Original summary
After the eight members of 22/7 gather and confirm their love for the group again, the Wall, which had been silent since the disbandment press conference, starts to speak again. The Wall reveals that 22/7 and its activities had been an experiment, and that it had been observing the members all this time. The experiment was now moving on to the next phase, and 22/7 had served its purpose so they were no longer necessary. The members are infuriated that both they and the fans had been exploited. However, Nicole is the only one to plead to keep the group together.
What happens in the episode
This episode advances the idol-project mystery by putting the group under another demand from the agency-and-Wall system. In PopRot terms, the important movement is not only the task itself, but how the girls process being turned into performers before they feel emotionally ready.

However, Nicole is the only one to plead to keep the group together.
The key viewing angle is the gap between public idol polish and private discomfort. The show keeps asking whether a group created by orders can become a real unit once the members start seeing one another’s fears, histories, and strengths.
Watch or skip?
Watch. 22/7 is character-forward, so even setup-heavy episodes matter for understanding later group tension. Completionists should also watch the extra episode because it closes the anime experience as bonus material.
