That last scene caused much gnashing of teeth on my behalf.
The issue I think is that we see some mote of happiness in the series. Consider that, so far, we've had abduction, alien infestation, the brutal mercy killing of our favourite mauve shirt and Eli's mum being suicidal.
Then we get a happy upswing with Eli finally breaking the news to his mum, pulling her out of her rut and hooking up with damned fine red head.
And then the red head dies. Offscreen. After only one episode. Brutally. Taking another character and love interest with her.
We got so much development of Eli's crush on Chloe. From its very beginnings, its development and eventual swatting down as it becomes apparent that Chloe has eyes for only one other. I'd have loved to see Eli and Ginn's relationship actually develop rather than get teased by it for an episode only for it to be crushed before our eyes.
It's like seeing a kitten doing something cute and then dropping a brick on it. Then setting it on fire. Twice. Simultaneously.
I can only speak for myself but I would have preferred to have seen Eli find a little happiness. I would have loved to see Ginn's character actually develop and her relationship with Eli actually grow, change and evolve as the series went on.
If Ginn or Perry are still alive... the way I see it... perhaps their minds may have merged somehow.
My thinking is that when the stones "Disconnect" the link between two people, each find themselves back in their original bodies. If a link is disconnected by death, then the extraneous personality has nowhere to go while the original finds itself back in place.
Now we've had fused personalities before in Stargate, Daniel when he was harbouring a dozen odd personalities, McKay... but I feel that something different happens with stones. It isn't a case of two personalities in one body so much as a fusion of the two, an inseparable union.
As a result, Ginn and Perry become "Gerry", the memories and experiences of both Ginn and Perry in one body with one mind... much like Tuvix from Voyager. This complicates things for both Eli and Rush, potentially it drives a wedge between them.
In the case of Death or Fusion, Eli has to do something about it. Preferably to Simeon. Preferably something that gives Simeon a long, slow, painful, malingering death.
That nerd deserved some frellin' happiness gorram it.
