiUsa wakes up back to normal, while Usagi just got too big for the pajamas she was wearing.
Back at the park, PallaPalla continues to attack people, looking for the golden dream mirror. The Sailor senshi enter and she is surprised to see that Sailor Moon and ChibiMoon are back to normal. 
She calls on her Lemures, PeroPero. The senshi have a hard time fighting it, then Tuxedo Mask comes in and saves them. Sailor ChibiMoon calls on Pegasus with "Twinkle Yell" and Sailor Moon defeats PeroPero with "Moon Gorgeous Meditation".
PallaPalla teleports away while the senshi are all looking at Pegasus. ChibiMoon wonders if the kiss he gave her was just a dream.

I like this episode because it really hits home the concept of not growing up too fast. You only have once to be young, you only get older.

This clip has episodes 158-160:

Here is a song from the musicals sang by Pegasus, ChibiUsa, Usagi, and Mamoru:

Original Air Date: January 29th, 1994 (Dub: December 14th, 1998)
Cast:
Sailor Moon/Usagi-Kotono Mitsuishi (Dub: Terri Hawkes)

Saphir-Tsutomu Kashiwakura (Dub: Lyon Smith)
King Endymion-Tohru Furuya (Dub: Vincent Corazza)
Esmeraude-Mami Koyama (Dub: Kirsten Bishop)

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):

Ryo Urawa-Shinichirou Ohta (Dub: Eric Kimmel)
Reika Nishimura-Rika Fukami (Dub:Wendy Lyon)
Kunzite-Kazuyuki Sogabe (Dub: Dennnis Akayama)

The episode begins with a scene from South Africa. Motoki's girlfriend, Reika is there on an archaeological project. As she is digging, Endymion appears. He pulls out a dark crystal and traps her inside of it. You then see that he has trapped 4 of the Rainbow Crystal carriers inside the crystal. He then says that he needs to gather 3 more.

That same day in Toko, Ryo Urawa is in town and he decides to give Ami a call. He tells her to turn on the news. When she does, she sees there is a report of the artist, Yumemi, has gone missing. Since Ryo kept some of his psychic powers, he could foresee that the Dark Kingdom was trying to gather the Rainbow Crystal carriers again. Ami asks where he is so that she and the other senshi can protect him. He refuses to tell her cause he doesn't want to put her in danger. He then hangs up. Ami is left on the other line, very worried about him. As Ryo is leaving the pay phone booth, he unknowingly passes Makoto, who realizes that it was him.
In the Dark Kingdom, Kunzite is asking Queen Beryl why they are trying to gather the Rainbow Crystal carriers. Beryl explains that if they do so, they can summon the legendary shadow warrior and defeat the Sailor senshi.
The girls are all gathered at the Hikawa Shrine, and Ami is informing them of Ryo's phone call. Makoto says that Ami should go after him. Ami explains that she has no idea where Ryo. Makoto tells her that she say him downtown. Ami and Makoto then leave the Shrine to look for him, while the other girls stay behind to protect Rei's grandfather.
On the streets of Tokyo, Mamoru has found Ryo. When Ryo sees him, he already know who he is and knows that Mamoru is there to capture him. Ryo then screams out in the crowd. The people walking see Mamoru and crowd him, Ryo uses this to escape.

While looking for Ryo, Makoto tells Ami to cut the crap and admit that she has feeling for Ryo. Ami admits this but says that she doesn't have time for a boyfriend because of schoolwork and being a Sailor senshi. Makoto tells her that Sailor senshi can have fun too. 
They see Ryo across the street. Ami and Makoto follow him through the crowded streets into an alley. Unfortunately, Endymion has found them. Sailor Jupiter tells Mercury to take Ryo somewhere while she fights Endymion. Sailor Jupiter uses "Supreme Thunder" but he dodges it. They then use their hand to hand combat skills. Makoto sees Endymion about to punch her, but he stops and teleports away.

Sailor Jupiter runs into Usagi and Luna who had been looking for her and Sailor Mercury. They notice that the amusement park that is supposed to be closed, has all the lights on. They decide to head that direction.

Sailor Mercury and Ryo are hiding in the amusement park. Sailor Mercury asks why he wanted to come there. He admits that he's always wanted to come there with her on a date. He then tells her to escape and he will sacrifice himself to keep her safe. She tells him that she would miss him too much and it would hurt to have him gone.

Endymion then appears, and attempts to capture Ryo. Sailor Mercury uses "Shabon Spray" but Endymion still manages to trap Ryo in the dark crystal. 
Sailor Mercury demands that Endymion return Ryo. Endymion then turns into Tuxedo Mask to see if Sailor Mercury would still attack him. Mercury knows he's not their friend that they know and love, so she uses "Shabon Spray" again and fogs up his vision. She manages to steal the dark crystal and destroy it, setting Ryo and the other prisoners free.

Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter and Luna arrive. They are all impressed that Sailor Mercury managed to free the prisoners all on her own. Sailor Moon uses "Moon Healing Escalation" on Tuxedo Mask and returns him to normal. Their happiness is cut short when Mamoru disappears back to the Dark Kingdom.
We see Queen Beryl beginning her brainwashing process on Mamoru again. She vows that this time, he will be hers.

The next day, Ami and Ryo go on a date at the amusement park. While they are riding the ferris wheel, the other girls are complaining about having to wait. Makoto encourages them to just be happy for Ami. They all agree and continue to watch the couple from afar

I love this episode cause.....well I pretty much have it memorized. When I was younger, my favorite senshi was Sailor Mercury (she still holds a very special place in my heart), so I researched some of her episodes. I came across this one, but I had never seen it. This was back in 2001 when the internet wasn't quite what it is now. I went to FYE and found a Sailor Moon VHS tape and saw that it had this episode on it. I was ecstatic! So since it was the only Sailor Moon in my possession, I watched the tape over and over again, especially this episode.

Here is "Drive Me Mercury" from the Sailor Moon musical:

The girls are all over at Usagi's house. Usagi is distraught over the loss of Rini and tells them that she had no idea she would miss her so much.
Mama Ikuko comes in and gives everyone tea but is shocked to see that she made tea for ChibiUsa... who she doesn't remember at all.  Luna suspects that with ChibiUsa gone, her mind control over Usagi's family seems to have faded.
On Nemesis, the Dark Moon Kingdom, Wiseman is raving to himself about how soon he will have enough power to free Death Phantom and that Dimande and all the others are just pawns in his great scheme. Saphir overhears this though and teleports to the control room of the Dark Crystal and removes the control chip.Wiseman notices that Saphir was watching and then proceeds to attack him. Saphir manages to escape into the past.

Wiseman tells Dimand and Black Lady that Saphir has betrayed them and tells them to destroy him. Dimande is hesitant as he is his brother but Black Lady volunteers and goes after Saphir.
In the present, Saphir arrives but is badly injured and collapses in the park. Luckily Koan, Berthier, Calaveras and Petz see him and take him to Petz's apartment where they lived.

Petz tends to Saphir while the other three girls give them some privacy. Calaveras tells Koan and Berthier that Petz and Saphir used to be a couple.
While asleep, Saphir remembers how he and Dimande came across a flower a long time ago and Dimande promised to take him to Earth were there were many more.
As he wakes he is surprised to see Petz who tells him how wonderful Earth is. Saphir tells her how much she's changed and that he likes her company.

Eventually though he stands to leave and tell Dimande that Wiseman is not to be trusted before it's too late. Petz is sad and sees him off while the others watch from the other room. Berthier says that they should go help him, but Calaveras reminds her that they don't have their powers anymore and that they'd only get in his way.
Koan then calls Usagi and tells her what's happening.
As Saphir approaches the growing crystal that's beginning to tower over the surrounding buildings, Black Lady appears and is about to kill him but Sailor Moon and the senshi arrive and stop her. Sailor Venus attacks with "Crescent Beam" but Black Lady blocks it. Sailor Mercury uses "Shabon Spray" to give them some shelter. Sailor Moon, Venus, and Mercury are attacked by Black Lady and trapped.
Saphir tells Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars who had been protecting him to go help their friends as he wants to talk to Dimande by himself. Sailor Jupiter and Mars try to free the others but they are also caught.
Tuxedo Mask arrives in time and frees them all.

Saphir begins to tell Dimande the truth about Wiseman, but Wiseman appears and kills him. Wiseman then takes the control chip from his body and then teleports back to the future with Black Lady.

Sailor Moon, who had been kneeling with Tuxedo Mask over Saphir's body is surprised when Dimande walks over and takes Saphir's body with him as he leaves.

Petz, who had sensed Saphir's death, begins to cry and thinks of how happy he was while he was with her.

I love this episode because it brings back the 4 sisters who were once villains. Sailor Moon is now allies with these women since she changed them into normal humans. This is the one time I can remember the series showing us how a once villain now lives as a civilian. It's a story of redemption for the sisters.

Zirconia- Hisako Kyouda (Dub: Rowan Tichenor)

Usagi does not know Fish Eye's identing, but has invited him (who is a cross-dresser, so everyone thinks of him as a girl) into her room since she found him out in the rain. While they are talking, Fish Eye figures out that Usagi is Sailor Moon.
Usagi's mother, Ikuko calls upstairs and asks Usagi to run an errand. Usagi excuses herself and says she will return shortly so that her and Fish Eye can talk about Mamoru. (Fish Eye is interested in Mamoru just fyi)
When she leaves, Fish Eye sees ChibiUsa walking upstairs to her room. Curious, he follows her and over hears her talking to Pegasus through the Stallion Reve. He teleports back to Zirconia, Hawk's Eye, and Tiger's Eye and tells them that he's found the person who has Pegasus in their dreams.

Before revealing who the person is, he asks Zirconia if their spell would be made permanent and they would be able to have dreams like normal humans.
Zirconia reaches out his hand attacks Fish Eye. Tiger's Eye begs Zirconia to stop, so he does. He tells them that he's already figured out who Fish Eye was talking about; Usagi. Fish Eye says that he's got it wrong but Zirconia doesn't listen and sends Hawk's Eye to target Usagi.

Tiger's Eye and Fish Eye teleport to follow him.
Zirconia looks up at 4 mysterious girls (the Amazonness Quartet), and tells them that the Amazon Trio is no longer useful to the Dead Moon Circus. PallaPalla releases a blue ball that rolls and teleports after the trio.
Usagi and the girls are looking for Fish Eye (still not knowing who he really is) They decide to split up.
Usagi goes by herself and is approached by Hawk's Eye who hits on her for a moment then reveals his identity. He straps her to the usual platform and summons her dream mirror.
Before he can look into her dreams, Fish Eye and Tiger's Eye appear. Fish Eye tells him to stop cause he's got the wrong person and that she's Sailor Moon.
This makes Hawk's Eye more curious, and he decides to look into her dream mirror. He's stopped by the arrival of PallaPalla's Lemres.
The Lemres inspects the dream mirror and doesn't find Pegasus. He then attacks the trio saying that he is following Zirconia's orders.
He fires a spade energy blast that spins around and shatters Usagi's dream mirror. Usagi is then collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Fish Eye remembers how Usagi had been so full of dreams and is heartbroken that she has now lost them. The Lemres fires at her but he is too dumbstruck to notice.
Hawk's Eye jumps in front of him and takes the attack right in the chest. He fights back with a fire attack, but it does nothing to the Lemres.

Fish Eye tells Tiger's Eye that they should revive Sailor Moon so she can defeat the Lemres. They use the magic energy orb that had transformed them into humans from animals to repair Usagi's dream mirror. Fish Eye teleports ChibiUsa to them.

Tiger's Eye attacks the Lemres with his whip while Fish Eye tells Usagi and ChibiUsa to transform. They transform as the magic orb shatters. Fish Eye and Tiger's Eye collapse and Usagi realizes that Fish Eye is the "girl" she had up in her room.

Super Sailor ChibiMoon summons Pegasus with "Twinkle Yell" then Sailor Moon attacks with "Moon Gorgeous Meditation"
Super Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus arrive as the trio revert back to being animals.

Pegasus uses his magic to transform them back into human and creates them their own dream mirrors. They awaken and realize they can now have real dreams. They then transform into balls of light and fly away with Pegasus who tells the senshi not to worry about them.

Pegasus leads the trio to a mysterious crystal forest and tells them that they can live there. He hopes that soon life will return to the forest.

I love this episode because it reminds me of how important it is to have dreams. Never stop dreaming, no matter what your circumstances are.

I couldn't find any good clips from this episode to post here. : ( But I did find the awesome song that the Amazon Trio sings in the SuperS musical:
