Given this last episode, I'll stand by my previous opinion, with some slight revisions:

I, without a doubt, believe that Nora has feelings for Ren. Somewhere between "schoolgirl crush" and "borderline obsession." And I still believe that Ren and Nora are very close, and that closeness is mutual between them. However, now I do believe that Ren may be aware of this, but doesn't necessarily reciprocate the feelings. Notice how when she immediately jumped up and hugged him at the end of the episode, he was a bit more hesitant to return it.

Overall, I think Ren sees Nora as a sister and a very close friend, while Nora definitely (and somewhat obviously) wants them to be more.
