Plot
Usagi makes her way home from school when something catches her eye at the arcade, and goes in to see that Minako is talking to Motoki. He says he invited her there to take her mind off of studying after Usagi says that they should doing just that. As is typical, Minako misquotes a proverb, so Motoki says maybe she should study after all, but she ignores this and drags Usagi to a game. A student of Mugen Academy enters and easily beats Minako at a racing game in spite of giving her a head start. Another student of Mugen enters and apologises to the racer whom she addresses as Haruka and they leave with Minako and Usagi in awe at Haruka's beauty (with her androgynous appearance and gender-neutral name, they don't realise that Haruka is female at this point.)
The Daimon Egg implants itself in the steering wheel of the car that garage owner Kameda is working on unknownst to him or Haruka, who is also there. Seeing the edge of Minako's skirt, Haruka joins them and they bombard her with questions. Both she and the other student pretend that they aren't together and so Minako's vain hope of obtaining Haruka persists. Haruka and the other student tell them of Haruka's enthusiasm for cars. The youma pops up and gets beaten.
They all go to the arcade including the other Senshi who had figured out that Usagi and Minako were chasing after who they assumed was a boy and they ask where Haruka is. The other student gestures to Haruka and, with her jacket off and shirt partially unbuttoned, she admits that she never said anything about being a man. Minako sags, Ami sighs and Usagi lies that she knew Mamoru was better from the start.
Changes

Dub Changes
In the English dub, Minako calls out "Venus Crystal Power" instead of "Venus Star Power", due to a mistake in the script.
In the anglosphere people drive on the other side of the road so in the dub Steering was flipped to make it look like the driver's side was on the left.
