History Recap / SailorMoonEp07UsagiLearnsHerLessonBecomingAStarIsHardWork

-->'''Derella (Viz Dub):'' So you've seen the truth

-->'''Derella:''' Oh no. You found me.

* TookALevelinKindness: Despite making a crack at how Usagi is planning to perform a comedy act, Mamoru is actually quite polite to Usagi for once, even smiling for the first time upon meeting and seeing her off.

Usagi and Naru get taken in when a local teen pop idol holds a talent show. They try to perform a routine, only for the girls to fall out when they trip on each other's feet. Unknown to either, a youma has encased the pop idol within a shower full of ice and impersonated her. Luna realizes that something is wrong as Usagi mopes about losing her chance to become a star.

* ApatheticCitizens: Given that Paprika is living in an apartment, you would think her neighbors would be alarmed about hearing her screaming and calling for help. Yet no one comes.

* BavarianFireDrill: Jadeite poses as the host for the idol contest, introducing her. Her actual manager, when he tries to intervene, gets brainwashed by the waves that the youma and Jadeite shoot out via radar.
* BigDamnHeroes; Just as Derella has Sailor Moon encased in ice, Tuxedo Kamen tosses two roses. One hits the youma in the face. The other hits Sailor Moon, freeing her.

* CaptureAndReplicate: The youma does this to the real pop idol Ginger. She assaults the latter in the shower, coating her with ice and putting her in a deep freeze. Then the youma touches her limp hand and becomes a mirror copy of her.

* DisguisedInDrag: Naru dresses Umino as a grandma to help her with her performance.

* DubNameChange: The pop Idol Ginger is named "Saffron" in the [=DiC=] episode.
* ExorcistHead: When Usagi peaks to see the monster idol draining everyone's energy, she twists her head revealing her monster form while looking ''directly at her''.

* FanDisservice: The scene of the youma assaulting and impersonating the real pop idol Basil is this. While normally a shower scene would be enticing, it's not so enticing when a monster opens her curtain encases her in ice, and knocks her out.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: The window to the idol's apartment is open, with the curtain fluttering. It shows the youma has broken in so as to carry out Jadeite's plan.
* MythologyGag: In the Viz Dub, Umino takes on a New York accent while dressed as a grandma. It's a reference to Molly's accent from the [=DiC=] Dub.
* NearVillainVictory: The youma comes close to killing Sailor Moon by encasing her in ice. It's only because Tuxedo Kamen's roses injure the youma and free Sailor Moon that the latter gets to counterattack.
* NoOntologicalInertia: The idol Saffron awakens in the shower a few days after she was knocked out, once Usagi destroys the youma. She's confused and wondering if she was dreaming.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jadeite uses his youma doppelganger to stage a music competition and hijack it. This leads to said performer's manager coming to intervene since it wasn't on her schedule, as well as a security guard since she wasn't permitted. The youma has to brainwash them to get them off her case.

* CastAsAMask: In the DiC dub, Saffron is voiced by Stephanie Morgenstern, while the Youma that disguised as her is voiced by regular VA Maria Vacratsis. Averted with the other versions, which go for SignificantDoubleCasting.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jadeite uses his youma doppelganger to stage a music competition and hijack it. This leads to said Pepper Anne's manager coming to intervene since it wasn't on her schedule, as well as a security guard since she wasn't permitted. The youma has to brainwash them to get them off her case.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The youma's soundwaves do this, turning everyone who hears it into a performer. This even applies to the security guard and her manager when they try to intervene.
