Not a bad flashback episode for a yuri show supposedly full of cliches, eh?
Too bad the flashback took only 1 ep to resolve, and Yaya was the only other character to make a cameo in the flashback (she was a 1st year then 2 years ago). They should've shown us a younger Chikaru and Amane (both in their 3rd year 2 years ago), as well as the origins of the Evil Lesbian Duo (TM) as well.
