The 153rd overall entry and 26th of the SuperS season plays on a shared childhood dread, sending Usagi and Chibiusa into a dental clinic that turns out to be a trap set by PallaPalla in her hunt for Pegasus.
Summary
Both Usagi and Chibiusa share a real fear of the dentist's chair, a phobia the episode plays for comedy before turning it sinister. A trip for a checkup lands the two of them inside a clinic rigged by PallaPalla, whose true aim is to draw out the dream mirror that hides Pegasus.
Key Events
With both girls captured by PallaPalla's Lemures, the spotlight shifts to Tuxedo Mask, who becomes the episode's central rescuer rather than Super Sailor Moon or Super Sailor Chibi Moon. PallaPalla comes closer than usual to her goal, since Chibiusa carries Pegasus, and she is on the verge of extracting the girl's dream mirror when Mamoru intervenes to stop her and pull both captives free.
Notes
The story adapts the manga side chapter about cavities, where none of the antagonists belonged to the Dead Moon Circus, a villain named Resin refurbished the old neighborhood dental office, and Kenji joined the girls in place of Mamoru while Minako tagged along hoping to meet the young dentist. The GariGari monster serves as the threat here. Sailor Moon performs Supersonic Waves for the second and final time, and for the first time she does so alongside Sailor Chibi Moon.
