I wanted to pick up this issue immediately following the events of the Halloween party. Originally I had planned to have a Misumi/Hiro section in BCBC 2, but there ended up being so much Tara stuff I wanted to do, and I ended up cutting this out and replacing it with what ended up being Lisa's story. In the end I think that worked out for the best and made more sense for that story.
For this issue I used the section I removed from that comic and used it to start off this issue. Then I was able to expand on the the other things I wanted to do featuring Misumi and Hiro (and a few guest appearances).
