No, that part was right before they went to meet him. Trust me, I know all parts that involve Ran by heart (though I might remember some of them backwards, but I'm pretty sure it's not the case).

I think the anime will omit that part for two reasons: first, the episode will cover a lot of action, thus they could have trimmed down the non-action parts to cram as much action as possible into it. Second, it might be harder (that is, more expensive) to animate characters in different outfits.

I actually have concerns about the next episode's pacing if they want to include all fights involving the four demons, even Lubbock vs Sten and Mez, which was rather long.
