When the episode starts the plot is already on its feet and running so you'd better get ready to catch up. What starts off as a physical education routine consisting of doing laps around the school yard soon turns out to be the starting practice for a major upcoming event: a marathon involving the school students. The promising competition will pit everyone, including Sakura and her morose friend Lee. This means another opportunity for Meilin to prove her worth to Lee and defeat her "rival" Sakura. The antagonistic relationship is largely one-sided as Sakura has no meaning at all to slight her jealous peer. Meilin also demonstrates a persistent envious streak upon learning of Sakura's exploits at the physical education class. This fuels Meilin's desire to defeat Sakura in a real competition so she wastes little time training for the marathon. On the eventful day, everything seems to go as usual: the three new main characters are leading the race and drawing ever near the finishing line. They are about to win or it seems. They find themselves redoing the same laps and can't understand what keeps them from advancing. Turns out that the Loop Card is at work and, true to its name, has created a magical knot halfway through the race course. Sakura at first is baffled as to how she's going to cut through the Card's adjusted territory. Everything seems hopeless until Sakura comes across a solution in real Alexander the Great style. She solves the complex issue of unravelling the binding line created by the Loop Card by cutting it. Literally
