"If this is what they're turning Lexa into just to have Clexa"

I think it made sense (for the most part anyways). Lexa's character has always been a visionary and she always wanted to change the Grounder society, but never really did. Clarke (from the moment they met) started making her see that she could change and choose mercy instead of revenge. Lexa also helped Clarke make smarter choices that required her to put her personal feelings, causing her to become a stronger and better leader. They're rubbing off on each other. That's all.

Clexa or not, Lexa's decision made perfect sense to me. It didn't have anything to do with Clexa really. It's just Lexa's character development. True, Clarke played a role in that but it doesn't mean it was done to shove Clexa together.
