Synopsis

The Scouts burst into the apartment in time to see Serena and Darien being drained by the Doom Tree. The Tree sprays liquid at them, but Mercury freezes the pods. The Tree releases them. Alan rushes to Serena's side, while Ann goes to Darien. The Scouts warn them away and they attack. Serena turns to Sailor Moon. She cradles Darien, enraging Ann. Ann blasts them, demanding Sailor Moon renounce Darien. She refuses and is blasted again and again. Sailor Moon pleads with Ann to stop being cruel. Alan begins to realize the feeling he had was friendship, but Ann is blinded by jealousy. Alan realizes what Sailor Moon feels for Darien is true love. He tries to stop Ann. The Scouts join in and try to talk her down. The Moonlight Knight appears and joins the appeal. She blasts the Knight. The Doom Tree's tendrils begin attacking Ann. Alan tries to protect her. A pointed limb jabs at Alan, but Ann shoves him aside and takes it herself. As she lies dying, the Tree vocalizes its grief. The Tree explains how their native planet was destroyed by war, but she escaped into space with Ann and Alan. She cared for them, growing weaker in the process. They tried to revive her with energy, but it was the wrong kind of energy. She needed the intense warmth of love energy, the type exuded by Sailor Moon- - and by what Ann and Alan felt for each other. Once they realized their true feelings, The Doom Tree fully revived. She asks Sailor Moon to purify the negative energy she's contaminated with. Moonlight Knight appears again and seconds the request. He pulls down his veil, revealing Darien's face. He explains that he's the psychic personification of Darien's repressed love for her and need to protect her. Now that Darien remembers, he fades away. Sailor Moon complies with the tree. Rejuvenated, the Tree heals Ann. She and Alan take a twig from the Tree and agree to raise it on a new planet with the energy of their love.
