This dramatic episode hinges on Maron’s anger at learning that Chiaki is really her magical kaitou rival Sinbad (really? who would have guessed?) and that he knew all along that she was Kaitou Jeanne and was simply trying to interfere with her divine mission by getting her to fall in love with him (ditto!). (Well -- in anime, it’s never as simple as all that but . . . .) Anyhow, this episode contains some classic moments in the series, including a steamy flashback to the moonlit ending of Ep. 16 and one of Jeanne’s most dramatic demon captures.
Of course, when you think about it, it doesn’t help matters that Sinbad looks exactly like Chiaki, in spite of the lavender hair and mysterious hankie over his mouth, and so Maron must feel ... well ... a tiny bit blonde for not having made the connection for herself sooner than 3/4 of the way through the series. (Cheer up, Maron: master detective Miyako stays brunette 24/7 and still hasn’t become more than a teensy bit suspicious about either party’s secret identities.)
CAUTION: SPOILERS IN DESCRIPTIONS!
Aw, but c'mon -- watch the fansub and then go look at the nice sketches. It won't take Sherlock (or Inspector Lastrade) to figure out what's got to happen in an episode like this, and you'll enjoy yourself.
