DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN CARDCAPTOR SAKURA OR ANY OF ITS RELATED CHARACTERS OR LOGOS! I AM JUST A FAN=)Toya begins his habit of staring suspiciously at Kero whenever he gets the chance. Kaho and Sakura meet, and Kaho begins her habit of unerring predictions with the comment that they will see each other again tomorrow. Sakura is dazzled by Kaho's beauty. Kaho Mizuki is introduced to the class as a long-term substitute math teacher, surprising Sakura. Syaoran's reaction is one of instant suspicion and dislike, and he tells Sakura he can sense something. Syaoran uses his magic to rescue Tomoyo, without even waiting to be asked by Sakura.

I AM JUST A FAN=) For the first time, we learn that Fujitaka's room has an organ, though no one in the family has ever mentioned music. Left alone in the living room, Tomoyo has to make conversation with Toya and Yukito without Sakura for the first time. Sakura's dress resembles the one Alice wore in Alice in Wonderland. Sakura really hated being small.

I AM JUST A FAN=) For the third time Sakura has her dream of the Final Judgement, this time with the silhouette of Kaho before the moon. Sakura meets Kaho at the Shrine by chance, and we see Kaho dressed in the traditional garb of a shrine mistress. When Fujitaka hears the name of Sakura's new teacher, he is immediately troubled and mumbles something about Toya under his breath. Whatever happened between the two, it's obvious he knows at least part of it. Syaoran, Sakura, and Kero go to the Shrine very late to capture the Card. Starting with Maze there is a trend of many Cards appearing at the Shrine, probably attracted to the new power living there.

I AM JUST A FAN=) For the first and only time Meiling almost brushes up against the truth of Syaoran's feelings for Yukito, when she walks into a conversation concerning how Yukito will be spending the night at the Kinomoto's. However, no one enlightens her on the whole truth. Meiling announces that she is just as good a singer as Tomoyo is, but we are never given the chance to hear for ourselves. Sakura didn't want to go to her school at night at first because of what happened with Shadow, but after Yukito told her that he wanted to hear the mysterious voice even for just a little bit, Sakura finally agreed to go.
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN CARDCAPTOR SAKURA OR ANY OF ITS RELATED CHARACTERS OR LOGOS! I AM JUST A FAN=) Meiling and Toya and Yukito meet for the first time, but Sakura makes the mistake as introducing her as Syaoran's cousin. When she corrects her with "fiance", Syaoran becomes horribly embarrassed and bolts, mortified that Yukito heard it. When Sakura activates her staff and invites Syaoran to hop on, he hangs back and hesitates. He's already been on it once before, so the hesitation comes from some other reason than doubt about the staff's safety. Most likely he's uncomfortable being that close to Sakura since their hug in Episode #27 In the frantic fight to seal Shot, Sakura and Syaoran start to display the fruits of their long partnership. Without needing to speak she communicates her plan to use Mirror, and he understands even in the heat of battle. It's a moment of progress in their teamwork.

I AM JUST A FAN=) When Naoko finishes reading what had been written into the Nameless Book, she says aloud that it was about a magician. Given that this book/Card was Clow's creation, it seems most likely that the story was about him. She goes on to create characters that are animals with wings, hinting that the book may have mentioned Keroberos and Yue in their winged form. Syaoran had to ask Meiling if she'd seen the translucent princess, using her as the acid test to find out whether it was a ghost. This implies he can see ghosts, just like Toya. Naoko is not at all upset to find her book disappeared during the night, embracing the idea that she's had a brush with the supernatural. She truly adores mysteries.

We also learn that her father out of town on business a lot, not insignificant when you factor in her crush on the teacher. She says they both like strawberry shortcakes at lot, and gives Terada a slice. We also learn that Meiling is just as bad at baking cakes as Rika is good, in spite of her apparent ability to cook anything Chinese or Japanese. Though he affects most of the time to not care about Meiling's feelings, Syaoran goes out of his way to tell Meiling that their failed cake in class was not her fault. This episode does not clearly reveal who controls The Sweet after capture. However in Episode 46, Sweet is shown to be in Sakura's possession when Yue pulls the cards away from her.
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN CARDCAPTOR SAKURA OR ANY OF ITS RELATED CHARACTERS OR LOGOS! I AM JUST A FAN =) This episode marks the first time Sakura feels morally conflicted about capturing a Card -- her desire to see others happy warring with her mandate to seal the Cards and to do what is right. Toya's athleticism is reaffirmed when Fujitaka remembers how he once broke the school record in sprinting. Although Syaoran is very no-nonsense about sealing away Dash, Sakura catches him in the act of being humane at the end of the episode. For seemingly no reason whatsoever, he activates the Card and allows Rei a tiny glimpse of him just before her sprint in the Meet. When Sakura confronts him about it, he denies it to her face. Whether he was driven to this random act of kindness out of a sense of long-dormant decency, or because he wanted to make Sakura happy, is a question only he can answer.

We glimpse him teaching a large class about Mesopotamian culture, though it's not clear if that is his specialty. The episode shows the deep care and love between father and daughter, with little input from Toya and not a mention of Nadeshiko. It's the only one of its kind in that respect. The exchange of notes with the prepared bento boxes sum up their closeness perfectly.

She is shocked to find Tomoyo's house to be an elaborate mansion with maids. Sonomi rushes over when she hears of Sakura's visit and shares the memories of Nadeshiko with Sakura over tea. While Sonomi is taking care of business over the phone, Tomoyo presents a special box and explains the key to the box bounces out whenever she tries to open it and Kero senses it's the work of a Clow Card. Sakura uses the Sword card to slice away the protective barrier of the Shield card and captures it. Inside the box is a dried bouquet of cherry blossoms from Sakura's mother's wedding and the first present Sakura ever gave Tomoyo, an eraser shaped like a bunny.
