Card Captor Sakura - episode 62

Sakura is getting ready for the New Year's festival, putting on a traditional oriental dress. Kero makes light of it, to which replies by threatening to deprive him of her father's New Year treats, which Kero eagerly anticipates wolfing down. This makes Kero suddenly get into the fold and extol his friend on her choice of attire. In the end, Sakura tells him that' enough and that he will have access to his sugary fix after all. Unusual for Sakura to manipulate someone like that, let alone Kero, but it may be on account of her growing up as a person and becoming more aware of her responsibilities. At the Shrine to celebrate New Year, Tory finds Julian lying unconscious inside a shrine while noticing that he's faintly vanishing, prompting Tory to realise that something is amiss, while Sakura and Maddison go get their fortunes at the fortune telling stand. To their surprise, Eli is in charge of the clairvoyance business, which means that another unusual occurrence will befall Sakura. Nothing comes immediately of it, only Sakura getting a cryptic message telling her that the truth will be revealed to her in her dreams.

This is one of those episodes that do a ripper of a job advancing the plot. This is probably on account of it involving the series' choice foreshadowing method, which is revelations through dreams and the prophetic figures that dominate in it. However, since Sakura has so far proved herself well worthy of the title of Master of the Clow Cards (now referred to as "Star Cards", the attempts of the unfolding visions to reveal to her who is the kingpin behind all of the unusual occurrences will not be without merit.
