101 "Usagi in Tears! Glass Shoes for her Birthday"

In this episode when Michiru notes Usagi is the type of girl to be targeted Haruka shows disbelief. She never considered such a thing. When they see Kaolinite selling something to Mamoru, though, Haruka seems - as much as I hate to note - a bit more relieved.

When they find it is indeed Usagi they are after, Neptune asks Uranus if they should help her. While Uranus responds that Usagi might hold a talisman, I think there was greater reason for Neptune's asking such. Neptune knew that is what Uranus wished to do. After all, she did respond, "Oh? It's written all over your face. What should you do if that really is the case?"

They continue on and Neptune asks what she will do, if Uranus will take the crystal should it be a talisman and if she is well aware that Usagi will die. Through that, Uranus winces and looks reluctant despite she says she will do such despite all those things.

Most would dismiss her as being the cruel one and Michiru as the one having second thoughts. I think they both know what they must do and that neither wishes to do such. Neither of them wished to take the crystal away if it was a talisman, but Neptune knew that since it was Usagi, Uranus's objectives might falter. She had to be certain Uranus would follow through. Uranus kept speaking about the mission aloud, and I believe that is how the both of them talk themselves into not running away due to what they are feeling. Neptune sees the other's turmoil and sadly says her soldier name in worry.
