It was a very nice touch on Zero's part. Give Nunnally the appearance of being perfectly pure in her intentions, while forcing the burden of shooting or not upon Suzaku and the other Rounds. That way, Nunnally would still look like she had the proper intentions, and her administrators were betraying her and killing one million potentially innocent (but certainly not) people. That in turn would give a huge blow to the reputation of Britannia, possibly causing regions already conquered in believing that Britannia will not honor such treaties, and that ones still fighting have only oblivion as their option to not fighting.

As a bonus, it takes a huge chunk of Area 11's labor base away.

Since Sayako knew that the real Zero was aboard, she now is fully informed of his identity, what he was striving for, and what he just accomplished for Nunnally. I assume that even though she was recruited into the Black Knights, she still very much cared for Lelouch and Nunnally, since the two never once belittled her when she served them.

I'm still left with two questions from this episode:

- I wonder what Viletta will do now. She knows Ogi still cares for her, and is still willing to protect her.

- How exactly is Lelouch and Rollo's absence from school explained? Maybe I missed it, but I would think that the two of them leaving, coinciding with the mass exodus, would light a few bulbs. I would think that the Student Council might notice something, along with affirming the suspicions of both Suzaku and Nunnally.
