There was a lot that was disturbing in this episdoe, but I don't think anything was more disturbing than Finn's behavior. Finn had a beautiful spirit in his respect for human life and dignity. You couldn't help but admire his efforts to get people to try to understand each other and live peacefully together. But all of that optiomism has been eroded by the blind hatred, violence and cruelty he has witnessed and been a victim of. The loss of Clarke, I think, was the tipping point. She's  his only solace. He turned to her when he thought they were alone on the ground,  And it's interesting that he confessed his love for her just after he killed the reaper. She's his peace and comfort is a world of chaos, and he will do anything to get her back.

It is always tragic to see a good person fall from grace. This world will really test your faith in your fellow man. It takes a strong person to resist the temptation to give into the darkness that is within us all. I have a feeling that Finn will later have a difficult time dealing with the guilt of what he has done. He's not like Murphy who seems to have little conscience or regret. He hasn't demostrated any desire to change. Finn is much more sensitive. He has a moral compass and was trying to live by it. He's now lost his innocence, and he will never be the same. I can't wait to see further development of this character.
