This episode draws parallels between Tohru and Momiji, on the first anniversary of her mother's death. He has also lost his mother, in the sense that she was so traumatized by giving birth to a member of the zodiac (an apparently common reaction), she had Hatori erase her memory. Momiji, however, wants to keep all his memories good and bad. Tohru tearfully hugs him and resolves to do the same. And of course they have somewhat similar personalities: cheerful and accepting and energetic, despite the tragedies they've gone through.
One thing I wonder about, and I don't recall if this is explained in the manga, Shigure is shown sketching a woman who looks like a younger version of Momiji's mother (see above). What is the connection? Or is it just an odd detail?
