Where we last left Usagi, Mamoru, Chibi-Usa and Minako, they met Chibi-Usa's dad King Endymion in the Crystal Palace. Usagi notices he has no reflection, he explains that his spirit left his body which is resting in a safe place and he is the future Mamoru. Chibi-Usa introduces herself as the Princess of the silver millennium. Diana says Endymion protected her. Usagi and Mamoru freak out at the news that Chibi-Usa is their daughter and that Usagi is queen. Endymon explains an explosion occurred, the queen stuck in a crystal protected by the Guardians (same outfits). Diana presents herself to Luna an Artemis as their daughter, which freaks out. King explains aging halts after adult hood, Serenity at age 22 gave birth to Chibi-Usa and it stayed that same. The Silver Crystal gives eternal long life. Sailor Moon took over in the 21st century.

Demande pictures Usagi as the Queen. His black moon changes to an eye and hypnotizes Usagi and puts her in a bubble. he next ep is called Complication - Nemesis.

 

Review:

At least the King didn't just let his daughter wonder off like the first Anime. Also Esmeraude as a dragon was sort of skipped. Interesting episode, much like the original Anime but with slight changes in timing and addition of characters like Rebeus and Diana. Also I liked the handshake between Sailor Moon and Pluto.
