Day is shattered, Sakura calls Madison and tells her she can't come with her to the amusement park. Madison is disappointed but she's okay. Sakura and Kero are home alone and now must tend to a house that's dirty. Sakura does chores listening to the song "Ordinary Girl" (Or do we just hear it?!) and finds the WOOD card under the rug and finds the RAIN card while vacumming (She didn't know because it was covered in ink.) Kero is cranky because he has to do all the laundry and he gets into a bit of trouble while doing it. When he finishes the first load, he becomes happy when Sakura tells him she'll make him something nice to eat.
While Sakura does the dishes, the phone rings and Kero gets it for her. It's Aiden and he says that he forgot his lecture stuff for College. Sakura vollunteers to give it to him at the bus stop and leaves the house with her rollerblading gear and tells Kero that she has to go out for awhile. When she comes back, (A lot was cut out! She goes out with Julian!) she finds Kero asleep on her bed and resolves that he get rewarded for his hard work. Sakura goes downstairs to make Kero something to eat and notices odd noises from the basement.
Trouble's a brewin' and Sakura wakes Kero up and tells him about the noises. She and kero go to the basement and open the door, only to be greeted by a room of branches, roots and tree trunks. Suddenly it started growing and they try to keep it from entering the hallway. "Since when is there a forest in my BASEMENT!?" The trees gain more power as Kero let go of the door and now the branches entangle both Kero and Sakura. Just when things couldn't get any worse, there's a visitor at the door. Sakura and Kero argue and Sakura unwittingly said. "I'm coming!" No they argue some more and the door opens, revealing Madison. (Oh Madison...it's only you...I was worried it was somebody important.)
Madison helps them down and Sakura attempted to seal it and the wood vanished but came back and Wood continued growing. The foliage chased them to the outside and sprouted leaves. (I actually thought it was a little funny) and then it continued to grow. It would destroy the house if they couldn't stop it. Madison got Sakura to change into a cute outfit with a skirt, plumed headband and boots and it was colorful. Sakura crept through the indoor forest and into the basement only to get soaked in knee deep water. "Water?" They walked over to see the cloud raining on the Wood and Sakura and Kero confirmed it was the rain card. Sakura challenged rain and they messed around a bit but Sakura sealed it with the water card by forming a bubble around rain. Then Sakura sealed Wood without any trouble, for it was a gentle spirit. Kero then scolded her about not sealing the cards with her name. Sakura signed her name on both of them.
When Aiden and
Tori come home, they see Sakura sleeping in her room and say thank you
and tell her that they bought cake. Tori warns Aiden that he'd better sign
his name on a piece before Sakura gets to it. Sakura then mumbles. "But
I did sign my...name..." and it shows the Rain and Wood card with a printed
S A K U R A at the bottom.
KERO'S CORNER!!
Kero opens by
greeting us and telling us we're discussing Secret, you and me, inside
info and then he talks about taking a trip around the house to cover all
of the rooms. Then we get his usual closeup and he continues to talk about
Sakura's battle costume and goes on about the wings, the dress and the
other stuff. We then see him at the desk with his pipe and all and he wraps
up the show.

This was a good episode. It not
only showed that Sakura's house will be a major part of the story by showing
all the rooms of it but we see a bit more of Sakura's personality. It is
nothing special though...so it doesn't get an amazing mark.
