At the end of episode 3 I had the impression that Kanda sent Tohma to serve as fodder for the Akuma in order for Allen to make his escape. Kanda took for granted that Allen would become flesh for the beast and chose make use of a pawn (Tohma) as a safeguard for Allen.
Kanda in his most jerk manner made himself clear that he's no ones ally and just commits to guarantee the safety and success of the mission. If he ever would send tools or pawns for Allen was it on the criteria that Exorcists are valuable due to their compability with Innocence, therefore, making them non-expendable whereas finders are expendable as toilet paper are.
But, episode four crushed that hypothetical view of mine. Kanda simply sends Tohma for scouting purposes, that is to observe and study the capabilities that the newly evolved Akuma can now exert.
Kanda knows the mission comes first above all, however, the Akuma is a persistent bastard to follow on their tails for ensuring the destruction of the Ghost. Kanda cannot let such a threat running amok scott-free, so information was to be gathered in order for him to devise a best strategy to counter such a freak.
Too bad that the LV2 Akuma went four steps ahead of Kanda.
