She was going to give Lincoln the Death of a 1000 cuts earlier in the season for helping the Sky People. Then, all last season and this season, she's watched Lincoln and Octavia standing by their convictions regardless of orders or loyalty. I think that has influenced her a bit. She's been shown to disagree with Lexa quite often but still followed orders. By the end of the season, she decides to go directly against Lexa's orders and frees Lincoln, someone she had been willing to kill a couple of weeks earlier. For me, I think that's a sign of her evolving. I guess we'll find out in Season 3. :)
