The thing about Beth is that she really wants to believe the best in people. It's a little naive, but that belief doesn't exclude the fact that she's seen a lot of horrible things in her lifetime. The Governor beheading her father. The mutilated girl on the mannequin in the country club. Hearing about what happened between Shane and Rick. She knows that there are people out there that will hurt her with very little provocation. She knows about human cruelty.
But this? This is enough to nearly feel sick to her stomach. To the point where she's reaching out to grab his hand and give it a quick squeeze - I'm glad you're okay.
"That's terrible," she whispers it, dizzied with the mental image and the realization that she came so close to losing them all. People do crazy things when they're desperate enough, but eating other people? That's messed up.
"You looked for me?" Beth doesn't know why she's surprised. She's just...touched, that's all.
