The __unicode__ method allows models to return a more usable representation of a record instead of a unicode object. This is useful in a variety of places, from the Django admin to using the manage.py shell on the command line.
The return statement effectively ends the execution of a particular function or method by returning something (an object, string, whatever you may need to return for the task at hand).
