As a shipper, I'm freaking happy about this episode. Eli being so supportive of Nozomi. Also, that iconic scene of them--HELP. Ahem. Anyway, this episode is more of a Nozomi-focused one. As I said in the previous episodes, Nozomi knew a lot of things because of many reasons, and her background pretty much goes deep, too, just like Nico. This ep shows us the tip of that. Nozomi really had a special place in my heart being the founder of the group, and the very woman who had nudged each one of the members to become school idols. She loves them so much, and she clearly cherishes them. That will be subtly explained as the episode progresses, and you will come to find why Nozomi was adamant about her suggestion, and why Eli was so supportive of it. This also preludes to the birth of one of, if not the most, iconic songs of their group and of the franchise that even after more than a decade is still celebrated within the community (and even outside that). It gives us the grounding understanding of what that song truly was about, as well as the 'love' each member had for each other and the group itself. DEFINITELY A MUST-WATCH!
