sariagrayOkay. Here's a thought. It's probably not a new thought at all, but...it exists.
No one can die. Unless they're burned. I'm going to go with burning actually working for now, until proven otherwise. If I missed a line of dialogue somewhere that contradicts this, let me know.

I think the explosion was about the explosion, not about any character development or plot consistency. It read to me like "OK, now, we're going to have Gwen explode the camp to take it down, how do we get to that point? Wait, we only have ten minutes left in this episode because we let Maloney go on and on about badminton? OK, here's what we do, she stumbles across some C4 - it's there as a backup plan in case the crematoriums fail, silly! - then we have her..."
