* DramaticIrony: Shiori realizes her attempt to hurt Juri by "stealing" that boy worked for the wrong reason. It wasn't because Juri loved the boy, it was because Juri loved ''Shiori''.
to:
* EerilyOutOfPlaceObject: Shiori, already creeped out by signs that someone broke into her
* GivenNameReveal: Shiori is officially introduced this episode. While she figured prominently in episode 7, she was flashback-only and unnamed until now.
* HiddenDisdainReveal: Despite going through the episode talking about her respect and affection for Juri
* HerOwnWorstEnemy: Shiori ruined her relationship with Juri because
* IKissYourHand: Mamiya pricks his finger on the rose he is preparing. Mikage [[WoundLicking kisses his injury]], suggesting that Mamiya deliberately hurt himself to provoke a reaction from him. Mamiya pointedly doesn't deny it.
* IgnoredExpert: The student council holds a sort of mini-hearing, interviewing Miki about having his soul sword taken in episode 15. Miki correctly deduces that there is a third party interfering in the dueling game which represents a threat to them, but Nanami is dismissive and victim-blamey about it, intimating that Miki should have fought Kozue off.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Juri calls Utena "cruelly innocent" when she inserts herself in Juri and Shiori's business. Utena takes umbrage at this, but when she discusses the situation with Akio, he agrees.
--> '''Akio:''' You're like Ganymede, the youth of Aquarius: innocent and pure. But that innocence can hurt people. You should be careful.
* InternalReveal: Shiori finds out what is inside Juri's locket but the audience doesn't get to see her reaction; the action jumps from her finding the locket to the aftermath where she goes to the Mikage Seminar, assumedly to try to work through her feelings. Based on her confession monologue, she knows what is in the locket before she opens it on-screen.
* ItsAllJunk: Juri throws her locket in a pond after resolving to put her feelings for Shiori behind her.
* LuminescentBlush: Miki turns red up to his ears when Nanami asks him what it felt like to have his soul sword pulled.
Added DiffLines:
* OminouslyOpenDoor: Shiori returns to her dorm room to find the door standing wide open, but there's no sign of anyone inside.

** The episode opens on Juri in the rose garden mooning over Shiori. She starts at the sight of a single petal falling from an orange rose; a hint that her love troubles are about to become real and present.

Added DiffLines:
* SilentTreatment: Juri gives Shiori the cold shoulder when she first reaches out to her, but quickly relents when Shiori begs for a chance to talk.
* SillySimian: Chu-Chu engages in some classic monkey-see-monkey-do while Utena and Anthy observe Juri at fencing club practice, waving around a tiny pretend sword.
* UncoolUndies: In the shadow play, C-ko fears discovery of her embarrassing secret: she wears woolen underwear (and three pairs, no less!) Despite assurances that wearing woolen underwear isn't that weird (well, 3 pairs at once is pretty weird) she's still certain that no one will be interested in her anymore. It parallels Juri's discomfort with her feelings for Shiori, and he fear of rejection if she admits to her attraction.
