If Elizabeth had been rescued, it would also have looked very natural for the show, because returning to rescue those in the hands of the enemy would have just been the right thing to do. It would have been much more natural than Carson's return, because although his sudden appearance in "The Kindred, Part 1" was creative and completely unexpected, I can't help but wonder how long the writers had to think to come up with something like that. Carson died in "Sunday"; there's no denying that, and the fact that the writers decided to bring him back due to popular demand demonstrated how they were blatantly trying to cover up a mistake. If Elizabeth had returned, it wouldn't have appeared as obvious.
A bit of humility might have saved the writers and the show. Too bad that they didn't even have that.
