Summary
One of Queen Beryl's youma offers to help Jadeite with his plans. Rei wins tickets on a luxury cruise ship and, since she has no boyfriend, asks Ami to accompany her. A jealous Usagi sneaks aboard after them.
Plot
Jadeite is approached by Thetis, whom he dislikes and does not want to work with, but she says she has the perfect plan to steal energy. They set up a love cruise to steal energy from anyone who goes aboard.
Usagi wants to go on the cruise, and Umino tells her of a contest in which the winner gets two tickets. Rei uses her power to cheat and win the contest. Usagi asks Rei to take her, but she refuses, eventually choosing Ami to go with her instead. Using the Disguise Pen to transform into a photographer, Usagi gets on board the ship before it takes off. However, it is really an illusion by Jadeite and Thetis.
Ami and Rei notice they are the only ones on the ship without dates, so all the guys are taken. Usagi runs into Jadeite, and fawns over him (and he acts nice towards her). Later, Usagi and Luna spy on Jadeite and Thetis, and discover that they are from the Dark Kingdom.
Thetis uses a disco ball to steal energy from everyone, however, it only drains energy from those in love, therefore Ami and Rei are not drained. Jadeite and Thetis reveal their true forms, and the crew members turn out to be water monsters working for Thetis. Rei chops one in two, but this only causes it to multiply. As the water monsters attack Ami and Rei, Usagi transforms into Sailor Moon and confronts Jadeite just as he is about to leave.
Thetis fights Sailor Moon and shoots deadly water from the ocean at her in an attempt to pulverise her. Sailor Mars destroyed the crew members with her Fire Soul attack, and then goes with Sailor Mercury to help Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury used her Sabão Spray attack to confuse Thetis and Sailor Mars used her Fire Soul attack to incapacitate Thetis. The Fire Soul attack gave Sailor Moon the opportunity to finally defeat the youma with her Moon Tiara Magic attack.
The Sailor Senshi demand to know who Jadeite works for and why he steals energy, but he returns to the Dark Kingdom. Meanwhile, the ship returns to the ruins of a ship, and another boat comes to pick up everyone, and they have regained their energy.
Meanwhile, Jadeite has received a transmission from Queen Beryl who chastises him for having another plan foiled, and for the unsuccessful use of her best youma, Thetis. She instructs Jadeite to remain in his quarters until she can think of what to do with him. After the transmission ended, Jadeite vows to get back at Sailor Moon, if only Queen Beryl doesn't do away with him first.
