The ending was perfect for me
The ending I got for Season 2 of the Walking Dead was perfect for me. I spent season 1 attempting to prepare Clem for the world as it was now; I always acted out of love for her, but it was this love that prompted me to make sure she could handle herself and that she would be safe, even if Lee couldn't be around.
Fast forward to standing in the remains of Carver's stronghold with Jane and choosing the option to turn them away. By this point, I have had enough of groups. It was difficult, but I felt that Jane and Clem really just need each other. So, I turn them away.
At this point the father, in his desperation, threatens "Are you sure you want to do this, little girl? What if we're dangerous?" Clem, bless her heart, pulls her gun and says "What if I am?" This moment broke my heart and at the same time filled me with such pride. This moment felt like the culmination of everything I'd done as Lee for Clem and of everything she'd learned and gone through in season 2. While heartbreaking that this sweet little girl that we've grown to love would act so mature and cold, at the same time it's what I'd been hoping for this whole time. Clem had finally come into her own and grown up.
I feel good about Clem and Jane out there after this ending.
