They want to show that Lexa's not the only one who deserve the flame by making Luna a stronger warrior, giving everyone an acceptable reason to make her a commander even if she was branded as a traitor but diminishing Lexa's character as someone who doesn't deserve to be a Heda after all the years she spent uniting the 12 clans makes it so bad.

I think it would have been better if they showed how the Conclave was done. How the flame chooses the next commander.

There were so many things they could have done to fill the episode with so may explanations but the writers end up making it bad in each turn.
