Love you his episode. I've been really annoyed at how Winnie never shows up in episodes that aren't directly about romance and dating, and this episode remedies that (though there ARE still some strong feelings passing between her and Kevin).
It's heart-wrenching watching her struggle through rehearsals, and beautifully uplifting watching her succeed on the night of the performance. Even Kevin is moved to tears by her. (Danica McKellar also does a great job at selling a believable junior high performance. She's good, but a step down from her normal performance as Winnie.)
I think the final line about her dad moving back in is a bit too contrived for my liking, but I can rationalize it as "there was already a reconciliation in the works, which is why he came in the first place."
I'd still love to see Winnie showing up in episodes where she isn't a focus and is just in class or the lunchroom, to lend some consistency to the show.
