It did work for them, yes. If it had been a new move it could've been their downfall. I think the later timeslot just was CBS showing that they'll air it but they know it has run its course
Hetty retiring would've been better. They still could've had her come back if Linda was up for it. She still could've appeared. They needed to face reality that she couldn't easily come back & write her out though. Not tease her for years.
It was fine for them to be gone, but I don't think it was handled well. It felt choppy I guess? They'd be working on one thing then have to jump to something else because that actor wasn't in the next episode.
