Not to spoil to much about Hibike! I'll just say that Kumiko has strange ability to be there when something important is happening. Also, there was a lot of Saori Hayami - that means good episode ;).

As for Ichika x Houki, I don't know what to say to you without spoiling to much. Infinite Stratos is your typical harem series, where almost every female character falls for male lead. He got into a lot ecchi situations with many girls. But when it comes to pure romantic feelings, it is clearly shown that he harbours them only for Houki (and vice versa). They both got together couple of sweet and heart-warming moments, more in number and cuter than with the  est of girls. The thing is, that is has never gone beyond these moments (even in LN from what I know). I would say it is similar to Asterisk Wars, with a little more focus on Houki. So, as you can see there is no exact romance, just hints and innuendos, but most fans have acknowledged that, and even Houki haters admit that Ichika loves only her.

I hope that I explained it to you a little.
