1. He could not trust her. And his kids are there.
2. That guy who found the burned bodies would have killed her. Was Rick supposed to put a guard to protect her? Or literally put her in jail?

I agree, she does what she wants to do without consulting the group, she had to go. I don't think she took the fall for anyone... Interesting idea though!

I think you're probably right that
Carol's taking the fall for the nutso kid. The girl couldn't drag those bodies outside like that, though. Carol must have done that to cover. But why burn them? What was that to hide?
And I definitely think that
the nutso kid is the one feeding rats to the walkers. She thinks they're still people, just different. She personalizes with them, so I easily see her as being the rat queen.
As for Carol, I agree with what Rick did. IF he'd left it up to the council, they would have voted for
her to stay. Then Rick would be stuck with somebody in the camp that he can't trust around his babies.
As angry as Tyreese was, I don't think
he'd kill her. Others would have stopped him and then HE'D be the one banished.

So the young girl sees the zombies as human enough to feed them rats, but not the two sick people she killed? Seems like as long as there was a chance to keep them isolated she would have shown them at least equal mercy, just as the zombies were up to that point kept away from everybody else.

But remember,
she thinks zombies are lucky because they get to go on without changing. Maybe she killed the people to 'save' them from pain while letting them 'live', Carol caught her, and SHE dragged the bodies out and burned them.
. Food for thought...

More I think about it, the more I am liking it, the child is feeding the dead the rats because she may actually envy them.

Would someone be kind enough to point out the Spoiler button? Thanks!
I don't know if there's a spoiler button, so I'm writing it out. It's the word spoiler surrounded by brackets [] and then /spoiler surrounded by brackets, with the content in between.

I believe carol did do it, I understand why she killed them but I would have stood behind ricks decision. although I thin he shold have held counsel and took a vote. course he did say it was not a democracy anymore.
Too chancy. The council might have voted differently.

I don't think we've seen the last of Carol
Or Sam. The guy with the fruit. They never did see his body. He could still be out there.
