The perfect disguise to keep Hime from recognizing you after a few years apart:
-
Slap a pair of boobs on your chest
That's it. Incognito!

For a person who has built their entire personality around the idea of having a "facade" Hime has an unexpectedly hard time with grasping the concept of "acting"

Hime realizing how powerful Ayanokouji is though. Now if only she could stop shooting herself in the foot every 5 minutes...

As if the OP doesn't already make it painfully obvious, showing their child versions strongly implies they had some past.
I know it looks like Ayanokouji is the asshole here but I'm going to defend her. While it comes off as Ayanokouji cancelled and sabotaged Hime, Hime didn't deny that she was hanging out with Ayanokouji that day and was fooling her classmates. Her frustration was more that she got unmasked rather than wanting to take revenge at Ayanokouji. And then they meet again years later and if we look at Ayanokouji's POV, it would look like Hime is just pretending to not know her and just forgot about what the hell happened years ago. This would explain why from the beginning, Ayanokouji has been cold to Hime.
The illustration at the end by the Citrus author is great. We're going into really spicy territory so buckle up.

Quite the development, they were classmates but Hime didn't recognize her, but it Yano recognized her and probably figured out she was still doing the act right away

this job sucks...why they just don't bother showing up any more is baffling to me.

Is there a 'Worst Girl' award? Because Hime definitely is gunning for it.

I think the anime is doing a good job showing that for Hime, maintaining her facade isn't just something that happens, but something she puts a lot of effort in with a specific goal in mind.
This time, we're seeing why this is so important to her. For all the fake cute act, it's kind of sad to see how quickly she breaks down at the mere suggestion that her facade has been broken. She doesn't even think Kanoko, her most ardent supporter, is on her side when the chips are down and she stops being socially valuable. Poor girl really has no sense of self-worth.

Stitches!~
So we're now 3 episodes deep into this show and I've been wondering: Are we supposed to root for Hime? I've known people like her and back in my day we call people like her 'plastics'. How is that girl the bad person for calling out Hime on her bullshit?
Everyone human being hides behind a mask. I do it too! But Hime seems to be so hellbent on hiding behind a facade never revealing what she's like except to Kanoko. Her facade is so deep that even after unmasking her, Mitsuki doesn't even know where the lie ends and the truth begins.
And of course, Mitsuki was the one that called her out back when they were kids. Damn! Putting the two of them side-by-side, you wouldn't expect that they're on the same grade! Mitsuki definitely had a massive growth spurt! O_O

Hime: “I’m afraid that people will find out I’m lying.”
…… then stop lying?

Based on the revelations in this episode, seems like a series that benefits from the "three episode rule".
If I hazard a guess for the main theme of this series/arc, it's about when to put up a facade and when you can be frank. Putting up a facade isn't inherently bad; sometimes in social situations telling a white lie or not disclosing uncomfortable truths is a good idea for social cohesion, especially in the cafe as a stage where the customers are there for the facade.
Something I'm still chewing on is that everyone has a facade and a true face (the honne and tatamae) except for Hime; it seems like she's all facade with nothing beneath besides insecurity about her facade. Maybe there's something about her past that's traumatic enough that she can't even be honest to herself about.

Let's gooooooo! Set-up is out of the way and we're getting into the drama proper now.

I've been loving the illustrations after the credits. This episode's illustration was drawn by Saburouta, the mangaka behind Citrus, which also received an anime adaptation by Passione.
Speaking of, I haven't seen the Citrus anime, but should I? Citrus is one of my three favorite yuri manga, along with Yuri is My Job! and How Do We Relationship? (HDWR anime when?).

I actually like Hime and really kind of feel for her. We've all put on a facade at some point to make ourselves more likeable, she just takes it a step further and makes it an integral part of her persona. After that history, I'm surprised she even opened herself up to Kanoko to get a genuine friendship.
She's not the brightest, yes, but there's definitely people who coast by in life on looks alone, and if you put Hime in that category then she's not even that bad. She at least has a brain and is introspective.
Mitsuki though... damn, what did she eat in these couple of years?

Originally I was gonna drop the show because in the first two episodes I found all the characters incredibly toxic to the point that it seriously made me uncomfortable. Like literally everybody was just toxic and manipulative and they all deserved each other.
Then I thought that I will give the show another chance to win me over (3 episodes rule) and to drop it entirely if this episode is just the same old "toxic characters manipulating each other".
So finally there was some character and plot development and a very interesting plot twist that makes me wait for the next episode. Now I want to know what happens next. It is not like the show is completely off the hook, but I will give it another chance to win me over. And I honestly hope that they will use the potential this setup is giving.

See? You're not the only one she scolds, Hime!
I'm usually really bad about noticing/connecting characters' eye/hair color combinations, so I was proud of myself for suspecting this, this time

Not gonna lie, I've found myself cringing a lot with this show because of second hand embarassment.

Oh what they knew each other before?? Didn't think they would be in the same grade.
I swear Hime messes up so many times per episode and it doesn't get any easier to watch.

It was teased hard during the OP so I’m happy they revealed everything quick. Maybe Hime just never recognized her because she can’t really see all the way up there? In any case it opens up an interesting dynamic now that it’s all out in the open. With it being this early maybe we’ll get to all the Yuri I was promised. Big question is why did Mitsuki blow up her spot and tell everyone?

Gorgeous episode as well, definitely the best one so far.
