This episode felt tighter than the previous one and aligns more closely with the typical Gavv suff, IMO.

Shoma and Hanto’s simultaneous need to hide their identities expands to include concerns that the other could get caught up in the destruction of their Rider fights. It becomes increasingly difficult to keep their identities a secret, especially when they’re in danger and must henshin instead of letting each other escape. When Shoma’s actions blow their cover, he proves to be the quicker one to fold between the two; he’s more of a 'pushover,' often choosing the path that de-escalates the situation. In contrast, Hanto openly expresses his frustration and is bolder in his decisions.

Sachika being a 'snoop' is addressed here, with Hanto actually pleading with her to search for the kindergarten, her claiming as an expert on it, and she did find the location. I feel the best clue is the drag marks left by Granute Yard when moving the kindergarten, as they can follow after it, otherwise, her and Shoma might be seen as getting the wrong address. Her taking a picture of Shoma provides good evidence for Hanto that Shoma is safe, while Shoma already knows from her that Hanto asked about him earlier.

A new trait of Glotta is revealed, as she apparently disapproves of Nyelv's scheming, despite him being the researcher for Stomach Inc. Nyelv’s lack of enthusiasm for Valen implies it's something deliberately orchestrated by him. Additionally, Nyelv claiming he can’t wait for the new report, coupled with Suga having footage of Gavv and Valen’s fight with Granute Yard and knowing that Gavv is a Granute, make it likely that the report will implicate Gavv as a Granute, likely to be said report to be given to Nyelv, would further raise viewer suspicion about Suga being likely Nyelv’s partner.

Granute Yard targets children because they're more likely to be happy, as they're likely less jaded than adults about the world due to having less knowledge about it. So children is also an easy target for Stomach Inc., not about them being smaller and weaker, but about their innocence, seeking happy people. Hanto'd think it's the former, likely not understanding what Granute Yard means about them being premium product to be delivered due to their happiness, unlike Shoma who'd fully know about the Dark Treats and his siblings' business.

Hanto might think they are easy targets because of their size, likely not understanding what Granute Yard means about them being premium product to be delivered due to their happiness, while Shoma is more aware of the implications surrounding the Dark Treats and his siblings’ business.

So far, the Gurucan form is performing better than the other Gavv forms, other than being the only one to resist the Twins' new weapon, here it's the only one that can break the Granute Yard's shell. I wonder if there'd be something that Gurucan can't do, but what other forms can do better. Bakucan Blast is a pretty sick finisher, unleashing various types of weapons for a powerful energy blast, reminiscent of Zolda’s Final Vent, my favorite finisher from KR Ryuki. So Gavv is also another series to feature a gigantic MOTW, like Takebe's previous series Geats, but not on the very first episode. And though it's claimed all the kids are safe, only Kirari was shown to be freed onscreen, unlike ep. 5 where all compressed civilians are freed onscreen.

The preview for the next episode teases Lango finally making his move, with a large number of civilians seemingly in danger. This kind of scenario typically occurs later in the series, like Adel's Project Demia in Ghost or Gaelijah exposing the Chemies to the public in Gotchard. If it's true, then once again Gavv moves really fast.

I mean, the Agents don't have belly mouths right?

My expectation or hope for George in Revice was him making a live Kamen Rider show in real life without regard for the casualties, as long as he can live and realize his dream/enthusiasm, backing up both the Riders and the monsters so fights will happen.
