Today's Sailor Moon Crystal was yet another (semi) faithful adaptation of Act 6 in the manga series, this time focusing on Tuxedo Mask's ambition to obtain the Silver Crystal, even at the cost of masquerading as a criminal and making himself known to the public. However, his plan backfires, as the third of the Heavenly Kings - Zoicite - has plans of his own to speed up the plan Tuxedo Mask had in motion. Disguising himself as a woman, Zoicite infiltrates a TV network station, transmitting hypnotic energy through the satellite in order to brainwash every civilian in Tokyo to search for the Silver Crystal.
Catching on quickly to the plan, Luna summons the Sailor Senshi to the "basement" of the Crown arcade, growing en more suspicious of Tuxedo Mask's actions. Sailor Moon objects to the possibility and runs away, leaving the other Sailors to fight Zoicite at the rooftop of the network station. During the battle, Queen Beryl makes a personal appearance before the heroes, and easily immobilizes them.
Meanwhile, Sailor Moon wanders the streets in anxiety, torn between her duty as a leader and wanting to trust Tuxedo Mask. At that moment, Tuxedo Mask appears before him, fully aware she and Usagi Tsukino are one and the same person and encouraging her to help her friends fight Queen Beryl. Tuxedo Mask's words were more than enough to give her the strength to fight, causing her to do amazing physical feats such as vaulting to the roof of the building. At that moment, she unleashed the power of Luna's Moon Stick and used Moon Healing Escalation to defeat Zoicite and restore the people of Tokyo back to sanity.
However, using the technique exhausted Sailor Moon, and the next thing she knew, she woke up in the residence of Mamoru Chiba, who willingly reveals himself to be Tuxedo Mask.
