Development of every character's storyline has sharpened after a long time, making the episode much more meaningful. Lip is confronted directly about his issues and is up to him now to take control of his life. Fiona is finally getting around taking care of the Laundromat. Debbie is maturing and is humble enough to ask for help and take responsibility. Ian has to face a choice between his past and present, and can not ignore buried emotions. Perhaps, Monica was the catalyst the show needed at this point.
