Anyways, my original point was that Clark put herself into that desperate position of watching her mother because she killed Dante even after knowing that killing him wouldn't achieve anything. She would have had more time (to save Abby at least) if she hadn't been so rash.

1. Cage kind of was committing genocide. He was trying to kill ALL of the Sky People for their bone marrow. Maybe he didn't succeed in killing all of them, but that doesn't change the fact that he tried to.

2. I do sort of agree with you that Clarke put herself in that position. Killing Dante was pointless. She tried to prove a point but there was really no point proven, because Cage didn't stop drilling the Sky People of their bone marrow after Dante died, he just began to drill into her mother for revenge. If Clarke killing Dante led to Cage surrendering and letting the Sky People go, then yes, him being shot by Clarke would have accomplished something. Though, that wasn't the case. After Clarke killed Dante, it had the opposite affect. It made Cage want to kill the Sky People even more rather than let them go and surrender. Clarke should have thought about what her decision could lead to before actually making it.
