I reaaaally loved how this episode went through!

As you said, Bakugo, when we all thought he would become a villain after Shigaraki attempt to kidnap him, has gain a lot of charisma. Although he is rude and always angry, his sense of beong a hero is supreme and he is surprisingly helpful with other UA members.

In resume, I think character evolution in Boku no Hero is very well created and I think that they can even got us more hyped if we think about previous episodes (think of All For One, who has been caputred but we have not known anything more about him).

I have not read the manga, and I am trying to get rid of every comment about it because it can lead to spoilers, but I really expect the anime to become oone of those that can surpass the original manga.

Fingers crossed!
