It all started when Murphy dared Octavia Blake to enter Arkadia’s first-ever "Great Grounder Bake-Off," a cooking contest created by Raven and Monty as a distraction from, well... the usual apocalypse stuff

“I’ve literally gutted a panther with a broken sword. How hard can baking be?”she said getting ready

Famous last words

She stormed into the mess hall wearing war paint and an apron that said “Bite Me, I’m Baking.” Bellamy tried to intervene, but she shooed him away with a whisk

The competition began. Clarke baked elegant star-shaped cookies shaped like snowflakes. Monty made algae cupcakes that no one trusted. Murphy just stole ingredients from everyone and claimed he was doing “abstract culinary art.”

Octavia? She was going full-on skairipa mode

“Mine will be a tribute to the ancient Grounders,” she declared, dumping something unidentifiable into a bowl“It has earth in it. Literally. I dug up the mud myself.”

"You did what?"you asked in amusement

Jasper, judging from the sidelines (and absolutely not sober), leaned over to Raven“Is she making a... cake? Or a cursed object?”

The oven exploded halfway through

“That’s how you know it’s done.”octavia said with a smirk

"Oh god"You said shaking your head in disbelief

She presented her final masterpiece: a charred loaf that somehow smelled like burnt leather and victory. Everyone was too scared not to vote for her

Octavia won first place

Second place went to Clarke

Third place? Murphy. He never baked anything but threatened to “spike the water with motor oil” if he didn’t place. As for the cake?

Monty’s pet algae colony developed a new species after eating a bite

"Moral of the story never challenge Octavia Blake. Especially not in the kitchen"you said leaving the kitchen

"You didnt even try it"Octavia said following you out of the kitchen genuinely confused
