When it was shown that Finn took the fall for Raven taking the unauthorized spacewalk, I wasn't too surprised. I won't claim I saw that coming all along, it just wasn't a surprise. And, in a way, it was Finn's fault; he did 'acquire' the suit for her to use & se was ready to live with the fact she'd never be a zero G mechanic (until of course, after the fact, when her supervisor did what he did to get the results of her physical disregarded, or whatever. Anyway, I guess they needed to sow us Finn's not a bad guy & normally tried to help out the people he cares about. Something to have us remember him for that, rather than when he snapped in that grounder village.

Now, Clarke killing Finn. It had to tear her up, but she had a pretty good idea what the grounders would do to him, so it was mercy. After the hiatus, expect her to moan about it for a few episodes, while people around her try to convince her (and themselves) she did what she had to do, to spare Finn a lot more pain.

While it seemed most of the rank and file grounders were outraged at this, I think the two women leaders, Lexa at least, respected the action. The grounders can be satisfied knowing the "vicious murderer" (Finn, in their eyes) is no longer a threat, even if they didn't get to do it themselves. I expect Lexa will use that to calm any grounders still bugged by  losing out on the "entertainment".
