Usagi is devastated that Mamoru has been taken away. Mina takes it upon herself to cheer up her new friend. She starts by taking Usagi to get her hair done. Only problem is the hairstylist, Kariko, and her assistants have been turned into a monster by Kunzite. He has given them a sample of Sailor Moon's hair so they can find the sailor soldier in her human identity. Kariko mistakes Mina for Sailor Moon after she accidentally gets some of Usagi's hair on herself. This leads to a fight between Sailor Moon and a transformed Kariko. Usagi is losing the fight when a red rose is thrown. The rose turns to black and Usagi looks up to see Mamoru. However he has no memory of being Mamoru or Tuxedo Mask - he is Endymion of the Dark Kingdom. While he does help Sailor Moon, he makes it very clear they are enemies and his only interest in the getting the silver crystal.
Usagi and her friends have more run-ins with Kunzite and Endymion, who refuse to work together and go out of their way to thwart each other, as Kunzite tries to defeat Sailor Moon and Endymion tries to take the silver crystal. First is a "princess seminar" run by Countess Rose (who has also been turned into a monster by Kunzite) then a Moon Princess skiing contest run by Saeko (again, who has also been turned into a monster by Kunzite). When Usgai goes up against Saeko, Endymion's rose does briefly turn red but it immediately goes back to black again.
Favorite episode is, of course, "Memories Return! Usagi and Mamoru's Past" but if we ignore that little trilogy of episodes I would pick "Usagi is Confused! Is Tuxedo Mask Evil?" because it shows Usagi's heartbreak, Mina's attempts at being friends with her fellow sailor scouts and assimilating into their group, and an evil Tuxedo Mask.
