The Midnight Train Crossing

PGSM - Act Thirty-Two

Jupiter is getting struck by lightning as her senshi power wakes dramatically.
Everyone is glad that she finally managed to waken her senshi power, but in doing so, Makoto realized that she is meant to always be alone.
They have learned that the reason that they are they way they are is because of the way they were in their past life... including Mamoru.

In London, Mamoru is pondering who he really is - Chiba Mamoru or Endymion.
Usagi is packing a suitcase, and as she does so, she finds the scarf that she made along time ago, that she intended to give to Mamoru.
She remembers what Luna said, that the love between the Prince and the Princess was ill-fated... Since things have already been decided by their past life, it seems that she and Mamoru were never meant to be together.

Nephrite violently stops Zoisite from playing the piano. Despite everything that Zoisite has tried, Nephrite can't remember a thing from his past life.
He is rather frustrated.
So Zoisite tries plan B, he teleports Mamoru in from London.
All of the shitennou and Mamoru gather in the room, and tension is high.
Kunzite says that it doesn't make a difference if they remember their past lives or not. Either Beryl will control them or Endymion will.
Zoisite thinks that's rather rude - even though Kunzite and Zoisite both clearly remember the scene from the past (previous episode) where they are all fallen under piles or rubble.
Suddenly, Mamoru remembers it too. Which is strange since Endymion wasn't really there...
Zoisite says that they need to work together so that the past life does not repeat, but Kunzite says that by making everyone remember their past life, it will repeat.
Nephrite says that he wants to remember his past life, and they argue.
Jadiete, who is eavesdropping is curious about this. He's never heard of a past life.
As they continue to argue, Mamoru's headache grows worse until finally he tells them all to shut up, with a strange new authority... and he knows all of their names.

He asks why they are so concerned about the past life, and why it makes them so upset.
As Mamoru speaks with more authority, he glows, and just for a moment, is wearing the white outfit that Endymion has been seen wearing in flash backs.

Then the moment passes and Mamoru looks confused. He half-remembered something.
Kunzite asks him if he is going to go back and hide somewhere, and try to forget all about this. If he does, he will life an ordinary life, but if he doesn't... well things will just get worse.

Meawnhile, Motoki is eating curry on rice and talking on the phone. He's trying to find someone who speaks Japanese - he's looking for Mamoru.
Hearing his name, Usagi ask what's going on. Motoki has bad news - Mamoru has gone missing!
And five minutes into the show, we finally reach the theme song.

Rei and Ami are trying to prevent Usagi from running off to London. They try and tell her that even as Sailor Moon, the odds of finding Mamoru by just running around in London aren't very good.
They've called the police, there's nothing more they can do.
Luna-the-cat adds that Usagi can't go look for Mamoru. In fact, she has to stay away from him.

In the Dark Kingdom, Beryl summons Zoisite before her. It is the first time they are in the same room.
She wants to know what he has been up to, and where Mamoru has gone to.
When Zoisite refuses to answer, she gets angrier and angrier and blasts him with dark power until he's unconscious.
This makes Jadiete rather uncomfortable, and he is the one that gets Beryl to stop.

Usagi has a travel magazine. A ticket to London is too expensive for her. As she's sighing, Mio pulls up in her car and offers Usagi a ride.
While they're driving, Mio has gotten out of Usagi that her friend in London has gone missing and she wants to go look for him.
Mio asks if this friend is the guy that Usagi said that she liked... he must be. Usagi wouldn't be trying to get to London for just anyone.

Mio says that she has a way that Usagi could get to London - if Usagi will be the personal assistant to an actor/idol named Yuuto. He's going to be working in London soon, and if she's his assistant, she goes along too.
Usagi agrees to try. Mio gives her one final bit of advice, make sure she doesn't make him mad.

In the bathroom, Usagi uses her cellphone to change her clothes to a more professional looking outfit - she even pulls her hair back.
She silently apologizes to her friends and then heads off to work, quietly chanting to herself: "London. London. London."

Back at Crown, Rei and Ami have filled Makoto in on the story. They all feel bad for Usagi, but they know it's for the best.
On the wall behind Makoto, the mittens that Ami made everyone the previous winter before she turned evil, are proudly displayed.

Meanwhile, Usagi is cleaning up a mess made by the Idol's dog until they are summoned for the filming.
He hands his dog to Usagi and tells her to stay out of the way, since this is a live broadcast.

The show is called Love Confessions and Yuuto is the special guest.
Meanwhile, as Usagi watches the show she suddenly realizes that Yuuto's dog has squirmed out of her arms. He's wandering towards the set - which for some reason has bowling pins set up.
She chases after the dog and catches hold of him. Unfortunately, when she stands up, she's right in front of the camera.
This takes her a few moments to realize. By this point the entire crew is waving at her to get away from the camera. But, instead of doing that, she stands there apologizing for awhile.

Usagi's mother is all excited to see her daughter on TV, and she urges her to say her mother's name. She's proud of her daughter's television debut.

Mio is rather pleased too, from where she is sitting at her make up table.
Minako, who is also there, is not happy. She knows that Mio is up to something.
Mio says that she's just trying to help Usagi get to London.
Minako goes on break (from what?) and hurries away.

Usagi has been pulled away from the camera, but she's still apologizing.
Yuuto calms the director down, takes his dog from Usagi, gives her some money, and sends her out to get dog food.
As she runs down the hall, she skids to a stop before she runs into Minako.
Minako tells Usagi to go home, she'll explain everything to Yuuto, but Usagi says she has to do this, and she rushes off.
Minako sends Artemis off to tell the other senshi what's going on.

Usagi stops at a crosswalk, but looks up when he hears a guy calling a girl an idiot for dropping things. This prompts another flashback, to act twenty-four, when he prevented her from being hit by a car.

Artemis is telling the others what Usagi is up to... and under no circumstances should Usagi and Mamoru get together.

A breathless Usagi made it back with the dog food, and Yuuto tells her that it's time to go catch their plane.
She packs up the dog, and they head out to his car.

Minako runs out and is about to tell Usagi that she can't go, when Mio grabs hold of Minako's arm and tells Usagi to go.
Usagi gets into the car and drives off.

Minako gazed at Mio. She's suddenly figured out who she is...
After Minako leaves, Mio quietly says that Usagi isn't going to London.

Yuuto takes Usagi to the docks, where he informs her that he doesn't feel like going to London anymore... and he throws the plane tickets out into the sea.
Usagi hurries over. She can almost reach them...

Yuuto gets out of the car and the youma that was possessing him - which seemed to be mostly made of knives - steps out of his body. Yuuto collapses, as youma-possesed-people are prone to doing.
Just as Usagi grabs the tickets, the youma grabs her.

The screen goes blurry as the youma nearly suffocates her.
Then, a slash of a sword from off screen makes the youma let her go.
Usagi has been rescued! Not by Tuxedo Kamen, but by Endymion - in all his white-costume glory.

He tells Usagi to pull herself together. She does a double take and wonders if she's dreaming. He maintains a heroic pose while she thinks this.

Then he distracts the youma, telling Usagi to transform.
So she Makes Up. The blonde hair and the short skirt seem to make her more confident.
Endymion quickly resumes his task of calling out "Now!"
And she Moon Twilight Flash-es the youma

Once the youma is gone, Sailor Moon and Endymion stare at each other for awhile before she slowly walks over to him.
He hasn't been missing, he just quietly returned to Japan without telling anyone.
They share a meaningful look.

When Mamoru was still in Zoisite's music room. Kunzite swung his sword at him, but it just harmlessly passed through him.
Mamoru tells Kunzite that he is not going to run anymore.

Mamoru and Usagi watch the sun set. He asks her what she remembers of her past life and she admits she doesn't remember anything.
When she asks, he says he remembers a little. He remembers that their love in the past destroyed the planet, and now they are a threat to anyone who doesn't want the past to repeat.
But he doesn't believe it. He wants to be with her, so he will be.
Then he asks if he can have the scarf that she made him. She starts crying. He can't wear a scarf in the summer.
Mamoru looks confused for a moment and then he pulls her into his arms.

Minako has arrived just in time to see this. Fate cannot be changed.
