The irony behind the quote "Fallen, but not forsaken" *Major Spoilers*
I just realised that should you choose to save Sarah than leave her behind in the trailer house, later on from the conservatory deck she falls when the boards collapsed and is inevitably killed by the walkers, and she is never mentioned again (save Jane, who leaves the group anyways).
Sarah literally falls to her doom, and is forsaken by her friends shortly afterwards.

The one thing I kept thinking when Sarah fell was, "If Clementine was the one stuck down there, also screaming for someone to help her, would they also pretty much flat out ignore her?"
And the scary thing is, I'm worried the answer would be yes. They had enough people out there, and they've faced worse odds (earlier that episode, in the trailer) so it baffles me that they didn't try. Only Jane does, and that's only with enough push from Clementine.
Like you mentioned; they also never mention her. They just watched a little girl get ripped to shreds while screaming for her dad, you'd think that would get one line of dialogue thrown in somewhere. I have to pin the blame on Telltale's writing for this episode.
They clearly had already forsaken her before she died, as they didn't even try to help her. Cough Plot hole Cough
You know what's the worst part about Sarah's second possible death scenario?
NO ONE SHOT HER TO GIVE HER A LESS PAINFUL DEATH.
I mean, seriously, Bonnie shoots two walkers if you keep on trying to save Sarah but then doesn't shoot a screaming girl that is so obviously going to die very painfully? The writers just thought: 'Hey! Let's make Sarah's death more gruesome, even if it doesn't make the least sense.'
