When the episode begins, we see a girl sleeping with her stuffed toys at the back. She's sleeping peacefully while one of her stuffed toys suddenly starts moving and tries to get out of the girl's room. While it's doing this, the other stuffed toys start moving as well. They start to jump on the girl's bed as each hope out of her room. 

Sakura helping Maki

It's now the next day. Sakura--as always--goes on her roller skates and heads to school. On her way there, she sees Maki Matsumoto and a new shop. Maki tries putting the boxes down to unpack, but they fall. Sakura sees this, and immediately rushes over to help. Maki thanks her and Sakura says it's no problem. Sakura tells Maki that she has so many cute stuffed toys. Maki tells Sakura that the shop opens on that day. Maki introduces herself, saying that she's the owner of Twin Bells. Sakura introduces herself. Maki tells Sakura that she should stop by Twin Bells after school with her friends. Sakura responds with a yes and smiles brightly. Maki then again tries to take out the boxes, but they fall. 

Chiharu and Sakura talking about Twin Bells

At School, Sakura just finished her cheerleading club for the day. Chiharu Mihara calls Sakura and asks her about the new shop that's opening. Chiharu, who is a huge fan of stuffed toys and plushies, asks if they can go. Sakura says that she can go. Chiharu says that she invited Rika Sasaki and Naoko Yanagisawa as well. Sakura says that she promised Tomoyo that she would go. Sakura suggests that they goo together, Chiharu says that she's fine with it.

Sakura peeks out the window and sees Tomoyo practising for the Choir Club. Sakura explains how Tomoyo's voice is very lovely and how Tomoyo has won many competitions. Tomoyo looks at Sakura and smiles at her.

Sakura Excited to go to Twin Bells

It's the end of the day. Sakura and her friends are now going to Twin Bells. When they arrive, Twin Bells has opened up, but Sakura doesn't see Maki. They look inside and see boxes scattered everywhere. They see Maki try to put the box somewhere, but she falls. 

Sakura enters and is welcomed by Maki. Maki apologizes about the mess. Sakura asks if she and her friends can help, but Maki said that she can't let her customer's do that, but Sakura insisted, so Maki says thanks and they start working. They all get Twin Bells finished and cleaned up. Maki treats them to tea and cookies. Chiharu suggests that they go to the shop the next day.

As they keep on talking, one of the boxes starts to move and the stuffed toys fell on the ground. The Panda one comes to Chiharu and she hugs it, saying it's really cute. Chiharu decides that she'll buy it.

Sakura and her friends go to Chiharu's house. They go to Chiharu's room and their shocked because Chiharu's room looks like a "Safari Of Plushies"

Chiharu's "Stuffie Safari"

Chiharu says that there are bigger stuffed toys in the living room. Chiharu stops and she hears a thud. Sakura asks what that is. They go back to Chiharu's room and see all the stuffed toys scattered everywhere. Chiharu notices the Panda stuffie is gone. Chiharu gets scared because there might have been a burglar and starts crying in Sakura's arms. Tomoyo, Rika and Naoko examine the window.

The next day at school, Tomoyo and Sakura talk about what happened while watching Sakura's brother -Touya Kinomoto- play soccer. Tomoyo says that she has heard a rumour before. Tomoyo says she was talking to her mother after she got home about how there was a burglar at Chiharu's home and she said that there was a shop where something bad happens if you buy something from there. Sakura asks is she's talking about Maki's shop, Tomoyo says that she doesn't know for sure and that it's a rumour in the Toy Store Industry.

Sakura and Tomoyo listening to Maki's story

Tomoyo and Sakura go back to Twin Bells. Sakura discovers the panda back in Twin Bells. Maki explains the reason for opening the shop, and that her business has been plagued by mysterious happenings; almost forcing her to close down.

Tomoyo and Sakura goes to Sakura's home and informs Kero about the shop. Sakura asks if there are any Clow Cards that collect stuffed toys. Kero says that there are none. Sakura says that Kero should go to Twin Bells and identify if there is an actual Clow Card there. Kero says no at first, but then agrees after.

Kero, Sakura and Tomoyo sneak in. Maki is there and notices Tomoyo. She asks why Tomoyo is there and at such a late hour. Tomoyo says that she wants to know how Maki brews tea--trying to distract Maki.

Kero and Sakura go through all the stuffed toys, trying to find the Clow Card. Kero feels the Clow Card's presence under the table. Sakura looks under and sees the Panda there. The Panda starts rolling away but Sakura catches it. Kero says that the card got away.
