I see a lot of people aren't really paying attention. Eren has no intention to follow through with Zeke's plan. Jean (I can't believe I'm typing this) knows this based on Eren's all of sudden coldness towards Mikasa. He knows Eren is doing things for a reason and is thinking about the bigger picture. Armin's tears are not based on fooling Yelena but the realization that Eren, his childhood friend would never commit to such a stupid plan.

Eren from the beginning was always fighting for mankind not the extinction of the Eldian race but for Eldia's freedom. It's painfully obvious and I can't think of a better way for the Author to foreshadow it. Eren isn't the villain, he's making decisions that Armin isn't quick enough to make and is trying to save them all. He's using Zeke as a means to an end. Wanted to break Mikasa's programming (Jean knows it isn't in Eren's nature to destroy Mikasa like that) and is trying to change the world for the better.

I really like Jean in this chapter, he's no longer a Mikasa love bot, but a man who trying to make things right by critically thinking. It's a good chapter.
