Now here is the perfect setup for a classic Card Captor episode. A school-level quiz competition is announced at Sakura's school and everyone is girding up their loins to win it. The contest involves a mix of quiz-style queries, clue searching and traipsing in the woods after all the previous requirements have been met and enough hints have been gathered to accurately conclude where the bounty has been hiding. Happening upon the "treasure" by accident doesn't result in an instant win, in case you're wondering. The curious git is supposed to leave it untouched and go back to getting the questions right and assemble the clues in the right order. Sakura, ever being the clevel and athletic that the audience will invariably be cheering for, makes her oway over to Maddison to, predictably enough, ask her to pair up with her. In an unforeseen move to break away from the typical plot device typical of this series, Julian (Yukito) deliberately steps in from the background and cuts off Maddison, offering to be Sakura's partner instead. Maddison acquiesces, and Sakura is thrilled to bits to be once accompanied by the older student. The competition provides an opporunity for Julian to show off his quick wit and whiz knowledge, ensuring them some precious time by getting most of the riddles correctly answered. Sakura does get to prove that she's not slow on the uptake either and this suffices to set them apart from the competition. Meanwhile, Kero is at home, fussing about. The full moon beacons, and Kero is certain that on this particular night it also signals a major turning point for our story...
