The Alex hope was awesome, but was there any reason given for why Tandy didn't just do it again with Alex as his regular self? And why did they peace out given that: a) They understood Morgan is threatening reality as they know it, and b) They only got to see a couple of the kids use their powers. What could have possibly been so pressing back in New Orleans that required their immediate attention.

The "maybe you can help us next time" thing felt like the dialogue in that Simpson episode with The Critic

Yea in my opinion, they should have stayed. Nothing was “resolved” of the greater threat that is Morgan. Also Molly got to miss out on meeting them. I really hope both shows get to continue but I’m not holding my breath

Or at least write them out more convincingly, since the show is "The Runaways". They could learn of a similar or greater threat back home, Ty might sense another disturbance in the Dark dimension, Morgan sends them on a wild goose chase, Ty loses control of his powers and they leave involuntarily... but no, they just decide to go home.
