Episode 20Sailor MoonA Friend in Wolf's Clothing
Jap.24 "Naru-chan's Tears! Nephrite Dies for Love."
This is a defining episode for the Sailor Moon anime as this episode features the first dramatic death of a major character. Sure Jaedite had died previously but his was the typical supervillian kind of death (well sleep actually) that didn't exactly get one's eyes watering.
Over in Nephlite's base, Nephlite has begun to wonder why the Sailor Scouts acted as if they knew Molly and comes to the conclusion that Molly may know who Sailor Moon is. Zoicite is watching Nephlite think out loud and decides to keep a close watch on him from now on.

Molly won't accept Nephlite's fate and attempts to pull the severed roots out of Nephlite's bleeding body. Despite the roots being electrified, Molly's almost able to remove Just then, Sailor Moon, Mercury and Mars appear. Mercury hides them all with her Mercury Bubbles Blast attack (which also disable's one of the creature's red bomb attack) and Sailor Moon and Mars fire off their attacks which combine into a super powerful combo attack and kills all three creatures at once.
Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars all have tears running down their faces. Molly continues to cry.
Monster of the DayInterestingly enough, this episode features three monsters of the day all of which were summoned by Zoicite to kidnap Molly and make life Hell for Nephlite. Each creature (we're not given their names) has their own unique powers. One with the ability to through small red bombs, the other creates distortion waves and the third can form tree roots with her arms and seperate those roots from her body when needed. All three can fly and they were all killed by a Moon Tiara Magic and Mars Fire Ignite combo attack.
