Ultimatley it was ridiculous, but understandable given the situation. I agree. When Raven suggested the plan to Clarke, I was thinking the same thing. But what Clarke actually did instead - killing Finn - it also made me realise why Clarke was the main character and why she became a natural leader. And also why between Raven and Clarke, Clarke will be the one who will be 'picked first', like what Raven had said before.

Also, just a personal opinion, but I didn't feel much when Finn died. Firstly, their love didn't really move me in the first place. It seemed to happen too fast, and only be fed from desperation. Like Clarke had told Raven once, she hardly knew Finn. After what Finn had done, I think that Clarke is even more confused as ever, and the love she has for him wavered. Somehow her "I love you too" before killing him appeared to me as her love for everybody and her friends, and Finn was special, but I wonder if she was actually in love with him.

Actually... I think I'm just clouded by my little obsession with the Bellarke ship. Because I realised along the way that Bellamy and Clarke seem to be slowly learning about each other and they actually understand one another better than anyone else right now. Like the many times Clarke had told him, "I know you're not a murderer". It's as though she had seen through his soul, and somehow makes it easier for me to believe that she can actually fall in love with him, eventually.
