First off I want to say this episode was great and one of the best. Whoever I feel if they changed a few things it could have been better, and more impactful.

First I feel they should have replaced Roan with Echo, and switched Fio with Indra. Have Luna be the main antagonist, but make Echo the secondary antagonist.

When the conclave starts have Octavia run and hide, but look and see Echo kill a random grounder just like how Roan killed Fio. While Octavia watches Echo kill someone have a grounder catch her off guard, but Indra saves her. While retreating have llian run into them and join their alliance.

After have Octavia lead the way, but accidentally run into the other alliance like on the show. After the other alliance is killed, have Echo appear from the shadows and aim her arrow at Octavia, but no one sees her. At the last minute have indra sees her and push Octavia out of the way taking the arrow to the stomach. Enraged Octavia attacks Echo, and the two have a rematch of their battle earlier this season. In the end Octavia kills Echo, and has a tearful goodbye to indra before mercy killing her. In my opinion indra's death would have been honorable, more emotional, and more impactful. Llian's death wasn't really emotional, and indra would have been more impactful since she has been around since season 2. Also their friendship enough would be more emotional and impactful.

During the final battle with Luna have her fight llian and Octavia like how she fought Octavia and Roan. Have the black rain hit, but when it does Luna uses it to attack the distracted Octavia and llian. Llian saves Octavia but Luna breaks one of his legs. Octavia tries to help carry him to safety, but as they reach safely he slips and falls. knowing he's going to die no mater what he uses the last of his strength to push Octavia inside and shut the door. Octavia watches as he looks up to see Luna, he tells her to do her worse or something to that extent. Octavia then watches as Luna says something else ominous and then kills llian by bringing her mele weapon down and crushing llian's skull.

The rest of the conclave plays out the same way as it did on the show with Octavia killing Luna like she did no changes.

The episode was still great, but indra dying would have been more impactful and emotional in my opinion. Also I feel we should have gotten an Octavia Echo rematch, which now will most likely never happen. Finally I'd give llian a better death, saving her life in the end in contrast to almost killing her when they first meet. I still like how the conclave played out, but I feel this way it could have been a tad better.
