I was actually just thinking about the title "Return of the Assassin" and I thought it was supposed to be a reference of Kirei instead (since he was originally Assassin's master), although Kiritsugu makes more sense. In any case, I think the strongest evidence it isn't Rider is that Maiya was fatally wounded and Rider hasn't shown any kind of inclination for action like that. Also where's Waver? He's always along with Rider and he didn't appear at all, if with all those little details it does turn out to be Rider next week I'm going to be a bit annoyed.
