Trivia

 * Callbacks to previous Love Live! series:
 * Kasumi gives Shizuku a wake-up call but, unlike both Umi Sonoda and Mari Ohara who use slaps, Kasumi uses a bait-and-switch punching fist before turning it into a flick.
 * Kasumi applauds Shizuku's theater performance in vein to Honoka Kosaka clapping to Maki Nishikino playing Aishiteru Banzai! in Come True! Our Dreams!.
 * This Episode marks the very first animated appearance of Misaki Shidou and Himeno Ayanokouji from Touou Academy.
 * Shizuku's dog Ophelia also made her appearance, though as one of the stills.
 * The episode's climax also serves as an homage to the theater performances seen in Revue Starlight.
