Good episode! Love this dsyfunctional groups of weirdos oh so much! With the reveal of Miho being a Juuto, I'd wager the whole Tsuyoshi-Tsubasa-Miho-Natsumi thing goes something like this:

1) Tsubasa and Natsumi are an engaged couple.
2) A crime happens, forcing Tsubasa to evade the police for an entire year in order to keep Natsumi safe, as promised. (What the crime was, and who this promise was made to is still unknown.)
3) At some point, The Crane Juuto possesses* Natsumi.
4) Since the possession* wipes all memories, the Juuto simply takes on a new idenity as Miho, and the rest is history. (Whether or not she married Tsuyoshi as a convient cover story, or geniunely loves him.....that's something I'm sure Inoue will have fun with later!)

(*I don't think we know if the Juutos possess people or if it's a Worm situation where they shapeshift and replace the victim they killed yet.)

Sorry to budge in, I don't really like people using filler outside its original context (a studio making up original content to waste time so the source material can churn out enough new content for them adapt in) besides.....even ingnoring all the massive reveals, a story like couldn't be filler for Sentai?

Like, I've only seen a few, but the essential aspect of Sentai imo is the sense of a team becoming tight-knit, relying on each other to multiply their strengths and overcome their weaknesses to save the day, right? So every moment spent dedicated to the team getting closer, even if it's a silly story like failing to take care of a sick teammate, is inherently important to the story? That's my personal opinion, of course!
