Bugthe wrote: they're buckled." Seriously? Fucking stupid. A rescure rope with a fucking buckle in the middle, you know, in case you need to unbuckle the fucking rope in the middle of your goddamned rescue, like you do. Actually that is exactly it (highlighted part) the usual rope tearing wouldn't have the same impact. This whole scene was about addressing the issues between Bellamy and Murphy. Just a few days ago they tried to kill each other, and now they are forced to cooperate like nothing happened. Working together using a rope is just the cheery on top.

Bellamy got to play the hero, Murphy got to help someone other then himself, further moving away from what he was in S1 so he can better contrast Finn upcoming crazy. I do agree that the whole scene was just to show the characters development. So we got to see Finn not really caring about that girl's life and a "foreshadowing" to the massacre. It's just like how Gina's death was just to bring Bellamy to his own "massacre"
