About Broken Foot... (S4 Spoilers)

Is it safe to say that "Owari" (and to some extent "Requiem") is the antithesis of "Broken Foot"? It always bothered me that, even though it's basically an anti-revenge story, Karai (and Leo) got a lot of flak for going on the offensive against Shredder and his organization, especially when Donatello ended up getting hurt after some of the most ridiculous set of circumstances drew him and the other turtles to the Auman chemical plant...we even had a good argument b/w PapaGreg and someone else between the right and wrongs of Karai's actions in that episodes discussion thread. Now all of a sudden it's not an issue at all?

I mean after "Requiem", it's a totally different story! They even suited up to do what Karai has been trying to do all season after some encouragement from her from her hospital bed in "Owari". My point is, that when you take "Broken Foot" into context, does the sudden shift in tone, and possibly theme, during these final two episodes bother anyone or come off a bit weird? If BF is one of your favorite episodes from this season, do these final two episodes make you think any less of it or not?
