Have to tell everyone what she did for closure on the deaths as well as why she had to be cut loose. If Tyrese wants to go off and hunt her down let him go as at his current mental state the group may be better off without him.
I realize that the show probably won't go this route as they will want to manufacture more drama and subplots but in real life there is no other way to handle it.

In this case they can manufacture drama even with Rick telling the truth. Rick isn't the type of guy to lie about sending Carol off, the group has been together too long. Rick told the group about Shane, Rick told Darryl about leaving Merle behind, Rick told the group about everyone being infected (eventually). This is just the progression of Rick turning back into the leader, he made the choice to exile Carol without consulting anyone and he will explain to them that killing people is not ok and she had to go.
