A plan of Jadeite's to steal energy though sound waves is accidentally foiled at a music studio when a tape with the energy stealing sound is mistaken for someone else's work. This story is actually slightly different because no one's energy is being stolen, instead the monster Kurene spends the entire episode trying to get the tape back only to be defeated in the end by Sailor Moon
Then Usagi and Naru decide to become superstars, but things don't go as planned and fighting between them causes Naru to team up with Umino instead and Usagi to strike out on her own. The Cinderella Caravan comes to town looking for new future superstars, but it's actually a lie. The Caravan tells everyone that they are future superstars but in actuality it is a plot to steal energy. Here Usagi faces off against Derela to stop her and save everyone.
After this Usagi finally gets some help. She meets Ami Mizuno, a genius at her school, who Luna thinks is the enemy. However, Ami is actually Sailor Mercury and after Luna helps her transform for the first time she helps Usagi defeat a teacher at her cram school who is actually the monster Garoben.
Ami and Usagi have one more mission alone together. Clocks at a store are causing people to rush around, convinced they are late for everything. These clocks are actually stealing their energy. Usagi and her family fall under their spell, and Ami must help Usagi stop the monster Ramua.
Finally something is going on at the Hikawa Shrine. People who leave by the 6 o'clock bus are disappearing. Shrine Maiden Rei Hino, who is psychic, is trying to figure out what is going on since people are blaming her grandfather, but she is having a hard time with her ability right now. Ami and Usagi observe the bus disappear into a black hole. The next day Usagi gets on the bus, trying to stop it from disappearing. Meanwhile, Rei realizes that her grandfather's new helper (who is actually Jadeite) is the source of the evil. Rei and Usagi fight the monster Kigaan and Rei, transformed as Sailor Mars, defeats her.
Which episode was my favorite? It is a toss up between "Is the Genius Girl a Monster? Brainwashing School of Terror" and "Cursed Buses! Fire Warrior Mars Appears." Both have good story lines and both see a new Sailor Soldier introduced to the group. If I have to pick between the two of them then Mars wins because she is my favorite.
