Well, rules are generally non-terminating with respect to the context of the connection, unless you explicitly stop the state-engine or divert it to another state - neither of which you have done here in your rule. Returning above just terminates the rule in this event handler and continues to the next state.
What would you have the rule do? Do you want to respond to the client? If so, use HTTP::respond. Would you like to close the connection? If so, use HTTP::close. Basically, tell the BIG-IP what you would like to do. Simply returning from the rule will make it continue on, as if you had any other non-terminating statement in there (e.g. log).
