The episode begins with Sakura tending to her outdoor chores, which consists of raking the leaves and cleaning the yard. Sakura is mostly minding her own business when Eli happens along. Maybe Eli just felt like dropping to see Sakura, but he unexpectedly asks if he could help. Sakura accepts the offer and he immediately lays his eyes upon her brother's bicycle. To anyone privy to the young man's motivations, it's a foregone conclusion that he has to screw up with Tory's wheeled ride. He soon excuses himself and leaves, while Sakura remains largely indifferent. Perhaps she still doesn't sense anything unusual from Eli, but it's still early for this assumption. Before long, Sakura realises that the Clow Cards used to have a sort of connection to her but they feel cold and distant. Kero explains to her about a little undesired side effect of the cards still remaining in their Clow Form: turns out that there is a deadline for Sakura to convert the remainder of the Clow Cards into Star cards, lest they start seeking a new master and wreak havoc upon unsuspecting citizens. Sakura panics and sets out to convert a bunch of them. At the end of the performed ritual, she's worn out and collapses in her bed, while Kero admonishes her that the cards can't be converted willy nilly. She has little time to rest though, as the dash card becomes confused and, true to its namesake spell, darts off. It finds refuge in Tory's bicycle, as if lured by Eli's previously prepared sleight of hand. There seems to be no way to catch up with the runaway card, until Sakura remembers how the Loop Card makes people and creatures run in circles...
