For once, the Richard side of the episode was interesting and not merely background noise until Cara or Kahlan came back on screen. The brothers should be forced to work together more, if that's the result, because Darken Rahl definitely brings out the non-boring side of Richard.
Of course, neither brother could compare to the individual or combined wow-ness of Cara, Kahlan and the wisp. The gradual eroding of Cara's walls and the insertion of 'feelings' into her ordered world has been a wonder to behold. This latest crack in her armour was damn cute, too. Plus, it also illustrated just how obsessed she's become with Kahlan, and the Mother Confessor's look of absolutely besotted-ness make it plain that the feelings run both ways.
Kahlan has an edge of vengeful darkness that is beautiful and scary to see... it's one of the reasons she's always seemed a better match for Cara than Richard (that and my blatant femslash bias, of course).
I can understand a network cancelling a show that's not working, but LotS is in the zone, and cancelling it now just shows them up for the morons that they are.
