''Spoiler Warning: Details of the plot are given away below.''
Sakura is on the back seat of a bus, thinking back to the day before when Tomoyo asked her to come over to her place to help resolve an issue that was brought up but evaded any further inquiry regarding the subject. Just as Sakura puzzles over just what Tomoyo was referring to her bag moves and Kero pops out, causing her to nudge him back in alarmingly. She finds nearly everyone else on the bus staring with bewilderment, to which she embarrassingly dismisses any concern. She promptly chides Kero for bursting out who argues that the conditions within the bag are far too stifling for him; she continues to encourage him to keep out of sight despite his protests which still attract some attention, but fail to set any alarm bells ringing.
EPISODE TITLE CARD
After alighting from the bus Sakura wanders along a set of railings, trying to find the location indicated on the directions Tomoyo provided. Kero pops out and decides to help by going higher, assuring Sakura that no one would be able to see him at that time. Before long he announces that he's found Tomoyo's home and lifts Sakura up to see... that she's been next to it all along; Tomoyo lives in a very big house indeed.
Sakura reaches the main entrance and rings the bell, whereupon an unfamiliar voice comes over an intercom who prompts Sakura to identify herself. In short order the gate opens without visible assistance and Sakura advances, staring in wonder at the immaculate gardens. Tomoyo suddenly pops out the front door to greet her and Kero, who only pokes his head out upon hearing her voice, and leads Sakura in by the hand. The interior leaves them no less awed when a maid addresses Tomoyo with distinct formality, asking about where she'd like tea served. Tomoyo requests it in her own room but leaves the maid stumped when she asks for three cups. Sakura and Kero are both amazed by the sheer size of Tomoyo's room, which includes her own private media room for working on her videos of Sakura, who soon finds another outfit that she had been working on. As Tomoyo declares that she expects no tangible reward for making Sakura clothes a knock at the door sends Kero dashing for cover. Tomoyo's mother, Sonomi Daidouji, enters when invited and readily greets Sakura, explaining that she left her office almost as soon as she heard about her visit. She invites Sakura to partake of tea and cake in the garden, which stirs Kero's emotions, however the maid arrives with the tea just as Sonomi leads the two girls out. Once everyone's gone Kero throws a great big tantrum over his absence from the refreshments, but it's cut short when he feels something off in the area.
Outside Sonomi remarks about the expected quality of the cake and how Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko, loved sweet food just as much as Sakura appears to. When Sakura explains that her father said the same thing she unwittingly spoils the moment for her. Sakura affirms Sonomi's expectation about the cake.
Back at the Kinomoto household Touya's busy washing the car when Yukito turns up and offers to help out with the chores, which Fujitaka welcomes readily and invites him to join them in a short break. When Yukito asks where Sakura is Touya mentions that she's gone over to Tomoyo's place, which concerns him as he recalls how Sonomi reacted to Fujitaka during the sports' day at Tomoeda Elementary. However Fujitaka reassures them with total confidence that Sonomi would not aim to cause Sakura any distress.
Back at the Daidouji residence Sakura has just finished off her slice of cake when she notices that Sonomi appears to be staring into space. She mentions that Sakura reminds her of Nadeshiko in so many ways, listing off a few of her attributes before her mind wanders back to a number of cheerful moments she shared with her. This is swiftly cut-off when she recalls Nadeshiko's announcement of her engagement to Fujitaka. She then asks about Sakura's athletic pursuits, who shrugs off the remark about her skill in that field, before Sonomi mentions that is one area where she differs from her mother. She then recalls several times where Nadeshiko had a mishap, culminating in the time she met Fujitaka leading to Sonomi ranting into the sky over what he said to her at the time. She then remembers who's with her and promptly collects herself with an apology. Sakura then asks her about her father, mentioning that he never told her about himself but often talked about her mother. Sonomi says there's nothing good she can say about him, because there was nothing he could be faulted on.
Their time together is interrupted by a phone call from Sonomi's secretary, which leaves her with no alternative but to cut tea-time short. Tomoyo mentions that they'll spend time in her room and takes the last piece of cake with her; as they make their way back to the house Sonomi practically begs Sakura to join them for dinner.
Once they're back in Tomoyo's room Kero promptly chews Sakura out for leaving him out, especially since he could see how much she enjoyed it from the window. Tomoyo presents him with the last piece and he switches to great joy, Sakura's grateful to Tomoyo's foresight managing to avoid a grudge. Kero's so busy indulging in the cake that he mentions the presence of a Clow card in the manner of it being an afterthought. Tomoyo mentions that she suspected this to be the case and brings out a jewellery box, explaining that her mother wanted to have a look at the contents after an undetermined amount of time but that the box is effectively impossible to open now. When Kero points out that the card's presence is coming from the box, Sakura focuses to confirm this. Tomoyo illustrates the problem they've been having by attempting to unlock, whereupon the key shoots right out of her grasp and lands on the floor behind them. She explains the contents are family treasures in effect and that they know they're sill inside, but it's a case of so near yet so far. Sakura readily consents to providing her help in this endeavour, which leads to Tomoyo readying her camcorder.
Kero and Sakura both focus intently upon the box in an effort to find some clue as to which card's responsible and how to fix the issue, but no evidence is forthcoming. Sakura decides to give the box a tap with her staff and notices something unusual when it's deflected, a second attempt leads to Kero diagnosing the cause as the Shield card when they both see a forcefield surrounding the box. Tomoyo mentions that she couldn't see a thing, which Kero explains away by the fact that it can only be seen by those who are magic. Sakura wonders if the card's deliberately hampering Tomoyo's efforts to open it but Kero mentions that Shield's not the type to do something for kicks, it simply has a burning desire to protect whatever's valuable leading to Tomoyo smiling happily at the implication. Kero then reminds Sakura that she has a sword at her disposal that can be as sharp as she wishes, leading her to summon the power of the Sword card. When she successfully penetrates the shield the card manifests in its true form, allowing her to seal it.
A second attempt to unlock the box goes without a hitch and Tomoyo consents to Sakura's request to look at the contents herself. A knock at the door sends Kero running for cover again and Sonomi returns with an apology for cutting their time earlier short. She's surprised to find that the box is open and asks how they managed, to which Tomoyo provides a plausible explanation. When Sakura remarks upon the bouquet Sonomi takes out she mentions it was Nadeshiko's wedding bouquet, composed of cherry blossoms, she then talks about how much Nadeshiko loved cherry blossoms and recalls her mentioning that should she have a daughter she'd name her 'Sakura'.
Sonomi quickly decides that she'll personally prepare dinner and leads Sakura to the dining room, asking what she'd like the most. Once they've left Kero pops out again just as Tomoyo replaces the bouquet and takes out a small packet, affirming Kero's deduction that it's her cherished possession.

{{Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the episode.}}
It begins as Sakura Kinomoto's having a strange dream where she stands on a rooftop, looking upon Tokyo Tower during a full moon, brandishing a staff. Just as she leaps off...
EPISODE TITLE CARD
...She wakes up with the alarm, just as she receives the call for breakfast. A First Person Voiceover occurs as she gets ready for a typical school-day where she introduces herself, her brother, her father and her mother (deceased). Almost as soon as she begins her breakfast Touya, her brother, prepares to set-off for high school, prompting her to start bolting her food. Once she's donned her rollerblading gear she departs at significant speed so as to join Touya on the way to school, even though she finds him most annoying. It soon becomes apparent why when they meet Touya's classmate, Yukito Tsukishiro; Sakura's eyes bulge with hearts at the sight of him. The journey goes by all to quickly but Yukito leaves her with a parting gift, which is commented on by Sakura's closest friend, Tomoyo Daidouji.
As they switch their outdoor shoes with indoor footwear Tomoyo continues to remark on how well Sakura and Yukito seem to play off one another, bemoaning the fact she couldn't catch it on tape. During a Literature class, Sakura's mind drifts to what her dream was, and the presence of something like a cuddly toy in it, which she subconsciously doodles in her notebook. Once again Tomoyo picks up on this and discretely asks about it, however their teacher requests Sakura take over the reading of the assigned story but Tomoyo gives her a hint about where to read from. Later on, during a rehearsal of the school's cheerleading squad, Sakura's still mulling over the dream, reminding herself to talk to Tomoyo about it. In the middle of a baton toss her perception of it morphs into the staff she saw in that dream, which leads to it landing on her forehead to the bemusement of two of her friends.
Sakura is the first to return to the Kinomoto household where she finds a notice on their whiteboard rota that her father will be rather late getting back. Just as she's about to have a quick snack she hears a strange noise coming from the basement that alarms her as no one else is meant to be in the house. She comes to the conclusion that she'll have to investigate to determine whether someone's broken in before making an emergency call. Slowly and steadily she makes her way along the contours of the bookcases in the basement until she reaches the end, finding no sign at all of anyone having gained unauthorised entry. Just as she's about to go back she picks up on something out of the ordinary and turns back to find that one book appears to be glowing, which fades just as she's about to take it off the shelf. Her curiosity leads her to actually look at the cover and is shocked as she remembers this from the initial part of her dream; with her hands firmly grasping this book the lock springs loose apparently of its own accord. As she checks what's inside she finds a deck of cards, similar to tarot cards. The first one she picks up has kanji she can't appear to decipher but, lower down, she finds something written in English. She tries to sound out the key word but has to make two attempts before she pronounces it correctly.
Suddenly a mighty whirlwind fills the basement, fluttering book pages and scattering the remaining cards to the winds. Once the wind dies down Sakura is completely stumped by this event when the book cover glows even more brightly than before, startling her all the more as a shape emerges. As it floats in mid-air it suddenly greets her, appearing to be some form of ambulatory cuddly toy. Sakura's bewilderment causes it real agitation and promptly announces itself as being Cerberus, the Guardian of the Seal. He affirms that his role is to keep the Clow cards secure, until he finds they've all gone and breaks down in despair. Sakura looks at the card she picked up and hands it to him inquiringly, whereupon he immediately brightens up and then asks about the others. Sakura slowly explains just what happened with a nervous laugh that gets him going before he realises just what she said, they've escaped.
We next find Sakura having dinner with Touya that she quickly ploughs through and clears up before grabbing some dessert which she takes upstairs, explaining she'll have it while doing her homework. In her bedroom she asks Cerberus how his search is going, prompting a negative answer although he smiles at the sight of her dessert. He explains to her that these cards are actually magical entities brought into being by one of the most powerful sorcerers in history, Clow Reed, who created the book she found to keep them under control and made him for the purpose of maintaining a watch over the book's seal. With the cards loose potentially dangerous chaos could sweep across the entire world, so they must be brought back to the book. Sakura reacts with shock when he tells her that this can only be achieved if she takes an active role in the pursuit, affirming that as a pre-teen she cannot possibly take on such a heavy responsibility. He reminds her that her curiosity set the cards loose but she retorts that he was meant to keep the seal locked, which leads to him that he dozed off... thirty years previous. He explains that, for her to have opened the book, she must have access to magic and, upon learning her name, summons the key from within the seal which transforms into the staff that she saw in her dream. Hesitantly Sakura follows his instruction to grab it, whereupon he proudly declares her the Cardcaptor! And starts scoffing the dessert.
Later on Sakura's ready to go to bed but Cerberus is bouncing on it. She insists that she's not Cardcaptor material but he makes the point that as she set them loose she must be the one to repair the damage, but she makes it clear to him that if he hadn't fallen asleep they wouldn't have been able to get out. Just then a strong wind rushes in through the window and, as Sakura attempts to close it, Cerberus points out a huge bird as being another Clow card. He announces it's time for her to take action as the Cardcaptor.
The great wind produced by this card starts making windows crack as Sakura sallies forth with her rollerblade gear on, but with no time to change out of her night attire as Cerberus affirms that, as the Cardcaptor, she should be able to take on a card regardless of her clothing. The card's wind blows her off her feet, which makes Cerberus use his own power of flight to catch her. With some prompting Sakura summons the Sealing Staff but cannot fathom how to deal with this card, leading her to make a rapid withdrawal to avoid the card's aggressive action. Cerberus insists she find a way to make it subjugate despite her anxiety, leading to her performing a stunt against a cliff wall to launch herself onto its back. Cerberus calls out to her a couple of times but the only thing she does is use the power of the one card that remained, the Windy, to pin this card, the Fly, down. Once steady in front of the downed card she makes a declaration for the Fly to return to its dormant card form, bringing it under her authority.
When Cerberus congratulates her all she has to say is that she felt her life was on the line during the confrontation. He decides that she should explore just what command of the cards could bring and prompts her to summon Fly's power for her own use. She's amazed by the result of her flying upon the Sealing Staff in a manner akin to how one would expect a witch to fly on a broom. Cerberus mentions that with her as the Cardcaptor they could make some great memories, but she has yet to accept the role.

Just as she's about to have a quick snack she hears a strange noise coming from the basement that alarms her as no one else is meant to be in the house. She comes to the conclusion that she'll have to investigate to determine whether someone's broken in before making an emergency call. Slowly and steadily she makes her way along the contours of the bookcases in the basement until she reaches the end, finding no sign at all of anyone having gained unauthorised entry. Just as she's about to go back she picks up on something out of the ordinary and turns back to find that one book appears to be glowing, which fades just as she's about to take it off the shelf. Her curiosity leads her to actually look at the cover and is shocked as she remembers this from the initial part of her dream; with her hands firmly grasping this book the lock springs loose apparently of its own accord. As she checks what's inside she finds a deck of cards, similar to tarot cards. The first one she picks up has kanji she can't appear to decipher but, lower down, she finds something written in English. She tries to sound out the key word but has to make two attempts before she pronounces it correctly.
Suddenly a mighty whirlwind fills the basement, fluttering book pages and scattering the remaining cards to the winds. Once the wind dies down Sakura is completely stumped by this event when the book cover glows even more brightly than before, startling her all the more as a shape emerges. As it floats in mid-air it suddenly greets her, appearing to be some form of ambulatory cuddly toy. Sakura's bewilderment causes it real agitation and promptly announces itself as being Cerberus, the Guardian of the Seal. He affirms that his role is to keep the Clow cards secure, until he finds they've all gone and breaks down in despair. Sakura looks at the card she picked up and hands it to him inquiringly, whereupon he immediately brightens up and then asks about the others. Sakura slowly explains just what happened with a nervous laugh that gets him going before he realises just what she said, they've escaped.
We next find Sakura having dinner with Touya that she quickly ploughs through and clears up before grabbing some dessert which she takes upstairs, explaining she'll have it while doing her homework. In her bedroom she asks Cerberus how his search is going, prompting a negative answer although he smiles at the sight of her dessert. He explains to her that these cards are actually magical entities brought into being by one of the most powerful sorcerers in history, Clow Reed, who created the book she found to keep them under control and made him for the purpose of maintaining a watch over the book's seal. With the cards loose potentially dangerous chaos could sweep across the entire world, so they must be brought back to the book. Sakura reacts with shock when he tells her that this can only be achieved if she takes an active role in the pursuit, affirming that as a pre-teen she cannot possibly take on such a heavy responsibility. He reminds her that her curiosity set the cards loose but she retorts that he was meant to keep the seal locked, which leads to him that he dozed off... thirty years previous. He explains that, for her to have opened the book, she must have access to magic and, upon learning her name, summons the key from within the seal which transforms into the staff that she saw in her dream. Hesitantly Sakura follows his instruction to grab it, whereupon he proudly declares her the Cardcaptor! And starts scoffing the dessert.
Later on Sakura's ready to go to bed but Cerberus is bouncing on it. She insists that she's not Cardcaptor material but he makes the point that as she set them loose she must be the one to repair the damage, but she makes it clear to him that if he hadn't fallen asleep they wouldn't have been able to get out. Just then a strong wind rushes in through the window and, as Sakura attempts to close it, Cerberus points out a huge bird as being another Clow card. He announces it's time for her to take action as the Cardcaptor.
The great wind produced by this card starts making windows crack as Sakura sallies forth with her rollerblade gear on, but with no time to change out of her night attire as Cerberus affirms that, as the Cardcaptor, she should be able to take on a card regardless of her clothing. The card's wind blows her off her feet, which makes Cerberus use his own power of flight to catch her. With some prompting Sakura summons the Sealing Staff but cannot fathom how to deal with this card, leading her to make a rapid withdrawal to avoid the card's aggressive action. Cerberus insists she find a way to make it subjugate despite her anxiety, leading to her performing a stunt against a cliff wall to launch herself onto its back. Cerberus calls out to her a couple of times but the only thing she does is use the power of the one card that remained, the Windy, to pin this card, the Fly, down. Once steady in front of the downed card she makes a declaration for the Fly to return to its dormant card form, bringing it under her authority.
When Cerberus congratulates her all she has to say is that she felt her life was on the line during the confrontation. He decides that she should explore just what command of the cards could bring and prompts her to summon Fly's power for her own use. She's amazed by the result of her flying upon the Sealing Staff in a manner akin to how one would expect a witch to fly on a broom. Cerberus mentions that with her as the Cardcaptor they could make some great memories, but she has yet to accept the role.
It begins as Sakura Kinomoto's having a strange dream where she stands on a rooftop, looking upon Tokyo Tower during a full moon, brandishing a staff. Just as she leaps off...
EPISODE TITLE CARD
...She wakes up with the alarm, just as she receives the call for breakfast. A First Person Voiceover occurs as she gets ready for a typical school-day where she introduces herself, her brother, her father and her mother (deceased). Almost as soon as she begins her breakfast Touya, her brother, prepares to set-off for high school, prompting her to start bolting her food. Once she's donned her rollerblading gear she departs at significant speed so as to join Touya on the way to school, even though she finds him most annoying. It soon becomes apparent why when they meet Touya's classmate, Yukito Tsukishiro; Sakura's eyes bulge with hearts at the sight of him. The journey goes by all to quickly but Yukito leaves her with a parting gift, which is commented on by Sakura's closest friend, Tomoyo Daidouji.
As they switch their outdoor shoes with indoor footwear Tomoyo continues to remark on how well Sakura and Yukito seem to play off one another, bemoaning the fact she couldn't catch it on tape. During a Literature class, Sakura's mind drifts to what her dream was, and the presence of something like a cuddly toy in it, which she subconsciously doodles in her notebook. Once again Tomoyo picks up on this and discretely asks about it, however their teacher requests Sakura take over the reading of the assigned story but Tomoyo gives her a hint about where to read from. Later on, during a rehearsal of the school's cheerleading squad, Sakura's still mulling over the dream, reminding herself to talk to Tomoyo about it. In the middle of a baton toss her perception of it morphs into the staff she saw in that dream, which leads to it landing on her forehead to the bemusement of two of her friends.
