He is clearly the reason Octavia finally and for the first time ever denies having a brother. Lincoln's death is the reason Octavia will either hit full-Grounder mode or just abandone Skaikru, the latter is almost certain. Marie said in an interview "Their [Octavia and Bell's] relationship will never be the same". Lincoln became a symbol of hope for the grounders and the Skaikru mdedding fences (how? Nobody knows) and the reason Octavia who looked on good terms with Bell on episode 3 will finally abandon her brother's side for good! Speaking as a Lincoln fan, he did nothing worthwhile this season, not even sacrifice himself for the Grounders, because how much do you want to bet Pike is going to kill them anyway? Besides, the plot was already written BEFORE Ricky was forced off the show so there won't be much more influence of Lincoln's death than probably Octavia beating up Bellamy (making this the third POC she's taken upon herself to beat into submission).

Most people HOPED it was Indra who Bellamy got killed because that would make it less "shippy" and wangsty. It could have also been for Bellamy massacring those 300 warriors. I'm surprised she (and everyone else) didn't even seem to care? In fact, that was probably the original story: Octavia would disown her brother for that, but then JR forced Ricky to quit and got himself a nice new reason for the beat-down.
