Card Captor Sakura - episode 38

 Things are looking peachy and cosy when Sakura's school project ushers in another promising day with Julian. The prospect always means a lot to our dear squirt, and what better way to spend the day with an older friendly student than to pick up strawberries for a baking project? Their effort is successful as they have gathered enough to fill a whole punnet, but Lee is clearly uncomfortable with not being Sakura's companion. He rushes in and offers her the fruits of his labour, as if to remind her of his presence. These interactions provide all the necessary background about their real objective: investigate the magical energy issuing from the warehouse next-door. The usual assembly of Card Captors soon find themselves locked in and this time they can't get through to Kero to ask for advice. Lee concludes that this is teh doing of the Lock card, which explains its inclination to trapping people inside walled enclosures, while Maddison volunteers that a key is what is needed to open a lock, but no one can think of what will work. The puzzle seems unsolvable until Sakura tries to climb out of a window and notices Ms Mackenzie peering in from a tree branch. From her perch, she gestures to Sakura's Key of Clow. From now on, everything proceeds as usual.

Be warned: there isn't a lot of action in this episode. Previous episodes where elemental cards had to be captured featured more bustling battles. A novelty in this one is the Lock Card's physical form, which isn't a personified spirit, like the rest.
