Retail as a step back? That doesn't make sense.

Telltale isn't abandoning online or episodic distribution. The retail version is the compilation that is released after the online episodes are all released - it's a box containing all six on a disc. Think of it as a DVD season set of your favorite TV show.

The second Bone episode is two to three times as long, with 'seasoned adventure gamers' finishing it in 4-6 hours... It's definitely meatier than the first episode.
