Grandpa's Follies is the 26th episode of Sailor Moon. It was preceded by Too Many Boyfriends and followed by Kitty Chaos.
Plot
Zoycite tries to extract Raye's grandpa's rainbow crystal, but he is able to stop her. As Zoycite knocks him off the roof with her Zoy attack, the two crows of the temple attack her. She hates crows, and teleports away. A musician named Chad shows up at the temple, and instantly falls in love with Raye, and asks her to let him stay at the temple. Grandpa teaches him to become his apprentice, but he falls while swinging on ropes, and is knocked out. Raye notices that Grandpa has been acting weird ever since he fell off the roof.
Serena uses the Luna Pen to turn into a fortuneteller and play matchmaker with Chad and Raye, but Raye recognizes Serena. Serena decides to take some chocolate cakes (intended for her and Luna) to Raye to apologize.
Zoycite attacks Grandpa again, and weakens him with Zoy before extracing the indigo crystal from him. Tuxedo Mask knocks the crystal away from her. Zoycite transforms Grandpa into Pox, the sixth shadow warrior. Zoycite runs off with the crystal, and Tuxedo Mask runs off after her. She escapes with the crystal while Pox chases after Chad. Chad gets Raye, but Pox attacks them with his breath, slamming Chad into a wall. From here, his fear disappears and he attacks Pox, who knocks him out. Raye uses the fire to discover that Pox was Grandpa turned into a monster. Serena arrives and transforms into Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon is about to use Moon Tiara Magic on Pox when Raye stops her and tells her he is her grandpa. Pox chases them around, until Raye throws a scroll attack at him, which stuns him. Sailor Moon uses Moon Healing Activation to turn him back into Grandpa.
Serena, Raye, Luna, Grandpa, and Chad snack on the chocolate cupcakes. Raye tells Chad that he came to get over his stage fright and succeeded, and kisses him. However, she denies that she is in love with him, saying she is only interested in Darien. Grandpa tells her she can't date until she is 16, and she tries to stop Chad from singing.
