Important things that happened

Aruto and Is meet the leading representatives of A.I.M.S.: Yaiba Yua and Fuwa Isamu.
Because of the Berotha Magear's attacks at the amusement park in the previous episode, Hiden Intelligence is under investigation by A.I.M.S..
Jin is revealed to be a member of Metsuboujinrai.net, a terrorist group of rogue Humagears intent on destroying humanity.
In contrast to Aruto's love for Humagears, Fuwa harbors a deep hatred for Humagears. Fuwa recalls a tragic event where as a child, he witnessed numerous Humagears going on a rampage.
Upon forcibly opening the Shooting Wolf Progrise Key, Fuwa transforms into Kamen Rider Vulcan and destroys the Kuehne Magear.
Aruto announces to the press that Metsuboujinrai.net is responsible for using Humagears to attack people.

Kuehne and Ekal are named after extinct creatures Kuehneosaurus (a gliding lizrd) and Ekaltadeta (a marsupial similar to a kangaroo).
Okureru and Mamoru's names are related to their jobs. Okureru is Japanese for "to be late" and Mamoru is Japanese for "to protect".
The episode title of this episode goes back to the format of appearing after the sponsor. In the first episode, the title did not appear till the end.
No opening sequence again, but the song is used as an insert song at the end of the episode.
In the CM after the opening credits, Zero-One rides on the Rise Hopper motorcycle and passes through Oomori-zaka.
For an unknown reason, Yua is shown to be recording Vulcan's battle with the Kuehne Magear.
