Yeah, Lexa did what she had to do... I don't think she intentionally did it. But in all honesty if it wasn't for Bellamy who knows what they would of done..

It's freaking intense though.. that's for sure.

the grounders did absolutely nothing other than rely on the arkers though, without them they'd wouldn't have even got their people back. i hope the 'blood must have blood' comes back to bite lexa in the ass

A lot (and that's an understatement) of people are pissed right now about the last minute betrayal of Lexa and her Grounder army. She basically condemned the 45 inside mount weather (+ Raven, Wick and Abby's group it seems) to an ignominous death, and let the Mount Weather people off scot free after what had seemed to be decades of exploitation of her own people.

All that to save, what, 100 or so grounders locked inside?

Warning: LONG @SS POST

To put some perspective on things, here are a few reminders of events so far concerning the situation at hand:

- We have learned that Reapers are actually Grounders that were captured and subjected to torture and mind control via drugs. This has been going on for a long time apparently.
- The Moutain people have abducted and killed (directly or via Reapers) what is probably hundreds of grounders across the years (we know that the Mount Weather people have been there for 97 years)
- Lexa owes the Sky people about the ability to de-tox and free Reapers, and their entire alliance relies (at first at least) on that.
- Lexa had no qualms about Anya losing 300 of her people in the war against the Sky people (just wasn't really happy about it), and no qualms about losing 250 of her people in the TonDC attack. Losses to her are inconsequential if it's about winning in the long term.
- A saying of Grounders is "Blood will have Blood", which means that if someone kills your own, you will kill them back.
- Lexa has admitted having feelings for Clarke, which are shared to an extent (how much, we do not know)
- The Mount Weather people have no problem striking villages with missiles to anyone who might be a threat. They did it before (at least twice that we know), and can obviously do it again.
- They lost communication with the only person (Bellamy) who could have told them wether the hostages would be safe or not.
- Mount Weather has spotters/ snipers who observe situations at all times.

All of that to say: The betrayal makes little sense -in appearance-.

Now, put yourself in the place of Clarke or Lexa, and try to project the battle for the next day on the eve before that happened.
They planned it really well, for a long time. And you know what? Even with their entire plan, something was obvious from the get go, that there was an enormous flaw with the main objective being freeing their people inside:

There was no way that their people inside would be let go safely just by them breaching the doors.

In fact, in all logic, when an armed force storms a fortress to rescue hostages, what happens is that said hostages are placed in direct line of fire and used as tools to make the invader back off, killing them one after another if needed.
On top of that, it was going to be an enormously bloody affair.

Imagine this: advancing a force of barbarians in cramped corridors, facing well trained troops with massive firepower who have no doubt prepared some nice choke points to mow down invaders.

So, what do you do?

It's all conjectures from here, but already around the mid-point of the episode I was thinking: From the Mountain people's perspective, their only chance (in the long term) is to divide the attackers. Make them turn on each other if possible, and if not, make one of them turn their back on the other.
At that point, I thought they were going to try Clarke as they probably think she would be the least bloodthirsty, and the one who would be willing to do anything to let her people go free.

But freeing Clarke's people made no sense I realized when Lexa turned out to be the one who was "turned".
The Mount Weather people NEED the Ark people & their bone marrow.

So from there giving an offer to Lexa made the most sense. And if they really thought about everything, Clarke and LExa had to know that such an offer could eventually be extended.

Which brings me to my ultimate point here:

In my opinion, both Clarke and Lexa are in, and this is a trick. Clarke is the one who asked Lexa to pretend to drop, and is now giving a convincing act for observers that she is alone and defenseless. The plan is probably to get the grounders back in via the waterfall or the caves, in a surprise Strike (they'll need to find the snipers/ spotters first) and hoping that the Mount Weather people will lower their guards after the deal is apparently honored.
Now you might say: what is to prevent the Mount Weather people to just kill Clarke right there and then? Nothing. But it's a risk she is taking, as she thinks they will need every drop of bone marrow they can find.

By the preview, we already know that Clarke gets inside the compound, and with a gun (she threatens Dante saying she didn't want things to get to this)... so it makes sense to think that she has an ace up her sleeve.



TLDR: We're being played, and so are the Mount Weather people.
