Summary[]
Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero investigate a museum and see a boy trying to damage a painting, claiming that his father's work has been altered.
Plot[]
Kero's picture
At an art museum trip, Sakura and Tomoyo are drawing a sculpture. Sakura suddenly screams scaring Tomoyo who covered her ears and also scaring Mr. Terada who tells her he just said to be quiet. She apologizes and glares at her drawing book, turning out that her drawing of Kero was messed up by him.
Naoko and Chiharu wave at her from the courtyard. Tomoyo says she wants to finish drawing, so as she tries to get to the courtyard, Sakura witnesses a boy attempting to change a painting and was stopped by the guard. During the commotion, she couldn't hear anything and Cerberus was sure it was the Silent card.
Silent can't stand loud noises so the museum would be the perfect place for the card to hide. The noises caused by the boy caused it to reveal itself in distress at the noise. Sakura sneaks out of the house at night and into the museum, while she's doing this, Yukito Tsukishiro comes out of the house and asks what Sakura's doing. Sakura says that she's watching the stars, Yukito believes her and tells her not to stay out too long.
Tomoyo and the schedule of the guard
Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero now head to the museum, Tomoyo has a schedule for the guard and whenever he comes, Sakura and Kero read it and they go into the museum where they meet the boy from earlier also sneaking in. The boy, Yuuki Tachibana explains the painting is by his deceased father and his mission to restore the painting which a Clow Card has covered up.
Every time Sakura attempts to capture the card, the Silent card transports the group outside. Using the Shadow card after Yuuki is been captured by the guard who stopped him earlier and pushes the guard onto the floor allowing Yuuki to flee, Sakura is able to silently capture Silent from a distance restoring the painting and discovering Yuuki is actually a girl. The guard returns where he dropped his flashlight after he get pushed by the shadow Sakura earlier and looks at the painting seeing the painting is back to normal. He screams and runs down the hallway panicking that the painting is haunted. After saying goodbye to Yuuki; Sakura, Kero and Tomoyo left home.
The stranger
A stranger, dressed in an long, green robe, appears on the top of the museum tower at the end of the episode and quietly mutters that he senses a Clow Card.
