Sakura and the Crazy Sweets is the seventeenth episode of season 1 of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. In this episode, Sakura and her friends visit a new sweets shop that Sakura's brother, Toya, has recommended. While there, they encounter a strange old woman who runs the shop, who asks Sakura to help her find her lost cat. Meanwhile, Akiho continues to have strange dreams that seem to be connected to Sakura's magical powers.

As the group searches for the old woman's cat, they discover that the shop is filled with magical confections that cause strange effects when eaten. Sakura and Tomoyo try a variety of sweets, from candy that causes them to sing uncontrollably to cakes that turn them into animals. Despite the chaos caused by the sweets, the group persists in their search for the cat, aided by the helpful magic of Sakura's cards.

As the episode progresses, Akiho's dreams become more vivid and troubling. She sees visions of a girl who looks like Sakura, and hears her own voice chanting a mysterious incantation. These dreams coincide with Sakura's growing awareness of a new magical presence in the city, which seems to be connected to her own magic. Sakura worries that she may be unknowingly causing harm with her powers, and resolves to investigate further.

In the end, the group finds the old woman's cat and returns it to her, earning her gratitude and some delicious treats in return. Sakura remains troubled by the strange magic she has encountered, and wonders what new challenges lie ahead for her and her friends.
