When you think about it, the bombing of Tondc helped remove some of the 12 Clan Leaders from power, leaving a vacuum of leadership that Lexa could fill with her own allies (or even herself). Do you think she purposefully decided to allow the missile to hit to hopefully kill off the leaders/opposition to the Clan Coalition and/or the Sky People Alliance? If so, it might have been a very calculated move on Lexa's part that had nothing to do with their inside man and everything to do with Lexa trying to stay in control. She knew that Clarke wouldn't go along with it otherwise, which is why she played the Bellamy card.

It might also help explain her actions a bit bettter in BMHB1 because it shows she is more than ruthless when it comes to getting what she wants. Not only that, it would help re-unify the grounder clans and build further support for her leadership if she proves she was successful in stopping the MM without needing the Sky People after all. I just kinda hope it backfires on her, like Lincoln said it might.
