I think Osla and Mab were quick to think the worst of Beth because they had just learned that Beth knew about the impending bombing of Coventry and didn’t warn them not to go. They believed Beth could have alerted them (and through them Francis) without breaking her oath of secrecy by simply saying, ” Don’t go, trust me.” And, before that, Beth had begged for information from Osla on the Fleet Air Arm in her concern for Harry. Osla and Mab considered Beth a hypocrite. Their friendship was ruptured until they later bonded to free Beth from Clockwell and unmask the BP traitor.
