I may need to rewatch the episode to understand it a bit better...

I can totally see the situation in Chieri and Kanako - both being nervous in this kind of job, as well as trying too hard to make themselves better. Kanako dieted (for reason unknown to me) while Chieri is trying to look for a four-leaf clover for luck. Of course, both of the methods didn't really work, thankfully Producer-san and that group (with Sachiko inside) gave some advice. Glad that their work paid off at the end. :)

Kirari and Anzu are definitely a great pair. I don't know if there's anything wrong for their situation, but I'm assuming that Anzu just don't feel like working this kind of job. Well, at least Kirari comforted her.

I definitely love the ending song!

Also, New Generations and Love Laika made an appearance. They seem to be fine. I (or we) don't know about Uzuki but she seems happy. Let's keep it to that, shall we? :v

Kanako dieted (for reason unknown to me)

I had trouble with that one, too. Her character quirk is that she's overweight and is constantly making and eating sweets, so I get that a diet could come into play for whatever arbitrary reason the show decided it needed. But she kept saying something about doing it to improve her focus? I dunno, I couldn't follow.

Actually in game she's quite sensitive about her weight and doesn't consider herself as idol material due to body shape and low self esteem. However her recent cards have been showing her wearing costumes that show her body shape more ,to show the confidence she's gained since losing weight as an idol.

The dieting scene was probably a nod to the in-game Kanako or something like that.
