Her relationship with Madi was the major flaw and Clarke's downfall in her development in this season. I never clearly understood why Clarke be so overprotective of Madi in such melodramatic fashion that she literally do anything for her that includes making deals with the devil. In this season she unwisely uses her heart more than her head which would lead her to make terrible judgment that would seal the fate of the Earth. So in sense, Clarke's poorly handled relationship with Madi literally made HER the real antagonist of the season. And yet spite of all this, she still gets away with it.
