Primarily this is an episode about further establishing Eli's identity as a character with an interest in assessing Sakura's worth as the new Master of the Clow Cards. He does this by putting up a friendly façade whenever he is around Sakura's usual gang at school and ther venues. Lee seems to be the only seemingly capable of peering through the front, reasoning that it may be a gossamer veneer to some sinister scheme. Eli does a good job concealing his agenda from Lee, however, and throws him off by telling him to watch his balance while the grumpy kid is sitting atop a tree branch. Eli collects the unconscious student in his arms and deposits him safely elsewhere, while he thinks of a way to put Sakura through his next test. He soon solves this problem by spotting her at a store to buy some yarn for a handmade craft. Eli sweeps his hand over the dainty threads, which soon becomes Sakura's opponent in a fight that sees her deploy the Sword Card, adding to another card becoming a Star Card. Elsewhere, we get a glimpse of Eli's group, comprised of Ruby, the girl with a penchant to stalk Tory, and Spinny, Kero's jetty counterpart, but no more is revealed.
