[That's because at the worst of times, Lexa is single-minded—and it's blinded her in many ways. Falling back on old habits in the face of discomfort is what comes easily, both for her and her people. They know what they know, and what she sees here is a man who refuses to understand that she has no reason to trust this arrangement. She hadn't spoken of the others (but then, they weren't her people to consider, not beyond Clarke), but she felt no need to defensively correct him on that point.
She had said her part, and as far as she was concerned, he willfully misunderstood her. Pointing out that he simply didn't want to answer the questions she had asked feels futile, and a waste of her time.
Judgment seeps from every part of her, radiating as if she has any right, as if she knows better. It doesn't occur to her that she might not. Lexa has to have absolute faith in her beliefs and authority, and she has to reject any doubt (even reasonable doubt).
So, her statement is simple and clear:]
The other lure? [She doesn't specify that she's referring to Cathaway, but if she has the proof Lexa seeks, then Lexa will find it. It's as simple as that.]
