With the introduction of Nadeshiko and Rindou, we have a dynamic between agents similar to Hinagiku and Sakura. As Hinagiku is starting to make her own choices, we still see the overprotective nature of Sakura, but she can’t be like that forever. Plus, at some point she will need to stop trying to make Rousei and Itechou the villain.
In contrast, see in contrast that Rindou is very overprotective of Nadeshiko. Unlike Sakura, we see him; he is very calm until the end of the episode, where he loses Nadeshiko. I suppose this draws a parallel to when Hinagiku was kidnapped.
We can see the same woman in the flashback last week, so if anyone can know where they took Nadeshiko it would be Hinagiku. This could be a big moment for Hinagiku because she can prevent what happened to her from happening to Nadeshiko. What this episode showcased was simply a purely innocent child.
