   You know, it’s kinda hard to build up suspense when the title tells you   
   how it ends.   
      
   In a long self-congratulatory ramble, before which he really should have   
   locked the door, Wiseman reveals himself to be Death Phantom (not that   
   that really means anything), and that he is playing Dimande for his own   
   ends, namely destroying all life.   
      
   Saphir hears this (see the locked door comment above), and takes action,   
   stealing the control key to the reactor.  Wiseman blasts him, but he   
   still escapes to the past to warn his brother.  The four sisters find   
   him injured, and Petz takes him in to heal him, and it’s revealed that   
   she’s long harbored a crush on the man, but he’s been so wrapped with   
   his brother that he’s never noticed.   
      
   Meanwhile, the Senshi sit around, Ami and Makoto together, but separated   
   by Luna.  Rei drops all the pretenses as she comforts Usagi.  This is   
   the first time that we’ve seen most of the girls in the same room as   
   Ikuko-mama, but clearly she’s met them before.   
      
   Saphir decides to try going to Dimande alone to talk to him.  Petz lets   
   him, since they no longer have the power to help, but Koan is a bit   
   smarter, calling Usagi and asking for some help.   
      
   Much like Endymion, as soon as Chibi-Usa went evil, she started kicking   
   ass at a level she never really achieves while fighting on the side of good.   
      
   The Senshi keep Black Lady from killing Saphir, giving him time to talk   
   to Dimande before Wiseman intervenes and blasts him.   
      
   As Saphir dies, his bandage falls away, and his Black Moon mark is gone.   
     In the end, he needs no magical healing to reject the darkness.  It’s   
   not too surprising.  He was never doing what he did out of anger or   
   hatred, he was doing it for love of his brother.
