A Friend In Wolf's Clothing is the twentieth episode of the English dub of the anime series Sailor Moon.
Synopsis
Despite all her efforts, Serena (voiced by Terri Hawkes) cannot get Molly (Mary Long) to forget Neflyte (Kevin Lund), who she has fallen in love with. Meanwhile, Neflyte wonders why the black crystal reacts to Molly and thinks she might actually possess the imperial silver crystal inside her body. Meanwhile, Zoycite (Kirsten Bishop) sends three minions to destroy Neflyte. One night, while she sleeps, Neflyte appears at Molly's window and tells her the whole truth but claims that he wants to switch sides and help Sailor Moon. When Molly tells him she doesn’t know Sailor Moon's true identity, he pretends to leave. Neflyte overhears Molly calling Serena and realizes that Serena may have something to do with Sailor Moon. Serena and Luna come running towards Molly’s house realizing she is in trouble but Neflyte causes the road to warp and she transforms into Sailor Moon. Neflyte then appears and tells Sailor Moon that he watched her transform. He attempts to destroy her but Tuxedo Mask (Toby Proctor) prevents it. In the meantime, Molly has been kidnapped by the three monsters sent by Zoycite but Neflyte rescues her and they flee to a local park. There, they are attacked, leaving Neflyte badly injured. Zoycite steals the black crystal and the monsters are about to kill Neflyte and Molly when Sailor Moon and the others appear and destroy the monsters. Neflyte apologizes to Molly, tells Sailor Moon that her identity will remain a secret and dies in Molly's arms.
Notes
- The original Japanese title for this episode is Naru-chan Cries in Mourning! Nephrite Dies for Love.
- During the series' run on Network Ten in Australia, this episode was skipped due to Neflyte's violent death scene. Interestingly, when the scene was replayed as a flashback in The Power Of Friendship, it was left intact.
