Fridge logic/plot holes aside, the part of the episode that sticks with me is how Michael's flight from home is recontextualized.
We already knew how dangerous and misguided it was for her to run away from home and belittle Spock, but I, at least, thought she her basic idea (protecting Spock, Sarek, and Amanda) was itself noble. Now we understand -- merely through a change of perspective -- that her reasoning itself was entirely wrong. Michael was the least despised by the extremists.
