It seemed like there was about to be a special end credit sequence with the doctor looking out the window but then it smash cut to the regular one.

Is that just me?

This episode had some prime-cut Chika and Hayasaka moments so I'm satisfied. And the whole "run expensive tests on me drat it" scene had some extra bite for me as an American because the fees for that would be easily six figures.

They sometimes add a little epilogue like this to individual stories. Like last episode for example one of them showed that Kaguya actually read the manga and loved it.

Soundtrack analysis for episode 8

Iino's tirade samples this pretty heavy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3YTyjqlJQ
The confrontation with Kagyua directly after sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
There is of course lots of Mario Kart sound-a-likes as well.
The start of storage locker scene sound's a lot like 90's Elton John's output. Probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsKqMNDoR4o
There's also a sting that I think was used in Italian Spider-Man: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHhXukovMU @:27 when they decide they're tricking each other.
During the collapse I'm fairly certain a variation of this plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA4fXdxPelE But it would be unsurprising if it's not from some weird Japanese medical drama I've never heard of.
And there is some bossa nova song that's probably ripping something else off that I don't know.

Not even that. She was embarrassed to be associated with her mistress. That's why she pleaded with her to stop since she comes to this hospital herself.

We're more and more likely to "Kaguya Wants to Understand Vaporwave" as these music cues get more and more out there.

'Kaguya Wants to Understand musique concrète and wall noise' seems to be a possible direction going forward. Though I do appreciate the Italian score sound-a-likes a lot of that music is really underrated.

1. Osaragi's 'Ehhhhhhhh- *intro plays* -hhhhhhhhhh?'
2. Iino's imagination has better production value than most anime this season.
3. Holy BDSM batman
4. Kaguya's interpretive dance is extremely powerful
5. Holy mortal kombat batman
6. I hope they put Ishigami in drag again someday. He's fairly convincing.

Incidentally, that segment was evidently making a direct reference to this:

It was the same thing with Ishigami in the first season and he's become well developed as a character, and seems to be continuing to do so with what he's doing at the end of this episode. Give it time and the same thing will most likely happen with Iino.

That said, her reaction this time at the end was fantastic. Just, nope, don't want to deal with this right now.

That was an incredible goddamn episode. I was ready to declare it peaked at Peanuts but it just kept getting better. That fighting game scene destroyed me.

When Kaguya slammed her leg down to stop Shirogane from getting up I lost it.
