Referbacks

 * The scene of Mitori kidnapping Uiharu and Mikoto's mother from  is used as flashback when Mikoto thinks when her friends remember that incident.
 * Just like the, the scene of Mikoto telling the Shokuhou Misaki's Clique members to move from  is used as flashback when she again remembers the aliteration of memories of her friends on her participation in the second day of Daihaseisai.
 * Scenes of Dolly and Misaki from  is used as flashback, thinking of memories with Dolly after seeing her again in her new body.

Differences in Adaptation

 * In the episode, food packs were given to Mitori after she gets locked up, but originally, there are none in the manga.
 * Mitori's attack at the Windowless Building is anime-original, as the manga just skips it, meaning the readers has no idea on how she attacked the building.
 * The scene in Judgment 177 Branch Office in the second half of the episode, where Mikoto and friends celebrate Kuroko's recovery from her injuries is anime-original.
 * The scene in the car with Misaki and Mitori on their way to retrieve Dolly's new body is anime-original.
 * Dolly's reunion with Mitori at the start has added some small details, such as Mitori pinching Dolly's nose and the latter stretching her cheeks like before, as well as Dolly clutching her stomach as the scars were there, to ensure a much more impactful reunion. The same reunion scene in the manga does not have these small details.

Animation Trivia

 * Just like the, this episode starts with the OP before the episode proper, which is unusual for Railgun and by extension, Index anime adaptations.
 * The scene of Mitori and Misaki from  is reused in this episode, albeit extended.
