Unexpectedly, Meilin has to return home. Li shrugs it off saying Meilin only gets in the way anyway, and this upsates Meilin. Upset that Meilin might leave with the conflict with Li unresolved, Sakura clumsily invites Meilin for a sleepover. During the sleepover, Meilin reveals (through flashback) that she and Li have been training together with the mater Wei forever and that what's really unresolved is her bona fide membership in the cardcaptor team. Sakura tries to convince her otherwise, but not until the Twin Card capture is underway does Meilin get the recognition she yearns for. She leaves for home smiling, with a promise to return.

It is the morning at school. Meilin walks in sad because she is to leave for home because her grandmother is ill. While Sakura continues to be willing to be friends, despite Meilin's continued rudeness to her, Sakura invites Meilin over to her house and Meilin accepts. Li is rather unsympathetic towards Meilin, telling her she isn't needed to capture the Clow Cards, which hurts her. That night, at Sakura's house, Meilin tells Sakura of when she and Li were little and they were training. One day, Meilin lost her bird and Li was able to return it to her, apparently his kind act to Meilin which allowed her to like him. Meilin always wanted to be a cardcaptor, but now thinks she's only been getting in the way, especially after Li's comments. Sakura tries to disprove Meilin's thought with previous experiences against Clow Cards, then Sakura's senses interrupt, outside, a Clow Card begins trouble. Sakura and Madison are ready to go, but Meilin is hesitant. Sakura however forces Meilin to come with them. Meanwhile, the Twin Card is beating Li when Sakura, Meilin, and Madison show up. Sakura and Li make efforts to capture the Twin card, all failing. Sakura gets the idea that since Meilin has trained with Li her entire life, she knows all his moves and therefore, she and Li could beat the Twin card, at the same time. Together in unison, Meilin and Li combat the Twin Card successfully enabling its capture. Li tells Meilin that he never thought she was really in the way, settling their dispute. The next day at the airport, Meilin leaves promising to return.
