How the tables have turned between the Valvarads. Though Supana was an asshole, Lachesis was outright sadistic villainess who disgusts Supana. Lachesis is now the one attempting to convince Supana to abandon his insane plan. Some pointed out that Supana's plan was stupid because Kamen Riders need Chemies... and they actually addressed it in this episode, which explains Supana's real plan. The genocide of the Chemies remain, but as a way to transmute himself and beat Abyssail Kings, sounds like George in the later parts of Revice, as he aimed to eliminate all superpowers from the world, even at the cost of innocent lives (the Chemies).

Tamami remains in high spirits despite all the chaos and Houtaro's revelation (dunno if the dad would play off Houtaro's own reveal here), and it got her praised by Rinne, though still I feel that Yukimi has played a more impactful and involved role as a mother figure. With memories returning, another character from the past, Asahi, has returned, suggesting that Houtaro should express his feelings in a different way. However, this attempt doesn't succeed, as Supana still insists on following their own path. The main duo almost hitting Kajiki provides a good and funny moment.

In the eventual clash, Rainbow Gotchard didn't destroy Valvarad as hard as Tycoon Bujin Sword did to Buffa Zombie, though on equal footing (both on base form), Houtaro is now able to defeat Supana. However, as usual, Houtaro doesn't thoroughly explain why Supana's path is wrong, other than urging them to stick together, like how humans (as Houtaro has clearly encountered, like those thugs) can be just awful rather than solely blaming Chemies, and that addressing human issues is equally important. Houtaro simply shares his desires, much like in Revice when Ikki confronted Daiji, expressing his wish for everyone's happiness.

The Abyssail Kings have always disregarded the dolls, so it was only a matter of time before Gaelijah would really harm the Dark Sisters. Now, she has disposed of Clotho and subjected Atropos to pain in order to turn her into the perfect being. It was unexpected to see Geryon, who appears to be a villain of the Isaac, Orteca, or Agariyama type, genuinely loving Atropos as a daughter. This has led him to become an ally of convenience, much like Kuroto and Daichi (who are also really horrible), to join forces with the heroes to save her. It's possible that some might interpret this as Geryon being 'redeemed', which is frustrating to me.
