I don't know for sure why she headed for Patch instead of back to the tribe, without another bonded person she had no escape even if her insane plan worked. But then again, after what she learned while being part of the Ozluminati, the possibility of her simply returning to the way things were was pretty much nil, and she was kidding herself by thinking otherwise. But if she had told the tribe of what she'd learned, they'd think she was crazy and deem her unfit to lead, regardless of how strong she'd become at Beacon. So she had to keep it all a secret, even though that meant isolating herself from the tribe in a sense, even though she claims they're her "family," but she's refuted that herself by her words and deeds in Volume 5. So if she truly doesn't see them as family anymore, then she'd have little reason to return, especially now if Salem comes hunting her down in earnest, the first place she'll look is the tribe. So she's safer on Patch, how long that'll be the case is unknown at this time.
