Yes, but she will be able to gain all knowledge. And if she's bad...this isn't good.
Then they'll just have to shoot her

I knew that it was going to be all Artie. Woo.
I effing hate this, by the way. I mean come on, LEENA? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Look out HG, Artie's coming for that Astrolabe.
We never even got to know much about Leena
Okay, here are my 2 cents, for what they're worth:
I just don't know about Leena's death. Part of me is saying it can't be that easy, it'll be reversed or fixed. And then part of me looks at all the characters they've killed up to this point, and then brought back to life… which is all of them pretty much. There comes a point in every sci-fi show where a major good-guy character has to die. If you're a Joss Whedon fan, you're accustomed to it. It sucks, but it's fact.
I honestly can't see the writers killing off Leena so easily like that, and off-screen to boot. Yes, shock factor when you cut back to it… but it's a disservice to the character that has been there for 3.5 seasons. I know, they did it with Jinks. But that makes it repetitive, so shame on the writers for not being more creative at the very least. We know next to nothing about Leena, what her abilities are to the fullest extent, what her connection to the B&B and Warehouse are, etc… and I just don't believe she can be killed that easily. Especially not if Mrs. F has anything to say about it. But who knows really. Half of my gut is telling me she's gone for good, and that sucks. I like Leena a lot and wanted to learn more about her.
Onto my thoughts about Artie… nailed it. Couple episodes in I predicted that Artie was his own evil. You can't throw Claudia and Brother Adrian in everyone's face constantly without there being a twist of some sort. It's uncommon for a sci-fi show to just show you the evil right away, especially when it concerns an "inner evil" or "an evil of your own making." There's always a red herring. Anyways, I think the influence of the astrolabe, using it etc., created the darkness in Artie, causing him hallucinations, blackouts even to his own actions. The concept of this darkness and evil is similar to Darkseid in Superman lore in a way. The darkness gets inside you if you're open to it, until it finally corrupts you… which I think is what happens at the end of "The Ones You Love." The insanity and corruption hit it's max limit, and this darkness finally takes over Artie, which is why Leena asks who he is. Artie is gone, at least right now, and something else has possessed him.
As for the astrolabe and Dark Artie's comment about "it's in the Dark Vault"… oh little does he know that it's been moved. Smart Leena and Mrs. F! I think Dark Artie's goal will not be to use the astrolabe to reverse time, but to destroy the item so the darkness can stay in Artie/the world. It would be counterintuitive for this evil to reverse time and eliminate itself, and I honestly don't think Artie is in control of his body or mind anymore to eradicate the evil from himself.
Predictions for the mid-season finale and the next half of the season… mid-season will see the evil getting into the world. It'll leave Artie's body and either roam freely or inhabit someone else who will become the season's Big Bad in the back however many episodes are slated for spring. The goal in the back half episodes will be to find this elusive knife we've seen Claudia use in the dreams. H.G. has already mentioned how impossible it is to locate, therefore that will clearly be the item to find. I have more thoughts, but will save them for now. Otherwise this will turn into a novel.
