Eren and Mikasa in prison. I do understand that this punishment is necessary for both of them. What they did was basically treason. I'm also disappointed that they acted the way they did. They didn't even acknowledge Erwin's importance (I thought it would have been more logical for at least Eren especially to want both saved with the same serum, since Eren cares about all his comrades and doesn't want any of them to die, so that part where he doesn't even acknowledge Erwin felt out of character). Mikasa was especially out of line (and out of character, since she's more mature than Eren and would normally even try to keep him in line in a situation like that). Plus, they never actually apologized (unless I'm missing something). But I don't necessarily know if I should blame them so much for their actions. Maybe I should blame Isayama instead for character derailment (which may be a disservice to fans).

In the end, though, the reason Armin got injected instead of Erwin was because Erwin (not wanting to be dragged back into that hell) ordered Levi not to use the serum on him (he even smacked it away from himself when Levi tried). Otherwise, Levi would have surely used it on Erwin, something he was even making clear he was about to do right before Erwin smacked it away. So I'm hoping that also gets factored into the equation of how long they stay locked up.

Also just felt like asking: Are we sure this is Volume 22 now? I too could see that being true, but was information actually said somewhere to confirm the volume?
