That is a large wall of text.
In the Kyubey wars, I have always used Puella Magi instead of mahou shoujo/magical girl. Part of it is to remain original to the title, but I felt there was a significant enough difference, even if I didn't know what that difference was. This episode shows what happens when Puella Magi (magical girls) evolve into Puella Maga (witches).
The emotional conflict I have with this episode is between Sayaka and Madoka. Madoka is too scared to become a Puella Magi, that's understandable. But Sayaka, brave enough to make a stand against witches, is turned into one herself. That just seems unfair.
EDIT: To be fair to Madoka, she has come very close twice. If it were not for Homura, Madoka would be a Puella Magi now.
