Probably one of my least favorite episodes of the entire series. Pacing felt rushed to me even at 75 minutes. But they went for the "try to please everybody" style ending, and they actually pulled it off.
IMO, it achieved catharsis perfectly, but it wasn't a "challenging" ending. Like with much of the show in the last season, it left me with the feeling, "Of course, that's how that went down. It's so obviously perfect... why didn't I see it coming, though?"

I still loved it, though.
