Yeah. I already talked about the whole scenario with Octavia in my first comment, I believe, and I don't think it can be justified. I agree that Clarke is definitely a better leader with Bellamy than Lexa. The writers say that Bellamy doesn't trust himself to make decisions without Clarke and I think that she has influenced him positively (particularly in Season 1) but she also needs Bellamy to remind her who she is and make sure that she doesn't stray from the leader she started off as. Funny how the tables have turned, now that Bellamy is the merciful one.
