It finally answered a lot of questions, but left gaps in the story for future gap filling by later episodes. We have possible stories from Burnt Oak, Grand Pear, the fate of the parents, etc, etc. In terms of storyline, even at its core it opened a lot of flood gates for future storyline development.

It also quite a real home bringer for some... You can realize things in their world aren't too different from our own. For example, it kicks in later that Pear Butter and her father were never given the chance to make amends with each other, that her father initially got up and left her just *like that*.

In one swoop her family as she knew it was destroyed. It was powerful even to the characters in the story, as we very much see Granny Smith's expression change as he told her she had a choice to make. We also understand the reality of a feud and how for whatever means it began, by the end of that one scene there was a real reason for Granny Smith to despise the head of the Pear household.

We also see a very real thing, that later on when Grand Pear was old and calmed down, he regretted ever doing it. He came back to Ponyville to make peace with his past. The price he paid for that choice back at the wedding was he lost his daughter afterall.
