This episode did a wonderful job to emphasize and strengthen the relationship between the three leading characters in the series. Okabe's protectiveness and determination, not to mention his love for Mayuri, are possibly the only things that're keeping him from descending into madness, and now the knowledge that Kurisu will die if he saves Mayuri is tearing him apart even more, causing further confusion in him. The ep did a magnificent job of showing that, and it looks like it'll all come into play in the following eps.
