I think they kinda screwed up by letting that storyline dead end.

to extend that idea didn't fit into the structure of a tv show of that time. They had a main plot they kept working on, each episode had a sub-plot, and for special events like the season ending, they split the story into two episodes to keep as many viewers as possible. But a second main plot, covering multiple episodes, maybe an entire season, just didn't work, the episodes had to be enjoyable even if someone missed the last five ones.
considering that, they delivered the best they could, I guess
