It seemed like Eren realised he had to man up in order to protect Mikasa and "wrap that scarf around her whenever she wants" THAT is motivation. But then a few episodes later he starts crying and doubting himself again and a few episodes after that he's confident again…

That just felt really weak to me and it made the badass S2 ending meaningless because that was a huge motivation that went nowhere… Just dissapointing me.

In this Episode he looked at Mikasa for a second and i was expecting a flashback to that scarf moment but nothing. It felt very cheap that he suddenly gets his confidence back. The confidence he had was that he thought he was a chosen one, but realized it was all because of one person's doing, being Grisha his father. He was still thinking mentally as that child the way he was 5 years ago when the Colossal Titan destroyed Shiganshina. He also recognizes Historia as a strong person.
