I'm not quite fond of this episode actually due to the first half of the episode. Gorou's friends from his team seems to be lacking in characterization and it is quite distasteful to see that they back to their original personality in this episode even though I though they already handled that part quite effectively in one of the previous episodes. The only saving grace in this episode for me seems to be how the episode showed the relationship of Gorou and his new and old friends that he met during the training arc.
