Sources from writers and other members who get to make decisions for the show, say that JR was the person who DECIDED how and when Lexa would die. So, he knew the show would lose her due to her contract with FWD but HE chose how that would happen. His decision was what the writer showed in Thirteen. Javie Grillo-Marxuach (the writer of the episode) has recently said in an interview that he wasn't pleased with the turn of events and he doesn't plan on writing another episode for the show.
