Easily the best episode of the series so far for me. Quite a bit happened in this episode and a lot of the characters grew closer together in having a common goal to save Mayuri. It was all fun and games for Okabe when he was playing the mad scientist role, but now he's gone and messed things up and will have to find the hard way in getting out of this situation. You can really feel the full weight of it all crashing down and Miyano gets major bonus points for a pretty dramatic performance.
Kurisu was also great in this episode and had lots of amusing scenes to go with her contribution. She's really bonded with Okabe as of late and their relationship kind of hits a climax only to be unfilled as Okabe goes back in time to try and find an answer with Kurisu's advice. However we get another character arc climax in Suzuha revealing that she is John Titor and that she has some answers. It still isn't going to be easy though cause now Okabe has to cross over into some alternate multiverse where things can happen differently. I really liked the analogy used in the episode with the rope.
So anyway 3 character arc climaxes in one make this quite an episode.
