This is coming to a head nicely. It's great to see Emi taking control of her own destiny no matter what her "father" does to take it away from her, and I love Ken's entrance (and the other guys of course) when they return!

The original version of Ken was always the master of the dramatic entrance and this iteration is no different when it comes to drama. (I suspect it's his superpower.) And on another note, ol' Z's as mad as a box of frogs, isn't he? Z, I name thee Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. I haven't read the manga so I have no idea how this might turn out, but I'm calling it: Z is a creature of the emotions of loss, so he's going to be defeated by The Power of Love, most probably the pure and unsullied love that Emi still holds in her heart of hearts for her dear ol' da. Do you get the feeling that the final boss battle might turn out to be with Mister I'm-So-Fabulous Grey? (His superpower would have to be finding the multiverse's best hairdresser and cornering the market on styling products. The only reason he's been absent for the last couple of eps is that he's washing his hair after that showdown with Ken.) See, Z's as mad as a box of frogs, and he's Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, so there's Redemption in Defeat (and possibly even death) on the cards for Z. He's being set up for a last-minute heel-face-turn, whereas Damien... well, Damien's a bit evil. Damien says he made a clear and conscious choice to turn away from the forces of niceness to become a very naughty boy, and he wants to be the very naughtiest boy in the multiverse, so I've got him pegged as the Final Boss. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out. Because I'm probably entirely wrong about all of this.

Of course, what Ken and the others haven't realised is that to defeat Grey, all they have to do is dump a bucket of something gross -- like perming lotion -- on his hair and he'll be so distressed that he'll fly into a frothing rage that will prevent him from thinking clearly, at which point the heroes can charge in, brandishing weaponised hair-straighteners -- cheap ones, set to the wrong temperature -- and save the day. If Tatsunoko had included a female hero on the Infini-T force team, she would have thought of this already and sorted Damien Grey right out.
