Important things that happened

Youkai Snow Woman 妖怪ユキオンナ

Takaharu dresses as a red pepper, which is his former fear, not Kasumi's.
Nagi dresses as a Japanese ghost, Kinji dresses as a zombie, and Yakumo dresses as the ghost of a samurai. Kinji is probably a zombie because it's more western than the other two ghosts.
At the end, Kasumi says she's afraid of a beach, because it's an obvious lie. This mirrors the ending to a rakugo story where a person lies about what they're afraid of so that his enemies can reward him with things he's not actually afraid of.
Yukionna continues to moan "urayamashii/I'm so jealous". This is a pun on traditional ghosts who shout "urameshii/I'm full of hatred, malice, grudge". Since Ninninger is a parody full of puns, we have a snow ghost who's jealous of summer vacation, rather than trying to unleash her hatred onto the world in supernatural ways.

During the ending theme, there's a guess the number of colored fireworks there are. The colors match the colors on the remote for TV's in Japan.
- Blue 4 Red 3 Green 6 Yellow 3
The Ninnin game and ending are changed to summer/movie versions.
A new Drive junction airs after this episode.
