Rory and Octavia stay in TonDC for a few more hours. They help the wounded, console the grieving, and assist in the clean up of the burnt out food hut. The people in TonDC, they trusted Rory and, they still do despite Finn's actions. She could've run, could've retreated to the safety of Skaikru's camp but, she didn't and neither did Octavia. They don't blame either of them, they just blame their people.
Once they have done all they can, the two girls say their goodbyes. Rory gives Nyko all the rations they have with them, promising him and his people that she'll sort this. Promising them that Finn will be held accountable for his actions. They quickly make their way through the village, climbing back onto Rory's horse, and beginning their journey back to Camp Jaha.
The journey is silent, both of them processing what happened in TonDC and trying to think of some way to fix things. Eventually, they exit the treeline surrounding Camp Jaha, a thick fog having descended during their absence. Rory calls out, notifying the guards that they aren't hostile, and the gates swing open allowing them to re-enter the camp.
Rory brings her horse to a stop, Octavia carefully jumping down. She's quickly followed by Rory who passes her the reins and asks her to secure her horse. Octavia agrees instantly, walking the horse off to the side and starting to find her some food and water. With the horse gone, Rory gets a clear view of the path to the ship. Off to one side, Bellamy and Clarke are sat opposite each other, cups which Rory presumes are full of alcohol resting on the table in front of them. As soon as Bellamy locks eyes with her, he gets Clarke's attention, the two of them standing up and walking over to meet her.
"How were the grounders?" Clarke asks.
Rory ignores her question, her eyes still full of fury and anger. "Where is he?" Before either Bellamy or Clarke can answer, Rory spots Finn and Murphy stood by the closed doors of the ship, guards surrounding the two of them. Her eyes widen and she storms over to them both, Bellamy and Clarke running after her. "Do you have any idea what you've done?" She shouts in Finn's face, pushing him backwards.
At the sound of the commotion coming from just outside the doors, Abby makes her appearance. "I could ask the same thing about you, Aurora."
"Me?" Rory asks incredulously, her eyes wide. "He just killed 18 innocent people and I stayed behind to try to clear up his wave of destruction."
"You went against my direct orders. You left the camp despite me forbidding you from doing so." Abby tells her.
"I'm really not in a nice mood right now, Abby, so watch your tone. No one, tells me what I can and can't do. No one, forbids me from doing things. If I hadn't left camp, the entirety of TonDC would be dead right now because of him." She snarls, turning back to Finn. "Inside. Now." She glances over at Murphy, not meeting his eyes but her tone softens despite her trying everything in her power to stop it from doing so. "Both of you."
Murphy nods his head, silently brushing past her and entering the ship. He doesn't catch the shaky breath she lets out when he disappears through the doors. She looks back at Finn and, seeing him open his mouth to defend himself, she grabs hold of his jacket and physically pushes him through the doors. The guards follow closely behind the two boys, Rory following them. Then, Abby brings up the rear, the doors sliding shut behind her leaving Bellamy and Clarke on the outside, wondering what their friend's fate will be.
