I'd give it an 8/10, same as #3 and #4.
I'm a bit torn. While it was a good episode for character interaction and I liked how they tied in the volume 5 plot, as well foreshadowed and used stuff from volume 6, I rather enjoyed the spin-off chapter being from Kouta's point of view. We also got a bit more of Sumire's character in the spin-off than we did in this episode.
As of this episode, I'm fine with an anime original ending or an adaptation of however the novel will end. I think the writers working on Toradora seem to have the characters down pretty well and have shown themselves to be able to use the characters and inspiration from the novels to write good original episodes.
