Like I said back then, I'm not sure I mind these sorts of endings personally, and it does leave the door open for the 13th episode coming in December, but I can understand those who might argue that this cheapens the rest of the episode somewhat. On the positive side, it doesn't really negatively impact any of the rest of the earlier episodes, as this plot point was only alluded to at the very end of episode 11.

It occurred to me even as I contemplated this possibility beforehand that, though the show did settle the issues from her past, she still actually has unfinished business on earth anyway, namely in the form of one first love...
