To be honest, I didn't love the episode that much either. It was plenty angsty and fun, like all the rest of the episodes. I know if doesn't make sense to say it was too angsty (since angst is pretty much the reason we watch the show...) but usually the angst is done well and makes at least some sense.
I felt like there was too much of a random switch in Lulu's personality. Sure it was fun to watch him hit rock bottom, but was there really any reason for it? All he found out was that his sister *gasp* has free will and a mind of her own and that maybe what he was doing was unnecessary. Had his epiphany been that Nunnally thinks what he is doing is completely horrific and wrong then he might have come to realization of how much of a hypocrite and a monster he is. That would have been a cause for some real angst. Instead he comes to some mushy conclusion that he has to fight for all his friends, not just his sister.
Hopefully this is a just a set up for things to go horrible horrible wrong and he'll be back to his old maniacal self.
