What strikes in this episode is the total lack of moral judgement on someone that has just gunned down 18 people. The instant it is revealed that Finn has killed the ingroup/outgroup instincts kick in without further discussion on what happened. Prime objective becomes to shield him of from any consequence of his actions - in fact some of the protagonists are willing to stage another massacre (on both sides) to keep him safe, or even hand in someone else instead. Only when it becomes clear that the Grounders are not going to give up they are willing to put Finn to trial themselves - but only as a way of saving him. All this doesn't bode well.
Life on the Ark was certainly harsh, leading to a culture in which human life doesn't count for much, clearly Grounder lives are not worth much - and if you haven't notice by now, this episode has made it clear that the 100 are riding a pretty high moral horse. As things go south for Finn one can't help wondering if the protagonists learned anything.
