Wonderful view of the episode and the series. I hadn't quite put my finger on why I found Martha's storytelling journey so moving, but as soon as you mentioned Riddley Walker, I got it.
I agree that Martha's departure was right for the story and the character. She came into her own full power and no longer needed her fixation on a savior. Her last scene was lovely and created a nice role-reversal.
