Yeah i get it would be interesting but the point of the episode was for Alicia to stop being angry and come back to her friends, had she killed Charlie she would have gone too far and likely not ever came back from this.
You can't have the lead of your show murder a child, you just can't do it cause i doubt anyone would sympathize or care about her after that.
Its not like messed up things haven't happened on the show, that family on the island in S2 where the kid took the suicide pills and turned into a walker and the whole family died, that was really messed up. And Travi's' son dying, Nick being killed by a child, June's kid dying and tunring and leading to the death of an entire community. I just think theres already alot of messed up stuff thats happened, it wasn't necessary to have Alicia kill Charlie.

"You can't have the lead of your show murder a child ..."
A child that contributed to the death of your mother, endangered the lives of all of your friends, destroyed your home (the only place you have felt safety and hope for a long time), and outright killed your brother?
I think it would totally be understandable for Alicia's character to kill Charlie.
"the point of the episode was for Alicia to stop being angry and come back to her friends"
The episode is about what happens. It could easily have been a revenge tale.
This show needs show characters doing (mentally/morally) difficult things or it will always be mediocre.
