An oath is an oath ...
++ TOM
Besides, the "incident" with Belladonna and her ridiculous accusations are taking their toll on him. He is no longer the affable buffoon that arrived on the island, but a poor, tortured soul, riven with pain at the thought that such awful claims could be made against him and terrified that they will be believed in the world at large. He should be allowed to depart the Island so that he may clear his besmirched name.
In my eyes, he will (if he goes) leave with his (gnarled and warty) head held high.
