Congrats on the pass! I also passed my initial CFI on the 19th after busting the oral the first time in December. My DPE was very big on weather knowledge and wanted me to explain a lot about fronts and air masses which was not something I had studied anytime recently and he could tell. My oral lasted about 5 hours with a lunch break and lots of BS'ing on various aviation topics. Recheck oral was about an hour of weather grilling and going over aviationweather.gov and 1800wxbrief products. My flight sounded very similar to yours except my DPE flew a little bit to include the emergency descent and landing while I talked him through it and critiqued his performance. We did a power off stall right into an elevator trim stall and steep spiral being about the only difference in maneuvers.
