Ursula's death was quite disappointing, not only because it was sad and I found her romance with Kash more appealing than Yuri/Kail, but because the scenario behind it was rather contrived and in the end, it didn't serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things. But then again, Shinohara never struck me as a masterful story-teller to begin with, unlike Ryoko Ikeda or Yumi Tamura.
