Ichijou in love! I was quite surprised at who her paramour was but then again this is PPD and it’s Ichijou we’re talking about.

I hate spammers. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let me know. I’m AFK intermittently for the next 10 days.
The episode starts in the middle, jump to the front as well as cutting in scenes from 1-D but revolving around the central theme of the 1-C bus hanging over a cliff edge a la the Italian Job’s cliffhanger finale. The scene transitions make use of freezing the closing scene as a page on a book and then flipping the page to the next scene.
The school cafeteria is closed as the cook is away on business (as is the headmaster… coincidence, I think not!). Becky has to find an alternative source for lunch. Hilarity and much Big Sisterly Rei behaviour ensues.
Becky is teaching remedial summer classes but some of the girls who passed join in the class anyway. Momotsuki Academy is then invaded by a motley crew of challengers who are led by a bullman, ninja girl and giant. Hilarity and much destruction of property ensues.
This episode centres on the theme of dreams. In the first half, Becky is confronted by the realization that she does not have a dream. In the second half, due to alien interference, the gang gets transported into Himeko’s dream. It works quite well as the Japanese word for “dream” also has the dual connotations of the English word. There’s also plenty of delicious cruelty among the girls as a result.
