Disagreed, it was unnecessary and uncalled for. For many different reasons. As you acknowledged, this was pretty cruel, a cliffhanger doesn't need to go that far in this kind of series. We all expected a chance to see them all in the finale before they are sent home, something that went unbroken for four straight seasons. This isn't just pulling the mat out from underneath us, this seemed like open disregard for the fact that the audience does care what happens to the characters in these shows. We all know they'll probably resurface, but to not even get an answer about them and to carry on with the episode like it didn't matter was loathsome. The rest of the episode doesn't offset it in the slightest. There's cliffhangers, and then there's this. In an episode that pulled a lot of bad moves, this one is no exception. It's frustrating to make us wait what could be years for an explanation, especially when the outcome was so negatively received.
