They all knew when the rift opened that they carried the weight of the world on their shoulders. They made the mess and they had to clean it up. Actually, they were the only ones who could fix it.

But Owen lost his control and killed Jack. And seeing Jack die once was bad, but when he went to "fight" Abaddon, Gwen couldn't make herself stop him. As much as she loved him, and as much as she couldn't stand seeing him die again, it had to stop.

The others would never forgive her if the world ended anyway.
