It's interesting to see Yozora begin to change a bit. I have to admit I've never liked her character that much, but it's obvious she's broken in some fundamental ways, due to unspecified events in the 10 years after she knew Taka. Would it ever be possible in the future for her to form strong relationships with other people? Up until this episode I would have had a hard time saying "yes".
Kodaka's reaction to Rika's unspecified anger at the beginning of the episode tells us that he is aware that they are all becoming friends at some level. And his apparent "denseness" is likely an act, or at least a a desire to avoid changing things too quickly.
I am a big fan of Rika this season; I really like the way her character is developing.
