Sure, the writer can write it that way but it won't be true to the character. Proving that she can be independent & get things done to her mom has always been Yukino's goal. Sooner or later, Yukino will have to confront her mother in a situation like this. And sooner or later, 8-man also have to decide how to act his feelings towards Yukino even if she "reject him" in a way. So, this prom is actually a good event to develop their characters.

The point with Yukino is that she had almost no character development at all. She opened up to people a bit, yeah, but that's about it.
Other than that, you might as well remove her from the story and still get a decent result with just Iroha and Yui being around.

Eh, If you rewatch Yukino from the early episodes of Oregairu and compare it to this one, you can see that she has come a long way. Character development doesn't have to be drasticly different from where the character started. It can be little but keep it going, constant & on-point, not just for the sake of it (which is the opposite of anime like Ranma/Inuyasha. Those shows need faster & more drastic development).

it was rather clear early on that Yui's half hearted attempts guaranteed an Yukinon ending.

my memory is a bit too hazy to remember that Shizuka joke but that very much a thing he'd say.

Yukino in prom?

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

[Kanon]

This episode was pretty funny and mostly drama-free, which makes it one of the best episode of the season. Hachiman was in top shape. This episode made me realize it's his interactions with Yukino and Yui that have become dull (particularly Yukino), with anyone else he's fun.

[Psyco Diver]

So rap battle, yep I want expecting that. That said Yui is best girl

[Master_Yoma]

Well it see Hachiman start a raping out of nowhere but that other guy really dropped some mad rhymes

[Wandering Soul]

Meme hands man delivered on the fun I was expecting. This was easily the most fun episode of the season.

Hachiman described Iroha to a T when he was talking to the gaming club.

8-man is the one man to have beaten Bane in freestyle.

I think that says something more about Hachiman than it does about Yukino and Yui.

It's clear that his head is more clear when the problem is not about himself or his own circle.

And what happened to Yukino and Yui between now and the first season? They grew close enough that they're now a part of him.

The rap battle was awesome. They should do a cross over with Kaguya so they can know the terror that is President Shirogane.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

The rap-battle is indeed awesome but I'm still somewhat puzzled whether it's supposed to really happen or just symbolic of 8-man's argument with Handwave-man . But damn this episode is enjoyable.

Oregairu has always been a dramatic show. The premise alone promise you a drama whenever 8-man have to solve a case .

It's actually the opposite for me. 8-man's interaction with Yuki is the most interesting because just from listening on their tone of voice (especially Yukino's), you can feel the most warmth & fun coming from Yukinon when talking to 8-man on that bench scene compared to their previous idle talks. The funny topic of their convo is the icing on the cake.

Meanwhile, 8-man interaction with others are always fun. It's part of the premise & part of his character. Speaking of others, this episode sure have cemented how much the Ex-girl & Handwave-man have become a pair of clowns on discussion table, almost on the level of Jesse & James .

[AC-Phoenix]

Honestly... When I saw Yui making a video of the rap battle, the first thing that occured to me was that her "move" would be blackmailing Hachiman into the relationship.

In any event, the moment Yui took her phone out, I could see Hachiman rue it later.

Zeroxseed's crossover between Kaguya-sama and Oregairu is top notch as an example.

[Kanon]

Haruno really oversold her mother. Haruno herself is a lot harder to deal with, her mother's personality is actually closer to Yukino's, I'd say. Hachiman said he never wanted to see her again (tough luck), but she left a pretty good impression on me. It was never personal for her, she just did it on behalf of the other parents. She's actually really reasonable.

[Klashikari]

Don't forget that Hachiman had to guilt trip her. If it wasn't for that incident, it is very likely Hachiman would have had way more trouble to parley with her regarding the prom.
I would say she is fairly harder to deal with than Haruno on even footing, whereas the latter actually listen at times even if she has her usual sarcastic/passive agressive stance. Pretty much the reason why Hachiman immediately stated he'd rather not meet their mom ever again, which is much more clear cut compared to his first interactions with Haruno.

We are going to get more Yui rejection aren't we? I am not surprised at this rate.

That's pretty much been just about all of Yui's scenes up till now.

[Psyco Diver]

As much as I want Yui to win, but Yukino giving it away to Yui pretty much sealed the deal for Yukino to win in the end. Nothing against Yukino but her and 8-man together would be a rather dull sarcastic couple where Yui would be a nice contrast to Hachiman's personality.

[Master_Yoma]

Well that is some card Hachiman pulled out there
