At least she'll be around to voice Jo.

I think that was the reason why the all stars were put in a balloon. Free four of them so they can conclude their storylines in the TDAS finale, and let 5/8 of the others float into the next season. The balloons were just a way to get the all stars into the next season and it would make sense considering Lightning, Jo, Duncan, Scott, and Courtney all left the game with unresolved plots. That may explain Courtney's massive derailment, and cutting out Jo early.
