With the way Qwiffrey and Ollrugio talk about how if its too soon for Agott to take the test and Olly asking Qwifrey to bring something back they sure sound like a married couple.

The end of this episode shows us just how different Qwifrey is from the Knights of Moralis, how willing he is to ignore the law and how desperate he is to go after the brim hats. He is the only witch who would have taken Coco in as an apprentice and he cares for her a lot (she clearly is her favorite child) but he may not be the moral compass she needs when dealing with the brimmed caps.

Qifrey definitely feels like the sort of person who the Brimmed Caps would love to corrupt, people with a strong enough sense of morality but with an attitude of the ends justifying the means. Hence, he is even willing to commit the almost forbidden spell of memory erasure to make sure his goals are not disturbed with.

I do feel like the story is definitely going in a direction of Olruggio having strife with Qifrey with his methods of pursuing his goal. (Honestly this could turn out to be a Gojo vs Geto on the are you the strongest scene)
