Lexa has been back and fourth between ruthlessness and the visionary side of her throughout S2. But now she made it clear what side she chose.

Remember she only requested for Raven to die after Gustus' poisoning when Indra argued for everyone to die.

The only reason Lexa let those people in Tondc die and wanted to assassinate Octavia was to ensure victory at MW. She wasn't a full on visionary in S2 because she had wars to win and people to protect, but with MW gone, she can focus more on changing the beliefs of her people.
