Honestly this may sound weird but I feel like this is what Octavia and Stolas needed,space from each other to truly figure things out.
Like Stolas has to figure out where he went wrong and how he could've and should've improved his relationship with Octavia and secondly, Octavia needs time to figure out things and truly get the bigger picture on what her father went through and why he made a lot of the choices he did.
Cause Octavia clearly doesn't hate him. She still saved his life and even called him Dad before she left and looked back before leaving,she just feels betrayed and needs to figure things out and find out the full context and tbh, them having this space from each other is pretty much what they need and it's most definitely gonna be healthy for both of them.
It's not a black and white situation.
