Check this out... saw it in the IMDb message board for TWD:

The way I saw Beth's death seems to be different from everyone elses.

She walks up to Dawn and says something like, "So this is how things work", and then stabs her which forces her hand to shoot Beth accidentally, causing Dawn's death.

Some say Beth was overconfident in trying to kill Dawn and failing, but I don't see it that way at all... what I saw happen, was Beth sacrificing herself not just to save the kid, but to force their hand to shoot Dawn , the way Beth saw earlier, Dawn exploits every situation to make others do her killing, Beth uses the same tactic here on Dawn, but in a far more complex way that took her own death to achieve.

People calling it bad writing, I think just didn't get it at all. This was all chess. People are thinking in terms of checkers and missing a few levels.

Just a thought.
