“The 100” recap (3.3): Fealty

Marcus and Abby go to Polis, where there’s a cute little market set up. Marcus is obsessed and barters with a local, getting a bite of a weird phallic food in exchange for one of his guard patches. Abby loves seeing him in this environment, seeing him happy, and tries to give him the Chancellor pin, but he says they should hold an election instead. But no matter what, they’re in this together. (For now.)

Indra comes to greet them, all smiles, and leads them to the summit.

Meanwhile, Lexa is training a little nugget. He manages to get a hit in, and she deems him ready to be a warrior.

I would kill to see a flashback of Li’l Lexa training.

Titus asks her about her decisions as of late, but Lexa says she won’t let the fear of Ice Nation, or the fear of war, back her into making decisions she doesn’t want to make. She says that when Wanheda bows to her, everyone will accept skaikru as the 13th clan. Titus asks why Lexa keeps making these decisions that only serve to elevate Clarke, but Lexa insists Clarke elevates herself and calls Clarke special. Titus tells her that she’s special in her own right, and that to get special squared, she should kill Wanheda, and take her power. And in this case, I don’t think he means absorb it like Highlander, I think he means the power she currently has over Lexa and thereby all trikru. Either way, now Lexa and Clarke have both been advised to kill each other for their people.

You said kiss, right? I like that plan.

In Mt Weather, Raven is having a hard time figuring out the missile codes, so Gina decides to go check the President’s office, just in case he wrote it down. Meanwhile, outside, the Blakes find dead skaikru, proving that Echo wasn’t lying about Ice Nation. There are no weapons in Polis, but Octavia doesn’t just leave her sword lying around. Luckily Echo’s plan will take them through the tunnel, so away they go.

In the tower, Clarke considers the knife she found right where Roan promised her it would be. Lexa comes in, at her behest. “I’m here,” she says, her words laced with hidden meaning. When she doesn’t answer right away, Lexa says her name in that way that sends shivers down my spine. “Clarke.”

Well, that’s all the motivation Clarke needs, a reminder of the connection they had, the connection Lexa broke. Clarke jumps up and puts the blade to Lexa’s throat.

Kinky.

But Lexa doesn’t fight. You know she could. She could probably lay Clarke out before Clarke knew what hit her. She’s been an expertly trained warrior since she was a wee child. But she doesn’t fight back, not now. She just looks sadly at Clarke, and whispers, “I’m sorry.”

That sound is just my heart shattering into a billion pieces, don’t mind me.

Clarke’s eyes fill with tears, and she realizes there’s no way in hell she can do this. She drops the knife—something no one else in the universe would have been safe doing after threatening the Commander—and Lexa says, “I never meant to turn you into this.” And I wonder if maybe Lexa is thinking of Costia. About how war and a loss of someone she cared about turned her hard, turned her ruthless, and how maybe she kind of forced that upon Clarke as well, by letting her in and then betraying her. Or maybe she’s just thinking of how she once advised Clarke to harden her heart, then took it back, then forced her hand anyway by breaking it.

At any rate, Lexa is setting Clarke free. Her mother is here, and Lexa will have her escorted out. But Clarke has a better idea.
