This episode was kinda low-key but actually much better than last one, playing a role similar to a ballad on a music album. You can see there is much action going to happen sooner or later, but "indifference" takes a break before all that, and is all about the different characters' soul searching.
There is this play on the contrast between Rick and Carol. While Rick has been losing it in the last season, this season he is more of himself again, and Carol's (repeating) moral failure really reminds him what he is and what he isn't, and that is emphasized by his final decision to banish her from the group.
Considering everything they have been through, to judge these two characters actions as right\wrong is very complex, maybe impossible. Rick is definitely no saint. But I believe he made the best decision in trying to sort of make things right, while Carol on the other had has been obviously lying to herself not understanding where the path she is taking will lead her. This violent path is the one Shane took and eventually leads to 3 possible results: A. You kill the people you care about. B. You get killed by those you care about. C. You leave the group....best option the way I see it.
