I think Subaru's love relationships are very straightforward. When he first came to that unknown world, it was Emilia who saved him from the thugs and even stayed with him until he woke up, in his eyes she was like an angel that came in his moment of need. He didn't reject Rem because he hated her or anything, is just that Emilia made a bigger impact in his eyes.

As for Season 2 Episode 7, the only reference to Shield Hero I see is Naofumi's line about "But the reputation it gives you will hurt you mentally". Basically since Kazuma wanted to peek on the girls, he would've end up like Naofumi in Shield Hero: Accused of doing immoral things on girls (In Kazuma's case is less serious since its just peeking).

I think the hidden something in that episode would be Ram's smug expressions. Since Ains is seen as the strongest and wisest, Ram discovered that even he had some embarrassing traits (He liked military outfits, eye patch, basically things that younger kids think is cool). Ram seemed to have planned something, but since season 2 is over, I guess that plot point didn't go anywhere.
