A lot happened in this episode. Not only did they introduce a major villain lasting more than one episode but they also made Usui and Misaki's relationship take a step backward.

Forgetting the villain of whom little can really be said as of yet, I think more meaningful (for now) was Usui's decision to take the step back by undermining the meaninfulness of the kiss. In practice it made Misaki to return more to her previous state, with an added feeling of annoyance, but deeper down it suggests Usui might not be as serious as I thought he was.

After all, if Usui had been completely serious, there's no reason why he wouldn't have tried to turn Misaki's hesitation to his own advantage by convincing her further. But instead he wanted the situation to revert back to Misaki only thinking he's just teasing her. Of course the situation was hampering Misakin work and her general level of coolness but I doubt Usui really cares about the school or the cafe beyond Misaki's involvement with them.

So, I can't help but wonder what's the ultimate reason why he wants Misaki to remain in the gray zone instead of becoming his girl. Maybe he has some unescapable destiny awaiting him after high-school and despite liking Misaki, he knows he can never be together with her. So, it's better for Misaki to remain as she is.
