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. 22/7 make a comeback in front of their fans on 12/24, which is the anniversary of when they formed the group.

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.
