Looks like this episode took a deep dive into Himari's feelings, like literally.

They also wanted to build more into Himari/Aoi's relationship together as well. Nothing too complex but from her perspective, it's sort of a character study. Honestly feels like the episode did a decent job as she faces her inner self.

Not gonna lie, I might want to have fun in that mirror world for a bit before coming back to real world.

Totally didn't expect the confession at the end.

I’ve decided to drop this show as of today. I don’t feel like the anime has given us any reason for Himari to be in love with Aoi aside from her having abandonment issues and becoming codependent on Aoi. Each week it’s felt like the overall story has moved at a glacial pace while giving us monsters of the week (like 90’s Sailor Moon) to fill the time slots. While the animation is great most of the time, the storytelling sucks.

WE GOT A CONFESSIONNNN (*≧∀≦*)
So the mirror did work… it showed her her parents (;-;) poor Himari. I’ve seen this kind of thing done in a couple animes, but it always makes me sad. It’s really cruel to play with her emotions like that.
If anything, it warps her memories of them, which is much worse than just letting them ago, in my opinion. Making her think she was safe by using Hikari, Ise, and Aoi’s faces were a whole other level of twisted.

I love the concept that the mirror reflects the hearts desires, but it’s not quite right. “Mirrors are like snakes. They are deceitful.” Mirrors invert images, if it carries that logic over because it’s cursed too, naturally it would invert or warp the desires of those who look into it.
On the other hand, I’m still highly skeptical of Nachi-sensei. He seems like a character that’ll get in the way later on or knows something about Momochi that he shouldn’t. Surely the mirror being there isn’t merely coincidence, right?

Sooo as of today, I just decided to drop this show. It's just such a poor adaptation of the original manga but even so, Aoi and Himari just dont have any chemistry whatsoever. Aoi is also such a boring character, it's like he doesn't have any personality outside Himari. Wanna be Kamisama Hajimemashita but without the good parts.

A deep dive into Himari's heart, and at least she knows that the world she was in wasn't real.

The confession at the end came out of nowhere. I thought it would come way later but hey, she went for it.

WAIT NO WAY WE GOT A CONFESSION ALREADY??!!!!! I was not expecting things to progress this fast! Kinda crazy when you think about it only being a few weeks since Himari moved into the house.. I mean we know it shoujo so they were always gonna get together, but still. Things definitely progressing fast

Wonder how Aoi will respond next episode. I’m sure he’ll shoot her down, but how will everyone react

An ending... after a confession? Damn it. Please don't let Aoi say "I know that, I love you too, we're family after all" or something like that in the next episode....

This is shoujo, so now they will be going at it like rabbits...

Speaking of shoujo and rabbits, how come we don't have a cute animal ayakashi pet yet?

Well, it seems that this episode REALLY wants to push Aoi and Himari's ship SO HARD. I mean, there was some chemistry between the two before, but nothing as substantial as this, allowing an ancient looking mirror to peer deep into her heart. And within a look, she gets delved into another realm of endless routes being chased by her undead parents in Momochi House.

Thankfully, there is both Yukari and Ise to protect her...or is that true that they're really shielding her? And true as indeed, they were not real, and Aoi ended up saving her in true fashion. Even then, they're still repatriations of the looking mirror surrounding Momochi House, testing Himari of her resolve towards Aoi, which once again, is Kasha's manipulation of the desires of her heart. Thankfully, Himari is able to make it back to reality...and reconfirm her feelings for Aoi with a sudden confession.

I can't even deny that this adaptation just sucks, only decent animation is holding this up. And then again, this is a Shoujo series, so the romance tag is needlessly sucked down to our throats.
