Especially when you consider that this will be the final season for the anime, so they can't follow the novels strictly.
Overall, I liked this episode very much... seeing the "gang" back together after 4 years was awesome. Honestly, I couldn't stop smilling for the first 5 minutes of the episode.
I haven't read the novels after volume 11, so I don't really mind about characters popping up before they time in the novels... I only hope that JC will make a good ending for the anime.
