15/36. Stormy Weather
Sakura has the same dream she's always had. She's holding a card in her hand and it disappears. She can almost see the figure's face when the alarm rings. It's the first day of a new semester and Sakura hasn't captured many cards lately. The cards are revolving around Kero as he discusses this with her. Sakura remembers her capture with Sleep and Wood. The cards are returned to the book as Sakura rushes to school.
She catches up with Tori and they meet up with Julian, who doesn't have his bike this time. Tori rides on ahead, leaving Julian and Sakura to walk alone together. During this walk, Julian gives Sakura a present. The class is getting a new teacher for this semester and it's Miss Mackenzie, which makes Sakura very happy. Li, on the other hand, is not. Thinking back for a moment, Sakura wonders if Miss Mackenzie was that figure in her dream. For that day, Miss Mackenzie wants to have class outside and they decide on a nature walk. She says aside to Sakura that there's very unusual weather. When Sakura looks outside, she sees snow falling.
Upon arriving home, Sakura promptly opens her present; Julian gave her a watch. The snow is falling harder outside. Sakura's cooking when Tori comes home, completely covered in snow. It's really very strange as it never snows that time of year. While talking to Madison, Sakura tells her she knows it's a Clow card. Sakura goes out with Madison on Fly and Kero is happy there's new card. They go to Penguin Park and Sakura drops deep into the snow. Li and Meilin arrive and Sakura uses Float to keep both her and Li above the snow as Meilin goes to join Madison on the side.
Sakura thinks Miss Mackenzie knew about the strange weather, to Li and Kero's surprise. The Snow card creates a blizzard around all of them. Sakura takes out the Fly again, but Li is hesitant to use it, too. He finally climbs on the staff and they fly away from both girls. The Snow attacks them. Li tries countering with fire but it's not strong enough. They get caught in a whirlwind and Sakura realizes her watch is gone.
Angry, she takes out Firey and the card wipes out the snow in a flash. Li is shocked by this. The Snow card appears before her and Sakura seals it. Li tells her she did great, but Sakura is saddened by the loss of her watch. When he tries to comfort her, they hear a bell and see Miss Mackenzie, who returns Sakura's watch to her. Very happy at getting it back, she thanks her teacher. Li continues to be suspicious of Miss Mackenzie and doesn't trust her.
