It seems like our heroes are doing everything they can to turn the status quo into their favor, anything to change their own fate and the ones they love. That is basically the majority of this episode; schemes, plans, and manipulations for one's end abound. This is a major buildup moment for what probably is the biggest fight in the series ever. And as far as I am concerned, this is something to get hyped about. The show so far has consistently succeeded when it comes to delivering what was promised, I do not see it doing any differently in the last arc of the story.
