I Love Idols: Mimete's Dilemma

Word spreads that Jinta Araki, an eighteen-year-old idol, is casting a female lead for his upcoming summer film, and both Minako and the Death Busters' Mimete have adored him for years. The two show up to compete for the coveted part. Mimete wants it so badly that she resolves to walk away from the Death Busters entirely should she manage to win.

When the audition ends in rejection, a furious Mimete rounds on Araki and the watching crowd with her daimon U-Tahime. The monster proves hopelessly inept, blanking on its own techniques, which lets Sailor Moon cleanse it using Rainbow Moon Heartache. Mimete lunges for Araki's exposed pure heart, but Sailor Venus lashes her arm aside with the Venus Love-Me Chain and drives her off. Back at base she laments how narrowly the prize slipped away, and Professor Tomoe promises more chances to seize a heart crystal.

The episode lays Mimete's misgivings about her place bare as she wrestles with life among the Death Busters. Tomoe starts to notice that her victims are all famous figures, while the Outer Guardians, watching from a distance, first suspect the enemy may be gathering pure hearts because a messiah of their own already exists, though its identity eludes them. A small gag places a patched sign reading Witches 4 over the lab's Witches 5 door, nodding to Eudial's recent death, and the Cloverway dub has Mimete summon her daimon with the Price is Right catchphrase Come on down.
