If there wasn't a critical plot point, I would say this episode is a skip since it's mostly retracing the first cour episodes. While I do love when Aoi is being bold, the comment about being the same as Shiro is getting annoying since it's something both her friends and outsiders make comment so there isn't a distinction to people's perception from her inner and outside circle. Not to mention, because as an audience, it is clear that she will fail her gamble, her bold actions makes her more foolish than brave for me so it wasn't an enjoyable experience to witness even if it's to push the plot forward.
