So, I didn't mention it before because I wasn't 100% certain, and after rewatching it I'm still not sure... but I think the joke is that ZECT brought him to the building they were interrogating Tendou in from 06. When Goro starts laughing, Kagami looks to the entrance of the building, and that's when he realizes they aren't at ZECT HQ. I think he recognizes the entrance from when he busted in to save Tendou. That's why Goro's laughing at Kagami; Kagami forgot that he busted into this place and it's not ZECT's headquarters!

I'm not a huge fan of the Worms as a monster faction and I think this episode did a good job of highlighting some of my issues with them. We got some pretty decent character work with WorMisaki (love it - always a fan of a good portmanteau) and we're starting to get a good sense of Veil Lady Whose Name I Don't Remember. This stands out to me because it feels like it's been a long time since we got much characterization out of a Worm. For a species of shapeshifters, it feels like we mostly just see them as silent brutes. I'd love to see more things like the hesitant WorMisaki or the little boy from the Gatack premiere.

The show is definitely delving more into the symbiosis of when the Worms dupe somebody, which I find fascinating (it leads to so many more cool twists), thematically-rich (you can be your own worst enemy sometimes), and probably foreshadowing (I got theories about Tendou!). It's way more compelling if they aren't just mindless killers or mute monsters.
