This episode gives us new faces as well as establish friendships that has been forged previously. I guess the aim was to progress the characterization of our heroine as she learns not dismiss something just because she knows nothing about it. And it is quite adorable to watch her go through the process, it makes her more likable the more she acknowledges the lesson being taught. It also looks like there is more to this than her having a new social life. Whether it will open a new direction for the series or just follow the same old one, this should be an exciting development for the viewers, tuning in for more.
