I'll lean towards Riko's speech just annoying the heck out of me. I'll just note that apparently it's all because of Eren these people signed up to be soldiers, Titans exist, and they need to regain the town or else have to sacrifice a ton of their population again. It was just a stupid amount of pressure and practically blaming Eren. "It's your fault people are going to die."

Just annoyed by the blame game. Yeah, they are doing this plan because they have Titan Eren to use. But they are doing it because Pixis decided to, because Armin came up with the plan, because they have elite enough soldiers to pull off the escort mission, and because everyone didn't revolt or leave.

As with Eren and Mikasa it certainly is possible to see both viewpoints and how both don't consider the other person's thoughts enough. Mikasa doesn't get how her protectiveness is frustrating for Eren and Eren doesn't get that he's the only family she has. His whole view is about killing Titans, but her whole world is him. Wouldn't be surprised if the end of the episode was the result of the two not getting each other at all.
