Naoko informs Sakura and her friends of an encounter with a strange phantom in the woods behind the school. The girls investigate, encountering it as well, but all of them claim their saw something different. Sakura, Kero, and Tomoyo later return to the woods, where the phantom materialises as the ghost of Sakura's late mother Nadeshiko. However, it lures Sakura off a cliff, but she is rescued by Yukito, who comments that her mother would never put Sakura in danger. Sakura confronts the entity a second time, realising it is a Clow Card, which she seals, the culprit identified as the Illusion Card. Toya, who can see ghosts, sees his mother's spirit watching over Sakura.
