The cafe scene was basically filler, not really discussing anything about Hiyori and Tendou, although getting us to learn And if you don't like the cafe humor, it's a shame, but that's Kamen Rider pacing for you.
The interaction between the ZECT members was really good though establishing rules etc..
ZECT attempts to fight off a Worm, failing again, adding tension, although it sorta gets lost when they never win. (Alleviated later!)
The main meat was Gatack discussing not being able to trust Worms after they attempted to destroy Earth. However, there's not enough of a connection and he's not enough of a detective for all this to be valid, not to mention his blind devotion to ZECT, who can pretty much say anything and he'll eat it up.
In fact, in the end when he choose the wrong person as the Worm, possibly signifying how he choose the incorrect side in the series. Ironic, considering how normally lacksaidaisical empathic and used for comic effect he is in the series. Their discovery of the Worm is sort of a symbol of them discovering the truth behind the incident years ago.
However, you can empathize with Kagami as he doesn't want to help a guy who leads to the destruction of humanity.
Speaking of which, the Worm revealing itself was a bit lame for anyone who's watched the masterpiece known as John Carpenter's the Thing. Oh well. Not exactly the same audience anyway.
Mika Kikuchi sorta gets wasted, but good paycheck for her, being part of pop in the Japanese equivalent of the Screen Actor's Guild.
The rollercoaster effect was cool.
Also, on a final note remember who the man of the heavens is.
