While I agree that the episode ruining character's whole season development is bad, in this case I'd actually consider it a whole season derailment, so I don't actually mind.

Besides, as others pointed out, Courtney was in-character in SMS. It was nice to see competitive Courtney come back in place of that "Katie and Sadie 2.0" Courtney. Especially since so late in the game people are bound to become even more competitive.
