The previous buildup from "the sword can only be drawn on worthy opponents" made that sword pull moment amazing.
It's good to see Reinhard and Wilhelm make up after that much time has passed.

I don't think Reinhard and Wilhelm made up, if anything their relationship is more hostile now than ever. Wilhelm called out to him using his name, asking Reinhard if he regretted his actions. After getting his answer, he turns his back to him and addresses him as "Sword Saint Reinhard-dono", using a very formal tone and his title and tells him he has nothing more to say to him. He goes from trying to reach out to a family member to coldly addressing a title bearer, a title that he likely hates considering what is has done to his love. While he understands why Reinhard did what he did he cannot accept his answer and so tells him to effectively "get lost", just in a more polite manner.
What an amazing episode! The Astrea family really is cursed, everyone in there seems to be miserable all thanks to the "blessing" of the sword saint. It turned Theressia from a happy flower loving girl into a war-scarred orphan, while poor Reinhard did the only reasonable thing he could do in the moment and it destroyed his relationship with his grandfather and pushed his father to hate him even further, considering he "killed" his grandmother twice now. It makes one almost able to feel some sympathy for even Heinkel, although I still can't feel bad for the bastard.
