That's quite the parallel, Paula
I would have never thought of that!
Obviously, given how everything played out, this is a moot point.
But if Octavia had to "pay" for her warning the village and thus revealing herself or worse if Pike had made Bellamy "pay" for failing to keep his sister in check. We would feel quite differently about that choice, right?
It was the noble and moral thing to do
and I'm glad Octavia is still around to face more adventures
