Clementine and David
Why does clementine blame David for what happened to AJ? Yes he kicked her out but he did seem to genuinely care about him. I don't understand it.

AJ is still alive. Clementine was angry because David banished her for stealing medicine after Dr. Lingard's prognosis said he's unlikely to recover and they all assumed he would die. Thus she carried that anger with her the entire time and refused to trust them until Dr. Lingard revealed that AJ is on McCaroll Ranch.
clem then acts all kind and shit towards david in episode five, which makes no damn sense because the ep occurs two days after above the law. not to mention, she still held the grudge with david in thicker than water, which was the day before ep 5.
Yeah, I know. The only explanation I could think of is that seeing David actively caring for Gabe despite the latter getting upset with his actions made her change her tune, but it's still a considerable change.
I think that it's more of that she forgives David. Clem tends to be a forgiving person. She forgives Javi for "capturing" her. I think more so that David cares for AJ and Clem's appreciates that.
Also, Clem's isn't her self these past days. She's dealing with....."stress".
Well that's just it: Clemetine hasn't really been acting like Clementine and that was supposed to be a plot point. After all, she was holding onto a serious grudge against the New Frontier as a whole and refused to trust or even believe David and Lingard at first cause she couldn't let go.
Also, I'm not sure why bother quoting that little bit since most of it has nothing to do with what were talking about.
I quote that to rationalize the dramatic change in attitude from 1-4 to 5. 1-4 she's flipping people off(determinant), shooting a man because she's angry, trolling someone to shoot her, angry stabbing lingard.(determinant) And episode 5 she seems more level headed throughout the whole season like hate left the body.
And that's part of the problem.
David says he cared for AJ in Ep5, until then it wasn't clear whether he got rid of him because AJ annoyed him or he had to for boy's sake. Or even lied saying AJ made it. This conversation in Ep5 cooled things off a little and Clementine can even say that David did what he thought was best and she understands.
