I wasn't sure if the way this series treated it's leaving cast members (who apparently can't handle the grueling stress of shooting a tv series in paradise for 5 months a year) was an in joke or just bad writing and management. But we see the departure (in hindsight temporarily) of the a long running and liked cast member, and she gets to say good bye to her co workers and gets the appearance of some level of affection from people she's spent 3-4 years with on a friendly basis. Just like normal real humans. That on top of the last 2 episodes breaking new territory for the show where there is real danger and fear, this wasn't a bad. Thing, although stupidity in our heroes isn't a great plot point, and it shows weakness in the writing team that they fall back on it to move a story forward. Anyway farewell or should I say see you soon.
