This is also how I feel. I do agree with @Soapsuds that the real problem was the aftermath, where Karen seemingly had to meet 1991's version of the Joads, but it was just so much, and so sudden, and alongside the horrible choice of Claudia unwittingly murdering her son (one of the worst choices in KL's history), it sent a message that the Knots many viewers had become accustomed to was dead.
