During filming for a school production, in which Julian plays a character with a secret identity, Julian collapses during the final scene. When Tori tries to confront Julian to tell him about his real secret identity, Ruby once again tries to interrupt but Tori locks her out of the room, determined to find out the truth. As Yue reveals himself to Tori he explains that he is growing weak and that is why Julian is always so tired. Tori offers to give up his magical powers to help Yue stay alive, but makes Yue promise that he will protect Sakura now that Tori will be unable to sense when she is in danger.

And then...

Sakura attends the premiere of Julian and Tori's movie and is shocked to realise the connection between the plots of the film and real life, but when she and Julian become trapped in one of the exhibits at the festival, she and Yue have to work together to find the source of the disturbances. Sakura and Yue become separated while tracing the source of the magic and Sakura discovers that Eli is the cause of the disturbances, but he uses his magical powers to overpower Sakura, making her forget what she has found out.

Ruby: C'mon class, let's get a move on. We got to finish shooting the rest of the scenes today. Where's my assistant director? Are the costumes ready for the extras?
Student: Uh, not yet
Ruby: What are you waiting for, move it! (edit)
Tori: Julian, no more games. You must reveal yourself to me.

Julian transforms right in front of Tori as Yue

Julian: So we finally meet. What's your name?
Yue: Yue. It wasn't easy concieving my true indentity from you. You have the gift, the same powers that your sister has. I believe you sensed that she has had them for some time now.
Tori: You and Sakura will need my help now won't you?
Yue: Well you certainly have seen what's been happening to Julian haven't you?
Tori: Yes.
Yue: I am growing weaker and he is struggling.
Tori: I will give you all the powers that I have if you think it will help.
Yue: You won't be able to see the Spirit World again.
Tori: I'm willing to accept that if I must. But if I am to lose all my powers, I won't be able to sense if Sakura is in trouble anymore. You must promise me you'll protect her.
Yue: Do not worry about that. My duty is to keep her from harms way.
Tori: If you do this, I expect you to make good use of my powers. I don't want to lose my best friend.
Yue: Are these the conditions of your transferal of powers to me?
Tori: Yes they are.

Yue pauses for a moment

Yue: It's time Julian knows.
: smiling happily Glad to hear you'll finally know what's been going on.

Yue has taken his powers. (edit)
About Sakura in the movie
