I completely understand your confusion. I read through it and at the end, I thought, 'what was that all about? What did that death accomplish other than to put all her readers off balance?'
By that time, though, I was, like Gesley, thoroughly done with them doing stupid things just to connect the dots. At the very least, Tris' death should have felt like a cataclysmic burning of a city, not a postscript. She handled the death of her main character with such indifference her readers became indifferent, too.
When a main character dies, you need to be sobbing and wailing! ;)
