The episode was pretty massive WRT major events/revelations that we have
been building towards for a long time.
(The following discusses events in the episode, so spoiler alert!)
the fact that only Targaryens can ride a dragon and you finally see Jon ride one, first time Arya has seen Jon since ep 1 (Kudos to Williams in that scene as I found myself smiling like I was just as excited as she was) plus Jon learning what we have known for a long time about his heritage.
Plus, so many call backs to episode 1, season 1 with the kid climbing to see the procession of Dany's arrival mirroring the coming of King Robert. Jaime seeing Bran was also a brilliant send off.
To Sam's question, I think we know Dany would not give up her crown to save her people...I suspect that is a key choice she will be faced with, only to fail and have someone else make that decision for her...one possibility of many at this point.
