This is one of the best episodes of the season. A lot of plot is advancing and all kinds of things are going on.
Two highlights are without a doubt the "dream"-state with Ciri and Triss, which is awesome. A lot of foreshadowing and a bunch of small nice details. The whole storyline with Ciri wanting to become a witcher is done quite nicely. Also the inner conflict of Vesemir is displayed quite nicely and even though it may not be in line with the book, it is done in a believable way.
Also Geralts trip to the monolith (completely new) is a strong point of this episode and corelates well with Ciris scenes when she is calling for him. You kinda see more and more where this whole story is going to.
A weak point for me is the storyline with Fringilla, Francesca and the elves, which feels a bit stretched and get's too much screen time in my opinion. Fringilla was never a very important character besides in Toussaint, so it's not surprising that her scenes feel a bit unnecessary. What's also weird is the fact, that Francesca seems so powerless. Originally she was one of the leaders of the brotherhood and fought with them in Soden. She only later joined Nilfgard, but never held Cintra, but Dol Blathana. So yeah, it is about time the elves leave Cintra and start fighting as the Scoaitel.
