I don't believe anyone here is so morally bankrupt that they are hoping and praying that Aiden becomes a killer, I simply believe it would be preferable to her victimization at the hands of Pratt. As far as I am concerned the victimization of women should be universally condemned by all people, on television and in real life, it is simply unnecessary and a cheap ploy to ratchet up the level of terror and suspense.
Aiden being Pratt's victim would not close her storyline it would expand it, something unnecessary since this is a one-time appearance, the viewers would wonder how she was doing, how she was putting her life back together and one episode just wouldn't cover that territory. However, the death of the man that made her realize she could not be CSI would bring closure for Aiden and at the same time allow her former colleagues to send her off with a proper goodbye or establish that the bonds still exist somewhere off screen. The goodbye would acknowledge the close bond she shared with the members of her team and gives fans of season one something just and thought out rather than the gone and never mentioned again avenue NY opted to take most of the season.
I think it is entirely possible to move on with your life personally and professionally, find a satisfying career, and still care about the conviction of a serial rapist, especially when his two-time victim pleaded with you personally, they are not mutually exclusive avenues, and it certainly would not constitute obsession.
