Card Captor Sakura - episode 44

Clow Reed has a strange offering to Sakura through visions in her latest dreams. She is able to realise that the mysterious misty figure who constantly stands by close to the omnipresent Radio Tower is Ms Mackenzie. This doesn't do much to answer Sakura's inner queries though, as she senses another presence, only more segregated and shrouded in secrets far harder to be uncovered. Another constant message from her nightly premonition is how she is close to attaining the last Clow Card and subsequently judged by its highest emissary. In the next morning, Sakura is up on her feet again for an outing with her usual friends. They take public transportation to attend a local competition, though this time around it doesn't seem to concern them as candidates. Upon arrival, it's revealed that it's an archery tournament with Ms Mackenzie among its contestats. She's making a killing of it, but in her stands an equally skilled archer: Julian. The two eventually win their way to the final and must battle it out head-on for the honour. Sakura and co are in awe that both of them are evenly matched. However, Ms Mackenzie prickles her ears when Kero mentions You-Ai, a missing character of the Clow Cards Lore and someone whose presence is instrumental for Sakura to fulfill her mission as a Card Captor. The name-dropping causes the graceful woman to lose her zest and her last shot entirely misses its target, meaning that Julian is the winner. Everyone is enthralled with Julian's impressive win, while Lee suspects that something happened that drew Ms Mackenzie's attention away from her turn at the bow. Meanwhile, Sakura senses what portents to be the last Clow Card left form the Book, and prepares to engages her weapons. Nevertheless, she is balked by Ms Mackenzie's nearby presence and dilly dallies for a while. She eventually witnesses the adult and Kero freely having a conversation and concludes that she is also in on the Clow Card business and rushes ahead with her plan to trap the Earth Card, responsible for the ensuing earthquakes on a country already located on shifty tectonic plates. With Lee's help, she gets the last Card under her belt and an unforeseen change starts to take place with Kero...
