The seven stars is mainly because there isn't anything amazing in terms of performance or camerawork or anything... probably the biggest creative statement is the debut of Lee Webber's new haircut, where they've gotten rid of the greasy-kid-stuff 50's motorcycle rebel look (it is June 1967 after all, the Summer of Love is occurring!).

BUT: the script does a major left turn in this episode--totally giving an alternate explanation to Rachel's backstory that flips our understanding of both her and Chandler...and it also finally reveals how the two of them interacted with Alison (Mia Farrow's character). No spoilers here--but the synopsis here on IMDB kinda already gives everything away. While this pretty largely upends what the viewer has thought was going on with these characters, the reveal DOES kind of work--so kudos to that. I cannot say though if this plot twist was always planned, or if they felt the need to rewrite things due to outside factors going on with Leigh Taylor-Young...
