Lexa demanded that the Sky People leave her territory or die. Clarke Griffin instead offered a way to save both of their people imprisoned within the Mountain Men's fortress, Mount Weather, and Lexa agreed to a truce on the condition of Finn Collins's death in compensation for the massacre.

With their new-found alliance, Lexa and Clarke started working closely to free their people from Mount Weather. They grew closer and Lexa admitted to having romantic feelings for Clarke, though Clarke was not yet ready for a relationship. The alliance successfully took down Mount Weather's defenses, but before Lexa's army could attack, Cage Wallace offered Lexa a deal that ensured all of Lexa's people would be freed. In return, Lexa's army would have to retreat and never encroach upon the Mountain again. Lexa took the deal, saving her people but leaving Clarke and the rest of the Sky People to die in Mount Weather. After Clarke was forced to irradiate Mount Weather, the deaths of all the Mountain Men and Clarke's post-traumatic stress causes her to hate Lexa for her betrayal and for endangering Clarke's people.

Months after her betrayal, Lexa found herself struggling to maintain control over the Coalition; her rule being challenged first by Queen Nia of the Ice Nation, and then by Pike's faction of the Sky People. She also had Clarke brought to her in Polis amid the political turmoil. As Lexa worked to bring peace to the clans, Clarke forgave her and they became allies again and later lovers. Lexa's Flamekeeper, Titus, disapproved of their relationship

Clarke enters Lexa's room as Lexa comes into view

Lexa: When do you leave Clarke: Now. I'm sorry. Lexa: Don't be. You have to go back. They're your people. That's why I-- That's why you're you. Clarke: Maybe someday you and I will owe nothing more to our people. Lexa: I hope so. May we meet again.

Clarke moves forward and kisses Lexa and they have sex. Clarke and Lexa are in bed. Clarke is tracing Lexa's arm tattoo.

Clarke: If Octavia and I are gonna get behind the blockade by dawn-- Lexa: Shh Clarke traces Lexa's back tattoo Clarke: This is beautiful. Lexa: I got it on my Ascension day. A circle for every Nightblida that died when the Commander chose me. Clarke: 7 circles. I thought you said there were 9 novitiates at your conclave Lexa: There were Clarke: What happened to number 8? Lexa: Can we talk about something else? Clarke: We don't have to talk at all. Clarke and Lexa kiss

Later Clarke is confronted by Titus

Titus shows Clarke the gun he is holding Clarke: Titus, what is this about? Titus: I'm sorry it had to come to this Clarke. Truly I am. Clarke: Look. I'm leaving right now. Octavia is waiting for me. Just let me take Murphy and we'll go Titus: Wish I could. Lexa would never execute her duty while you live. Clarke: Hey! Titus think. She is gonna know it was you Titus: She'll think it was him. Skaikru weapon in the hands of a Skaikru thief. She might be angry enough to declare war!

Titus shoots at Clarke multiple times but misses. As Clarke tries to go through the door, Lexa appears

Clarke: Lexa? A bullet hole is seen through Lexa's shirt Titus: Heda Clarke: no, no Lexa collapse on the floor Clarke: Help me get her to the bed! I need something to stop the bleeding! You'll be okay. Just lie still, okay? Lie still. Lexa: Don’t be afraid Clarke: You're gonna be fine. Just stay still. She's losing too much blood. Stay with me. What the hell is that? Titus, what are you doing? I will fix you. Just stay with me. Oh no, get away from her! Hey, Heda, don't you dare give up. Lexa: I'm not. My spirit will live on. Clarke: No. I'm not letting you die. Lexa: There's nothing you can do now. The next Commander will protect you. Clarke: I don't want the next Commander. I want you. Lexa: My fight is over. Clarke: No. No. I won't accept that. Lexa: You were right, Clarke. Life is about more than just surviving.

You are either Lexa or Clarke or if you want someone else who is present
