Subject: put the mess
When Campbell finished this secret walk, she thought she could put the whole ugly mess behind her.

Как я понимаю "put the whole ugly mess behind her" означает "оставить скверные неприятности позади неё". Нигде не нашёл такой expression. Получается, что put переводиться как "оставить".

Oxford Dict:

put something behind one:
get over a bad experience by distancing oneself from it
Ex.: they have tried to put their grief behind them and rebuild their lives
