This chapter gave me the feeling that Isayama is reserving all the action for the next issue, which will be the final chapter of the 18th volume. Literally half of the chapter (until page 23) was a repetition of the previous one: a meditation of all what humanity has passed through since the fall of Wall Maria, and Eren and Armin talking about their dreams. This whole part looked completely unnecessary to tell again.

The true chapter, from page 24 and on, was pretty good. It was very nostalgic to see Shiganshina and Wall Maria again, something that until now seemed like an unattainable goal. Erwin's deductive abilities never cease to amaze me. He knew all the time what Reiner and Bertolt were thinking and had already prepared a strategy to fool them. He's the Sherlock Holmes of the AoT world.

But unfortunately his plan failed too soon because Reiner and Bertolt quickly found Eren. Again, this panel was a repetition of the last panel of the previous episode: both traitors simply watching in silence.

As I said, we'll have to wait another month to see some action. I hope Erwin has a good plan B (and preferably a C and D), and that the wait worthwhile and we could see at least the start of a fierce battle.
