Hmm. That does sound like the right episode.

But that doesn't -- she gets rescued *by* being sucked into a portal, and
would have otherwise been disintegrated by a Fog Bank o' Doom.

protagonists is not a sad ending. Heck, a successful rescue of a *villain*
isn't generally considered to be a sad ending, though neither is an
unsuccessful rescue of a villain. :)
