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.

Okureru and Mamoru's names are related to their jobs. Okureru is Japanese for "to be late" and Mamoru is Japanese for "to protect".
